The Mushroom Book How to Identify, Gather and Cook… by Thomas Laessoe

I must buy this one. Makes identification very straightforward and is generally a beautiful reference book.

Risotto with Nettles: A Memoir with Food by Anna Del Conte

And a bit more star. I did enjoy this - especially the earlier part of the book growing up before and through the second world war in Italy - not so much the later part covering her career. The early Oxford and London life had a number of parallels with my mother and father and that gave extra interest - I even wondered if they had met at all. There are also some recipes I may try.
