My suggestion is to just follow my lead and start with these absolutely lovely "Leek and Cheese Toasties" - maybe you even get to use a few slices of one of your wonderful homemade breads for these! Thank you for letting me know that you got a copy of the book - maybe you could share some of your experiences as you cook the recipes?! I would appreciate that!Andrea_TheKitchenLionesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188562947486964076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5171858975021092818.post-8837677152711422352013-12-01T23:54:56.055+01:002013-12-01T23:54:56.055+01:00I didn't have to wait until Christmas, dear An...I didn't have to wait until Christmas, dear Andrea. I've just bought it at Amazon.co.uk for £ 5.00!!! You can imagine how happy I was when I saw the book on their "sales newsletter".<br />So now, if you were me, with which recipe would you start?

I would love to make one or the other recipe with you and post about it - it is a wonderful book and from what I underfstand, the recipes in the American edition bear the same page numbers as the UK edition that I am using. Be that as it may, the title of the recipe should be the same, so the dishes are eaay to find in the book<br />HFW is quite the personality, isn´t he - I love what he does and I love his books - I do really appreciate the fact that these recipes come together in no time and are always so tasty and crowd pleasers at our house.<br />Glad that you like the botanical prints on my pictures - honestly, it takes more time getting them on the pictures than it takes to put a post together - but I love these vintage prints and I so wanted them to be the "hallmark" of my veggies series.Andrea_TheKitchenLionesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188562947486964076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5171858975021092818.post-79455434328809876632013-09-28T05:40:46.113+02:002013-09-28T05:40:46.113+02:00Ok, Ms. Kitchen Lioness, I have just purchased the...Ok, Ms. Kitchen Lioness, I have just purchased the American edition of this cookbook and look forward to reading all your recipes and even making some. Everything I read about this man and his cookbooks is very good. (I had never heard of him.) Your Botanical print on your first picture is gorgeous and I suspect you used masking but I cannot see how you did it. It's just beautiful.

It seems like a lot right now but I am happy to say that I have alreday prepared a good dozen of them this week. You would like this vegetable cookbook - I am sure - the style is "European" and "back-to-basics", meaning that the recpes can certainly be prepared every day, fresh.
