The best smelling food I've ever cooked! - Rated
I bought this book after receiving a Le Creuset tagine for Christmas and wanting to do it justice! It's quite a small book so I wasn't sure how useful it would be at first, but unlike so many recipe books, every recipe is exciting and one you'd want to cook again. You need a certain amount of forward planning both in terms of sourcing all the ingredients and setting aside enough time to slow cook the recipes - but it is well worth it. The aroma of the different spices used in each recipe gradually fill the house as you slow cook the food - making you very ready for dinner when the time comes!

I would highly recommend this book as a good starting point, after making a few recipes you'll have enough ideas and confidence to start inventing your own.

This book made me hungry! - Rated
This is quite a thin book, which obviously limits the number of recipes inside. The ones that are included though look and sound delicious. I have bought this as a gift, but I am seriously hoping that the recipient will cook one of the recipes for me!

The photography is great, with full page colour photos of all the main recipes. There are also recipes for preserving your own lemons and an accompaniments section.
