Ohhh Ohhh.... the discovery......

It is not good... ohh ohh... I can hear myself groaning... for many years, I have not kept up with the times, and being quite the risk adverse person that I often am (so evident when I always order the same dish at the same restaurant, and even at different restaurants, because I like it and I know it will be good... I have never been one to experiment with new dishes or weird ingredients...), however I think it is all about to change...

Whilst it seems like the majority of the world have hopped eagerly and even become addicted to ebay.com, online shopping etc, I have been quite the tradition shopper - preferring to buy items face to face :) However, I have found that it is very difficult to buy really cool, interesting and internationally acclaimed cookbooks in Australia and/or in Singapore. I suspect they are all in the US (sadly!) - however, Amazon.com is the answer to my prayers... and now, I think I shall be taking that step forward and will be doing some "clicking"!

Now, I am eagerly wondering which book I should buy to christen my entry into the world of Online Shopping. I can't decide... there are a million wonderful books out there...and I do fear that once I start, I won't be able to stop!!!


I'll let you know my decision soon.... *grin*

(Btw - yes there will be a food entry happening soon... once I get the pictures!)

Hope you had a very happy and warm weekend! :)
(It is raining like cats, dogs and even elephants in Perth, WA now!!!)

Have you tried Borders???
I find that buying things face to face are more reliable.
Buying online would require some form of risk, unless you are pretty sure of what you want.
Give it try, and show us your new cookbook kay

I have actually! They dont have a very wide selection, unfortunately!

At italian places, I always like to order the seafood marinara!
