Recipe Wishlist

I know I'm not alone in that I am a bit of a cookbook hoarder. Compared to most my collection is pretty small but I can see it eventually spiralling out of control.

This was the first ever cookbook I purchased when I was 13:



I wish, wish, wish I still had it!!!! You can buy it still though and I'm seriously tempted.....

I thought I might try and give myself a bit of structure for my blog based around my unfortunately rather unused pile of cookbooks by forming a list of recipes that I plan to cook in the upcoming couple of weeks.

-  Shakshuka from Jerusalem - Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi. I picked this up in January in the sales and this was the first thing that jumped out at me. I don't think I'll be making my own harissa unfortunately... or labneh.... maybe at a later date!

- Roast Chicken
I can roast a chicken alright, but I want to be able to  roast a chicken really well. This is all starting from the beginning for me so roasting a chicken is a pretty good benchmark. The recipe I'm going to do is from Simon Hopkinson, Roast Chicken & Other Stories.


- Melanzane Ripiene
From  Elizabeth David's Italian Food which my Mum has always adored but to my knowledge has never actually cooked anything from.
