Snig's Kitchen: What you've missed on FB

Hello everyone,

Hand pulling noodles from dough

One of the food blogs that I follow is the excellent "101 Cookbooks" by Heidi Swanson. Heidi started her blog when she realised she had too many cookbooks but wasn't actually cooking from them enough. I know the feeling; I'm always tempted to buy more cookbooks when actually I have enough to cook from to feed myself and Him Indoors for several years!

Heidi's blog is a 'recipe journal' and contains great dishes and superb photography. It is definitely work a visit: http://www.101cookbooks.com/index.html

But one thing I particularly like is her monthly 'Favorites List' (it's an American blog before the UK "Spelling Police" get to me, OK?). In these lists, Heidi collects together articles which interested her, film and book recommendations, and of course, recipes.

I've been posting occasional links to things I find interesting on the Snig's Kitchen Facebook page for some time. It's done as and when I find something I like, or when I have time. Find the Facebook page at:

However, perhaps now is a time to collect together these random recommendations so that if anyone has missed something, they don't have to dig through my timeline to find them.

After this post, I will do my best to put together monthly Favourites lists. So, Heidi, thanks for your wonderful blog, and thanks for a very useful idea!

I unapologetically notice that I have posted a LOAD of Chinese recipes here. After my wonderful trip to China, and eating so much great food, what did you expect?
