See you've pruned out your kitchen books. Have you put them somewhere else? My library somewnat neglected recently - not even added new books as they are bought. Working on Porto Santo Garden to be ready for Spring. Hope all is well.

O vinho do Porto na cozinha : história e gastronomia - here's another one

Check out n.º 71 for a coincidence!

A Librarythinger in South Africa asked me about cookbooks from Goa whilst I was in Funchal. I remembered this one - but I haven't got to the shelves in the kitchen yet.

Gosh! you've been busy today. Hope you don't have as many gastronomic texts as your sister or you'll fall right off my list! Better get out the Visa card for more kitchen books ...

Off to Madeira and off-line tomorrow, back on Wednesday.

Yes of course I noticed that too, some rather obscure shared titles, especially of older works. I'm really pleased to find another bookish gardener in Portugal - quite unexpected. I've been a gardener all my life, for the last 20 years in Portugal, but I was born in Canterbury, UK. I work as a landscape architect, so as the old saying has it, "em casa do ferreiro espeto pau!" I have no garden of my own any more. Currently I'm working in Funchal - far from my books - this is going to be a long project.
