“Take 15 cookbooks from the best celebrity cooks. Add a special collector’s case to keep them in. Reduce, then serve. That's what we’ve done to create the new 15 part Mini Cookbook Collection.”
Mmm !!!
“They’re serving up something big”
Jamie Oliver's ~ Jamie Does… was the first book (free) in the collection on May 8th.
Continuing through until June 2nd , Jamie is followed by a host of Australia’s favourite celebrity cooks , Gary Mehigan, Maggie Beer, Matt Moran, Kylie Kwong, Stephanie Alexander just to name a few.
Each mini cookbook has over 20 recipes, all for just $2 each.
As the website~ http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/food-month says
“... by the end of the month you'll have a library of over 350 inspiring recipes from some of our most celebrated cooks. The Mini Cookbook Collection. It's going to be big…”
I was asked to review one recipe from one book.
I’ve been pouring over my mini cookbook collection for a favourite to share with you.
Alas, I have dozens ... tantalised and spoiled by the variety and celebrities.
The smorgasbord of choice is stunning.
Breakfast, lunch, dinner, in between and afters.
Any times.
I need never to cook the same recipe twice in a month again with Food Month’s Mini cookbook collection.
Reading cook books gives me great pleasure. When cooking for my family the reward exceeds the expectation when the plate is left empty.
The Mini cookbook collection is lovely to look at and has gorgeous images to tempt you.
Autumn is my favourite season of the year because as
Donna Hay says ~ There’s a crisp edge to the air ... ~
I chose the coffee and chocolate self saucing pudding to surprise my family with, and warm us up on a chilly night.
It was quick and easy to make with 15 mins preparation time,
25-30 mins cooking time and then gone in 60secs after I snapped this
I had 6 extra family guests for dinner, so I actually made 2 versions one with coffee and in the other I substituted cocoa for the children.
By the way Donna Hay’s “Seasons” is on sale Sunday May 29th.
Check the Food Month website for more information and make sure you browse the sample collection available on the website from all your favourite chefs.
So who is your favourite celebrity chef from the Mini cook book collection?

I love Maggie's recipes, they are so homey :) I wish I owned the little mini cook book. I loved how she did the roast chicken on Masterchef a few weeks back and we already made it at home, it was delicious! The kids loved it too which was great because we don't often get to eat together.
S ~ Maggie is one of my favourites too.
I love her roast chicken recipe.
My local newsagent said most newsagents are keeping the series until the end of the Food month promotion.
Then they have to send back any not sold - so check your local newsagents. Jamie Oliver's was free so it is 'sold' out.
Oh yum - that looks just delicous. I love Jamie Oliver and Stephanie Alexander's books. They have such a great philosophy re: food and cooking.
I was thinking "I wonder if it would taste good to replace the coffee with chocolate" and then you did it! Great minds :P
My favourite? the great aussie family cookbook in this series has the most family friendly meals that I would actually cook. I like Stephanie Alexander too.
These cookbooks are great. I love this recipe and you have done an awesome job with your pictures. I think I would love to make this just as a chocolate self saucing pudding! Yummo! With a dollop of cream. Heaven. I am thinking I need a dessert for dinner now :)
Breakfast, lunch and dinner, in between and afters.
Ha Ha.
Those in betweens are somehow shrinking my jeans.....
@Glowless - both were yum. The chocolate sauce especially with double thick cream.
@Toushka - agree, there are a lot I would like but not so much the kids and hubby :)
@Naomi - it was so easy - one dish to mix the batter, no hand mixer even.
@Rivers - LOL I know what you mean about the in-betweens. I am tempted by so many of the recipes.
STOP! I'm salivating ... none of these are an good for a budding triathlete!!
Oh yum! that looks delish!
YUM! I love a self-saucing pudding!
I wonder if I could have that puddig for breakfast, lunch, dinner and afters?
Yum!
I made a choc self saucing pud on Wednesday night. It was the weather for it.
I'm chugging through some Nigella books. My family are pretty happy about that. The woman knows comfort food!!
@Red Nomad - there are some great healthy dishes amongst 350 :) - plus the more you run the more you'll burn.
@Jody - it was , a new family favourite once I make the white choc cheesecake
@Megan - I love any pudding except steamed ones.
@Dorothy - I'll give your permission - just walk 20,000 steps a day.
Sam - mmmm yes, love her chocolate anythings. I am spoiled for choices with my mini collection with so many celebs.
I love them.
The best thing about the mini.s is they don't take up much space.
All of them have some favourites and what a bargain for $2 to get inspiration when we have 21 meals a week to cater for.
This looks delicious! I haven't heard of the mini cook books before. :)
This looks beyond yummy. The mom here is a chocolateolic and loves to eat it up. Hope all is well with you and your family.
