Not what I expected 1 April 2009
By Another Weasley TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
I heard about this from a friend and decided it would be worth a look. I am not the world's best cook and anything that makes life easier is a worth a shot in my view!

I have to say I am a bit disappointed with what arrived. The book is filled with "recipes", however it seems like some shouldn't really count as recipes. Take for example korma chicken - the four ingredients are chicken, 2 carrots, freshly chopped coriander AND a jar of Korma sauce. Another one for Rogan Josh - the four ingredients are lamb, 1 onion, 1 yellow pepper AND a jar of Rogan Josh sauce. I expected details of how to make your own sauce using 4 ingredients rather than the sauce being one of the ingredients. Maybe I was expecting too much but I feel a bit cheated by that as it should really be called ways to improve dishes, rather than recipes.

It is good in that it may give you ideas of how to add more to dishes and learn how to experiment yourself adding different flavours etc. It also could be a good introduction to cooking for kids. However I think £7 is a bit expensive for what it is and there are better books out there for introduction to cookery. It gives a few good tips but I don't think it will be a book you use over and over, I think it is one that will be put in the back of a cupboard and forgotten about.

Like I said, maybe I was expecting too much and there are some good tips and ideas there, but on the whole it did not really impress me.

This is so easy! 6 April 2009
Format:Paperback
I am so impressed with this book, it really does provide meals with just 4 or fewer ingredients. Originally, friends told me about it and I thought it too good to be true but I have just made a Pecan Pie which true to its word only required 4 ingredients. I am a busy parent without much time on my hands, this book is a god send!

Awesomely Simple 23 Mar 2009
Format:Paperback
I was recommended this book by some Australian friends who were over in Blighty last summer. Apparently it's taken the whole of Oz by storm and I can see why having just got a copy myself. These recipes are so good and simple that even my 10 year old can use the book and the variety of meals that one really can cook with just 4 ingredients is a real surprise. It's much better - and cheaper - than all those books by celebrity chefs that include ingredients that I'm sure no one ever has to hand. I can't recommend it enough.

If you want good nutricous (!) meals without the faffing about you get from top chefs, this is the book for you. Easy to follow using many store cupboard ingredients.

not as good as expected
I thought this was going to be full of great ideas, but only found a couple of recipes that I'll actually make. A bit disappointing.

4 Ingedients
A basic ideas book of recipes - suitable for young or inexperienced cooks. Rather a waste on someone who has been cooking/catering for years.

Great cookbook for those who hate to cook
I hate cooking and when I look at the number of ingredients that most meals require it is off putting. It is an easy to follow cookbook and uses shortcuts whenever possible. Read more
