My Bookshelf
So I have all these cookbooks, so I thought you might be interested in finding out what they are and if I’ve ever cooked from them! If I have cooked from the book in question and blogged about it, there will be the name of a recipe and it will be linked to the corresponding blog post (I’ll link where possible) Listed by Author
There’s also some links to Book Depository (free shipping & usually much cheaper than here in Aus!) in case you want to purchase the books. In the interests of full disclosure I may one day earn a small commission from these links!
I also collect multiple food and cooking magazines….

Reem,
Love you stuff on the tapas restaurant. You should also look at Fuchsia Dunlop’s stuff on Sichuan food, very good and mouth watering. Good story too about travel in China. See you round. Lachlan
Hi,
Just wanted to let you know that the staff at Bei Amici think you have a great blog site.
We have a restaurant at Darling Point, we often wonder what you would think of it!
We are always at Kings Cross Markets on a saturday – Felix buys a lot of our vegies from the stall holders – if feels really good to bring big boxes of Caverlo Nero into the restaurant – I swear those leafs are the best !
We are having a Spring in Ticino Dinner on the 20th of September.
On long table and big platters of food come out and we all eat and drink – it is hosted by Manuela Darling Gansser – you will see her cook books around – have a look they are just beautiful.
Also Otto Dal Zotto – from Dal Zotto will be hosting a dinner on the 25th of October
Better get back to MYOB – thanks for the diversion
Leigh
Hey Reem – whats your fave book from the list? I like that Little Vietnam book. IF you are looking for another book to add to the list I like Nigel Slater’s The Kitchen Diaries
@Rob my fave book is probably Claudia Roden’s A New Book of Middle Eastern Food, as the way it’s written is so beautiful and so full of love, history and place and all that is evocative about food and home.
Hi Reem
Great list, I will check many of these books out as I would like to learn more and cook more at home (like your recent “time’s are a changin’ ” post)
My favourite book is Claudia Roden’s The Book of Jewish Food: An Odyssey from Samarkand to New York
http://www.amazon.com/Book-Jewish-Food-Odyssey-Samarkand/dp/0394532589
Same reasons, love, history, context: so much more than recipes its fantastic.
Glad to have seen your tweet, and found your list of cookbooks.
Cheers
Tony
Love the cookbook challenge and your extensive list of cookbooks Reem.
You should also add Stephanie Alexanders Kitchen Garden Companion to the collection – a foodie essential!
