mrphToday 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?

Date: 2007-05-15 11:18 am (UTC)My favourite cookbooks are Nigel Slater's - he writes beautifully and with enthusiasm that occasionally borders on the pornographic. Real Food, Real Fast Food and Real Cooking are favourites in my household.
My parents have a marvellous Indian book called simply The Curry Cookbook, by Charmaine and Reuben Solomon, which is now sadly out of print. The New Curry Bible is a godsend too.
