Cook the Books is delighted to be stocking a selection of bread’s from the incomparable Dielh’s in Glenfield. Delivered fresh every Saturday morning are a selection of loaves and rolls – get in early – they sell out!
For more on Diehl’s see Lauraine Jacobs celebrity blog @ www.foodie.co.nz  and while you’re there sign up for the foodie newsletter. One of our favourite’s!


Abla’s Lebanese Kitchen $55
Abla Amad opened her restaurant in Carlton in 1979 and it has become a Melbourne institution.  We are loving her new book – Abla’s Lebanese Kitchen.

Black Dog Cottage $45

Is this our favourite book of the summer? It has to be in the top 5. Written by Wellington Chef Adie McLelland – it draws inspiration from her two favourite places. The Greek island of Hydra and Maungakuri Beach in Hawkes Bay. From the Aegean Lamb to the “Greeky” Aubergine, Coriander & Roasted Walnut Salad, picking a favourite dish is just too hard.

In Memory. Rose Gray

It was with great sadness that we read earlier in the week that Rose Gray, co-founder of the River Café, and co-author of the wonderful River Café Cookbooks had passed away at the age of 71. Her full obituary is available to read at:  http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2010/feb/28/rose-gray-obituary

Tagines – Back in Store (again)! $140

Made by Auckland potter Mike Donaldson, these are not only completely functional – they are works of art. No two are the same, and choosing a favourite is impossible. The first batch sold out before we could write about them, but now we have 8 to chose from.
