Product Description

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious recipes for all tastes 18 Jun 2003
By Di van Dyk
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Yummy food that's a bit different 13 Aug 2004
By "katharinesampson"
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic - my most-used cook book 21 Mar 2009
By New Cook
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful! 27 Aug 2008
By Sassi
This book is by far the best recipe I have ever owned (and I have a lot!). The recipes are delicious and I have never cooked anything that was a failure or a disappointment. There is a wide range of recipes including family meals to something a bit more exotic and unusual (without being overly complicated) and classic dishes with a twist. All recipes have a picture, which I personally find very helpful. Try the tomato bread soup, macaroni cheese with pancetta, chicken and pork paella, pumpkin risotto, chicken with thai basil chilli and cashews, Malaysian Nonya curry - delicious!!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a book of magic not recipes.. 18 July 2006
By Rob Johnston
As a person who lives a busy lifestyle and who doesn't have a lot of time to cook and eat, this book has brought so many smiles to my face. The recipes are very easy to follow and a lot of the food in here is simple and quick to make. While if you want to entertain and spend a bit of time and effort into having friends over for dinner there are recepes to cater for this as well. Plus I haven't cooked a meal out of this that wasn't absolutely delicious. Normally I will pick a recipe apart and add and take out ingredients, but I haven't touched one of them in here. Bravo!!

5.0 out of 5 stars My Favourite Cookbook! 22 Jun 2010
By Mr. Robert Dibden
This is the first time I have ever reviewed a book but I thought this was worthy of a comment.

My view is that if you get one or two great recipies our of a cook book you have got your monies worth. This book has several of my favourite recipies. They are all simple to make and taste wonderful! The creamy chicken pesto pasta is my favourite so far.

Have still many more to try. I have not had one bad dish from this book and is probably my favourite recipe book. Buy it, try it, and love it - this book has helped my be inspired for the love of cooking and eating at home.

5 out of 5 no question!!!

Bob, New Forest.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best comfort food books ever 18 Feb 2009
By Floating Londoner
I borrowed this book from a friend, and after a month I decided I had to buy my own copy or start to pay her rent!

There is a good mix of veggie, meat and fish recipes, and although I'm vegetarian I find the other recipes easy to adapt to my chosen diet.

Well worth taking a look at.
