What do you love?

March 14, 2013 · by munchiesandmunchkins · 2 Comments

It’s a simple question.. What do you love? I don’t mean the obvious family, friends etc. I mean your interests, hobbies or maybe just cake.

For me I love cooking .. and books. I love other things too such as festivals, blogging, music, travelling, films and much more but really if I had to narrow it down to just two it would be cooking and books.

The love of books for me started extremely early. I was nicknamed bookworm ( how cool ) by my family and I was caught reading my ( 10yrs older ) sisters copy of A Colour Purple at the tender age of 8. Oops – I may have got into trouble for that one. I literally would read anything I could get my hands on. These days I’m slightly picker about what I read but my taste is pretty varied and I’ll give most genres a whirl ( aside from extreme horror ) but you know what I read most these days… Cookery books! I don’t just read them for recipes, I read them as I would a normal book and ah I do love finding an old classic in my local charity shop.

My latest find:

10p from my local charity shop and written by the queen of cakes Mary Berry

I do love that this book has written in some of the recipes the sentence If you have a freezer. Ha.

My love of cookery books is starting to take over my tiny kitchen.

My lovely man put a book shelf up to contain some…

And I haven’t even found a place for these ones yet

I *may* also have a few on my Kindle. I want more. It’s an addiction but its not a bad one really. Don’t ask me to choose a favourite as I just couldn’t.

As much as I love the amazing recipe websites that have popped up recently and also I mostly like to make up my own recipes these days I couldn’t give these books away .. Something very special about thinking of the many times a book could have been used to help create that special meal. I heart my books.
