I looked around before I bought this book - I wanted something that had a lot more to it than the fish sections of general cook books, and I really wanted the sections on choosing fish and basic tchniques.
As you can see from the other reviews, it fits the bill very well However, I mark it down one star because using it as a cook book is actually quite difficult because of the lack of a proper cross-referenced index showing fish types and recipes. What they do is give you a load of recipes, which are listed under the name of a single fish, but may recommend up to about half a dozen other fish that will work. Suppose you have a beautiful grey mullet. You look it up in the index and find pretty much zilch. ... Read More: >>More Details |

This book is wonderful, imaginative, easy to read and understand. I also found it entertaining, for a 'non cook' that is praise indeed! Although I am no great cook, I do keep chickens for eggs, the wife wont let me eat them, (yet!)I do grow lots of stuff, and much of this is credited to the Author. A man who cherishes his food and where it comes from, and how. This book comes close to being my Bible

This massive tome has a wealth of information about everything to do with the meat we buy and eat. The pictures of what happens in abatoirs are salutary and remind one that to eat meat is a privilege. It's much more than a recipe book: more an instruction manual about which cuts to choose and how to cook them.
The author is convincing in his discussion of the ethical issues connected with different types of farming and the necessity to use every part of a carcass if an animal has been reared in a humane way. But it's far from being a polemical book: one can almost smell the aroma as he describes meat sizzling and browning and there are loads of inviting recipes that inspire one to get in the kitchen. There's also a long ... Read More: >>More Details |

This book is fantastic, I can not fault it one bit. Hugh and Fizz create a world where it is easy and fun to cook home made produce. My friends are often asking me how I know how to make so many good things, and its all in this cook book! Home made pasta, Who else actually does that anymore? Yet its easy and simple to do, all kinds of home made breads, cakes, its just brilliant!

There is only one point where I've got to criticize Hugh FW - his recipe for goose. Believe me, you don't wont it half raw but really well done. If you never tried it like that, you don't know what you missed. I'm german and goose has always been the traditional christmas roast in Germany, so I really know what I'm talking about. A good goose of about 5 kg needs about 5 hours at 175 °C, 200 °C for the last 90 minutes to crisp up. Taking into account that you've got to check and baste the bird regularly and be a bit flexible with cooking time, that should give you a really tender and moist bird. Having said that, the rest of the book is really great. I tried a lot of the recipes which all turned out fine. The "Broccoli with Anchovy and caper mayonnaise" and the "Lightly ... Read More:

If there is a better writer of modern gastronomic prose than Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall I have not come across him. Hugh's engaging style is the best of British writing, and incredibly engaging. I could not put this book down until I had read it all. Hugh may have foibles I disagree with but his compelling style makes me hope he publishes more like this. Giles Cadman

When I bought this book I was hoping for a book with simple easy to make recipes (soups should be easy I think). Some of the recipes are just too overcomplicated.
