Book swap

[igenlode]

Having run out of space on my kitchen 'bookshelf' (actually a large cardboard box wedged sideways on top of the fridge/freezer) when I acquired Rose Eliot's "Cheap and Easy", I decided to retire Jane Grigson on Fish Cookery (realistically, I'm probably never going to buy fresh fish again, as it costs an arm and a leg and I don't especially like it, let alone need a book of 'what to do with the unusual variety the fishmonger sold me this week' any longer) in favour of a slightly soiled copy of the Daily Telegraph's seasonal It's Raining Plums, which looks more useful. (I have a five-pound marrow reposing on top of my LP shelves at this very moment, for example, and the book has a section of marrow recipes...)
