A cookery book review blog

[cherrytree Profile]

A little while ago on the old BBC board somebody gave a link to a food blog by (I think) the cookery editor of the Sunday Times who reviews the latest cookery books. Please can anybody remember this and put the link on here? Thank you.

Morning Cherry tree!
I don't know which one was recommended on the BBC, but I stumbled on one the other day:

I found a review for a book I was interested in, and thought it looked interesting.

Not a blog but I always read the "reviews" on Amazon from the people who have actually bought the book. Not much help if it is new books I suppose and you don't know what they are but I always read the titles of new cookery books from the lists found in most papers etc.

Thank you all of you. Yes Onemore cheeky one, that was the one. Great to be able to do all this again without so much as a hiccup.

Well, that's half-an-hour of my life just gone... what a great blog. I just clicked from review to review and read. And now I really need to go and cook something. Possibly fish finger sarnies from the Baker Brothers. Thanks OMCO.

It is a great blogg isn't it.
I was supprised by the latest one, I do not really rate Lorraines show, but I am clearly in the minority, if I see her book in the sale I may give it a go after all.

Hi Lou!
I am not that keen on the Lorraine Pascal programmes, but bought her baking book for my youngest daughter, who is 11 and a keen cook. She has made palmiers, cakes and the most delicious profiteroles (3 times!!) - all without any help - and various other things - everything was really delicious - She found the book so 'unscary' that she just got on with it all!

That's interesting HH, I find Lorraine Pascal a bit sort of droney, and her anecdotes are pointless, she also never, ever eats anything she cooks (maybe I'd look as good as her if I didn't eat anything.....) But a book that keen to cook children can follow without getting angry and storming off is always a good buy in my view!!

Yes, its been quite a success - and because it isn't officially a 'children's' book, she thinks its quite cool!
All the recipes are really straight forward and so far the results have been excellent!
