Top Ten Tuesday: Books I have out from the Library right now

 

Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week it is a Halloween freebie but i am not really feeling it as a topic, mainly because we don't really do Halloween. We have some friends who have an annual Halloween dress-up party but that has been cancelled this year.


Instead, I have decided to share the books that I have out from the library at the moment. After we moved house I joined my new local library system so now I have two that I can choose from. The old one isn't so far away that I can't visit it as necessary. Often there are different books available in both systems so it works well for me!

The Happiest Man on Earth by Eddie Jaku - Still need to read this one.

Lonely Planet Italy - Research for our trip which is coming up quickly.

Beatrix Bakes by Natalie Paull - Beatrix Bakes was a cult bakery here in Melbourne. It recently closed down

Meshi: A Personal History of Japanese Food by Katherine Tamiko Arguile - This caught my attention as soon as I saw it.

The Art of Cake by Alice Oehr - This looks like such a fun books

In Bibi's Kitchen by Hawa Hassan and Juliet Turshen - I have actually reviewed this already but I am keeping it  a  bit longersothat we can cook a couple more dishes  out of it.

One More Croissant for the Road by Felicity Cloake - This is another book I am planning to read in anticipation of our trip

With Love from Wish & Co by Minnie Darke - I loved the last book from Minnie Darke

The Hidden Beach by Karen Swan  - I am reading this one at the moment!

The Rearranged Life of Oona Lockhart by Margarita Montifore - I have been looking for this book for ages. It is also published under the title Oona Out of Order.

This doesn't include my digital checkouts, and I just got an email to say I have another book to pick up, so lucky I did this today!

Top Ten Tuesday: Kitchen, Bakes and Cakes - Yum!

 

 

 

Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This 

week the theme is Favourite Words.  I thought that I would tie this theme into the fact that it is National Cookbook Month so I have been focussing on cookbooks during this month as part of Weekend Cooking.  I am therefore choosing words like bake, cake, kitchen and associated words as my words!

I recently joined a Facebook group which is a monthly cookbook group. This month they are cooking from any Australian Women's Weekly cookbooks. These are just two of the AWWC cookbooks I have. I posted about the Birthday Cakes one here.

Nadiya Hussein come to prominence as a result of winning Great British Bake Off and has gone from strength to strenght. I have shared recipes from Nadiya Bakes here and from Bake Australia Great here.

Donna Hay is one of Australia's best known celebrity cooks! I have shared several of her recipes over the years. Marian Keyes is a really well known author. She shared how baking helped her with mental health issues. Here's my review.

I currently have Beatrix Bakes out of the library! 

Moving now to the word kitchen because this is where all the bakes and cakes happen! My review of Kitchen Counter Cooking School can be found here.

I just posted about In Bibi's Kitchen a couple of weeks ago, whereas Bill Granger was one of the earliest cooks that I posted about here on my blog!
