I had bought some fish (frozen) and mushrooms at the supermarket last week - I don't normally buy either of these ingredients, not because I'm particularly adverse to them, they just seem to fall outside of my "normal". So, out came the Irish Folklore book again, and I found the recipe that had me buying the fish and the mushrooms for. Fish Pie - yes very ordinary! I've made fish pie a few times, but the kids just weren't into it, so I think I just didn't bother again - until now.
I then made another visit to the library and grabbed a few more books. A couple of gluten free ones (I was particularly interested in reading up about Fructose malabsorption, and this author takes that into account in her recipes) as well as a River Cottage one. I've been watching the current River Cottage series on TV and really enjoying it - I even have a batch of ginger beer on the go at the moment.

I love the River Cottage books - although thinking about it, I haven't actually cooked a huge amount of recipes from them (apart from preserves). I tend to just get lost in the descriptions and end up using them for inspiration. Have you read the River Cottage Family Cookbook? Really like that one.
I haven't read any of the River cottage books before, but will be checking them out from the library if they have them. I do like the look of Every Day as per the current series though.
