Some great looking new cookbooks!

Recently published is a beautiful looking book, The Country Cooking of France by Ann Willian. I have her scrumptious cookbook, From My Chateau Kitchen and expect that The Country Cooking of France is just as wonderful.




A new release in the UK is Jamie Oliver's Jamie at Home: Cook Your Way to the Good Life.

So Jamie At Home is all about getting down and dirty with nature, growing and cooking your very own produce ­ whether from your garden, allotment or window box. It's easier than you might think and fantastically rewarding if you get it right.

A contemporary cake designer and best selling cookbook author, Lindy Smith, has a new book out, Cakes to Inspire and Desire. Her other titles include Celebrate With A Cake and Party Animal Cakes.

This clever book looks at the shapes of cakes, showing how a simple square or round design can be the basis of a truly beautiful creation. Clear colour photographs and detailed step-by-step display a variety of traditional and contemporary techniques from florals to stripes and cake jewellery.

Rick Stein's latest, Mediterranean Escapes, was released in early August. His cookbooks and recipes show a commitment to the quality of food, are beautifully photographed and full of humorous anecdotes.
