Someone from the old bucket very kindly sent me an American cookbook. I love it and flick through it often. The terms and ingredients are so very different from every day British cooking, so I find it absolutely fascinating.

A couple weeks ago anxiousmom asked me in a thread how I got interested in cooking. I was trying to up my post count so I went into a long winded explanation in several posts. ScrapsontheRocks read it all and sent me a pm and told me she'd like to send me a cookbook from where she lives in South Africa! I got it yesterday and I spent much of my free time googling to find equivilents for ingredients. I ended up reading it last night like a novel! I know, I'm weird that way but how fun to see what other cultures eat! This was such a fun, wonderful gift  ScrapsontheRocks is a sweetheart! Thank you so much! that was a lovely thing to do akathy I'm so pleased you loved your gift |
