Hamlyn All Colour Cook Book (Hamlyn All Colour Cookbook)by: Mary Berry, Ann Body, Audrey Ellis July 31, 1970 Best Selling > Food and Drink > Food Writers and Chefs |

Good simple recipes using the minimum of ingredients. Some ingredients don't exist anymore (e.g aspic) or are modernised, (fresh yeast, lasagne that needed to be boiled for 10 minutes before using in dish). It's nostalgic to look at the old style cookware in the illustrations.
The dishes I cook from this book taste great. >>More Details |

This is an excellent book, full of sound advice. Ostensibly divided into seasons, it contains several essays on different subjects - game, cake, cold soups, baking, pancakes etc, each with a number of recipes and tips. It was published nearly 40 years ago, but remains extraordinarily relevant to the way we try to cook now. I found it reminiscent of Simon Hopkinson (indeed, it's recommended in his 'Roast Chicken...'), so if you enjoyed his books, you'll like this.
The recipes are the book's heart though. This is how British food should be - interesting, satisfying, unfussy - and not substituting novelty for taste. >>More Details |

I bought this book on eBay and found myself in proud possession of a hardcover `second edition' reprint from 1965. (I have no idea if the current version is updated or even converted to metric, sorry).
Elizabeth is a darling ! and definitely the first English Domestic Goddess, long before Nigella et al came onto the scene. Her delivery of these many, many regional recipes is neither as school madam-ish as early Delia, nor as infuriatingly chummy as Jamie-the-mockeny-Oliver. She engages us in such a way as to make one really believe that nobody cooks like the French, but at the same time that anyone can recreate this culinary wonderland here in grey old England. This book is so much more than a list of recipes, it is an adventure ... Read More: >>More Details |

The Naked Chefby: Jamie Oliver April 26, 2001 Best Selling > Food and Drink > Food Writers and Chefs |

In this book, you'll find a wide variety of recipes ranging from british over north african and asian to the italian ones that are Jamie's trademark. There is something for every occasion in it, up to making your own bread. A book not only for fans but for everyone who's looking for easy manageable recipes that can still impress. Try the baked butternut squash served warm with a salad - you're sure to get applause. A book that should be missing on no shelf.

Jane Grigson was one of the leading cookery writers of her generation with some similarity to the writing talents of the great Elizabeth David, in that her books combine superb writing with impeccable research.
In fact in this book she acknowledges Elizabeth David (ED), 'whose taste in the matter of fruit is unequalled' and other cute references such as in the article about 'pickled cherries', followed by a recipe for 'Cherry Brandy', `ED's Black Fruit Fool' - `a recipe for devotees of prunes and dried fruit and `ED`s Sweet Flan Pastry` - `easy to remember and efficient in practice'. `It is from a love of fruit that Jane wrote her book, the much awaited companion volume to the enormously popular and successful `Jane Grigson Vegetable Book' . ...

I was just browsing in my local bookshop under the "Cooking-category". I came across Elizabeth DAVID's 'IS THERE A NUTMEG IN THE HOUSE" by accident. I bought the book straight away, and I can't put down the book. I had tried Pastenak (pasnips) and cress cream soup. Spicy lentils soup is just delicious! And, the spiced prunes!!! hmmm..... One of new year's resolution is to eat healthily, more vegetables and fruits!! I know I can do it this time. :) Whats so AWESOME is the introduction of new ways of cooking veg (eg parsnips - which I normally roasted them) and simple and clear instructions. Funny and witty delivery! Thoroughly enjoyed the book. I have also bought "French Provincial Book", and ... Read More: >>More Details |

Real Fast Food: 350 Recipes Ready-to-Eat in 30 Minutesby: Nigel Slater October 18, 1993 Best Selling > Food and Drink > Food Writers and Chefs |

For the past few years I've found myself cooking the same sorts of dishes, spending a couple of hours in the kitchen, making something that would last a few nights. But they weren't particularly exciting; not the 10th time around, at least. The odd take-away or pre-packed meal got me through the end of the week when I was too tired to cook.
A friend bought me Real Fast Food a month ago. What can I say? This is transforming my cooking. Truly inspirational. Without a doubt the best and most practical cook book I own. I can't recommend it enough. The book has a great "store cupboard list" of ingredients that will help ensure you are always able to make something that hits the spot - tasty, varied and and quick dishes that never fail to delight. ...
