Recipe Challenge - Book #44

Monday, 3 May 2021

 Family dinner provided the perfect opportunity to open up the very last book in the recipe book challenge:

I started the challenge in May last year, so it's taken almost a year to get here!  44 books later (and one book smuggled out the door ), and I've finally made it. The recipe book shelf has gone from this:

To this: (I also got a new phone with a better camera):

Looking at the shelf now I'm not sure how the BBQ book survived, or Stephanie Alexander's very boring book.  And astute observers will notice that some books have gotten a bit out of order during the challenge.  Nevertheless the task is complete. The South Hobart book exchange got some new books, my shelf got less cluttered, and I found some good new recipes along the way.

The final book Nibbled was all about small dishes - good for soirees and high teas.  Both of these items (lime meringue tarts and chocolate truffle macaroons) were pretty delicious so this book gets to stay.

So what's next? Well continuing with the food theme I'd like to make a dining table. I have little to no carpentry skills so it's going to e a challenge!
