This cookbook is AMAZING! I don't know the celebrity chef on the cover, but her cooking style is right in line with mine (local, seasonal, organic) and there are a bazillion recipes that look so delicious and I can't wait to try them all. The book is of excellent quality, there are HUGE pictures for just about everything cooked, and wonderfully thought-out pre-selected menus. The table of contents is broken down in to several great sections:

From the Oven - From sticky buns to sausage rolls, useful breads, crunchy crispbreads and gorgeous tarts and pies.

From the Garden - Seasonal salads and sides, flavoursome tomato salsas and sauces, and some fabulous vegetarian fare.

From the Farm - Marvellous ribs and marinades, spicy curries (I love curries!), quick pan-fries and comforting bakes and roasts.

From Lake and Sea - Home-smoked salmon, tender fritters, crispy squid, barbecued whole fish and fragrant seafood soup.

From the Larder - Make your own cheese and ice-creamm light-as-air choux pastries and wicked chocolate treats. *From the Orchard - From old-fashioned crumble to melt-in-the-mouth panna cotta, roasted pears and silky lemon cream.

I just got a new food scale too, so the metric measurements used in the book are no problem for me. I love it! Thank you so much!
