I love to cook and am pretty good at it
doing stuff from scratch is far from false economy!


I can heartily recommend John Torrode's Beef cookbook at the moment.

Also I get a subscription to Goodfood magazine for Christmas from my gf's mum every year. Great recipes, made cheaply and healthily.

Good tip though No3L, let's hope it inspires some others.

Cheers!
That's a good tip, Good Food mag. I might ask for that this christmas.

I've found the internet is a bloody brilliant resource for recipes - I use BBC Food and Delia's site a few times a week looking for inspiration.

the good food website is also good
www.bbcgoodfood.com contains most of the recipes from the magazine, but a while after the magazine has come out.

I've also got a set of Carrier's Kitchen, a weekly thing that my mum collected through the 70s/80s.

Approximately 3000 pages of recipes, cookery skills and stuff about wine and things from Robert Carrier in 9 volumes. It's amazing.

when I was searching for brownie recipes *cough*

Looks good - I'll check it out.
