Format:Hardcover
This book is not only packed with numerous recipes but it also suggests many tricks of the trade. How to segment citrus fruits would be a good example. It also has many recipes for those with food intolerances such as gluten free béchamel sauce. Containing excellent photography without overtaking the space this book is also an interesting read; along the lines of Elizabeth David. If you really want to improve your skills without the price tag of the cookery schools this is an excellent beginning. Even for cooks with established skills it still contains a wealth of information. It may appear more expensive than many other cookery books on the market but if you only have one cookery book this should be it. Everything you need to know is covered in it. I wholeheartedly recommend this book because it manages to cover so many areas without coming across as daunting.

I have managed restaurants and worked in kitchen's for years and a chef who trained at Darina's cookery school recommended this for me. The book is amazing, it covers every flavour and ingredient with an enormous variety of recipes. The instructions are really easy to follow and there's even step by step instructions on how to make difficult pastry and julienne carrots. I can not recommend this book enough, I have probably around 50 cookery books but I rarely bother reading them as this book has so much to offer.

It is really easy to follow and any of the meals I have prepared from this books have really impressed my dinner guests. It also has lots of useful kitchen tips. If you like tasty, easy to prepare food, this is the book for you.

Not my cup of tea
I didn't particularly like this cookery book. I found the lack of photographs, without proper labelling, off-putting. Read more
