This book has been invaluable for me. I have used it every day since buying it.
Darina has a way of talking you through a recipe as if she is right there in the kitchen, and believe me there is a recipe for everything.
The book ranges from meat to veg and fruit to breads soups sauces jams and pickles and everything in between.
Many recipes have a mother recipe, for example pesto, and then variations.
My most favourite recipe so far has been the vanilla ice cream, and I have a phobia of mixing hot syrup with egg yolks, but Darina shows you how to stop it making sweet scrambled eggs.
A great buy for everyone.
Enjoy!

I bought this book for my sister as a gift as I received it as a gift a year ago and I love it, it is expensive but you can use it as you bible for so many recipes, very easy to follow good illustrations if you are a novice cook or experienced you will for sure get something out of it. The proof that it is such a good book is that I have never been able to find it in any second hand bookshops or for sale on Amazon second hand or other sites, or if you do find it the price is almost the same as buying it new.

I have owned this cookbook for many years, in fact I have two versions - English and American - as I moved between Europe and the US. It is invaluable, and very, very user friendly. I have used it for everything, from dinner parties, to finger buffets, to snack and picnic food. The Ballycotton Fish Pie is the best I have ever eaten, and is very easy. If you are looking for a practical, well written and useful book, with recipes that really do work, look no further. Worth every penny.
