Review
As the sub-title of the book states, this is a recipe book of comfort food for people on the move. Easy to prepare, easy to serve, the recipes are perfectly suited for today's busy lifestyle. Covering soups, salads, pasta, rice, wok cooking, curries and one-pot meals, it is an eclectic yet tasty collection of foods from around the world. From beef and borscht soup, Thai beef salad, macaroni cheese with pancetta to rogan josh and chilli con carne, the world is quite literally your oyster. Each recipe is attractively illustrated and the cooking instructions are clear and simple. Missing only deserts, this is a handy book to have on the shelf when you've had a busy day. For yourself or for dinner for friends, the variety ensures something for everyone. And being served in a bowl, the food is perfect for eating anywhere - from a made-up dinner table, an alfresco supper or just the sofa in front of the television, "Bowl Food" makes sure you still have time for yourself and not just the kitchen. - Lucy Watson

It is impossible not to find something in this book that you would like to eat. From rich Italian risotto and pasta recipes to healthy flavoursome eastern dishes, each recipe appears on its own page with a beautiful colour photograph of the finished dish. There are nearly 200 recipes divided into soups, salads, pasta, rice, wok, curries and "one pots". The recipes I most like are for the wok - since I am in a healthy eating phase at the moment and yearn for flavoursome, yet low-fat eating. Yakiudon - a Japanese dish of thick noodles with ginger, soy sauce, shredded cabbage and peppers, has become a family favourite. Stir fried lamb with mint and chilli was a huge hit at an informal dinner party. I bought this book as a present for a friend and immediately had to buy it for myself.

Packed full of ideas for everyday and special meals this book hits just the right note with me.
The recipes are authentic, which can mean lots of ingredients, but rarely complicated. They are always packed full of flavour and my personal favourits include the Laksa and mussaman curry.
This book manages to successfully include recipies from all over the globe while retaining authenticity. - a definate recommendation!

When I'm hungry and I fancy something different and exciting I pick up this book, flick through the pictures (one for each recipe - very useful for me as my eyes can decide for me!) Great range of cuisines. Recipes very easy to follow, my cooking (and enthusiasm for it) has improved hugely since starting to use this book. Absolutely love it, never fails to get yummy noises with each meal. I've got a fair few cook books from famous chefs/food buffs - I keep thinking about using them but in the end I give up for lack of inspiration or just put off by poor instructive writing, so I end up with this book every time. Highly recommended.
