Every few months or so The Book People visit work with a pile of discounted books for sale.
The last time they came round, just before Christmas - after making a few purchases for Santa to deliver - I bought a slow-cooker recipe book, which got us dusting off our old crock-pot and producing some very tasty dishes. Making a welcome change from our old slow-cooker standard of sausage casserole.
This time I picked up some Oxford Reading Tree read at home books, and a copy of The Hairy Bikers Family Cookbook - "Mums know best!"
I've just spent the last hour leafing through it, and despite having just had a large fish supper, I'm feeling hungry from just looking at the recipes.
"Dave's Mam's Killer Fishcakes" look particularly good - I'll definitely be giving them a try, but I'll be keeping the kids out of the way whilst they're cooking.
The Hairy Bikers story is that they're so-called because they nearly were killers. "Three-year old Dave sat sucking the key to his clockwork monkey, he was distracted by the delicious smell of fishcakes cooking. One gulp and the key lodged in his throat - he had to have an operation to remove it!"
