If you've been around here awhile or know me at all, you will know that I have a crazy love of cookbooks. I love to buy them, I love to use them, I even love to read them...just like novels.
A week after Christmas, my daughter & I were at Barnes & Noble. I saw Nigella Lawson's cookbook, Nigella Kitchen, for 50% off. I love to watch Nigella. There's just something about her...maybe her British accent, maybe how eloquently she speaks of the food...I don't know...I just love her.
Anyway, I picked up her book, scanned through it & talked myself out of buying it. Several days later? Total regret. Why didn't I just buy it? It was 50% off for Pete's sake!
The following week, my daughter & I went to Barnes & Noble again. (Book lovers, the two of us.) As we were browsing, I came across her cookbook once again, fortunately still 50% off, & I quickly grabbed it.
Can I just tell you how much I love this cookbook? Honestly, I think this one is a keeper. It is filled with normal recipes with mostly normal ingredients and lots of great photos. I highly recommend it.
So, do you have any favorite cookbooks that you'd like to share with this cookbook crazed girl?
Looks great Gina...hope you share a delicious recipe or two with us!
ReplyDeleteI love my Rachel Ray cookbook (30 Minute Meals 2) and my Cook Yourself Thin cookbook (from the show on Lifetime). I also love (but have never used) my Sopranos cookbook, and my Hello Cupcakes cookbook!!
ReplyDeleteAll in all (I have alot of Pampered Chef cookbooks) I've probably got a collection of 30+ cookbooks! Eek!
I love cookbooks, too. I also enjoyed Nigella's show when it was on BBC America. I wonder if the B&N near me has it on sale? :D Which recipe is your favorite so far?
ReplyDeleteYes, yes I do...my favorite is the Chinese takeout menu:) I have watched Nigella though and thought maybe even and I could make that. Enjoy your new book and hope you are staying warm.
ReplyDeleteI am starting to love cook books....I have found some good deals at HomeSense as well. Just looking forward to our kitchen being done so I use them!! Cook book must have pictures though!!
ReplyDeleteI love Nigella too! One can never have too many cookbooks. I hope you share some of your favs.
ReplyDeleteI am your newest follower. I would be delighted if you followed me back. have a wonderful week-end. Linda
I love Nigella's cookbooks! I don't have this particular one (tomorrow I'll be going to B&N to see if I can also find this half off), but I do have four others. Dense chocolate loaf cake is one of my all time faves.
ReplyDeleteooohhh....I am going to have to check this out. I have a collection of cookbooks, right now I have all of the Barefoot Contessa cookbooks. We have a ritual during the Christmas holidays where we buy a new cookbook and try out recipes exclusively from that book over the holidays. The summer is usually another favourite time for this same ritual.
ReplyDeleteGina....you have determined our book! Merci!
Yes, we love her... I love the way she cooks she doesn't make a big deal out of it and goes with the flow...
