Yes, I know, I'm supposed to be saving money, but I'm allowed the odd splurge. Plus it was half price, and I had a quid off voucher too. So all in all I reckon I wasn't so very bad ... I bought another book. This one is 'Crumb' by Ruby Tandoh. It's a very tactile book, very good looking, the kind you can lounge on the sofa with, flicking through recipes, dreaming of creations that - one day - you might get around to making. When I've got the ingredients in the cupboard. When I've got an oven that has more than two temperature settings (low or high. It's a very old oven. I think Mrs Noah might've used it in years gone by.)
'Crumb' isn't going to be a volume I'll bake my way through. It won't be as practical as something like Jack Monroe's budget-conscious recipe book, but Ruby's book is a treat and I'm glad I got it.
