Product Description
Woman & Home
'In his typical laid-back, no-nonsense style, James extols the virtues of cheese on toast, delicious soups, classic roasts, risotto, fish cakes and, of course, truly delectable desserts. With beautifully photographed food, and rather good shots of the boy himself, this book is a must.'
Heat
'Swoon-inducing cover aside, the contents of this book really do deliver. It's perfect for anyone who has just discovered they love to cook and wants an arsenal of classic, knock 'em dead, super-tasty dishes that don't require a science degree to make.'

Format:Hardcover
Another excellent book from James martin, with nice little notes above each recipe about why he has included them. You'll find roast beef and yorkshire puds, lamb curry and a multitude of tasty deserts from jam roly poly to treacle sponge. The recipes are easy to follow and the pictures are nice. My one gripe (and it cost you a star James!) is that some recipes only take up half a page, and then you have a blank half page - could have put an images of the dish in there because not every dish has a picture. Also, to take up half a page with 'bacon sarnie' ingredients bacon, fresh bread and tomato ketchup seems a bit cheeky - I would have expected a bit of a variation on it for it to be included in a cook book. If you like Nigella Express you'll like this.

Format:Hardcover
i have hundreds of recipe books and pride myself on rating them all thoroughly and fairly. whilst i'm primarily an English hearty cook i like to also embrace worldwide foods and menus too. This book is I think, quintessentially British. I think it would be a great book for someone settling into a home for the first time, dabbling at cooking, etc. with simple to find ingredients and basic tools you will be able to cook up good hearty grub to feed either yourself well or your friends and family. i've made pretty much everything in the book and it all works just 100%. Some of the recipes are abit simple but hence is why i'd say its a great first timer book. its also written kind of manly so would make a great recipe book gift to a bloke without them feeling Delia'ized. Although its not titled a book based on english pub grub i would say its exactly that. the kind of meals you'd always see on specials board or most popular dishes of the day kind of thing. This chef is demonstrating unpretentious great food in this book and making it very doable for anyone to replicate.

This book is basically a Delia for the 21st century. Lots of practical things that you want to make/eat regularly compared to most books that you'd only ever use twice. Highly recommended.

Some people really miss the point
This is a great cook book for the uninitiated in the kitchen. James' recipes for bacon and sausage sarnies are totally tongue in cheek for all of you who slagged him off.. Read more

I feel insulted and slightly robbed!
I concede that there are a few good recipes in this book but certainly nothing that is particuarly new or exciting but on the other hand I never got passed page 22. Read more
