I have the 1968 version of this book, very dog eared now, from when I first married and have bought copies for my children when they set up house for themselves. It's a brilliant book especially for those just starting out in cookery, but remains a valued friend. You'll only replace it when you wear it out, and then with the updated version.

There are all sorts of words I could use to describe this book and they all amount to the same thing. That is: that I have consistently found this book easy to understand, the recipies all consistently work and look and taste the way that they are supposed to. The writers never assume that you know all the obscure terminology to do with cooking. I have had my copy for 12 years and it is referred to for anything from cooking times for meat, to what should I do for the next dinner party. A definite must for the average person who gets lost in other cookery books. Weights and measures are in metric and imperial for those of us who haven't completly embraced the 21st century yet. All the best of British traditional recipies plus many others.

I cannot praise this book highly enough - every home should have one! I have used this book thoroughly and thrown away many fancy chef's books. I am vegetarian and regularly use the meat recipes - replacing the meat with veggie alternatives. The recipes go from the simple with a few ingredients to more complicated; clearly explained all the way through with tips and advice.
The book starts with explanations of all the ingredients: meat, pulses, vegetables, dairy products, etc; then progresses from soups and starters, main meals (meat, fish, vegetarian, for one, etc), accompaniments, hot, cold and frozen deserts, cakes, breads, sweets and finishes with drinks. I have found endless inspiration from this book and now refer to it and have confidence to adapat the recipes to what is available in my kitchen - knowing that I will have something tasty at the end of it. I am no Cordon Bleu cook - the total oppositte, but have managed to produce a 6 course Christmas dinner, using recipes from the book.
