I've been mooching again ! I've had my weekly mooch on the table top sale again today and I have come across two bargain hard back books at the super price of 30p each. They are both cookery books and I always have a sneaky look first to see if the recipes look tasty! The first book is called 'Chinese Food Made Easy' and the other book is called 'Vegetarian Bible'. Now there was a time when my husband would not have entertained such a notion as a vegetarian meal .Like a lot of people his thinking was that a meal was not a meal without meat but in recent years our tastes have changed and we now eat more meatless meals than before. Flicking through the book there are lots of tasty things that we are going to try; leek & goats cheese crepes, various risotto's, onion tart, rosti , dhal , just to name a few. The Chinese cookery book as you can imagine is full of wonderful recipes but the ingredients are a bit more exotic !
We hardly ever go vegetarian here, but I am going to try it this summer. My hubby said he could make a meal out of sweet corn and fresh cucumbers and tomatoes so I'm going to take him up on it!
ReplyDeleteAsian vegetables grow well here so I should look more at Asian cooker books.
ReplyDeleteHi Mary, If I lived in USA I don't think I would eat much veg as I have always found that the choice & quality of meat in America is superb.
ReplyDeleteHi Frugal Down Under, Good to hear from you , I've just been having a look at your scarecrow.
Oooh I am so envious of your book finds, especially Vegetarian Bible. I am an avid veg home cook and love experimening. Cooking from Isn't it amazing how our tastes change over the years. Cooking fresh veg from scratch is also very thrifty and far more tastier I think, Happy cooking.
