olivers, etc.

Before our trip I finished this book:
This was a light, fun read--obviously not Faulkner by any means but I enjoyed it. Jools Oliver (wife to the famous chef, Jamie) detailed in journal style her back to back pregnancies and family life (her girls were born only a year apart!).

After finishing it, I now have my eye on Jamie's latest:
This is a gigantic guide full of interesting recipes and colorful pages. I've always liked the way his cookbooks are put together. The paper he's chosen in recent books has been thick & lovely with matte finish (of which I'm a sucker for). This one will be put on the Labor Day/birthday/Halloween/Thanksgiving/Christmas list for sure.

I have that book. My dad and step mum got it for christmas 2 years back.

It's good. There's a really nice red onion gratin recipe.
