1.Piri Piri Starfish: Portugal Found by: Tessa Kiros April 07, 2008

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!

A seductive little number this, so much so that I forced my partner to accompany me to Petersham Nurseries for lunch one sunny summer afternoon recently. It was just as I hoped. The food itself as cooked by Skye and her team surpasses the many tempting recipes featured in the book. I had a lovely starter of scallops on a sweetcorn and chili puree, followed by wild halibut with lentils and chard, followed by a rich chocolate mousse with a caramel sauce - let me tell you, divine does not do justice to the fish and the mousse. Died and gone to heaven. But that's the restaurant - the book was the precursor and now the souvenir of that lovely expedition, and I am spurred on to perfect the recipes at home.

3.A Table in the Tarn: Living, Eating and Cooking in South-west France by: Orlando Murrin April 01, 2008

This is not 'another cookbook'. It is a story of a renovation of a once pretty house into a rather lovely manoir. Beautifully written and illustrated. The book is a memory of happy times and some disastrous - normal problems which happen to anyone renovating in France. This is not just for francophiles but anyone who likes a good story and some wonderful recipes, which are easy to follow and delicious to eat. For gardeners, it has some wonderful ideas. It has to be on the Christmas wish list. Keep it on the kitchen table and when the winter is too much, have a little bit of France to cheer you up.

4.Gordon Ramsay's Healthy Appetite by: Gordon Ramsay May 02, 2008

Not a great book. Note the apostophe in the title - this is Gordon Ramsey branded, but he only wrote the intro. The recepies are by his trusty side-kick Sarge. The recepies themselves are all pretty simple, basic stuff - not what you would hope (or expect) from Gordon Ramsey. Save your money and spend it elsewhere!

At a time when the government are telling us to eat well and exercise and food is becoming more expensive local councils are taking the decision to bulldoze allotments. This book captured the community spirit of the place and encouraged me to plant some veg in my garden! The photos are great too. Already a fan of the restaurant and the previous books, this one did not diappoint. Brilliant book, vibrant recipes, especially the marinades!

I bought this for my wife who is a very good cook. I thought there was a good mix of simple and more difficult recipes for her to try. So far she has tried two. The Liquorice poached pears (p210) - trying to get liquorice essence has been a nightmare and it seems that the only place to get it is the Internet (possibly easier in London). 3 teaspoons seems a lot of essence too and an experienced chef (with 1 Michelin star) seemed to think it was over the top. If an item is hard to source tell us where we can get it. The Infusion of summer berries (p170) was the second attempt at a recipe. The Infusion, following the recipe tasted like vinegar. Luckily my wife is experienced enough to sort it out. Gordon Ramsey's books ... Read More:

Another beautiful book has arrived from Petersham Nurseries. When I read her first book 'A Year in My Kitchen', I felt like I was not reading a mere cook book, but it felt like it was a book with a story to tell... I do take some people's comments that the ingredients listed in her books are hard to get, and her recipes seems sometimes a little complex. Yes, her books are not like Nigella's nor Delia's (both of whom I adore). Just think about it, both Nigella and Delia publicly say that they are not a chef, but a cook. Whereas, Skye is a well known chef working in a well-established restaurant, Petersham Nurseries. I am a seasoned cook (who has been cooking for more than 30 years), but I have to confess one thing to you ... Read More:

8.Nigella Christmas: Food, Family, Friends, Festivities by: Nigella Lawson October 02, 2008

Nigella's Christmas book is utterly fabulous.. like the lady herself. Beautiful to look at, rich sumptuous and full of good ideas. The recipes and ideas for gifts are sublime and the whole colourful book makes me happy just reading it. Lovely Christmassy colours of red and green with lashings of gold and sparkly bits. Naturally there are fabulous drinks too. By the way, the reviewer who says she will never put chocolate in her Christmas cake does not know what she is missing, that cake with the chocolate and prunes is simply THE BEST CAKE EVER I baked that last year and it was eaten in 3 days and I had to make another one. Usually cake is hanging around well into the New Year. I have just purchased lovely snowflake cookie cutters ... Read More:

Gorgeous, gorgeous book. I've eaten at the Wolseley many times albeit never breakfast and this charming little book is just the bees knees! Beautifully presented, lovely pictures, delightful recipes - what more can I say. Can't wait for Lunch, Tea and Dinner. This will rank very high on my next Christmas shopping list.

I think Rose Prince is a great consumer journalist, but I'm afraid I found this book disappointing. No matter how worthy the message, if it doesn't inspire, I think the message is lost...and this book really doesn't inspire me, at all.
