I can't resist suggesting Diva Cooking – Victoria Blashford-Snell & Jennifer Joyce. <br /><br />If you'd like to challenge me back my book collection I'd be thrilled (its not as extensive as yours sadly: hubby has had me on a strict no-buying, no-asking-for-as-pressies rule for 5 years now whilst we live in a minute flat): http://bit.ly/p6Fh1wAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8416170281378297037.post-25867987853963954342011-08-23T07:44:52.129-07:002011-08-23T07:44:52.129-07:00Haha thanks Abby!

I have the French Market companion book too - some lovely things in both of them. <br /><br />Happy cooking, whatever you choose.

I had a sneaky suspicion someone would pick Alain Ducasse! Rachel as of now you win for the most intimidating and challenging book choice! That being said I love it!<br /><br />Mike - you got it in one! It really is a UK cookbook library! Although I now live in Canada I only moved here 6 years ago and the lady I inherited most of the books from lived in Scotland as well. I am hoping in time to have more North American authors but for now I'm always drawn to the ones I know and love from home! Elizabeth David is definitely a favourite of mine and i love all of her books! How interesting that you went to cooking school with Richard Corrigan! Great choice!<br /><br />Keep the suggestions coming! : )Lyndseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12797353530520663668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8416170281378297037.post-67111207169563278202011-08-22T13:55:02.933-07:002011-08-22T13:55:02.933-07:00oh Lynds, choose 1?

Believe it or not I went to Cooking School in Dublin with Richard a long time ago.<br /><br />Reading through your list something struck me that I had never thought about before. Your collection is very British and quite different from what you would probably see in an American collection. I grew up on Delia an Jane Grigson but doubt if people here in the US would be familiar with them.
