This is the most spectacular cookbook ever! I borrowed this from the library along with a stack of others when I first left home, and within weeks had brought my own copy to keep forever! The layout of the pages is clear and very well presented in the typical Donna Hay style, with excellent colour pictures of every single dish. There are pages of excellent little tips on each of the sections. The sections include 'lemon and lime', 'salt and pepper', 'herbs', and my favourite 'chocolate' recipes, to name only a few. You have to see this book! My favourite recipe so far: pasta with chilli and bacon. But I'm still trying every single one out... If you love cooking, but this - you will love using it.

I love Donna Hay's cooking and New Entertaining is one of my most frequently used cookbooks - regardless of whether I'm entertaining or not! This new book is just as good as Donna's passions are very similar to my own so recipes based on vanilla, garlic, chocolate, chilli, basil and ginger (not all together I hasten to add!) are just perfect. Her aussie style comes through loud and clear once again. I thought I'd done everything possible with pasta but her "Spaghetti with Lime and Rocket" showed me a fabulous new twist. The photography is beautiful too, you really feel like you can taste and smell these goodies as you read through. Reading this book on an empty stomach is sheer torture!
