A great find today from the book stall in Camden Market – The Madhur Jaffrey Cookbook (published 1992) for £6.95 (it was £17 to buy in 1992!) – two-thirds of the book is Eastern Vegetarian Cooking, perfect for me. I’ve always wanted proper Madhur Jaffrey book and you cannot get more proper Madhur Jaffrey than this!
The trouble now is actually using it, unless I’m planning what to cook in the morning so I can call in and buy the ingredients on the way home it may sit there relatively unused. I hope not. It’s pictured here outside of the nice organic deli (‘My Village’) on Chalk Farm Road where we ate spinach tortilla and drank coffee in the sun.
Meanwhile I am still wondering about Italy, we may look at hiring a car for the coastal days so we can travel about a bit (thanks nathaliewithanh for the suggestion, would be great to make it up there).

I think you should host an extravagant Indian dinner party and invite me!

That’s not a bad idea! When I am back from holiday and you can take a day of your Medeteranian Diet!
