Edinburgh Foody reads – often about food, both how to cook it and how to think about it.

Farmacy Kitchen Cookbook by Camilla Fayed

Maureen Clark February 7, 2020 February 6, 2020

Farmacy Kitchen Cookbook was a Christmas gift from a member of my family. The book is from the founder of London’s Farmacy restaurant. It is a well-presented book with beautiful photography and very inspirational recipes (all plant-based.)

The Food of Sichuan by Fuchsia Dunlop

Caroline von Schmalensee January 17, 2020 January 16, 2020
The Christmas gift that keeps on giving (even if this is the page I keep returning to).

For Christmas I got the latest edition the The Food of Sichuan by Fuchsia Dunlop. I was immediately excited: we have a lot of cookbooks but none on Chinese cookery. Here was a beautiful volume on a specific region. I could hardly wait to finish the Christmas foods so I…

The Scottish Vegan Cookbook by Jackie Jones

Caroline von Schmalensee September 27, 2019 September 27, 2019
Chestnut and chocolate tart. Oh yes, baby!

I was excited about The Scottish Vegan Cookbook and sad that I had to miss the launch at Stockbridge Library. So I got the book, selected a number of recipes to cook and had at it. This is what I made and what I thought.

How many writers or authors do you know who have penned over 40 books yet still remain under the radar?  Not many, I’m hear you reply. But Ghillie Basan is just one such author and I want to shout loud that it’s time we all got to know this very…

Cooking on a Bootstrap – a gift I kept myself (but will give again)

Caroline von Schmalensee October 16, 2018 October 16, 2018
Chickpea salad with nutburger. Tastes much better than it looks since I over-browned (no, didn't burn it. Didn't) the burger a little.

I picked up Jack Monroe’s Cooking on a Bootstrap when I was out hunting for chocolate. I meant to give it to a niece who recently started university: it seemed a perfect fit for a cash-strapped young person in charge of their own diet for the first time. But I…

The Seaweed Cookbook – superfood recipes from the sea by Xa Milne

Caroline von Schmalensee March 9, 2018 March 19, 2018
Basic pasta sauce: flavoursome, easy and full of umami.

Seaweed is a bit of a favourite ingredient of mine. I enjoy cooking with it and I enjoy the various things seaweed does for us. So when I was given a chance to review The Seaweed Cookbook by Xa Milne, I jumped at the chance. A whole book dedicated to…

Cooking with Ghillie Basan, the Original Spice Girl – Far from the Madding Crowd

Kerry Teakle June 30, 2017 July 5, 2017
Pears in saffron and cinnamon syrup

Finances have prevented me from going on holiday this year yet I’ve been hankering after the sun, sea and flavours of one of my favorite travel destinations, Turkey. Sadly it’s not going to happen but an invitation to escape to the wilds of the Highlands to learn to cook with…

Sri Lanka: the Cookbook – warmth and coconut spice

Caroline von Schmalensee May 19, 2017 May 19, 2017
Coconut heavy with vegetables and rice. Making the everyday sing.

These days, I do most of my travel through books; cookery books in particular. A month ago I was asked if I wanted to review Sri Lanka: the Cookbook by Prakash K Siranathan and Nirajala M Ellawala. I did! I know very little about Sri Lanka and was curious to…
