Cookbook Review: Rock Around The Kitchen

Rock Around The Kitchenby Peter Chaplin and Mary Cox
Published by Random House @ 34.95

It’s bold and beautiful with easy to follow instructions and is full of the most luscious, sumptuous photographs that’ll have you drooling in minutes. What’s more it’s kind of a veggie book (does have a fish section) but you won’t need to be vegetarian to enjoy the food that’s dished out in here. We’ve got soups, noodles, salads, flans, fast & furious, simple snacks, bbq summer foods, sweet dreams and nutria-juices. If you’re a bit of a health freak or just want to chow on down … have a gander at the recipes in here and give them a go.
