I've been a great fan of Josceline Dimbleby as a cookery writer since her "A Tastes of Dreams" well over thirty years ago. Well the passage of time has I no way diminished her skills, and this latest offering is brim full of interesting and appealing dishes.

I must admit I was initially a little wary of "Orchards in the Oasis", described as it is as "recipes, travels and memories", thinking perhaps the recipes would be taking second or third place. But this is not so, almost every other page contains a recipe, it is still very much a cookbook in the true sense.

As for the recipes, well I was going to list some of the more interesting ones, but soon found I would end up listing the entire contents of the book, everyone looks and sounds truly delicious, I want to try them all. I will just mention one though, and that is an old favourite, Queen of Puddings, but here with a new twist and is aptly named Goddess of Puddings - check it out. The recipes originate from all parts of the world, but are usually presented in the author's own version, and all seem to be straight forward and sensible, and use readily available ingredients.

In addition to the enticing photographs of the dishes, the book is crammed with photographs from Josceline Dimblely's travels and of course her memories, which do make interesting reading, if you can tear yourself away from the recipes.

A Sainsbury Cookbook published in 1980. A super book to prompt one to try some new recipes. Chapters are Curries, Chutneys and Other Accompaniments, More Oriental Dishes and Sweetmeats and Desserts. The Sri Lankan Potatoes in Coconut Milk should become a staple to have either with a curry meal or simply alongside chops or sausages. The recipe given uses milk + dessicated coconut - it is easy to get tinned or powdered coconut milk nowadays.

A Sainsbury Cookbook published in 1982. Chapters are The Christmas Season, Holiday Feasts, Personal Celebrations and Party Pieces. Joscelinbe Dimbleby really should be up there with Delia and Nigella - a huge range of great recipes which just beg to be cooked and which, rather importantly, work tremendously well when they are. The Orange Truffles are especially good, using ground almonds.

One of the Sainsbury Cookbook series, published in 1978. Some of the recipes are specifically seasonal - the usual array of cakes, mincemeat, pudding and mulled wine. There are also some superb ideas meals beyond lunch on Christmas Day. The Red Velvet Casserole of Beef, using beetroot, is superb for any winter evening's meal. Josceline Dimbleby's mince pies are second to none - they use orange juice and rind in the pastry and a little cream cheese in the filling.
