What I'm reading

Recipes from a 3*** Chef Gordon Ramsay, ISBN 9781844005000, Quadrille Publishing

He has been called the best chef of his generation, and this book sees Gordon at his day job - running a three-star kitchen and producing food often described as 'sublime' instead of bawling someone out for their culinary shortfallings. The book shows 50 classic Gordon Ramsay recipes presented as they would be in one of his restaurants. The second part of the book shows the dishes presented in a domestic situation with full recipes and step-by-step instructions to recreate them yourself.

What I'm cooking from

The Food I Love Neil Perry, ISBN 978-1740457170, Murdoch Books

This is the simple food Perry cooks at home and it's very approachable. A beautiful book full of plenty of ideas for those of us doing our best to turn out interesting food to share with family and friends.
