Cookbooks & Knitting
If you have an interest in what you're eating, and how it affects you, then this is the book you must read. Forget the fad diets and the various "refined ingredient free" diets - Nourishing Traditions is the only book on nutrition that is worth reading. You'll be shocked by what the food industries do, and what we consume as food that really shouldn't go anywhere near our mouths. This is the practical guide to eating proper, wholesome food, and will inspire you to cut modern processed foods out of your diet completely. It includes a comprehensive recipes section to put your new found knowledge into practice.
My Petite Kitchen by Eleanor Ozich
This book is a true delight and seems to be one I am always reaching for! My Petite Kitchen covers everything from breakfast, main meals, drinks, desserts and snacks. Written for the cook using non-refined ingredients it's a great addition to any kitchen. It is one of those rare cookbooks that I feel I could happily bake my way from cover to cover.
My Family Table is Eleanor's second book published in October 2015. Equally as delightful, I can't recommend them highly enough!
The River Cottage Australia Cookbook by Paul West
An absolute visual delight as well as being a practical cookbook filled with delicious recipes - this is my new favourite book! Aside from the recipes, it's such an inspiring book that makes me feel that any little step towards growing, producing or baking even a morsel of food is such an achievement. The thing I love about this book is it's broad range of vegetable and salad dishes, and that it has a whole section filled with dairy and seafood, along with meat, bread and sweets. If you love the River Cottage TV series or wholesome, delicious everyday food this book is a must in your library!
