I
know you'd be disappointed if I didn't invest in a Vanilla
Black cookery
book and so this is what it looks like – complete with tabs to
date!
This
book – unusually – contains “Vanilla Black
recipes adapted for the home kitchen.” Put
another way “...from the people behind Vanilla
Black, but the food is not from the restaurant. Well, not entirely,
anyway.” “...this is a book for home cooks”.
I can see both sides of this coin – i.e. adapting recipes that may
be technically challenging – yep, got it. On the other hand I'd
expected and looked forward to giving the breads a shot and the
butter too.
I must confess to being a smidge disappointed.
However,
Andrew Dargue and Donna Conroy got my attention with “Apologies
in advance, no pasta bake or vegetable curry”.
Hurray and thank you!
There's
nothing wrong with the book at all, in fact there are some points
made in the introduction that made me giggle and cheer. For example,
“...we have a couple of guys washing up
constantly. We are guessing that...you do not have...in your
kitchen”. At
last – somebody out there with some savvy!
The
best comment though, is “you don't have to be
vegetarian. Just try this food … if you want to serve it with a
piece of grilled chicken, be our guest.”
Check out the number of tabs – looks like I'm going to be busy.
