Cook Books,

Just been listening to the radio, and they were discussing a new cookbook by Gordon Ramsay. How many more cookbooks can the nation stand I wonder? Apparently this one has gone back to basics, and the woman was saying there is a picture of Gordon on every page! That would put me off I'm afraid, not a Gordon fan at all. much prefer Delia.
Nigella Lawson is all over everywhere at the moment, she has a new book out too. How she stays as lovely as she is I don't know.. Her husband has been on a diet recently, and lost four stones, looks really thin now. His diet is NINE eggs a day!!!! wouldn't fancy that at all.Can't be good for the Cholesterol.
Since the weather was very iffy this morning, dull and rainyish we decided to go into Crosby Sainsbury's to get a few veggies. We got a half hour parking ticket, and just about got out in time. Bought a Butternut Squash because we had seen a nice recipe for Butternut Squash and Sage risotto, but they didn't have any fresh sage, so we got some dried. hope it works out. not making it tonight though, it is more of a mid week dish. Maybe Wednesday. No particular offers,did get some ordinary veggies and a bag of Spinach, I can always use that in something. Saw a beautiful recipe in one of my favourite Cooking Blog sites..101 Cookbooks, and would like to try it.

It is a lovely looking Quinoa salad and I have often wanted to make that sort of dish. She is a really talented cook who uses mainly vegetarian or vegan dishes, but they are so good looking, very tempting.
Tonight we are having:
Quorn Escallopes, of some sort,
Little potatoes squashed,
Vegetables, Carrots and Green beans,
Mushroom sauce.
