fluffyknickers Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I love buying cook books and often hear mentioned on here Hugh Fern-whatstis family cookbook, I believe its this one? http://www.amazon.co.uk/River-Cottage-Family-Cookbook/dp/0340826363/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_i Its expensive at over £16 so wondered what you all thought - is it worth buying?

Cinnamon Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 YES,yes & yes again. Its the book I use more than any other - his Spag Bol is amazing (even if you like your own recipe,try this!), as are the Salmon Fishcakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Brilliant book! Worth looking at the Marketplace on Amazon though - you should be able to find it cheaper than that now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 There is a new one here for £7.79 + p+p http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/0340826363/ref=sr_1_olp_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1241766534&sr=1-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 It's brilliant I got mine in our local branch of The Works, roughly that same price as the one Lesley linked to if I remember rightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saronne Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I got mine second hand from our local OXFAM shop (for about a fiver). The recipes are fairly basic ones, lots of comfort food, e.g. cakes, scones, pasta, bread, roasts, etc. and even a really simple one for making butter! And, like the title implies, is pitched at the family so kids can have a go, too ( under supervision of course). Saronne x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
