I found this book whilst on self catering holiday on the cottage owner's bookshelf. I purchased it immediately on my return (although I've shelves of cook books!). I've tried many of the recipes savoury and sweet - Baby Fruit Cakes, Lemon Posset, Salmon Egg Tarts to name a few, which I've made countless times. All recipes enjoyed by everyone and easy to make. It's such a lovely, clearly presented, 'browse-able' book for even non-cooks I've bought it for 2 friends at Christmas - both thrilled. It is now the first cookery book I go to every time, when looking for something new and easy that won't fail!
