HAMLYN NEW ALL COLOR COOKBOOK - COOKBOOK REVIEW

hamlyn-new-all-color-cook-book-nairobi-kitchen-cookbook-review-front-cover

Hey Lovelies,
So today I am doing a Recipe Book Review from this book that we have had it in our family for ages. The edges are a bit tattered so you can imagine I have been using it for a while. Most of the recipes I have cooked are desserts, bread and simple salads. I am yet to try out most of the recipes which are just awesome. My favorite from this Recipe Book is Rock Cakes. Recipes in this Cookbook are simple to follow with clear instructions of the recipes. There are plenty of footnotes at the bottom of each recipe to explain some of the procedures and give tips on the best way to get the most out of the recipes. Some tips also describe the techniques used, there is also calorie count for those who are concerned with healthy eating, the book includes vegetarian meals to cater for vegans. I'll be posting some of the recipes from Hamlyn New All Color Cookbook.The Content of the recipe book includes; Soups, Starters and Snacks, Fish Dishes, Casseroles and Stews, Roasts and Grills, Vegetables and Salads, Vegetarian Recipes, Rice and Pasta, Pies Flans and Pasties, Hot Puddings, Cool Desserts, Breads and Scones, Family Cakes and Biscuits and finally Fancy Cakes. Here's what the author had to say about the Book.
The Hamlyn New All Color Cookbook is a must for those starting to cook basic dishes as well as for experienced cooks who wish to enlarge their repertoire of dishes for family meals, dinner parties and other special occasions. Every recipe is illustrated by a color photograph so that you can see just what the finished dish should look like as you are following the recipe. Attractive presentation of food greatly increases the pleasure of a meal, so the opportunity to check on the garnish and appearance of the dish provided by the photograph is invaluable.

WELCOME TO NAIROBI KITCHEN + WATERMELON LOOKALIKE BREAD

hELLO fOoD NeRdS!
Welcome to my li'l kitchen where I have fun preparing food from home. Nothing says welcome than a hot homemade food prepared with lotsa love and care. Nothing makes me happier than preparing a meal where I can share with friends and family. I love when I can make something out of crazy, simple and even seemingly complicated ingredients. Cooking is kind of like my therapy, it gets me excited and looking forward to doing something different and special each day. So welcome to my nerdy food kitchen and lets enjoy cooking and discovering together. Growing up I always loved watching mom cook. Food just fascinated me and I loved the way ingredients were combined to bring something delicious. I couldn't wait to grow up and also cook since the kitchen was out of bounds for my little hands. I guess I was the kid who didn't mind being sent for errands for foodstuff if it meant that I would stay in the kitchen as mom or anyone else was cooking. As I got older cooking just made sense and it came so easy for me. I hoped for the day I would have my own kitchen where I could experiment with recipes. Still waiting for my own kitchen but I'm glad I am old enough to be left in the kitchen alone ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜†. Cooking is just amazing! So welcome to this little "kitchen" space of mine and let us discover food, recipes and more! Be a Kitchen Nerd with me๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜™๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ˜œ.
