Quick to prepare, nutritious and tasty family recipes -

I've been looking for some nutritious, tasty & quick to prepare recipes to feed a family (might have longer cooking time, but it's the short prep I like); this book fits perfectly. It doesn't have ridiculous lists of ingredients, most you have in our store cupboard anyway - and if you need to buy anything in, it's something you'll reuse if you have this book anyway. Out of the recipes I've tried so far, 4 have been brilliant and one a bit bland - but I never expect to like everything in a cook book. I make large quantities of some meals and freeze portions off, making my life even easier. Can't recommend enough!

Brilliant book -

This is my first book review - but this book deserves it! The recipes are clear and don't require great lists of ingredients. They have been well received and I'm already looking forward to the vegetarian volume due out soon. This book is perfect for cooks who are looking for something different but don't have hours to spend sourcing or preparing ingredients. I'd recommend it and for £5 it's a steal.

Tasty, easy and delicious -

I found this book to be well set out with lots of tasty recipes for good, wholesome family food which is easy to cook and a bit of a change from the norm. I tested a few of these recipes and the results were well received! The quantities produced were quite large - so they would be good for large families or families with teens - As I only have one child, I froze the leftovers in smaller portions for 'emergency' dinners for my daughter. Tasty, easy and delicious recipes in a well set out and tastefully illustrated recipe book.
