So maybe I’m not the right person to review cookbooks. I love cookbooks. Almost all of them. Even the ones I’ve never cooked from. I just adore the promise of a more fulfilling life through a larger repertoire of recipes. So being all hard on a cookbook and critical, well, I don’t think I can do it to be honest. I will try though. Here goes.
Well, Aggie’s Family Cookbook has set a new record. I received it about a week ago from the lovely people at Anova Books (ta muchly) and there’s currently a banana loaf in the oven, making my house smell like an estate agent’s dream. What else can I tell you about this book? Well if you’re not into the Scottish accent then don’t buy it, as I swear Aggie herself read this to me in bed; so strong is her voice throughout this collection of family recipes. I liked her tone very much; working Mum feeds her family with a good dose of Good Housekeeping Institute common sense thrown in.
Would I buy it? Yes. Would I buy it as a gift? Yes. For Mums and also for folks on the brink of leaving home. Does it make me feel all sexy and Nigella-esque? No. But it does make my house smell mighty fine.
If you would like to win £20 worth of recipes and good sense then you can!
