Mmm Yum!

The One was interviewed in this month’s Red Magazine about his TV watching habits.  His TV crush is, “Nigella Lawson.  When she’s licking her fingers in her dressing grown, I can’t turn it off”.  Whilst I have never cooked anything successfully from a Nigella recipe, she certainly knows how to talk up the food and work what she has.

Oh I have to recommend Delia - her older books are excellent and her "One is Fun" was brilliant! Have not been as keen on her newer ones but her old ones are great for teaching you the basics!!!

Oh wonder if that means he loves dark haired voluptuous older women who love cooking???? I'm in there then!!!

ROTFLMAO!!!!!

[mrs_tubbs]

Can't stand Delia either! But different things appeal to different people. But I do find it interesting that some cooks work for one person but not another.

KEEP AWAY FROM MR TUBBS!!!!!!! Oh, wait, you meant ... Never mind ...

I love Nigella, her recipes really work for me, as do Delia's. I too have tiny oven fitted in 1974 and only a small Tesco Express. I do ok though ;)

Hmm...well we use cookbooks mainly for baking and desserts, not cooking. But if we do, it'll be

The Joy of Cooking
New York Times cookbook
recently The Columbia Restaurant cookbook to get some Spanish/Cuban style going
and good old Betty Crocker
(These editions are all much newer than the ones at home, so I'm not sure they're the same, but they look close.)

I like to watch Jamie Oliver. *hides*

I coo'ed over Joy of Cooking when we were last in the US. But I've never managed to get my head round cooking with cups so it stayed in the bookshop.

I can cope with Jamie in small doses, but the whole "my old mucka" thing does get a bit wearing after a bit. As does Gordon's swearing. And after Nigella's last series, it was suggested by a Bloke I Know that she just roll naked in the mash potato and have done with it!

I do well with both Nigella and Delia, even converting recipes from grams to ounces or even to cups for North American cookery. Jamie's not bad either. I don't mind long lists of ingredients, because I do Indian cookery from scratch (yay, Mrs. Jaffrey!)

My North American fave is Fanny Farmer's Boston Cooking School cook book. I also use Julia Child a fair bit, and Elizabeth David is excellent.

Delia's Frugal Food.....ahhh wonderful and How to Cook has a fabulous recipe for damson chtney that Mr AJ makes.

[mrs_tubbs]

I don't mind long lists of ingredients. It's long lists of ingredients that I can't use for anything else, I mind! (I have also been known to cook curries from scratch)

*cries* The One will never want me .... I don't know how to cook. :(

If I was to try and prepare a meal for him, he'd end up in the emergency room and my face would be on a Armitage Fandom Wanted poster. :( I guess I'll just have to find some other way to entertain him in the kitchen.

[mrs_tubbs]

Take out ;) If you distract him with your charms and ply him with drink, he'll never notice the bags and containers - and by the time you're done, like he'll care! :D
