5.0 out of 5 stars An amazingly fantastic read!, 3 April 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Cooking for Friends (Paperback)
This is a gem of a book. It is an easy to follow guide to cooking set out by season and with a wine suggestion for every recipe. The colour photographs enable you to see what you should aim for (!) and depict the cooking in a non pretentious and yet aesthetically pleasing way! Cooking of substance and certainly a cookbook of substance. I highly recommned this book as a cook book for life! No nonsense, i give it 5 stars!

5.0 out of 5 stars Cooking for friends never made easier, 18 Mar 2004
By Maureen Williams (Salisbury, Wiltshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cooking for Friends (Paperback)
Another triumph. I was over the moon with "recipes from Le Manoir Au Quat' Saisons" and this book is just as good. all the stages explained so easily, no need to spend hours over the stove when the guests arrive, so much forward planning is allowed for. Photographs provided to show presentation and Raymond's wine recommendations are "spot on". When is the next book coming on the market?

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for entertaining, 10 Aug 2005
This review is from: Cooking for Friends (Paperback)
I've entertained copiously from this book, and, whilst some recipes are very time-consuming, others are delightfully simple.

Very imaginative recipes and generally not requiring the best supermarket in the world to source ingredients; a standard butcher and a good greengrocer are sufficient.

The 'basic foundation recipe' section at the beginning is a boon, although reference to Mastering the Art ... is necessary to flesh out the instructions for sauces etc.
