About me: Almost vegetarian (I eat some fish and seafood, and all cheeses). Not a great cook but I like to eat, so I give it a go. I'm a big fan of simple, nutritionally balanced dishes with a lot of flavour, and I often come up with my own variations after trying any number of recipes. I'm not a fan of dinner parties and I don't tend to make anything special for guests unless they have food allergies or pet hates and can't eat what's cooking - home for me is somewhere to hang out rather than 'entertain'.

Take 6 Ingredients

By Conrad Gallagner
Kyle Publishing - 2004

A very good idea, this is not basic, hearty one-pot cooking but a variety of clever dishes, many of which use luxury or unusual ingredients (foie gras, truffles and truffle oil, quail's eggs, caviar, etc). Only about a third of the recipes are accompanied by pictures, which is a shame, but they all look stunning.

The vegetable section is a disappointment, but there are vegetarian starters, soups, salads, pastas and risottos.
