Expert tasting notes as well as full colour photography, introduce each variety. Other material explains cheese manufacture and introduces specialist cheese sellers. From Lincolnshire Poacher to Stinking Bisop's, they are all in this tremendous work by food writer Jenny Linford.     top THE GREAT WINE SWINDLE by Malcolm Gluck published by Gibson Square on 3 November 2008 Price £14.99 hardback ISBN-10: 190614222X Malcolm Gluck, author of Superplonk, aims at those that refuse to be intimidated by name dropping, vintages or snobbery in their wine choice. In this explosive, very readable book he exposes the tricks the wine trade uses to cash in on the gullibility and timidity of the public and the fear of some wine experts to speak about consumer abuse in the industry. Gluck accuses supermarkets of labelling and promotional deceptions and wine merchants of hoodwinking consumers with undisclosed chemical additives. He cheers boxed wine, pours scorn on absurd advertising campaigns and questions the sanity of those encouraging high alcohols in wine. Even champagne come in for some Gluck-bashing and wine fans at all levels should find this work entertaining and informative. top CLEVER COOKING FOR ONE OR TWO part of the Diary Cookbook series edited by Emma Callery ISBN 978-0-9554232-4-6 In this day and age of financial hardships this is the perfect book to encourage those living alone or just as a couple to produce some really tasty dishes with speed and cost economy. 192 pages of weel presented and easy to read recipes from soups to desserts and cakes. Each recipe has a handy table giving you timings calories etc and with a view to health and nutrition I particularly like the Curried lamb and apricot skewers (311 Kcal) ; the Bacon and mushroom croutes (402 Kcal) and the Chicken and Apricot Burgers with relish (211 kcals per burger). Meals take from 10 minutes to an hour so and offer something for everyone. top
