Food, glorious food...

Today featured some unexpected cookery. Not exactly challenging stuff - a purchased pie, some greens, some mash - but quite nice. Now, if I could just get the timings right (and remember to warm the plates beforehand)...

Spinning out of this, a couple of questions for the readership -

1) What's the perfect mashed potato? What, in your opinion, needs to be added to make it a little bit special?

2) Which cookbooks are utterly wonderful things that need to be purchased?

Most of my cookbooks are from the US, but Delia is good for basics.
