READ IT AND EAT:

devastation. So go forth, strawberry lovers, and fear not, use your best judgement. Buy in bulk, given they are so cheap… and get cooking! Rebecca Hambour

I start reading delicious. in the Talk to Us section. Then I go and grab the edition referred to in the letters from other readers. This way, I often find recipes I haven’t previously tried. In September, I was cooking Matt Preston’s Mexican black bean & corn nachos from the June issue (p 97), a great recipe that I hadn’t really considered adding to my repertoire until now. I find this reader advice invaluable and a brilliant way to check that I really use every great recipe in delicious. So a huge thanks to all the readers who take the time to write and ‘talk’ to me every month. Now off to check Instagram to see what else I may have missed. Cressida Crossley
