1.		Week in Week Out from Quadrille Publishing Ltd Price: £13.00 Customer Review: I too, was misled by the title into thinking this would be everyday recipes, arranged by the seasons, but it turns out that 'Week in, week out' refers not to the cooking but to the writing of his weekly column in the Independent. Although there are 52 columns there are no headings and no very... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

2.		Toast: The Story of a Boy's Hunger from HarperPerennial Price: £4.35 Customer Review: Writing your autography in terms of the food you ate is a neat idea, and it was great to read about so many different types of food I remmeber from my youth. The book is a little inconsistent though: in the middle section the food takes a back seat to the goings on in his family life. Also, the book... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

3.		Sausage in a Basket: The Great British Book of How Not to Eat from Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Price: £7.14 Customer Review: I bought this book because of the Amazon rave reviews I read - silly me - now I'm guessing they were all written by the author's mates! The book is just one big moan. I would give it no stars if I could.	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

4.		Real Fast Food from Penguin Books Ltd Price: £6.74 Customer Review: The title says a lot really, there are some nice ideas in this book but they arn't very original (beef burgers arn't original, but nice to have some advice on them). I havn't tried many recipes yet but neither was hardly impressive (to me, hot choc made of 70% cocoa just tastes a bit bland, dark... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

5.		Moro East from Ebury Press Price: £14.95 Customer Review: Famous for Spanish- and North African-style food, the couple have gone East - literally and metaphorically. A few years ago they `acquired' an allotment in London's East End and found, amongst fellow growers, Turks, Greeks and Cypriots. The two Sams swiftly became part of the allotment community... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

6.		Taste: The Story of Britain Through Its Cooking from Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Price: £13.99 Customer Review: With its fine illustrations, this volume promises much food for thought, but lacks enough clear historical analysis to add much to the existing literature. You'd be better off buying Reay Tannahill's History of Food.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

7.		Beyond Nose to Tail: A Kind of British Cooking: Part II from Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Price: £11.69 Customer Review: This shouldn't really be bought as a stand-alone recipe book. The purpose of 'Beyond Nose to Tail' is really as a complementary volume to the original book. Taken on its own, it is a bit unbalanced and incomplete (hence the 4 stars, rather than 5). Considering both books as a single entity... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

8.		1080 Recipes from Phaidon Press Ltd Price: £15.99 Customer Review: I bought this book after reading a review in one of the Sunday papers. It is a gem. It presents the authentic face of modern Spanish cooking and it's influences, as well as a comprehensive selection of older classics. In addition, in this English edition, it takes time to explain terms and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

9.		Piri Piri Starfish: Portugal Found from Murdoch Books Price: £11.25 Customer Review: I write as a cook who enjoys actually reading cookery books, not just cooking from them. In comparision with Tessa's other books this one has turned out to be less enjoyable. The publishers should take note: The simple fact that the ingredients are not arranged vertically makes it more... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

10.		The New English Table: Over 200 Recipes That Will Not Cost The Earth from Fourth Estate Price: £16.25 Customer Review: I think Rose Prince is a great consumer journalist, but I'm afraid I found this book disappointing. No matter how worthy the message, if it doesn't inspire, I think the message is lost...and this book really doesn't inspire me, at all.	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
