Never before have so many people wanted to cook and experiment with food in their own homes. Worried by the credit crunch, horror stories of excessive salt, fat and sugar in ready meals, the rise in obesity and the questionable source of many foods, home cooks want to get cracking in their own kitchens. The lot of the home cook is a world away from that of the professional chef. We're usually on our own - planner, shopper, table layer, cook, washer-up and of course, host when entertaining. We need to keep it simple and get ahead as much as possible. Getting ahead means less stress, more time to enjoy friends and family and less washing up at the end. Make It Easy is a collection of delicious, easy recipes that can be prepared in advance, making cooking for friends a stress-free and fun experience. Ranging from simple starters to quick suppers to more elaborate meals, all the dishes are contemporary, seasonal and fresh and aim to keep ingredients to a minimum. From chilled cucumber, prawn and mint soup to Parma ham, goat's cheese and pesto parcels to braised steak with mustard and capers, the book is packed with inspirational recipes all of which are explained in a lively and informative way.

A book that enables the real, somewhat faffing and flustered (or is that just me?), cook create delicious food for family and friends. From comfort dishes like a succulent roast belly of pork to snappy suppers like sea bass with chorizo and butter beans, the recipes I've tried so far have been easy to buy for, prepare and serve. What's more they have been extremely good to eat. Following Jane's accompanying hints and tips is like having a more experienced cook in the kitchen, holding your hand every inch of the way. And her guidance on preparing stuff ahead is invaluable for the cook who wants to sit down and enjoy a glass of wine with their guests before dinner. I predict that this is one cook book that won't gather dust on your bookshelf; a real stayer, full of advice and inspiration.

Just bought this fantastic new book. Jane really shows you how 'To Make it Easy'. This book is a must if you want an easier life in the kitchen. Packed with fantastic simple, but stylish, fresh recipes and endless invaluable cooking tips to make cooking stress free! The book shows you how to make your food delicious and look stunning without having to slave away for hours. So much can be done in advance, with detailed instructions on how to achieve this. I can't recommend it more highly.

A veritable feast of flavour and colour packed with tasty recipes to excite any palate....I want to try them all! So far family favourites are Swedish Salmon, Tartiflette, Roast Belly of Pork, Sausage Apple and Onion Lattice Pie, Stem Ginger Ice Cream and Lemon Posset (heavenly!). The book is packed with hints and tips which do as the title says and make it easy for the home cook so that being in the kitchen is a pleasure and not a stressful chore. The author is very generous in sharing her tips with us rather than keep them as trade secrets. The recipes are easy to follow with clear instructions on how much can be prepared in advance. Above all the book is bright, fresh and contemporary. The recipes I've tried so far have all been attractive to look at but most of all.......delicious to eat!
