My Favourite Cookbooks - Part 3
The chilly days call for cosy cooking. Comfort foods and simmering pots of hearty meals, it's a wonderful time of the year for cooking.
In part three of my favourite cookbook's series, I focus on recipe inspiration to make the most of this time of year - root veg, rich meat and spiced cakes. Enjoy.
THE BOOK OF JEWISH FOOD - CLAUDIA RODEN
No other religion does comfort food quite as well as the jews. No matter your religious affiliations (or lack of), this book has something for everyone. Of course, it contains a fantastic recipe for Jewish Penicillin aka Chicken Noodle Soup - which you'll be making sooner rather than later this year - but they is also a myriad of stuffed savoury foods, sweet and dense baked goods and comfort food for any emotional ailment.
HOMEMADE MEMORIES - KATE DORAN
Ah be-ta-jaysus, this wonderful book just gives you all the feels. It's exactly what is says on the tin; your favourite childhood treats with a modern update. Kate Doran's wonderful little book is choc full of little indulgences to bring your mind and heart back to simpler times. Her Banoffe Pecan Eclairs are on my "To bake soon" list.
SLOW COOKING - JAMES MARTIN
As the name suggests, this book is all about the low'n'slow method of cooking; which is just perfect for this time of year. There are many recipes that lend themselves to being bopped in a slow cooker before you head out the door, only for your to return to their tender and warming welcome upon your arrival home. His update on the traditional roast chicken with his One Pot Roast Chicken that packs a flavour punch with chorizo and chilli will bring your belly joy.
SEASONAL BAKING - CLAUDIA RODEN
If you're a regular reader of my blog, you'll know that I'm all about about the seasonal eating. It just makes sense - economically and gastronomically - to eat produce when it's in season, at it's very finest. Fiona Carin's beautiful book reflects that ethos wonderfully and I personally feel it is in the latter end of the year that the best recipes come alive; warming notes of ginger and cinnamon floating through the air can't help but put a smile on ones face. Also, if you plan on making some homemade treats as Christmas favours for people, this book has some great ideas for you.
