Weekend Cooking: Cookbooks I want to buy!

We were very excited this week to receive the new Recipetin Eats cookbook, Dinner. We are avidly studying it to decide what to make first, but it is a difficult decision. And we do this knowing that we haven't made everything we would love to make out of her first book. Not for lack of trying but because we have a lot of favourite recipes that we cook regularly. As soon as I have started cooking things out of it I will be back with a review.

This week though, I thought I would mention a few cookbooks that I would like to buy. In theory, there's no reason why I can't buy them, but if I did I am not sure when I would be able to cook for them, so for the time being, they are books that I will just wish I could buy. Or maybe see if I can borrow them at the library, and then decide to buy them. Each of these authors are ones that I have already bought a cookbook from and really liked them. 



Emelia Jackson - Last year I had to have Emilia Jackson's first book, First, Cream the Butter and Sugar which I reviewed here.   Later this month her next book, Some of My Best Friends Are Cookies, comes out. I love the purpleness of the cover! I would want it just for that reason!




Theo Randall - Last year I bought Theo Randall's cookbook The Italian Pantry which I reviewed here, and my recipe of the year last was the Meatballs recipe from this book.  Theo Randall now has a new cookbook out which is called Verdura: 10 Vegetables, 100 Italian Recipes. 




Meliz Berg - One of the books I cooked a bit out of last year was Meliz Berg's Meliz's Kitchen, which featured Turkish - Cypriot cooking.  I reviewed that book here. Her new book is called Dinner Tonight.



Julia Busuttil Nishimura - Last year I bought her book Around the Table, which is an interesting mix of Japanese, Italian and Maltese recipes. Now, she has a new book out called Good Food Every Day.


I'm sure that if I went looking I would find more, but for now, this is enough!
