I am like a bee in clover with all these wonderful new books to read and to make meals from. Reviews will be posted as I read them and try recipes from each. Watch this space.

I have of course already featured Simon Gault - Homemade, and have written about Lauraine Jacob's title - Everlasting Feast - but just a reminder that Lauraine is appearing at the Auckland Writers & Readers Festival next month - 4.00 pm Friday, May 17.
