Google the Observer (British Sunday paper, stable companion to the Guardian) and/or BBC for a chap named Nigel Slater. Actually, he is my favourite food writer, by far. He writes wonderful recipes in an exquisite (almost pornographic) prose style; besides an elegant prose style, and an ability to inspire both confidence and greed in the reader, the recipes are very doable, - almost everything I cook is a copy or a derivation of a Nigel Slater recipe - and the results are invariably delicious.
