Rick Stein At Home: Recipes, Memories and Stories from a Food Lover's Kitchen

Hi Everyone

I decided last year that each town/city that I visited would put a book into my collection.  When I went on a girls day out to Gore last month, I picked up Rick Stein At Home. I had no idea that when I told friends about my now cookbook, that they would tell me they watch him on TV.  I was just adding to my collection on my memorable moments bookcase.  There is no need for Pandora charms or jewellery items when you can have a new book to treasure.... unless there are gifts heading my way then by all means don't limit the jewellery choices!

Why did I choose Rick Stein At Home over all the other cookbooks on offer that day:

1. I judge books by their covers and this one hooked my in.
2. It is hard cover
3. I like cookbooks that are easily left on a coffee table and displayable
4. Plenty of pictures (cookbooks must have pictures or I won't purchase them)
5. More than 100 recipes!
6. The ingredients looked like I would have them in my cupboard
7. The extra detail - information and stories that make it more than a recipe book

Missing from this book:

1. A ribbon
2. Let's make that two ribbons - I like a couple of ribbons so I can book mark pages that I am cooking. If there are two ribbons then I can easily flick between the pages while cooking one meal

Now let me show you a couple of the pictures, that way you can see what won me over:

Apple charlotte

This is the best apple charlotte recipe I have ever made!

It is now a family favourite

Beef & Macaroni pie with cinnamon, red wine & kefalotiri cheese

Honestly, there is something for everyone!
