.. and the squeaky voice and his inability to make "proper" mashed potato (or pomme puree) on Hell's Kitchen, much to the annoyance of the culinary God that is Marco Pierre White. I sweat that at one stage he sweated into the pot.

What does MPW know about cooking anything properly? I bet he's never eaten a Pukka pie in his life.

The ABC of AWT. I dip into that book more than all the rest put together. Typically to remind myself how to prepare weird veg or how long for a soft boiled egg. It is my luddite version of culinary Google.

Since we're here - most used are probably EAT by Slater and the two 'Everyday' books by HF-W.

Our most used is Big Table, Busy Kitchen by Allegra McEvedy. Mrs D uses it to flatten down cheques she is trying to scan in on her iPad

When we had our kitchen done 3 years ago, we had to clear the dining room. Culled literally hundreds of cook books, Shared them out equally among the local charity shops. Still regret a few of the choices we made. I tend to cook freestyle rather than follow a specific recipe. But there are a few that I go to regularly. One particularly "splattered" page is from one of Rick Stein's early books. (yes I've got every single one, about a third of which are signed). It is Hake with chorizo and potatoes (Merluza à la Gallega) bbc.co.uk |

I’m home now so can check - we still have Taste of the sea and Seafood Odyssey. This is one fewer than I thought we had.
