Am I missing something here!,

This review is from: Hamlyn All Colour Cookbook 200 One Pot Meals: 200 One Pot Recipes (Paperback)
I bought this book months ago and it has to be one of the best on my book shelf! What I could not understand were all the negative reviews. Looking more closely - seeing as so many referred to breadmakers - I realise they are reviewing the wrong book. This is 200 one pot meals, not 200 bread recipes! How did this happen. These recipes are superb, easy to follow and every one I have made has been a huge hit with the family. I don't even recall seeing a bread recipe in it!

About
==== This fantastic collection of 200 one-pot recipes is actually very good despite the fact that the recipes are not just "chuck-all-the-ingredients-into-one-pot-and-leave-until-ready", as one would expect by the title. Many of them use a few other pots and pans first, and include the use of a food processor, the hob, and THEN the `one pot' in the oven, so they are a little bit deceiving, but a great collection, nevertheless. I like Hamlyn / Hachette UK books, so this is an old and trustyworthy name for me to see where cookbooks are concerned, and this tiny fault doesn't spoil that feeling I get when I see their name. The Recipes ========== I found the recipes are mostly full of easy to pick up ingredients. The meals are fed to us in chunks of Poultry and Game, fish and meat and they truly are delicious recipes. I've had fun trying them out, and although I'm not usually a whiz in the kitchen, I gave a very good impression of one, I have to say! If someone had caught me in a headlock and insisted I choose a favourite, it would have to be their version of "Coq au Van", with the "Thai Chicken Pot Roast", and the "Goats Cheese and Pepper Lasagne" coming a close 2nd and 3rd place. Layout of Book =========== This is a pocket-sized book, which I like, and Hamlyn have so many of these `All Colour' titles to choose from, I think this makes them highly collectible as they are not only very useful but look good on the shelf, too. The recipes are straightforward and easy to understand. The ingredients (metric and imperial) and servings are in a column on the left hand side of the page, with the method next to it. The facing this, on the opposite side of the page is a bright full colour picture of the finished (supposedly) one pot meal. And I've got to give it to them, these mouth-watering photos do make me want to try each and every recipe out. Overall ====== I do enjoy this series of cookbooks and I'm very keen to collect some more. It's a shame this book is not totally `one pot' based, as - with my busy schedule - I would have enjoyed the ease and quickness of having so many of these types of recipes to choose from. That said, I cannot complain about these actual recipes and I will enjoy watching my collection grow on my cook book shelf in my kitchen.

Does not contain 200 meals,

This review is from: Hamlyn All Colour Cookbook 200 One Pot Meals: 200 One Pot Recipes (Paperback)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
There is a very serious error in the book's title of "200 one pot meals". In fact, the book contains only 107 meals, plus a few footnoted optional substitutes (e.g. chicken instead of pork). Some of the recipes describe optional accompaniment dishes, but these are all part of the same meal. I am amazed the publishers believe they can get away with such misleading advertising.The "one pot" element of the title is also rather misleading: depending on the recipe, the "pot" may end up being a roasting tray, a casserole dish or a frying pan; and various other saucepans and mixing bowls are frequently required along the way. Such a broad interpretation means that the book can cover almost everything from a roast dinner to a curry; from a soup to a risotto, all somewhat tenuously held together by the supposed use of a single cooking vessel. That said, the meals are nicely presented, with each occupying a double-page spread: text on the left and a clear colour photo on the right. Some of the meals are quite ambitious, requiring a significant number of ingredients and familiarity with various cooking techniques. This is not one for the complete novice. Overall, a nice collection of recipes, but with a slightly forced theme to the book.
