My Cook Books
















I am obsessed with pretty recipe books as you can see. I read them over and over again. At the moment I am reading Lygon Street, which is more like the history of Lygon street and talks about all of the cultures that now have become the face of Lygon Street, and the many changes that Lygon Street has had over the years. There are also some recipes, which have been submitted by restaurant owners from Lygon Street. I have always loved Giorgio Locatelli, I watch his TV show every Sunday on Foxtel, and his book is amazing. The Cook's Book is a book that I haven't really gotten into yet, it's really big and full of knowledge and technique - I will get into this book soon. I am a sucker for the good old Women's Weekly Cook Books, and have also recently been given 'Kitchen' as a bday gift, so now I have Cook, Best 1,000 recipes and Kitchen! As for magazines I have subscribed to Delicious, and look forward to receiving it in the mail on a monthly basis :)
