About me: Just in case my mother finds this website, I don't buy all my cookbooks new. A lot are second hand from garage sales and op shops. One of my favorites is a 1960's high school cookbook from Malaysia bought from a garage sale. I use to love the Time-Life Good Cook series and the Food of the World series, but I haven't had a lot of success cooking out of them. They are wonderful to read tho', so they are still in the bookshelves, and not relegated to storage.

Favorite cookbook: Thai Food by David Thompson

Lentil Soup from A Month in Marrakesh

A good plain soup which made a large potful. I made it with water, not stock, and it still worked, which is always a good sign. read more >

The French Kitchen

By Diane Hokuigue
Methuen (Australia) - 1983

Excellant recipe with detailed instructions at the start of the section on how make a good French ragout. This book is a teaching book, not just a collection of recipes.

Excellent recipe, but as with the casserole recipe, its the instructions at the start of the section that tell you how to make a good creamed vegetable soup with ANY vegetable that are worth their weight in gold

useful (2)  

Excellent light potato dish, not at all heavy. I don't add the cream, but I do use full cream milk.

Very good soup. Its the pesto that makes it.
