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 ... Read More: >>More Details |

This is a fantastic book that covers cooking and cooking skills. It is a fantastic reference, a great example of this is I wanted a hollandaise sauce recipe and the book mentions three differnet methods depending on the amount of people you are cooking for. Excellent is the only word for it and it allows you to cook in your own style with the tips/knowledge of a chef. I would like to read the book in bed from cover to cover, but I think my wife would leave me if I did.... It is a little bit sad I suppose.

Got this book for Christmas 07 and am slowly but surely working my way through it.
Simple, easy to follow and well explained. My only slight fault would be I would like even just a little picture beside each recipe to see how it's supposed to turn out. Other than that, 10/10 >>More Details |

This is the best healthy eating book I've found that caters for couples and doesn't take up too much time when you get home from work. The recipes are clear and easy to follow. The ingredients are really simple (I usually have them in my kitchen) and you can get them from your local supermarket (unlike other books I've tried, which require hunting out health food stores!).
I've really enjoyed the meals I've made using this book and it doesn't feel like I'm on a diet, as it's full of flavour. The only thing I'd note is that the recipes use American measurements, but that hasn't stopped me yet! >>More Details |

For me, Pret is a British institution. I fell in love with Pret while taking graphic design courses in London. It was between my school and a really nice park. I admit, I did try other places to grab a bite, but none compared in freshness and taste like Pret. I even converted my husband, who is most fond of the hoisin duck wrap and banana cake.
Fast forward to me finishing school and getting a job where there are no sandwich shops anywhere around. Insanely bored of bringing sandwiches in, and feeling nostalgic for the good old days of central London and my park, I picked up the Pret A Manger cook book. Oh yes, there it is, easy to prepare lunch stuff that tastes great. I love it. Who knew that a few simple ingredients could make me so happy (Pret ... Read More: >>More Details |

101 Meals for Two: Tried-and-tested Recipes (Good Food 101)by: B.B.C. "Good Food Magazine" July 06, 2006 |

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 highly recommend it. >>More Details |

What a smashing little book.I came across this book ten years ago,but nothing has changed since then. We put food in the oven,in it's raw state,and take it out ready to eat,and it's as simple as that. Well this simple( fantastic paperback),will show you how to do just that. I do enjoy seeing the tv chefs at work.what I dont enjoy,is the judges complainig,when it's the wrong colour.Don't they know there are people starving to death in the world. Well no matter what the colour,this book will have you feeding yourself in no time. When my wife died,all my mates said,!You wont manage to cook for yourself!.Well had it not been for this book,they may have been right.
One of the best books on my shelf.(in the kitchen that is).Oh by the way.It dosn't cover just eggs. Go ... Read More: >>More Details |
