I have a shelf full of cookery books and had limited success. When I cook I want the results to be worth the effort, and this is a great little book with easy foolproof recipes. If you have been frustrated by recipes not looking like the picture and not tasting as good as how you imagined, finally this book really delivers.
So far I have tried the chocolate brownies, chocolate mousse and chocolate pecan fondants and have had rave reviews. Finally a book that has restored confidence in my culinary skills and managed to satisfy the chocoholic in me.

If you could only have one book in the kitchen, this should be it. It de-mystifies the 'Art' of cookery in a way that is both clear and consise, whilst at the same time making it possible for the reader to think creatively themselves. An invaluable reference book that you will grab off the shelf again and again.

As a largely self-taught cook this book is absolutely essential for all those things which I really should know by now but was afraid to ask!
For instance the 'egg' section shows you how to boil, fry, poach or scramble the egg, how to poach or scramble using the microwave, using egg yolk to thicken sauces, soups or stews and a simple mayonnaise recipe. Whilst this may seem simple to some I was never formally taught how to do any of this so it is nice to have some guidance. The waterproof cover is really handy, and the pages are slightly plasticised so a couple of drops on a page mid-cooking is not really a drama either.
It has helped me to expand my cooking range and be slightly more adventurous with its simple description ... Read More:

even though it is falling to pieces through over-use! I bought mine years ago for ajust a couple of recipes, but find it increasingly lives on the kitchen worktop as I now do some casual catering - great range for freezer standbys, family feasts, etc. But best of all is the recipe for gingerbread hearts, which I use to make gingerbread angels every Christmas for kids - it is gingery enough without being overwhelming, and at the school Christmas fair, they disappear before any of the cakes! I'd recommend it every time.
