gooner.girl Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 The river cottage cook book and the river cottage yearbook? I didn't watch the tv series (i want to when its on again) but like the look of the books. i really enjoyed the Jimmys Farm ones (not that i have cooked anything out of them yet ) Currently um-ing and ah-ing whether to treat myself to the river cottage ones on amazon, they seem quite cheap... Are they good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 DOOOOO ITTTTTT! They're fantastic. Really interesting, the cookbook has really simple but useful recipes in and it written really well! The meat book is good too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnnieP Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 erm.... Amazon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 How much are they on Amazon at the minute? Bearing in mind you have to pay postage. I'm saying this as Waterstones are selling all of them at half price at the minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I think Amazon might still be cheaper. The Diary is really cool too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Check the prices against www.play.com, I say this as they do free delivery on everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooner.girl Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 Well i have compared.., I use Play a lot Liz, they are really good but both books are more expensive then waterstones and amazon... River cottage cook book paperback - £8.99 waterstones, £13.99 amazon and £14.99 Play River Cottage Year paperback £10.49 Waterstones £10.8 amazon £11.49 play Waterstones and amazon do free postage over £15, if i get them both together that might work..

Cinnamon Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I think I have all the River Cottage books now - my favourite is the Family Cookbook, which I use on a weekly basis. They are all really well worth adding to your cookbook collection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooner.girl Posted January 13, 2007 Author Share Posted January 13, 2007 'River cottage year' came through from Amazon today - have had a quick flick through and will have another look later (got slightly distracted by the other book i ordered 'starting with ducks') A lovely pic of an english springer spaniel (my favourite breed of dog) but quite a lot of pics of dead birds... Anyhow, some of the recipes look a bit out of my league but i think i'm going to enjoy the written aspect of it and the ideas it will spark!
