Food Culture

I like to read recipe books. I even sometimes cook from them, but in my heart of hearts, I don't think of myself as the sort of cook who makes fancy stuff very often, so mostly I just browse them.

Delia's complete basic cookery book is very useful I'd say - stuff in there isn't fancy but it's a reference for when you want to know how long you should cook a chicken for, or what's a good starting point for a beef stew.

Jamie's 30 min meals has turned out to be a very good inspiration read for certain quick meals - eg his quick chicken pie turns out very nicely.
