On last week's masterclasses I picke dup some good tips from both PH and MB. When it comes to bread he certainly knows his stuff but if I had to pick a favourite cook it would either have to be Hugh FW or Nigel Slater - he just seems to make it up as he goes along. That's my type of cooking!LAC EMP 2020https://www.blogger.com/profile/01999825212820503519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419544468759273678.post-13826419210586983942012-10-30T10:20:41.118+00:002012-10-30T10:20:41.118+00:00Delicious!

I loved the film of that book; like you I recognised my own obsessive personality and quest to find the "ultimate" set of recipes. Years ago my Dad got frustrated with Mum's collection of cookery books, asking why she had so many if she never cooked anything from them. From then on he would pull a book and recipe at random and get her to cook it: didn't try to cook it himself, no, just tried to organise her! I don't remember it going down well...Izhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032407776491997007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419544468759273678.post-9444100321518933042012-10-28T21:28:23.502+00:002012-10-28T21:28:23.502+00:00I loved the book and the film and there is somethi...I loved the book and the film and there is something deliciously obsessive about the idea of working through a recipe book in that way.
