I have Jamie O's Ministry of Food book too, love it. Does anyone have his new one, 30 minute meals? I had a flick through it before Christmas but it didn't really appeal to me..I just don't think I like the layout of it (i.e. here is a 3 or 4 course meal with all the recipes for it on 2 pages..), just seemed a bit confusing and messy.

I also have the AWW (gosh don't they rock!!) 1000 recipes book which is quite good. Mostly use it for cakes/slices etc.
Netix- I think Cook (yep it is the red one) is the one I use the least out of the three in the series. Kitchen has a great recipe for sweet & sour pork and shepherd's/cottage pie which I use all the time. Bake is of course great for the sweet treats. I think Cook would be alright for beginning cooks/uni students for basic recipes.

I have a ton of cooking magazines too, mostly Super Food Ideas and one other I can't remember the name. I'm a sucker for magazines..then when I get home find there are only 2 or 3 recipes that I would actually ever make! Need to cut out the ones that interest me and chuck out the rest I think. For those that cut recipes from magazines, what do you do with the rest of the magazine? Just throw it in the recycling or file it away somewhere?
I have two large notebooks, one for mains/savoury meals and one for desserts/baking etc. Have written and typed out/printed recipes in them. Really need to do a cull though, most of the recipes I've put in there I haven't made and probably never will.
