Green & Blacks Chocolate Recipe book ...

[Millie1]

Does anyone have it - is it worth getting? Am going to treat myself to a new book but can't decide between that one, the Soup Kitchen or Hugh Fearnley-what's-his-name's Family Dinners. Hoping wise Mumsnetters will point me in the right direction .

out of those 3 id go for hugh fernly wittingstall family dinners!

Yes, I've got the Green and Blacks chocolate recipe book and there are some lovely recipes in there, particularly if you like chocolate cakes that are not too sweet. I haven't seen the other two books, but I'd probably base my choice on which recipe area (chocolate, soups, family dinners) I most needed new inspiration with. (Talking of Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, I nearly bought the River Cottage book as a going to college present for DH's nephew - the bit about keeping your own pig seemed ideally suited to a student room!)

ive got the river cottage book, and yes it has some lovely recipes in, but it also has lots of dust. i found the recipes have loads of ingredents in that you either dont have as rule or is really hard to get in shopd. iykwim.
i would go with the chocolate one.....mmmm chocolate

Mixed reviews for the River Cottage book then. Hmmm ... back to Amazon for another look!
