What a lovely sharing cult we belong to  

Hally Valli Little is the food director of Delicious magazine.

I am sure you will know who she is.

I ran this idea past Judy before I put it up. I think it is a great idea, as it may help me to not buy some.   I am really trying to cut back on my cookbook purchases. Believe that if you wish!
I think I may change the title to include all cookbook purchases. Then we can review them if we wish to all the time.

Jeninwa, I'm glad you liked the book too. I have to go into the city on Thursday so if anyone wants one after Jen has been let me know and I will have a look.

My next book to review is Adriano Zumbo's  Zumbarons. I love trying to make macarons, the best recipe I have used so far is Mara's one from Helene's site. This book would only be enjoyed by those who love macarons. It is mainly macarons with just a couple of his other desserts. It is small in size, being only A5. Some of the flavours are interesting. Eg Chocolate Peanut Butter and Jelly. Or perhaps you would rather Fig Burnt Honey and Red Wine. It has 117 pages and as you can see from the photo very brightly coloured.
I have loved reading it and may or may not make a flavour from the book. I think it is around $19.95 at Big W.

I bought this book today. I still haven't reviewed my Christmas books but that is a work in progress. 
This book What's for Dinner by Michele Curtis looks excellent. It seems to cover everything. It's a soft cover book, has 296 pages and photos for each recipe.
It has sections on soups, pasta, rice, stir fries, on the grill, on the stove, in the oven, one pots, salads and desserts. The blurb says it has over 220 recipes with more than 50 variations. There is also an extra section for sides, sauces and dressings.
I haven't made anything from it yet, but will do so in the next menu plan. (Wednesday).
For $10 at the ABC shop I think I have a bargain.

I was very naughty and bought this today Paid more than $10 though
