Thrifty Finds July (Week 3) - BBC Chef & American Royalty

Ainsley Harriott's Gourmet Express 2, published in 2002. Mr, Harriott was a chef and a presenter (fancy British way of saying host) of several BBC cooking shows which involved public participation. The recipes in this book are from his show of the same name.

The recipes reflect the diverse cultures in the United Kingdom with quite a few Indian and Asian dishes making an appearance. The former owner marked a few favorite recipes: Toasted Halloumi Cheese & Chorizo skewers,  Creamy Salmon spaghetti, Cumin Curried Chickpea & Spinach burgers and Red Wine Spaghetti Bolognese (AKA Spag Bog - a favorite of of many literary characters in British chick lit books!).

Cooking for Madam - Recipes and Reminiscences from the Home of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, published in 1998. The author originally came to the Kennedy family in 1969 as a governess for Caroline and John, but stayed on after they left to help run the house. She spent a total of 25 years with Jackie. The nearly 100 recipes are family favorites including Caroline's favorite chocolate roll and Ted Kennedy's lobster salad.
