I use this book all the time and several recipes have become staple meals in our house, try the cauliflower cheese soup - so easy but utterly delicious; or the baked cod on spring onion mash - real gastropub stuff but again so easy. And it's stuffed with little tips which influence your own cooking - I always do my roast potatoes a la Nick now! This book has really made me fall in love with cooking.

This is, without a doubt, the difinitive guide to what to do now you own a pasta machine. My only complaint is that it lacks some of the great photography that marks modern cookery writing (see the "A little Taste of" series for what I mean). If you make your own pasta don't be daunted by the baffling array of shapes he uses, I find that most recipes work equally whatever I add them to (although this isn't a popularist view back in Italy). Given the game season is almost upon us, try the rabbit/pheasant/mushroom recipe - divine.

I have enjoyed the Dinner Lady for the past year or so, and I would say that her second book is every bit as good, if not better. She seems to have grown into her position. The writing before the recipes start is pertinent but not to wordy, and the recipes are just a little less basic (which is not a criticism at all) than in her first book. The flavours are slightly more exotic and I would say she is being more adventurous. If, like me, you want to create good food for your family, but sometimes struggle for inspiration, then I would certainly say that this is one to add to your collection. This woman is a star.

This book and it's wonderful chef re-invigorated the Lime industry with these recipes. That aside, this is a brilliant cookery book. Beautifully illustrated of course but then most cookery books are these days. What sets Delia apart is that her recipes work and you don't need to be a Michelin trained chef to complete them.
She has great tips on where to buy ingredients and utensils.
This book is to enjoy and to try out the recipes, however they are not for someone who cannot spend time and much patience to prepare, and to cook with care. Raymond Blanc is the Rolls Royce of chefs and this book proves it, by the shear amount of information it contains the advise and chefs notes are invaluable. The terrain dishes are truly amazing. I have managed to cook the venision terrain and it is truly the best I have ever made. My dinner guests were speachless as they have all commented on my level of cookery skills improvement. It is all down to this one man passion of cooking Raymond Blanc and one of the best cook books available.
