Full of excellent recipes, which have obviously been thoroughly tested, because my husband has so far managed to produce three sumptuous Sunday lunches from this book: coq au vin, roast beef with yorkshires and lastly, mushroom and haddock pie (in case you were wondering). Really superb results from a man who has been sorely tested by other, generally male, often less-reliable celebrity cooks. I myself have made the blackberry souffle and the venison casserole, to rave reviews.
The recipes aren't overly fancy or exotic, but they do allow you that smug feeling when you cook something that tastes great.
