Just came across your blog. You’ve got some lovely photos there, the shots look cookbook perfect.
Looking forward to seeing more of your reviews and recipes.

Thank you, Louis!! I will be getting up a few more posts in the coming weeks. Thanks for visiting my blog.
I love your cookbook collection and am on the process of building my own. Do suggest some must-have books – esp desserts, cakes, pastries, related cookbooks.
Thanks so much.
Ooh I love questions like these but where do I start??!
Nigella Lawson‘s books are a great source of recipes for baking, particularly How to be a Domestic Goddess and Feast.
I also love Rachel Allen and her book, Bake, has some great recipes which I make regularly.
Bill Granger also has wonderful baking recipes throughout all of his books.
I’ve been baking quite a bit from the Bourke Street Bakery Cookbook which has recipes from a popular bakery in Sydney, Australia. So far, their recipes (both savoury and sweet) have worked out wonderfully for me.
There are so many … but the above-mentioned are a good starting point, I think 😉 I hope to continue reviewing more recipes on this blog which will hopefully lead to more cookbook recommendations.
If you have any cookbook recommendations to share, I would love to hear from you! 🙂
I’ve just stumbled upon your website and already I’ve seen so many recipes I’m inspired to cook!
I have a ridiculous amount of cookbooks and, like you, read them like novels. So much so that I don’t remember the last time I read a ‘proper’ book!
Hope you’re well 🙂 x
It can be hard to squeeze in any “proper” reading if you’re always consumed by cookbooks! Thankfully, this blog has been a nice way for me to actually cook from the cookbooks too. But the “problem” with too many cookbooks is too many recipes to try! But life can only be good if you have problems like these 😉
Lovely to see some people with same taste,thanks for the recipes ,enjoyed them!

I’m also love French cuisine. Ok, I’m beginner in that. But for me French cuisine secret discoverer is a book Mastering the Art of French Cooking. What do you think about this book?
Greetings from Latvia!
Hi Zane,
I also love Mastering the Art of French Cooking, but I’m afraid I’ve only made a few recipes from that book. I use it more as a guide when trying new French recipes where I compare ingredients and notes with other recipes. It’s always a good read and I even have a pocket version so I can take it with me when travelling!
