I discovered this book whilst in Australia but could not afford it there (OZ being so expensive in 2012) and was also worried about adding more weight to my luggage. Knowing I could get it cheaper from Amazon I waited until we returned to the UK. As always, my wife and I were so impressed with the quality of food, the combinations and the presentation of food in Australia, everywhere you go food is just so important, particularly in Melbourne and most often in the simplest of places. Although we came back with many ideas and notes this book just sums up the joy of food preparation and eating and saved us the bother of making even more notes. As to the detail of the book there is no point in repeating Kate's comments, she is absolutely right and has covered it perfectly. The book is a joy to own and use.
I use this book almost weekly and that has to be the best thing you can say about a cookery book. In fact we are having the parmesan crusted chicken tonight! There are a few recipes I gleaned from this book that I used loads while single that I now use for me and my husband too, and he is pretty picky. The only downside of this book is the measures are not UK, so given in cups, etc, but I think there is a conversion table at the back. Also, some ingredients are given international names (bug tails) but alternatives are given too.
The recipes are simple, and not deceptively so, and beautifully photographed (I never understand why people complain if their dish doesn't look like the pic - it takes photographers and professional food hygienists/stylists to make it look like that, people!)
The organisation by time rather than dish is great, so you're never tempted to take on a recipe you won't have time to complete. And the quickest and simplest dishes you won't even need the book for after a while. I have owned this book for more than five years and still have tons of recipes to try. I can't say that about anything other than perhaps a few much-loved Jamie books. I adore this boook and the fact it covers everything from indulgent puds and posh-looking mains to simple fresh and low-fat dishes.
More like it, please!
