AmyG Her recipies are the best! Very consistently good. I want her and Jeffrey to adopt me. 😜 7y

tpixie @AmyG yes!! I would love to have her cook for me!! My mom and sister always use her cookbooks, so I am trying different things too! (edited) 7y

rockpools This looks lovely! She's a cook I've heard of but never seen on anything, so I don't know her style at all. I really need to get back to it and try some different things too! 7y

Cranks Recipe Book (Revised) | D Canter

I cannot cook photogenic food! I'd get thrown off Masterchef in Week 1 on grounds of presentation (OK, there might be other reasons...)

Anyhow, in an attempt to do better, I've been digging out the #neglectedcookbooks again & made a Cream of Leek Soup (very 80s, but hey). It looks... like leek soup. I can't make it pretty, so here's a pic of chopped veg. But It tastes alright - would definitely make again! #monthlycookbookchallenge @tpixie

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled Cream of leek is delicious! Your picture is definitely worthy 👍😜 7y

rockpools @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled 😆Thank you! I've decided I might actually manage a new recipe a month, if I skip the photo bit 🙈! 7y

bedandabook I have this cookbook somewhere too! Enjoy your soup. It sounds delicious. 7y

tpixie @RachelO yay! Congrats!! My sister makes a leak soup that's real good but I've never tried making it. We definitely can use the cookbook's photos it does not have to be our own! (edited) 7y

tpixie @RachelO tho I Love the barefoot contessa, had to add a few things.I read it's best to "poach" the chicken So did instead of roasting. I boiled the water( 4shallots, 2celery stalks, 2carrots),&turned heat to low & simmered the 2breasts with bone&skin about 30 minutes. shred breasts in my KitchenAid stand mixer To mayo, added 1 tsp ea Dijon mustard & dill, 1 Apple with juice of one lemon squeezed on,&1 cup chopped cashews. No idea Veronique part! 7y

Madhur Jaffrey's Quick & Easy Indian Cooking | Madhur Jaffrey

I own Anne Byrn Saves the Day Cookbook, but realized she got the Indian Silken Chiken recipe from Madhur Jaffrey. I used MJ's extra spices for the sauce & no brown sugar. I also forgot to take a picture of the food so I'll use the picture in the book. We ate it with asparagus. I would make a second batch of the sauce on the stove top to cover the rice and chicken. Otherwise it was delicious #neglectedcookbooks #monthlycookbookchallenge
