A Post About Cookbooks

I love Cookbooks and I know I am not the only one (am I Sarah and Marianne?) I find that most women like a good cookbook but it is something that men don't seem to understand. We women might buy these lovely books but not necessarily cook from them, because we like the idea that we can or could. I would love to own many more than what I currently do, but the majority of them are just too expensive. (Since when have Cookbooks have hefty A$60 price tags I ask?)

My favourite cookbooks read like novels. Jamie Oliver's 'Jamie's Kitchen' and Nigella Lawson's 'How to be a Domestic Goddess' for example. I like the fact that not only can I cook from their recipes I can also read them. You know what I mean.

My last Cookbook purchase was written by Melbourne Chef, Karen Martini's 'Where The Heart Is'. Her recipes are easy to understand and most look very yummy. I am yet to make something from it yet but will do soon...

I do really like the wonderful cookbooks that the Australian Women's Weekly release and are great value for money. (Usually RRP A$12)

I have been meaning to subscribe to Super Food Ideas magazine, for about five years now, but I never have. Released each month I don't think there has been an issue when I haven't made something from it.

Two cookbooks on my 'to buy' list is the new Jamie Oliver one, named 'Cook with Jamie' and the new biggy released by the Australian Women's Weekly named 'Cook. How To Cook Absolutely Everything'.

How about you. Do you enjoy reading cookbooks? Who is your favourite author? What cookbook would you recommend to me?
