As an novice allotment owner, the book is very informative, and contains listings and notes on most of the varieties of each type of vegetable. The varieties are readily found in seed packets at any garden centre, and give advice as to which is best for certain conditions and yields, etc.
The recipes are very good. The Irish colcannon is so simple.
A great book even if you only want to grow a few things in your garden.

A little too much tofu for my liking. I have to confess that I would only ever use half the recipies in the book, cause some aren't to the British pallet, but overall, a great book for helping you to put flavours together. I have to confess to bending the recipes to suit the ingredients I have in the house, but then that's what a good cook-book should do. Great sections, which divide up the quick meanls from the fancy ones, etc. Always the first book I pull from the shelf when someone's coming to lunch.

I first came across rose Elliott's Bean Book when I was at University and I literally taught myself to cook from it and survived on a very slender budget by cooking all her wonderful, cheap and tasty bean recipes.
My original copy was falling to pieces so I've just bought this new edition -- and i still love it! The warmth and friendliness of the book are very encouraging and the recipes are lovely.

This is a masterpiece of information and recipes that are mouthwatering. I am a food writer and recipe developer and this book is one of my most used resources. Hope to see a new version of Waters' "Chez Panisse Menu Cookbook" (my 1982 copy is nearly worn out) in the very near future.

This is the type of book you want to tell people about. Trotters passion for cuisine jumps out of every page. The squab terrine is worth buying this book for alone. And how many other books cover squab so well.
If you want a cook book for impressing friends when they are round to dine then this is the book.
The only problem I have with this book is that everytime I thumb through it I realise I am not at Charlie Trotters restaurant.
