I’m in love…

…with my new cookbook.  Yeah, yeah, yeah, gimme a break!

Normally I’m one of those people who gets distracted by the shiny, colourful cover of the cookbook and  purchases it never to make anything from it, because ultimately, the damned thing sucks.  But hey, they look fab on my bookshelf!

Last week I bought another new, shiny (shiiiny…) and colourful cookbook.  I started looking through the pages and REALLY liked what I saw, so while I was out, I purchased a few necessary items.  The last few days I have been trying out some recipes and, so far,  they are AMAZING!

All the family have loved the food so far.. even our normally noncommittal 22yr old son reported “That chicken fucking ROCKED!” (Yeah, I gave up trying to get him not to swear…. it was a little hypocritical to try, don’t you think?  LOL)

Simple fresh ingredients, fast to prepare and extraordinarily tasty.

The book is Marie Claire Fresh + Fast.  You need it…. trust me.

    Don’t tempt me! I have a massive cookbook collection, but perhaps I do need another one!

    I too can attest to the fucking-rocking-ness of that poached chicken. I’m also greatly looking forward to the char siu salad tomorrow.. Mmmmm.

    Seriously, though, I think the recipes are groovy. Quick, easy to cook meals, with lots of fresh ingredients. Gotta love that!

    @fifikins – there can never be too many cookbooks in your collection!

    I have an idea. When ever you make something that fucking rocks, scan the page and email it to me.

    Then I can spend the cash on shoes or chocolate.

    Win!
