i do not own Claudia Roden cookbook .. yet. but I cut magazine clippings of some of her articles and recipes. Well am building up my cookbook library now since its been split …
hopefully with my time here in the USA I will have time to check what the bookstore has to offer here.

I did not have time to visit Petersham when I was in London early this month but I also have few of Gyngell recipes.

Hey joey, care to post that chickpea salad recipe? Is it middle eastern/indian style?

I have been wanting to get Arabesque for a while…love Middle Eastern food :) But not knowledgeable enough to write the book review either! Heehee :) So you cook, and I’ll cook, then we can compare notes :)

I found a recipe in Vogue Travel + Living from Claudia Roden for a chickpea salad which has become one of my go-to salads and always earns raves…I gotta buy that book!

I am younger than MM but I DO know Lilian Laing. She is this big lady who usually plays this somewhat masungit/suplada role of being a wealthy but matapobre dona. I know this because i love Pinoy vintage (read: black and white) movies. I am envious of your last 2 books, MM. I am a wine idiot and stick to what i know and the “Year in My Kitchen” sounds just fabulous.

Amor: if you want parking that isn’t a mile away go VERY EARLY (7-7:30) and have the pick of the produce. Have breakfast there. OR go very late (around 1) then you get bargains because it is closing time and the sellers want to sell their stuff, but then you get the “leftovers” which is still good.

Amor, from Makati Avenue going towards Buendia and just after passing Atrium, turn left onto Paseo de Roxas then turn right at Citibank and go two streets and turn left and drive 50 meters, you will see the smoke from the barbecue vendor… happy marketing! CecileJ, I have NO IDEA who Lillian Laing is…:) Hahaha. Does that mean I am still a spring chicken compared to some readers???

Haha, Apicio! You think others still remember/know Lilian Laing? (MM, do you?) Is she telling the truth or is Lilian Laing? Hehehe…Happy long weekend, Philippine-based marketmaniacs. Vote well and wisely.
