Toomanyshoes - how good is that Crapapple cupcake book! If you haven't tried the lumberjack ones, I can highly recommend them, esp with cream cheese icing.

Like lots of other people have said already, I love Jamie Oliver books, I've never had a failure with any of his recipes.
And I also love Nigella recipes - probably use her more for cakes and sweets than anything else, but again, never had a failure.

And I also like Karen Martini recipes - I think she's a bit off putting to watch on TV, but again, her recipes fall into my "never fail" category.

And Stephanie is a given...and Delicious is definitely my favourite foodie mag.

So nothing new from me - just more endorsement of what everyone else has said
