too many to list lol I'm a bit of a cook book junky!

I really love the aus women's weekly "cook" - I think it would be a very good present for someone moving out of home or someone wanted to learn to cook. Its not as over whelming as some of the other big cook books are. Has great pages that explain all different types of noodles and how you would use them, as well as many old and new recipes. its also one of the ones to just have on hand to look up things like nan/mum use to make, IYKWIM?

The crabapple bakery cupcake cookbook is to die for! Super yummy things in there! I used the white chocolate mud cake recipe for my sister in laws engagement cake and 5kg of lindt couverture (cake + filling + icing) oh my! there was not a single crumb left!

Vogue's entertaining + travel latest seasonal kitchen was great also. Some really yummy 'out of the box' things in there!

if your a sucker for a dinner party colin cowie's dinner after dark is lovely! even if just for the BEAUTIFUL pics! but there are also some really lovely recipes and a few things I wouldn't try but over all a lovely book. (he's also got a wedding one which has amazing photos as well!)

thats all I can really think of atm
