I have too many cookery books and a couple of months ago I decided that enough was enough. Then I saw this in the 'coming soon' category and I thought that just one more wouldn't hurt. So I succumbed.
And I'm so glad that I did. There are so many mouth-watering recipes here and the instructions are clear. I particularly liked the introduction to each section where some recipes were highlighted with a brief description and estimated cooking times. The number of vegetarian recipes was particularly welcome, but since I also cook meat for my family there is nothing here which is superfluous.
I would like to think that I do not really need the hints and tips but I'm sure that I will learn something when I get around to reading them. They are certainly clear and comprehensive and, let's face it, Mary Berry has forgotten more than I will ever know.
The book does not contain (as far as I have seen) a huge number of advanced dishes but there are so many specialist books on the market that that is not a great loss. If I have one criticism it is the size and weight of this book. But how could it be otherwise?
I am about to order a second copy for my daughter before my eldest granddaughter pinches my own copy. She (and her younger sister) are becoming keen cooks and I cannot think of any better book to broaden their horizons.
Do I sound over-enthusiastic? Please do not take that amiss, this book will not disappoint and I am sure that most buyers will come to regard it as a treasure.

If you're just starting out and want to get the basics right then this book is an absolute winner for you. The recipes are simple, methods are clearly laid out, ingredients are easy to source, and easy to handle, and you'll gain some useful practical skills if you follow the directions. There's plenty of content, lots of illustrations and the whole concept of the book is "keep it simple". However; if, like me, you're no stranger to the kitchen, and you've been cooking for a number of years, you're going to be disappointed. The book was a gift and not something I'd have bought for myself and, to be absolutely honest, as an experienced cook I glanced through once and then put it away. Just another attempt by a publishing company to capitalise on Mary's current TV popularity, and I don't blame her one bit, but if you already have a couple of half decent cookery books then you probably don't need this one.

The recipes are clearly written and set out; the cook's tips are a very helpful addition. This book would make a wonderfully useful gift for a new cook.

Mary Berry's Complete Cookery Course
Probably the best cookery book I have used. This is an updated copy as my original is falling to pieces. This one is great as it tells you how many calories are in each recipe.
