JUST IN FROM COOK THE BOOKS:
What's Cooking Newsletter – June 2008

Welcome to the latest edition of What's Cooking. The golden days of autumn have given way to the chilly nights (and delights!) of winter. The soup pot needs a dust down and the winter vegetables, preferably homegrown or from a local farmers’ market, are filling the kitchen with warming aromas as they cook.

We are pleased to have Felicity in the store at present while Jonathan is on a month long gourmand’s tour around the south of France and Spain, culminating with dinner at El Bulli (alright for some!!). Please note we will be closed on Sundays throughout the month of June.
