I think that this is one of my favourite recipe books ever!! I love Italian food and this book has it all. Really simple sauces and marinades to much more complex cookery. If ever we are stuck for an idea for dinner this book is always picked up first, I would highly recommend it!

I have a library of over 100 'cookery'and recipe books. Some are classics and some are useless, but, over the years, I keep returning to just three of them (the other two are Nigel Slater's Real Cooking and Ken Hom's Chinese Cookery). Yes, she can state the obvious. Yes, she can be irritatingly twee: "What you do then is...". But the recipes work, they taste really good, and her advice is always 100% sound. If I could only have one cook book, it would be this.

... to write this. Or a Jeremy. Or possibly a Terence. But maybe we all have anorak-y tendencies when it comes to name-checking the fondly remembered foods of our 1950s and 60s childhoods.
But sorry, Nigel - you've done this too many times before - and so have too many other people. Spangles, Dairylea triangles, Jammie Dodgers, Tunnock's teacakes have had the Proustian treatment before. And let's face it though Spangles now RIP, nearly all of these along with Sarson's vinegar and Bisto can be bought in any Tesco today. Though I agree that floral gums (and cherry lips, the best for eating surreptitiously through double Latin) have had the chemistry formula changed and don't taste the same. When Nigel gets stuck, or his Proustian madeleine/Rich ... Read More: >>More Details |

I love the clear descriptions of the principles of Sous Vide, as well as the different chefs' perspectives on the uses of this technique. The recipes are easy to read, with ingredients helpfully measured in grams. Many have stunning colour photographs, and each has a clever "At Service" section indicating how best to achieve a stunning presentation. There is also an invaluable chart listing temperature and cooking times for each ingredient. "White Asparagus with Field Rhubarb and Black Truffle Coulis"? "Torchon of Monkfish Liver with Green Apple Jelly and Ossetra Caviar"? Or maybe a "Cherry-Vanilla" consisting of "Madagascar Vanilla Bean Cake, Morello Cherry Ice Cream, Italian Pistachio Coulis, Kirsch Foam, and Cherry Jam"? Thomas Keller is a genious!

I bought the pair for my mum a year ago and they have ended up going round the whole family, young and old. Yes they have a nostalgic feel to them and it's food that nana used to make but thats what makes them so good, we are now having to live as if things are rationed, the meals that were made back then weren't full of e numbers and other nasty things (lets face it, we've all become alergic to them all anyway), they were wholesome and filling with no waste, after all I'm sure it's not only me that loves bubble and squeek on a monday with the sunday roast left overs. It has made me realize how lucky I am to have everything I want but I can survive on next to nothing.
Also the Make do and Mend is also full of cleaning tips and a definate must for anyone living in ... Read More: >>More Details |

I bought this book on a whim and have just completed my fifth cake and am in the process of devising my sixth cake - the pictures and instructions are brilliant, I had never iced a cake before and now feel competent enough to make them for people other than family! Would highly recommend this, and looking at other peoples reviews am going to buy book 2! Well worth it.

I have no doubt members of the editorial committee that oversaw this revision (2001) are talented people and some of the best in the culinary scene in France. It has a wealth of classic haute cuisine and not so haute like sole menuiere, and how to prepare elaborate pigeon dishes. Summaries for other non-French cuisines vary in quality: the section on British cuisine(s) is rather brief and Austrian pastry excellent. The section on non-European countries cuisines are poor and brief: much of Chinese cooking is not covered well, Korean cuisine doesn't make it, the section on New Zealand ignores the current convergence towards Pacific Rim cuisine and explosion of Mediterranean-style food products, and Mexico is merged with other Latin American countries. I wouldn't blame the ... Read More:

I really like this cookbook, it's the only one I own that I go back to again and again. It would make a great buy or gift for someone who wants to learn to cook but doesn't know where to start. The lack of photos makes the book seem dull but I've come to prefer it, there are no cheffy presentations to make me feel inadequate!
I've knocked it down from a 5 to a 4 because I've come across errors so obvious I have no idea how they went unnoticed. Take the Spaghetti Bolognese entry for an example. It tells you you'll need a 100g/14oz can of tomatoes. 14oz is 396g! In the same recipe there's no mention of celery in the ingredient list but the recipe says 'Add the onion and celery'. Despite the errors I still recommend this book. Just be sure to read ... Read More: >>More Details |

I read the book while i was studying at law school at University of Peshawar. it is really a great book. it helps one learn to enjoy every samll bit of life. its a very lovely story of small school kids and people who are concerned about them. and some where when you don't even reallise it transforms in a small love story. I enjoy every sentence of it, and read it five times(no exageration, i enjoy it that much and it is still on my disk. i still remember a kids spelling corrections when Miss. dela be aware(Miss de la Mare) appreciated them as a good poem;
yesterday yesterday yesterday sorrow sorrow sorrow today today today hope hope hope tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow Love love love and dont forget to read the "big stick joke" ... Read More: >>More Details |
