No Place Like Home. Rowley Leigh
Wednesday March 21st, 2012Slightly cheaply printed, and with the odd typo creeping in, this is not a book for the coffee table. Instead, petit, precise and packed with sensible classics it’s a book the true home chef can turn to again and again for reliable recipes that will always hit the spot.

Simply Good Pasta by Peter Sidwell
Friday March 2nd, 2012The book is set out by seasons, which is always helpful and encourages the reader to use what’s in the shops and cheap.
