You're best off with a copy of Good Housekeeping Magazine as they have a whole test kitchen checking every recipe, but it's not the same as going and browsing the latest cookbooks for inspiration, to be sure.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14873449129184212792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6494360051404789311.post-43278794802768781492012-05-30T09:54:13.934+01:002012-05-30T09:54:13.934+01:00I have the same rage about cookbooks that are pack...I have the same rage about cookbooks that are packed with glossy photos but are lazily written and impractical to cook from. Jamie Oliver is a repeat offender. I assume his cookbooks are ghost-written because he's too busy posing with rustic-looking fishmongers to get his hands dirty with boring stuff like copy editing. <br /><br />I imagine for him, 'writing' a cookbook involves a long photo shoot and a quick chat to his editor. <br /><br />Editor: Okay, there's a recipe for lasagne in here. Would you like to say anything about it? <br /><br />Jamie: Oh, yeah, just write 'tinned corn makes this a lubbly jubbly twist on the classic'. That'll do...Pippa Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6494360051404789311.post-4848548095967015332012-04-30T11:44:26.405+01:002012-04-30T11:44:26.405+01:00Argh - even the Guardian are now sucking up to thi...Argh - even the Guardian are now sucking up to this whole trend.

It's just so frustrating when such a content-less show gets commissioned whilst many other more worthy subjects are left untouched and this particular presenters smugness does nothing to engender herself to me.Pnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6494360051404789311.post-58678121814865004532012-03-29T23:41:15.265+01:002012-03-29T23:41:15.265+01:00Bring back Keith Floyd!Bring back Keith Floyd!redsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07031931424540824942noreply@blogger.com
