i have both jamie’s and gwyneth’s books. we made a meal from jamie’s and the arugula salad was awesome! it took us an hour, though, and the dessert wasn’t quite all there yet. from gwyneth’s, i made the pasta sauce from scratch. delicious. too busy getting ready for school to start to cook much right now, though. salads. easy stuff. nice post, janine!

In reply to Melissa {Suger}. You can get quite a collection and then discover you barely use some of them! But at least it's fun flicking through them.

I don’t use cookbooks, but I have what I call the 2/20 rule; I don’t use processed foods, but prep time can’t take more than 20 minutes and or dirty up up more than 2 pans. It takes the stress out of cooking.

You’ve got one heck of a list there! Some I own and love, some I keep meaning to pick up and some that I’m now adding to my list! Thanks so much for sharing. My straining bookshelf though, probably not as grateful. 😉

In reply to TheKidsAreAllRight (@_kidsallright). I know I am continually surprised by how frequently I use Gwenyth's book - teriyaki salmon an the pasta dishes are particular favorites.

In reply to alana. Oh yes that could be another blog post, all the cut out recipes, and also old recipe books from my mum and nana.

Well, I did NOT expect that review of Gwyneth’s cookbook. If you like it, then it must be worth buying. I thought it would be full of quinoa and wheatgrass. My favourites are Stephanie Alexander’s The Cook’s Companion – an absolute bible; The Woman’s Weekly Slow Cooker recipe book; and we’ve cooked a few great meal’s out of Jamie’s 30 Minutes – though I must say they are possibly the most stressful 30 minutes of my life, when you play along at home. And cooking shouldn’t be stressful.
