Hi Debjani,
thanks and I'm glad it was such a great success! Concerning cookbook recommendations...mmh, this is always one of the first questions I ask other food (and cooking!) loving people ;)
Given the variety of cuisines and tastes it’s a little difficult, it really depends on what direction you want to take. For me, probably because of my job (advertising/creative dept), the style (pictures and layout) has to be quite appealing, usability on the other hand isn’t as important...
Naturally, a lot of my favorites are written in German, but then I also have a few top ones in English: Donna Hay does wonderful cookbooks like “New Food Fast”, “Entertaining” or “Flavours”. Since you liked the chocolate cake, you could have a look at Trish Deseine’s books, “I want chocolate!” or “Cooking with friends” ;)

Dear Melissa and Keiko!
Thanks for your moral support on the cookbook issue ;) Great new arguments there, “an investment in a culinary education” sounds hilarious!

Hi Nicky - When I was in Japan, I never cooked tuna (as eating raw is the best way to taste them) but I do lots since I came here (as you can't find good quality ones very often). Yours looks delicious. And, like Zarah said, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS TOO MANY COOKBOOKS!! I hope I was loud enough :)

Hi Nicky, fantastic site, very polished and elegant. I love to read what you have to say about Germany, makes me nostalgic for all the time I spent there... About cookbooks, I consider it an investment in a culinary education. After all, you learn something from each cookbook you buy, and just think about all the money some people spend on cooking school! I also think about other people I know that collect things - for example , I know one couple that collects grand pianos! Compared to that, collecting cookbooks seems like a pretty harmless pursuit... Anyhow, that's how I rationalize my own compulsive amazon ordering! :)

Hi, I just wanted to say that I love your blog, not only is it very pretty but I really appreciate how detailed you are with the recipes. I tried the chocolate cake for my flatmate's birthday, and it was a huge success. Today is my birthday and my colleagues have given me a €50 Amazon voucher. I would love to spend it on cookbooks, but unfortunately there's so many that I want that I just can't choose (yes, like so many of you out there I too am a cookbook addict). Could you give me a recommendation?
