Along with chocolate. <br /><br />ELTW, I think Nigel's not so well known over there because he doesn't translate his measurements. Other than that I can't imagine why everyone over there isn't in love with him too.

Very interesting!<br /><br />I think my current favourite cookbooks are the ones from BBC Good Food, and also the Donna Hay magazine. I know the magazine doesn't really count as a cookbook, but the photos are too amazing toSu-yin @ Bread et Butterhttp://breadetbutter.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1601215681017407756.post-912795917481356912009-09-02T12:43:58.425+02:002009-09-02T12:43:58.425+02:00I love Nigel too though he doesn't seem to be ...I love Nigel too though he doesn't seem to be so well known over this side of the pond - more's the pity.<br /><br />I loved the Kitchen Diaries too but also really enjoyed the autobiography "Toast".<br /><br />Nice post Kate!Mardi Michelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04125377934755716212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1601215681017407756.post-12599660207589666152009-09-01T21:30:03.768+02:002009-09-01T21:30:03.768+02:00The lemon cake looks so yummie, love all the lemon...The lemon cake looks so yummie, love all the lemony stuff.Julianahttp://simplerecipes.menoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1601215681017407756.post-74684691247718473712009-09-01T16:59:42.432+02:002009-09-01T16:59:42.432+02:00Thanks for the kind words and the cookbook recomme...Thanks for the kind words and the cookbook recommendations! I don't know the Williams-Sonoma one, I'm afraid. We don't have WS in Belgium (more's the pity..) But we DO have Amazon! <br /><br />This cake is very moist and has a crumb a little coarser than pound cake. It's the kind of cake that you can pick up easily with the back of a fork.
