This is such a good book, although quite small it is packed with recipes! As it says they are just one pot recipes so throw everything in and leave to cook. There's some really good ideas in here and the dessert section is great too.

Cooking for two is harder than you think. First of all, we don't mind splashing the cash for an eight people get together, or even a family sunday roast, but how much do you actually want to spend on you and your other half on a wednesday night.
This book will help you eat well and save money. The recipes are basic in terms of technique but never bland and boring.
I've been vegetarian for all my adult life and I can honestly say that I have never found a recipe book with as high a hit rate as this one. I've tried loads of the meals and all have been fantasic. What I like most is the combination of really easy to follow recipes, easy to find ingredients and exciting/unusual flavours.
I've bought this book a few times to give as presents once people had tried some of the food at my place. It's a cheap little book and as an added bonus, you have a breakdown of the recipes by carbs, fat and calories, so it's easy to find something to suit your needs.
If you only buy one vegetarian recipe book, buy this one. You really won't be disappointed.

I am a huge fan of the 101 books and I own a few of them but I have to say that this isn't one of the better ones. The choice of dishes aren't particularly interesting or inventive and a lot of them aren't even hot or spicy. I really struggle to find recipes that I would want to make and tend not to pick this up when looking for inspiration.

Of all the regular Good Food books, I think this will be the most used due to having quite a few nice looking pasta dishes (by regular I mean the books which are focused on main courses & starters, not dessert books). The chicken tarragon went down very well when my gf made it for her family 1 time, but the salmon & mushrooms with tagliatelle wasn't as tasty as it looked (Not even in the same league as Gino D'Acampo's pasta bow ties with salmon, peas & shallots yet it ended up costing more).
I'm thinking of making the spicy sausage with pasta next as that looks rather nice. As I said in a review on One Pot Dishes, this series seems to have a bit of a problem which is that it lacks any real heart or soul since there is no real input ... Read More:

This book should really be called '101 Fruit Dessets' - the majority of receipes use fresh fruit and had I known this, I would not have purchased it!
I'm a big fan of the 101 series as the recipes really do work and the books are a real bargain considering what you get! However, unless you're after a book of fruit desserts, I would say buy 101 Chocolate Treats or 101 Cakes & Bakes both of which have an enormous variety of cakes, biscuits and indulgent desserts to try!
