Cookbook project

[ghoti_mhic_uait]

Those of you who follow will be astonished to learn that I have completed the first fifth of my cookbook project. The reward for this is that I get to buy a cookbook, and I had planned to buy a Columbian cookbook. However, the book I had in mind has sold out. This is where you come in....


FWIW, I have a reasonable representation from European countries, and also from Asian. I have only one American book, and the whole of Africa is conspic by its a, which seems an error. (Actually, there are some African recipes in my Middle Eastern book, which was written by an Egyptian, and also in the Madhur Jaffrey world book of vegetarian cook, which is a fabulous book and I heartily recommend it. but Africa is big. Also, there's a Desmond Tutu pan-African book which seems like a good thing, to be encouraged.)

Comments, of course, entirely welcome.

Claudia Rodin's Middle East Cookery is a great book. I've had it for about 40 years, since marrying a Syrian. There are anecdotes with the recipes too.

I used to love Katharine Whitehorn's Cooking in a Bedsitter for one pan easy but tasty recipes and then the Penguin Cordon Bleu, but you wanted not European.

Oh hang on, re-reading your post you have a middle eastern one by an Egyptian, is that Claudia Rodin?

I have both those books :) Yes, it's the Claudia Rodin one. I do like it a lot.

I'm onto my second copy of Cooking in a Bedsitter. I still use it occasionally, even with a family of four.

Me too

Cooking in a Bedsitter fell to bits and I got a second hand one and Capt Ex got the Middle East Cookery in the divorce so I bought another one.
