Cookery Book Shelf

These are some of the cookery books we have reviewed recently.

'A New Way To Cook'
by Sally Schneider

American cook and cookery writer Sally Schneider has spent a decade on this impressive and mature book, teasing out ways in which to redefine healthy eating, and to allow people to have access to great flavour without worrying about salt and fat. She is modest, good company at your chopping arm, a mature and wise voice whose food intrigues.

'Ballymaloe Cookery Course'
by Darina Allen

Darina Allen's 640-page "Ballymaloe Cookery Course" is a culinary textbook with soul. Amid its practical, down-to-earth information on everything from boning a fowl to making soft yogurt cheese, choosing wines and sourcing game, the inimitable Ballymaloe ethic jumps forth: Choose fresh, local, seasonal ingredients whenever possible and treat them with respect and simplicity. This book will be a great addition to any cook's library.

'Loving and Cooking with Reckless Abandon'
by Kevin Gould

Our friend Kevin Gould is one of those lucky folk who has managed, throughout a quietly determined food writing career, to make himself a cult figure in the food scribbling world: Jemima Khan has called Kevin a "food genius", and his cookery is always very provocative. None more so than the recipes collected, photographed and designed by Kevin in "Loving and Cooking… with Reckless Abandon" (a quote from the Dalai Lama, believe it or not!), Kevin's new book is published this month.
