Rick stein? Mr not keen on sea-food moi?

And even if i did like it... Rick fekkin stein??

[RosieH]

Food is a sybaritic pleasure. I don't think you can enjoy the pleasures of the flesh if you're too squeamish to touch the flesh.

[RosieH]

Ok then Sean, Tom Aikens.

[DJKillaQueen]

Hmmmm....but some would argue the pleasure is in the eating...not the cooking.

['bout now]

Sean = Richard Corrigan surely. Stalker? Me?

[RosieH]

I did think Corrigan, but Corrigan's a bit portly these days, which is why I went for the foxier Aikens.

And DJ, one word, frigid.

Really? Wish I'd never read this thread now

[RosieH]

Oirish.

I gave you foxy Aikens, he of many a lady's wet dreams.

Edited to add, not that I'm saying... oh bugger it.

['bout now]

`yep, he's a Dad and all. Think of it as a suit you'll grow into.

Rachel = Psycho. The eyes, look at the eyes.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Fair enough bout now

Although i should mention you aren't the first to the stalking macgabhann party even today, much less this week

[SeanMacGabhann]

Oh and Rosie is spot on about the scary Rachel women

[DJKillaQueen]

But the Rachel woman is also a mother! How can she be scarey?

[SeanMacGabhann]

If ever a question needed some kind of sign to indicate it's non-seriousness..

[DJKillaQueen]

LOL....

Oh heck.

I've just counted 68 71 ( plus there are a few I haven't counted upstairs ) and not including Robert Carrier ( 1970's metal ) Cook box.

Tamsin Day-Lewis kitchen bible is right up there ( where ever there is ) as is the W.i home skills "Preserves and preserving" c.1978

Is this turning into cookbook poker ?

A.:-S

( not a masterchef in sight either :)))

[RosieH]

Recipe book poker? Ok.

Are you in the credits for any of them Annette? ;-)

One of mine contains a recipe for risotto that requires the still-warm blood of a freshly slaughtered pig.

[Annette Curtain]

No credits BUT a signed 1st edition.

"still-warm blood of a freshly slaughtered pig" WOW

I have a recipe for crispy pigs tails.

( not for " burnt water" though )

Nette;-)

You have a copy of that? Really?

Respect!

[RosieH]

Ooh, what's the signed first edition? Nice.

[Narnia]

I've got a signed cook book I got from my mother. Signed and dated by her with the immortal words 'remember me'. Hard to forget. Good Irish recipes too.

Nigella lawson - goddess of everything that is holy in this world.

Just wanted to put it out there....

[????]

She's clearly not unattractive but I really, really don't buy this goddess thing. Beautifully shot and posh doesn't make her Helen of Troy...and I'm a man of a certain age
