  • Poulet: More Than 50 Remarkable Meals that Exalt the Honest Chicken: Cree La Favour

    Tuesday November 29th, 2011

    With 160 recipes gathered into 55 recipe sets, the pages on cooking met all my needs, plenty of variety and plenty of multi-cultural flavours as befits a bird that is globally ubiquitous. Mulligatwany with Onion Flatbread, Crispy Roast Chicken with Watercress Vinaigrette, and Jerk Thighs with Jamaican Peas are just a few that spring from the page.

  • Tasting India Christine Mansfield

    Saturday November 26th, 2011

    We often hear that recipe books are dead and that everyone goes online to find recipes now.

  • The Meat Free Monday Cookbook

    Friday November 11th, 2011

    The Meat Free Monday Campaign was launched in 2009 and has grown as more people discover the benefit of taking a day off from meat – health wise and budget wise too.
