Format:Hardcover
It's the economics bit of this book I like the most. How to get the most out of, say, a chicken carcass - how to plan your meals and portions - where to buy - how many meals you'll get. It's more a philosophy of kitchen management with explanation of foods and some basic recipes thrown in. One can see it as the basis of a way of getting good real food, all the time, for less cost. Combined with other ideas like using farmers markets and co-operatives, together with, say, some inventive ideas for meals, it could be a really good way of spending less, eating great food and having some quality kitchen time.

This is a wonderful book. It covers not just a wonderful collection of 'basic', useful recipes to help you cook everyday and week to week, it also covers good shopping, and the difference between the different options - e.g. free-range and organic meat. One of the most useful aspects is the list of options for using up leftovers that goes with almost every recipe.
If you like such writers as Nigella Lawson, this is a must-have.

Undoubtedly the best cookery book to have come out this year, and that'll still be true at Christmas. Rose's writing combines passion and sensibility, and the Shopping Guide alone is worth the purchase price, which, at Amazon, is merely the price of 14 sliced supermarket loaves. The layout is pleasing, and there are no recipe photos (which tend to date the text) but the book is unwilling to lie open on the table (note to publishers: cook books are working manuals). Usually one finds a mere handful of tempting recipes in a new book; this one has many non-tricksy uncontrived ones which are just the food one longs to cook and eat.
