5.0 out of 5 stars Great recipes with clear instructions 10 Oct 2011
By C. Bannister TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Having purchased Lorraine Pascal's previous book Baking Made Easy I was keen to try this one. This is even better thanks to the inclusion of more pictures.

The recipes are inventive and varied, it is lovely to try different flavours without having to give up because the ingredients aren't readily available. The book follows the logical order of:
Starters,Soups,Canapes & Snacks
Breads
Mains
Vegetables & Vegetarian
Deserts
Cakes & Cookies
Sweets, Jams & Other Good Stuff
all with pictures and full fool-proof instructions. I have already tried the Bacon & Mature Chedder Cheese twisties along with the Paprika baked sweet potato wedges with honey-glazed bacon & herby creme fraiche. Both were absolutely delicious and disappeared extremely quickly. There are many recipes that appeal to me so I'm sure this book will be as well used and enjoyed as her previous one.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ok, but... 3 Dec 2011
By MrsMummy
Format:Hardcover
I haven't cooked much from this book yet - the recipes I have done have been fine, BUT I'm not sure whether an editor has been anywhere near this book. One recipe calls for the oven to be preheated, but it's never actually used in the recipe. Another asks you to fry some potatoes and set them aside, but they are never added to the final dish. And those are just the ones I've noticed so far. Perhaps watching the series was essential to understanding the book. I don't doubt the ability of the chef, but the book is not brilliantly put-together, meaning you have to guess a few of the steps. Personally, as a disliker-of-pears, I find there are far too many recipes which contain pears.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great recipes but some directions are far too vague! 27 Nov 2011
By Vikkiekaye
Format:Hardcover
Generally I love amost of the recipes I have tried in Lorraine's book. It's great to have been inspired by many recipes and her natural enthusiasm (sometimes I have been inspired to the point of obsession!)
With Christmas coming, I've been impressed with a few turn outs that an pass off as special presents, presented in jars etc- the marshmallow fudge (foolproof) is a must!!
However, why I feel I cannot honour it 5/5, the book has frustrated me from time to time with some of the vague instructions- one example comes to mind, "bake until smell cooked," which isn't exactly useful, alongside an approx cooking time.
Hopefully my feedback will help perfect Lorraine's future books, which I still look forward to buying!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Excellent Cookbook 27 Oct 2011
By Leolady
Format:Hardcover
I bought this book as soon as I heard about it as I bought Lorraine's previous book Baking Made Easy and this one is just as good. The recipes are easy and simple to follow - the photographs stunning - making me want to try each recipe as I turn the pages over. Was not sure if the 21st Century Bread would work without yeast but I was not disappointed - it was lovely. If like me you are a simple cook - liking uncomplicated recipes - then this is the book for you

5.0 out of 5 stars Home Cooking Made Easy 15 Dec 2011
By Phoebs
Format:Hardcover
I am twelve years old and Lorraine Pascale is the chef that I first got interested in cooking from her 'Baking Made Easy' book, I started out baking and then I started cooking every Friday after school for dinner. I loved her 'Baking Made Easy' and I was incredibly excited when 'Home Cooking Made Easy' came out and have been very successful with it, the chocolate fudge has become my friend's favourite and I recently made it for them as xmas pressies - they LOVED it. Being a inexperienced cook this book is perfect for me as it is very detailed and clear, e.g. cook the onions on a medium heat. For me this book is so much better than the others, as it has a chapter on main dishes and as I am cooking them all the time I now have plenty to choose from. She is a clever and imaginitive chef and I believe anyone would be blessed to have this book.

I have read some other book reviews and have been disappointed that some customers are unsatisfied with this book, so for those that are unsure after reading the mixed reviews, I say give this book a go as there are plenty of recipes and you are guaranteed to like at least 10 recipes (If I'm wrong - don't blame me)

In my eyes, she is an absolute legend and I love the TV series. My only complaint would be that on a few recipes she used shop brought ingredients, e.g Winter Swiss Roll Bowl Cake is made with SHOP BROUGHT chocolate swiss rolls and SHOP BROUGHT ice cream which I think is more assembeling something rather than making. However, that is only on a few recipes and the others are wonderfully created.

Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic second book - highly recommended - A ***** 4 Oct 2011
By bananasplit_2011
Format:Hardcover
Very excited to receive my copy of Lorraine's new book on Saturday. Knowing how impressive and easy to follow the recipes were in the first book, I picked a few recipes from the new book to make that evening when having people over for dinner. I made the "creamy pancetta pasta with mushroom and parmesan" with a rocket salad and "my big fat tipsy trifle" for dessert. They were both so easy to make and they looked amazing! Usually when I am cooking for a few people, I really stress myself out but the the recipes are so easy to follow - all of the ingrediants were easily found in my local supermarket and Lorraine describes how to do each step very simply, yet still the finished products look so complicated and skilfully made. My mates were very impressed - ha! Lorraine is my secret weapon!
