It certainly made me try new recipes. Since becoming a parent, this has gone out of the window, and I suspect that I have narrowed it down to the same 3 meals which are served up to guests - and I bet these are not served in strict rotation.Sarah Shoesmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03410745860215082568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8607070511807868177.post-72212455143120715282016-02-23T08:04:43.288+00:002016-02-23T08:04:43.288+00:00The pristine books niggle my family.

Within the first few months of the great cookbook embargo, I won two - one in a food quiz (all that cookbook reading must have paid off) and one in a raffle.

Rhubarb and ginger crumble immediately springs to mind. I eat exquisite rhubarb puds in restaurants during the (ever-extending) rhubarb season, and as a grower and home cook, I really do not need another recipe for crumble! That said, it would be an unusual kitchen gardener who didn't enjoy the stories behind the food and Pete Lawrence's passion for the subject. I enjoyed reading it in the same way as I enjoy reading Nigel Slater - they are comforting reads and I will happily snuggle up and read this book a few more times.Sarah Shoesmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03410745860215082568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8607070511807868177.post-25459516665354019592016-02-23T07:45:09.517+00:002016-02-23T07:45:09.517+00:00I am surprised by the butternuts!
