Maureen: This is home cooking with Ferran Adia, from El Bulli.
Kirstin: El Bulli without the foams or fancy cooking.
Maureen: Our copy has been signed by the man himself and he says that good food feels the soul.
Kirstin: Maybe your recipes will work better than mine then, having been sanctified by the great man.
Maureen: Andrew likes the pictures.
Kirstin: It’s like a throwback to the seventies. Just look at those colours. Some of the pictures are, I have to say are redundant. But I am not going to go by the pictures alone after the Donna Hay month.
Maureen: Yes, you learned your lesson there, didn’t you?
Kirstin: Hmmmm…..now is there anything you’re looking forward to cooking this month? I’m eyeing up the bolognese as I’m always on the look out for a good pasta recipe.
Maureen: There seem to be a lot of fish recipes which is always good. I think although the name El Bulli is daunting but the recipes themselves look pretty straight forward.
Kirstin: They certainly do. And I like the way he scales the recipes up and down depending on numbers of people. Not that I cook for 75 people every day of the week, but if I did I would make sure to use this book.
Looking forward to March!
