I know- this is a little early for an IMK post, but I’ve
been searching high and low for this book and finally found it!
It was in my kitchen- hidden between two cookbooks in the pantry
closet.
I collect cookbooks- or I used to collect them. Then I got hooked on
the internet and all the recipes on blogs and websites and well, my
collecting days seem to be over.
BUT-
THIS book remains my favorite book for perusing in the kitchen!
It is an Australian book, published in 2000- and I just love it.
I spent 2 hours yesterday poring over photos and reading about the ingredients
of cooking, baking,drinking, FOOD, glorious,FOOD!
from fruit…
to fish.
And of course,
cheese- this book has it all! I can look up cuts of meat, unfamiliar spices, types of breads
and grains! And I lose myself in all of these wondrous ingredients.
I am so happy I found it again. I find it an essential part of reading blogs- otherwise, I’m
scratching my head and wondering WHAT they are suggesting I roast for dinner?
