I have so many Christmas cookbooks it isn't funny. I still bring them all out every year and look through them. Then decide to have the same things we have every year as it is tradition.  ;D ;D
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

You can't go wrong with Women's Weekly Cookbooks - rest up and enjoy the books Cookie.

I need another cookbook like a hole in the head but while we have been away, we have eaten at The Cardamom Pod at Byron Bay, it a Hare Krishna restaurant and to quote DH " I didn't expect it to be bad but didn't think it would be this good." The food was excellent. So I couldn't resist this cookbook.
We also ate at Mana Haven, the Adventist café which was a mix of vegetarian and vegan, also really good food.

Michelle,you never know where you find good food these days. :D


some fancy restaurants have crappy food / service
My Thermomix,  Kitchen Aid, Pizza oven, Nu Wave 5 in 1, Spatulas, all brings love, laughter, happiness, and great food  to my kitchen.

Cookbook looks great Cookie; I haven't done much cooking or anything else for that matter, for the last few weeks as I am still coughing.

Glad you are enjoying your holiday Mich and being very disciplined with your vegan diet.

Troupie, my cough hung around for about three weeks after I was over the cold symptoms, I found a spoonful,of Manuka honey was the answer.

Not surprised you like that restaurant my DSand DIL used  to make food for that place as well as another at Brunswick Heads..

That book looks lovely Mich. The Hare Krishna restaurant in Melbourne has always had quite a good reputation but I've never been able to get DH or the kids to eat there - might be time I tried again.

I was thinking of your DS and his family when we ate there Gert - I remember you posting the photo of him when he left the school he was working at and leaving for overseas. How are they going?
Wonder, get the family to have a go, the atmosphere was really good with some live Krishna music, very peaceful.

Another purchase today  :o We are home again and I've come back with a renewed enthusiasm to minimalise. I walked into the store intending to buy a Kindle and spotted an ipad mini at not that much more cost and have left with a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4.  :-))

I have managed to get onto the internet and next I will see if I can take a photo and post it on the forum.  

I'm not a big fan of the cover - it's not a Samsung one but I wanted red, so next I'm off to Helene's site to purchase a Kribit. I need some scrubbies and spatulas for myself and for Xmas gifts.
