Food

Those top ones are not recipe books, e.g.

The easy vegetarian is by The Gate, it's got some nice recipes in it.

I'd quite fancy some of these, Caz--the Elizabeth David ones, Jane Grigson, and the Tarla Dalal. I could pick them up tomorrow if that's good for you?

Edit: Just realised you you might want them gone in one lot, in which case I'd take them, too.

Is 'toad-in-the-hold' a spelling mistake or was it originally called that? I can't seem to find any conclusive web references other than that it seems to be a common mishearing. It would be an interesting meaning.

Here's a good toad-in-the-hold story:

Priority definitely to anyone who takes the lot! @Oliver Schick PM me and we can arrange pick up. Unless @tommmmmmm wants dibs on the ones he mentioned first?

Happy to get some of them for Tom and to give them to him sometime, too. I managed to miss that he was interested in English Food, too.

English food is exceptionally good. A book every home should have and incredibly well written.

Worth it for the Yorkshire puddings alone.

I can take the whole lot in the second picture, interested in the Tarla Dalal too, unless @Oliver Schick can't let it go.

Strawberries and balsamic vinegar are a strong combo, even better with balsamic glaze!

I almost bought triangular plates today!

The only recipe I ever did was this one, (in Italian)

http://ricette.giallozafferano.it/Gnocchetti-di-castagne.html

quite straightforward, as @rive_gauche recommended, to be able to taste the delicate flavor the sauce has to be equally delicate, like sage and butter

But ler me get one thing straight, do you have chestnut flour or are you planning on making your own starting from roasted chestnuts?

I have chestnut flour and chestnut puree and chestnuts to roast.

Can I dibs these?

Will forward once read.

That is the awesome flavour face.

First time you have strawberries and freshly ground pepper, then on to the balsamic glaze.

My fave bits were sambhar and payasam (made with bulgur wheat!).

strawberries and black pepper is good.

are good

were good?

I'm still VERY tired.

Just made a lovely smoked haddock and prawn pie, from a Nigel slater recipe.
Lush!
Will make again..

Anyone got a good brisket recipe?

Jamie Oliver's Bloody Mary brisket and horseradish mash is yet to disappoint, can't remember which book it's in but is on the website as well.

Had no good bread for halloumi wraps so I made sourdough croutons with rose harissa and a salad instead.

I'm no food photographer so you'll have to take my word that it was delicious.

No strawberries?

soften onions in butter, add seasoning of choice (a few from the following bay leaves, juniper berries, salt, pepper, lea and perrins) add beer and the brisket, leave in low oven for 12 hours. when done pull brisket out and leave to stand while you reduce down the cooking juices

serve with something to sop up the juices - bubble and squeak (with savoy cabbage or shredded brussel sprouts) or a butter bean mash

Made this on Friday. No pics but very good and easy - I parted out a whole chicken but could be done with just thighs. http://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/kimchi-braised-chicken-with-bacon

Glutinous rice with dried scallop, shrimp, mushrooms and chinese sausage. Couple of fried eggs and some chilli sauce. Solid brunch
