I bought Ruth Watson's last book and really liked it. This latest one is full of recipes for 8 people which is fabulous as I really like entertaining and they're exactly the kind of food my friends and family like eating. I made the lemon tart and the roast lamb on Sunday and they were both fantastic. They are also clearly written and explained. I like starters so was slightly disappointed that all the recipes in this chapter are for delicatessan type food, but they're useful if you haven't got time to cook a whole 3 course meal. I also like the humour Ruth Watson brings to the book. It's a good read too.

At last someone has written a book that means I do not have to spend all day in the kitchen while everyone else enjoys themselves. Unlike most chef's cookbooks this one has recipes that even a modest cook like me can follow and carry out successfully. Ruth Watson's style of writing is humorous and never dull. I can think of at least five family and friends who will be getting this book for Christmas - they really need it.
