Cookbook Review: British Baking by Peyton and Byrne

July 16, 2011 – 11:14 pm

My rating: 3 1/2 stars

5 for style, 3 for substance – the recipes did not taste great.

This book is like David Beckham – sexy as all hell – but such a shame he has to talk…

It is easily the most beautiful cookbook I have ever seen.

It IS the new Britannia (circa Tony Blair / pre- GFC) – cool, whimsical, Kate Moss meets Coldplay, “keep calm carry on” …

Alas, when it comes to communicating, something goes slightly out of kilter.

Cookbook Review: Marion – Recipes and Stories from a Hungry Cook by Marion Grasby

July 10, 2011 – 5:50 pm

My rating 4 stars

4 for styling/3.5 for content

I absolutely loved Marion on the Masterchef series and dreamed of being her best friend forever!!

Obviously I desperately wanted to love her new book. Alas, it was not meant to be… does this make me a frenemy?
