It was gorgeous, even though I had to turn off the oven a bit early to run to a meeting, so the bread remained a bit moist inside. Pille, I've checked out Claudia Roden's books from the library (public libraries are THE source for cookbooks in Helsinki) and am seriously considering buying her Middle Eastern book. My kitchen bookshelf can allocate only perhaps ten or twenty new tomes, so I'll have to be superselective about what I buy. Anyway, let us know when you are in Helsinki... We'll try to make sure that your trip is worthwhile ;) Hi Fiordizucca, I gave your cherry tomato and sweet potato focaccia a try last week, substituting rosemary for oregano.

Perhaps that's what I'll cook for you, Pille, with bone marrow-enriched risotto milanese. fiordizucca: you can prepare oxtails pretty much the same way you would cook osso bucco - which btw is one of my all-time favorites.

I often get "cravings" for a particular cookbook on my bookshelf in Tallinn. Rather frustrating when I'm in Edinburgh myself:) Have you got any other cookbooks by Claudia Roden? I love both her Book of Jewish Food (a good cookbook plus a brillian history of the culture), and her new book Arabesque is full of really tantalising recipes! I haven't had oxtail stew before. Sounds like something that would be worth a night in Helsinki as opposed to just a quick stopover:) Anna - I totally understand you missing your cookbooks back home when living in the States!!!
