Format:Hardcover
I have loads of cookbooks. This is the one I use most often.
The first 30 pages are the basics such as how to freeze, how to prepare, how to flavour, spices and general food safety.
The rest of the book (more than 500 pages) are the recipes. Each page generally has 2 recipes (including picture) so there's a lot here to try.
The best feature of the book is at the start of each chapter. There is a pictorial index of the recipes. This is split into "time taken to cook" (in 30 minute intervals). There is a small picture of the dish, description, how many it serves, calories per serving and the page number. Simple yet so useful.
Overall this is a superb book and I would recommend it to everyone.

This cookbook was the one that enabled a 30 year old male teacher to become so interested in cooking that he cooks better than he ever expected in his wildest dreams.
To me, cooking is all about combining maximum of flavour and minimum of fuss. This masterpiece by Mary Berry does all that.
She keeps her recipies simple and understandable, uses well judged descriptions of what to do - and her sauces are to die for!!!
Buy this Book - it's the only cookbook you'll really ever rely upon.

Format:Hardcover
This book is the best general cookery book I've ever come across. My mother had a copy that she refused to give me, so I was forced to buy my own, but it was worth every penny!
An index section at the start of each category shows a small photo of each dish along with a brief description, there are full colour photographs of every dish on the recipe pages, and the recipes are easy-to-follow. At the start of each category there is also a section explaining how to carry out the basic preparation needed for the following recipes, for example how to bone a chicken or how to make basic pastry dough.
Despite the fact that everything is made so simple, the recipes featured will enable you to shine at any dinner party or family meal, because there is nothing basic about the food that you'll produce. This book gets 5 stars from me, and I'd give it more if I could!
