Gizzie's Kitchen Magic is a fab cookbook. She had cleverly balanced basic recipes to tempt and give confidence to the novice or newcomer into the kitchen whilst also giving plenty of recipes with a little twist for those who cook already and are looking for a little inspiration.
I fall into the second category, so here are a taster of some of the recipes I fancy trying: marinades for a whole chicken including Malaysian Satay Marinade, Coq au Vin with Herby Dumplings, Lamb Massaman Curry, Lamb Chops with Green Peppercorn Sauce, Bailey's Chocolate Croissant Butter Pudding, Rosewater and Cardamon Creme Brulee with Pistachios, Pineapple Cake with Lime-Soured Cream Frosting and Blond Rocky Roads.
The recipes give a nod to tradition and what works, but are presented in a really stylish and up to the minute form.

Having seen Gizzi Erskine on Cook Yourself Thin as well as reading her column in Company magazine, i was delighted to hear that she had written her own cookbook.
I was very excited when the book arrived Tuesday and it didn't fail to disappoint. I am not ashamed to admit that i am an amateur chef who until September had never created a whole meal for myself.
I love the fact that Gizzi's recipies give you the basic recipie and then ideas on what to try to make it a little bit different. She never patronises and her recipies are simple to follow, but with fantastic results. Where as a lot of cookbooks seem to include a few recipies, a lot of pictures and a lot more waffle, Gizzi's Kitchen Magic is crammed full of recipies - she obviously lets her food do the talking.
The things that i am looking forwad to making the most are Chicken Katsu Curry (a particular Wagamama favourite of mine), Black Cod with Plum Miso, Five Spice Pork Belly, Sticky Banoffee Pudding and her Baileys Chocolate Croissant Butter Pudding.
All in all i think its an interesting and informative cookbook.

I bought this book when it was recommended to me on Amazon as i had already purchased the 'cook yourself thin' book which Gizzi features in.
I like to try my hand at cooking, mostly baking but i have never been taught any technique or skill for cooking and tend to shy away from anything that looks difficult! This book couldn't be better for me. At the beginning of each chapter she explains everything you will need in simple terms. It's like having a little cookery lesson as well as just the recipes, although not patronising at all. She includes alternatives in all the recipes for those who want to try something different.
Perfect for me (a beginner!!) to learn traditional cooking and then incorporate it into modern recipes and i imagine this would have some great ideas in for more experienced cooks as well!
Fantastic!
