Ooh I just downloaded a kindle sample of How to Eat a Peach - think I'm sold alreadyGreat post, Iām looking forward to reading the recommendations.
I have mentioned it before - How To Eat A Peach by Diana Henry is so lovely. Page attached to give a flavour of the writing.
Anna Jonesā books are wonderful reads too - probably A Modern Cookās year is my favourite to read. (But thereās another of hers I prefer for actual cooking - the one arranged by length of time to make each dish).
And a bit left field - Lateral Cooking by Niki Segnet is so interesting. Itās all about how you master one recipe and then expand/flex it to get to something else, and then other directions it can go in. Cooking on a continuum.
And Nigel Slater is always brilliant, the recent Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter ones and Tender vol 1 are the ones I read the most. And everything by Nigella
might have to see if I can hunt down a decent second hand copy
You trolls are all just jealous, sheās been shortlisted for an award. See, she can write!! Nice her Mum has to point out she belongs with her family ...

Diana Henry has an Instagram account that I follow.Ooh I just downloaded a kindle sample of How to Eat a Peach - think I'm sold already
Oh oh oh oh! Yes! Her Flavour Thesaurus is also a wonderful read. Easy to pick up and just read a little bit whenever you have 5 minutes.
Me too. It's a lovely account.
That's so sad.

Just to say, I know the actual peach fuzz hard cover is the ultimate, but the kindle version of How to eat a Peach is only 99p at the moment, for those who are on a budget but still want to be inspired, without having to wank off a pony for their dinner.
Iāve bought it, with the aim of buying the ārealā one when my finances are less tricky...
note, thatās NOT an affiliate link, because Iām not a classless turd even if I do use That Bookshop...
I wonder if the judges have ever tried any of her recipes?????Well, well well what have we here then!
I can't remember who recommended it but I've been listening to The The One Show Show and it is excellent. I am HOOTING despite having never watched the One Show.

Right back at you @Bellybutton lint! Lockdown would have been a lot tougher without this threadI'd like to thank you all for keeping me semi sane over this weird time in our lives. I have happily learned from these threads that all of you are wonderful and very special people. And very, very humourous. Some of us have MH problems, health problems, money problems, but not once has anyone dwelled on it. We have shared, which in itself, as strangers is quite remarkable. We have shared, planting, cooking, baking, cookbooks, shopping tips, podcasts and a plethora of many wonderful things. I appreciate and in my own weird way, love all of you. Thank you all for just being you. xxx
Saffron, pfft, Philistines.

And of course @Flumps deserves a special mention for being a seed pervert like me.
Oh thanks I got a couple of Diana Henry books I donāt have for 99p!
It was me! It's properly laugh out loud funny isn't it? And very naughty.I can't remember who recommended it but I've been listening to The The One Show Show and it is excellent. I am HOOTING despite having never watched the One Show.

If she becomes a mental health ambassador, I will be fuming!! As someone rightly pointed out yesterday (sorry, I have a terrible memory), this is MH awareness week and it would be the perfect time to even pretend she cared about anyone else, but sheās too wrapped up in herself to try. My Grandma always said āthere is always someone worse off than youā and itās a fact. IMO JM doesnāt even know sheās born and the sad fact is, something awful will rock her world at some point and sheāll crumbleThis isnāt surprising given how depressing her Twitter is! I find it interesting that her Twitter header photo is a book endorsement from Matt Haig. Heās well liked, unproblematic (as far as I know) and I have a lot of empathy for his struggles having MH issues myself but heās so depressing. I kind of like him but even when he tries to be positive it feels tinged with sadness, though compared to JM Iād describe him as happy go lucky. I wonder if her next identity is going to be mental health advocate, just like Matt? Or has she already claimed that
But yeah, I agree sheās not helpful to depressed people at all, so this book wonāt be. Her constant woe is me one-upmanship with no light at the end of the tunnel IS depressing. It wouldnāt surprise me if sheās reasoned that some of the greatest (largely fictional) books in history are depressing, so thatās a route to success. Which is ignoring the fact that success comes from them also being thought-provoking and beautifully written. Jackās book will be neither - she has as much depth as a paddling pool and her writing is awkward and bland
Thatās what weāll be asking when we get to Court!!!!
You canāt beat a bit of Bully!!! Decked

Anyone else getting ads for saffron at Ā£23 for 10g? A bargain I'm sure!
The Judge will say to JM āletās have a look at what you couldāve wonā after weāre found not guilty. She probs wonāt get a Bendy Bully though
Hah! I bought my other half an original Bully prize tankard for Christmas the other year. Best eBay find ever. We are mildly obsessed.The Judge will say to JM āletās have a look at what you couldāve wonā after weāre found not guilty. She probs wonāt get a Bendy Bully though
I just picked up a couple too. Treated myself to a proper copy of How to Eat a Peach though, thanks @PineappleQueen19 for the recommendation
Thatās a bobby dazzler of a gift! I have fond memories growing up with Sunday night Bullseye
