Ok, so there must be quite a few owners of this great cook book.

Has anyone cooked anything from it yet and if so how did you get on. I am still ploughing through the pages and picking out my favourite recipes and will be out on a mission this week to buy ingredients.

My wife donated one of the recipes, Yellow Lentil Soup, very tasty. One of my real favs is bulgur kofte and as our daughter says Mums Place for the best koftesi.

Hi Dennis

How did sales go at the Chateau yesterday?

Now the winter is here I am going to be concentrating on soups and there are so many to chose from but I maybe will give the lambs head soup a miss. I do not feel right walking back from the butchers with that in a carrier bag.

Sales went well, although I did expect more folk to be there. Maybe it was because of the KAR event. Ist edition has almost sold out, another 2000 copies have been ordered.



I know I wouldnt fancy lambs head either.

AJ,



I don't think I fancy asking for sheep's intestines either!! Other than that the book looks fab but like you haven't tried anything yet, next week I will test a couple of recipes out.

AJ,



I have just made my first dish from this book and it was absolutely delicious, in fact I did not make enough potatoes (only because they tasted so good). I made Chicken and Potatoes in the Oven.



The only problem (which was a minor one at that) was that the recipe used 'cups' and I have no idea what cups they were on about (english/american or any other!) and I ended up guessing some of it and had a little too much oil but I know for next time.



My husband, who at the best of times only likes traditional English meat and 2 veg dishes, even enjoyed it and would eat it again!!
