Cooking - my other passion

Besides from photography, my other great passion is cooking. Inspired by 101 Cookbooks, I am going to start a new project. i will list my cookbooks (there are a lot) and cook my favourite item from each one, and publish photos in conjunction with the project.

So here is the list (in order of the most used):
Leith's Vegetarian Bible
Moosewood Cookbook(currently hard to find)
How to Eat - Nigella Lawson
Appetite - Nigel Slater
Real cooking - Nigel Slater (again!)
The Book of Jewish Food - Claudia Roden
Food Heroes (Books 1&2) - Rick Stein

Lots more to follow!

Rare species - the Routemaster

Hardly ever see these nowadays - the Routemaster bus that Ken has done away with. A very sad day for London that this icon is no longer on the streets.

Also - I shouldn't really admit it but I was a frequent user of the jump-on jump-off from the back of the bus - I used to work just off Oxford Street, and crossing the road at Oxford Circus is a massive pain in the neck. I often used to jump on the bus and then jump off after it had crossed Oxford Circus just to avoid the pedestrian crossings. Not any more - nowadays (if I was lucky enough to live there) I would have to queue at the bus stop - how annoying!
