I bought this book for my parents a year ago and they've made quite a few recipes from it. However, one standout, and I can't remember the name, is a chicken roasted with raz al hanout and lemons. It's, well... marvelous, and the raz al hanout actually becomes a fairly versatile spice mixture, perfect for blackening catfish, dusting potatoes, and just about anywhere that a little red kick is required. I actually keep a fairly large bottle of it mixed up in the cupboard now, ready to make anything a little bit more Middle Eastern at a moment's notice.

I live in Charleston, SC and just recently started a cooking blog of my own, just for fun. I am SO impressed with your photography and your web-design/layout. Any pointers as to how I could create a more "professional" looking site?? I'm on blogger.com currently... Thanks and happy baking! Maggie L Linda,

At one stage I did not own a book that I had not cooked from - but (I am ashamed to say) at the moment I have a number that I read often but have not tried out a single recipe yet - mainly because the kitchen in my tiny 'new' (older than 80 years) house has not been 'just right' for my type of cooking. Getting there slowly so I will catch up, I hope. My current passion - fruit sorbets - new ice cream machine and summer coming up in South Africa!! Keep up the good work with your blog. Hi Linda

I am so glad to find that there are other people with the same ‘cookbook problem’ – I have a collection of more than a 1000 books and still find that the cookbook section of shops (both new and second hand) are the ones that I cannot pass by … to say nothing of book stalls at markets… and I go nuts when I hear somebody is ‘giving away’ their cookbooks because they are ‘down sizing’ – gimme gimme gimme.

I love baking and also have a rather embarrassing collection of recipe books, some of which I have never used. Your blog is fantastic, as an Aussie living overseas I also love reading your stories about Melbourne, my favourite city in Australia (despite being a Brissie girl!). Your recipes and pictures are great. I can't wait to try some of them...thanks!!! Natalie Hi Linda,

I just made her Sherry Olive Oil Poundcake for a dinner party, and no one has been able to stop talking about it since.
