Yes, ...How could I have forgotten Jack's book? Yes, I love that and I love Miguel Barclay's One Pound Meals too. You're like me - rarely do I complete a recipe the way it says. Subbing is the name of my game too - why go out and buy something special if it is not necessary?<br />J xJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116524003944939298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1088693920806826302.post-31033340901592825442018-03-13T18:37:35.542+00:002018-03-13T18:37:35.542+00:00Favourites are: A girl called Jack (Jack Monroe),...Favourites are: A girl called Jack (Jack Monroe), The Good Housekeeping Book of vegetable cookery and my folder of all sorts of recipes cut from magazines, from friends, from blogs etc. I am good at improvising and substituting for things I haven't got to hand so the finished dish often differs from the original recipe in some way!

My Deliciously Ella trio of books, those by Jack Monroe and most of the River Cottage gangs books (Hugh F-W, Pam the Jam etc). <br /><br />My favourite cookbook to read is any by Nigel Slater, he has a way with words. He is the culinary worlds answer to Alan Bennett.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1088693920806826302.post-8813565370149728672018-03-13T09:42:00.351+00:002018-03-13T09:42:00.351+00:00I agree, some recipes are way too complex and expe...I agree, some recipes are way too complex and expensive. I tend to jot down the basic idea (which is often very simple) and substitute. I'll deal with that in the next post on the subject.<br />J xJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116524003944939298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1088693920806826302.post-39950799457760439592018-03-13T09:14:32.947+00:002018-03-13T09:14:32.947+00:00Good Morning Joy

Although, I think that learning how to cook from an early age got you interested in what to do with food - and you blossomed from there. <br />I wonder how many people actually make the things from the tv programmes? If you don't know the basics, it's pointless making "a-la-something-or-other" which probably costs a fortune in ingredients. <br /><br />I'm off to seek out what the charity shops cook books have to offer!<br /><br />Many thanks for your time and the interesting story about your Mum.<br /><br />Have a good day.<br /><br />Carol <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
