Better late than never...

I bought the second River Cafe cookbook today (I was a little slow on the uptake I admit!). It's full of wonderful pasta dishes, more inspired ideas for flavour combinations than recipes that need to be followed to the letter. It's perfect for when you're stuck in a food rut and need someone or something to spur you on to new things!

It's chock-a-block with mouthwatering photography and the recipes are easy to follow. The ingredients are generally pretty easy to get hold of - though I won't be trying the Tagliatelle with White Truffles quite yet... There are loads of great veggie options in here too, I'm looking forward to trying some of them soon!
