Favorite cookbooks

Hello there... My favourtie cookery writer is Nigel Slater. He writes in such a loving descriptive way that I tend to read his recipe books like novels. And it's pared back basic stuff, with the focus on good ingredients. His end chapter in "Appetite" about him washing up at the end of the day is a joy to read.

Justapinch.com is another good one. What I like about these web pages is that the recipes are submitted by people from their home experience. Also, reading the ratings submitted on a recipe gives a broader spectrum of how to.

Thanks! If I succeed I will post about it. (I actually haven't gotten around to doing it yet; I've been distracted by 20 other things. As per usual.)
