I backed Lazy Fare by Jane Cornes Maclean on Pozible, I love the idea of a cookbook that provides delicious and easy dishes to make. I didn’t know at the time that Jane was a “Award winning writer, ex Gourmet Traveller state editor and self confessed lazy person” (same link as above), which is definitely …

Cookbook 155: The Book of Lost Recipes: The Best Signature Dishes from Historic Restaurants Rediscovered
The Book of Lost Recipes: The Best Signature Dishes From Historic Restaurants Rediscovered by Jaya Saxena was a Christmas present from very dear friends of mine, and it’s really interesting.

Cookbook 152: Simply Italian: Cooking at home with the Chiappa Sisters
I bought Simply Italian: Cooking at home with the Chiappa Sisters by Michela, Emanuela and Romina Chiappa at the start of the pandemic, and because I had seen their show, well Michela Chiappa’s show Simply Italian.

I found The Working Cook: Quick recipes for busy people, by Carina Cooper, in Coburg’s Little Free Library. I was lucky, because after I found this book and took it home, someone set the Little Free Library on fire, and everything was destroyed. It’s since been restored, and I need to drop by again and …

The book is full of amazing recipes, great photos and it is very clear that Kerrison loves food, loves sharing her cooking knowledge, and wants everyone who obtains …

Cookbook 96: 4 Ingredients
This isn’t my cookbook. 4 Ingredients by Kim McCosker and Rachael Bermingham isn’t a book I was all that interested in cooking from either, as the whole idea of cooking with only 4 ingredients wasn’t particularly appealing. I understand that this book is aimed at people who have little experience with cooking and/or who are …
