I made twice the recipe, 4 cookies, for 2 people. I used chopped up 85% chocolate, not chips.

Question: are these cookies good enough to forget that this is a Nigella recipe?

Any recommendations for general bread making books (hand not machine)?
I make bread all the time and have done for years but I don’t follow any particular recipe etc i just make it up, have developed a feeling for what and how to do things - they don’t always work by any means but it’s how i go about it.
Anyway, my daughter’s boyfriend loves having fresh bread here, and over the last few months has actually attempted to make a few loaves himself at home with great results. When he was here the other day they commented that he needs a ‘proper bread knife though!’ As trying to cut with chopping knife wasn’t good. I joked that i’d get him one for his birthday (in a couple of weeks) and he thought that was actually a great idea, and a bread recipe book as well - so that he can try something beyond a bog standard white tin loaf.
So any favourites? Regular yeasted breads for the most part as i don’t think they’ll realistically go into sourdough starters etc Variety of styles.

Dan Lepard Handmade Loaf? The River Cottage handbook? I have a couple of Linda Collister's books which were OK when I was getting interested. Andrew Whitley's Bread Matters is good, but aims to get you making sourdough eventually, and is maybe a bit political.

Brilliant Bread by James Morton has a good mix of recipes, and the ones I've tried so far have been great, the intro and general text alongside is quite lighthearted too. It's a good one for beginners and also gives you room to progress as you get more skilled

No idea where she got the idea (or recipe) for this, but Mini Nico has made Confit Garlic Focaccia
