Rating: - My fave joint fave recipe book ever!
I love this book!!! I'm a real foody and although I use Delia Smith cookbooks for anything really special there are sooooo many fantastic recipes in this book;. I'm a real perfectionist so most of the recipes take me longer than the time specified but they are so worth it. My fave is the chilli cheese meatballs. I have mqade these for lots of people and they've all loved them. The fab haddy and gooey egg is great too (although it sounds odd with the tomoatoes-it's GOOD!!!!)
Buy it and enjoy!!!
Rating: - Perfect
I never cooked before i bought this book (frozen pre-cooked food doesn't count!).
The dishes are hard to screw up, proven by the fact that i have not. The meals are very easy to make and taste even better,not to forget they are also CHEAP to make.
To sum it up, this book has made cooking something that can be done without a lot of time and effort and yields great results.
Rating: - my fave cookery book
well done ainsley, when's the next one out! This is my fave cook book by far, I especially love the Chicken Chou Mein (which sent the plumbers tastebuds reeling) and Chicken Acupulco dishes, I even cooked liver for the first time with the help of a superb port and sour cream sauce! Many of these recipes have been added to my favourite list of dishes to impress and in half the time! On the bad side, I'm running out of new dishes to cook so hurry up and write a second one....!
Rating: - Great recipes, but not as quick as suggested
There really are some great recipes in here. The Jazz and Spice Shepherd's Pie is a (fattening) favourite of ours. His quick noodles dishes are excellent. And I just loved the Lemon Caramel Strawberry Meringues.
But I have a problem with this book, and it rather centres around its whole concept. The meals are meant to be very quick. Now even allowing for my relaxed style of cooking most of his timings are WAY out. The preperation times in particular are just way off and I can't help but think the timings are based on how quickly HE can chop vegetables. Anyone who has seen him cook on TV will know that like most of the TV chefs they chop FAST! Of course they do! They're professionals! Mere mortals like me have to chop slower to avoid ... Read More:

For my entire 12 year marriage, I have been unable to cook well enough to please my husband , who demands perfection and perfect seasoning in his meals, he would usually hover over me and try to spice up whatever bland food we might be having!! I would be so hurt whenever he tried to interfere with my cooking, I wanted to prove to him that I can cook!!!
WELL!!! I can now buy the freshest food, at a much cheaper cost, I might add, and wait until I get home and just throw something fabulous together the seasoning is perfect(Ainsley, you don't know how important finding you books has been in our house hold) . And the variety is awesome( I speak of Barbecue Bible and Gourmet Express too). Unfortunately Gourmet Express 2 is unavailable ... Read More:
