I want to cook stuff so buying a recipe book is probably a good idea right? Any recommendations? Jamie's Ministry of Food one looks pretty basic which is good as i know very little but is it just a shitty tv tie-in or actually worth having? I want something with nice recipes that are fairly cheap and which doesn't require me to get lots of ingredients that i'm only going to use once, and which also has nice pictures of the food.
