1.World's Best Restaurants by: Think Books September 05, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £20.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £12.00 You Save: £8.00 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £13.78
Once upon a time if you wanted to find the best restaurants in the world it meant owning multiple Michelin guides and reading lots of reviews from different sources. For the past 6 years however the food establishment has voted for the best restaurants from around the world. For this purpose the world is divided into 23 voting regions with a selection of up to 31 top chefs and critics in each region, each casting up 5 votes for their favourite restaurants. 3410 votes in total. They must have visited the restaurant in the last 18 months and can only cast 2 votes for restaurants in their home region and they can't vote for themselves. Now for the first time these reults have been published in book form. This has resulted ... Read More:

2.Piri Piri Starfish: Portugal Found by: Tessa Kiros April 07, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £22.50 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £11.25 You Save: £11.25 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £8.99
I write as a cook who enjoys actually reading cookery books, not just cooking from them. In comparision with Tessa's other books this one has turned out to be less enjoyable. The publishers should take note: The simple fact that the ingredients are not arranged vertically makes it more difficult to grasp the recipe as a whole, it's not as amusing when just flicking through the book for inspiration! I don't know why but it does give the impression that Tessa hurried through Portugal just to write this book, there's no soul to it if one could say that. That said, the book as a whole is beautifully published, the photographs amazing and I have tried Pasteis de Nata, very good!

4.Indian Takeaway: One Man's Attempt to Cook His Way Home by: Hardeep Singh Kohli September 04, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £16.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.49 You Save: £8.50 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £5.75
I really like Hardeep Singh Kohli and I love food; so this book should have been right up my alley. Having asked himself the question, `Why did I feel the need to apologise for being British in India and apologise for being Indian when in Britain?', Hardeep plans a journey to India in order to `find himself'. The blurb would have you believe that he does this by cooking typically English foods such as Yorkshire Pudding and fry ups, and using them as a means to connect with Indian people and as a result to learn more about himself and his feelings about having a dual nationality. Unfortunately, the blurb is a bit misleading. Just to give you an idea of what I mean, I quote from page 208 (more than two-thirds of the way through the book) ... Read More:

6.Cool Camping Cookbook (Cool Camping) by: Tom Tuke-Hastings, Jonathan Knight July 15, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £12.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £12.30 You Save: £0.65 ( 5%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £6.39
This is such a cute little book! the recipes aren't really hi-tec or anything but it tells you how to build a fire and gives you checklists for equipment and stuff, which is good if you've never been camping before. and it's got lots of yum stuff i never would have thought of, like cooking roast chicken or this omlette with strawberries in. Theer are other harder recipes, but I preferd the easy, messy stuff which involves stuffing things on sticks! And barbecue stuff is well-covered too. The pictures look good but not fake, and the words are quite quirky and funny, made me laugh anyway, which i wasn't expecting. glad i bought it... might spur me on to cook a bit more outdoors instead of heading to the pub...

8.How To Start and Run Your Own Restaurant: An Insider Guide to Setting Up Your Own Successful Business (Small Business Start-ups): An Insider Guide to Setting ... Business (Small Business Start-ups) by: Carol Godsmark February 25, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £12.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.39 You Save: £4.60 (35%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £10.28
This is a great little book for anyone interested in setting up or buying a restaurant. It covers all the basics although I feel it could have gone into a bit more detail on certain key subject like how to calculate cover figures and licensing, but as i said, covers all the basics. The fact that the book has been written with the UK market in mind is like breath of fresh as most other books are for US market.

10.Greek Cookery: 300 Traditional Recipes by: Aspasia Angelikopoulu December 01, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.95
All style and no substance. The recipes are very brief and leave you guessing. Covers all the favourites, but not in any detail. Sorry I wasted the money and I found it a copy of the popular blue covered tourist cookbook available in every language in the souvenier shops, so don't buy it if you already have that one!
