“I always like to think of my cooking as being Cordon Bleu made easy. I have cut out all the long processes, yet I do not need to rely on packets and convenience foods. I always like to use fresh season ingredients, as I think this is the best and healthiest way in which to feed my family and friends at home.

Cooking has changed throughout the years. Quick-frying or stir-frying are relatively new techniques, and sauces are lighter now – more than anything because of new ingredients like low-fat crème fraîche and fromage frais. These, plus the new yoghurts, have added so much to the flavours of foods and to the general excitement of eating. However, do not worry; before I even put pen to paper on this book, I went round all the big shops in London and major supermarkets near and far just to see what was available, and where. To me there is no point in writing a book if the ingredients I use are only available from rarefied sources. Everything I mention and cook with here should be readily available in your local good shops or supermarkets.”

5.0 out of 5 stars A trusted reliable friend, 25 Nov 2001
By A Customer
Each recipe in this book is a delight. The dishes are always delicious and the freeze/re-heat, make in advance sections at the end of each recipe make every busy cook's life so much easier. Every cook should take a leaf out of Mary Berry and add these helpful guides at the end of their recipes. Try the game casserole it is absolutely delicious and EVERYONE always asks me for the recipe of the double chocolate torte. Such a refreshing change from Delia!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, trustworthy recipes., 13 Dec 2000
By A Customer
I collect cookbooks, and have all the 'trendy' chef books, all the classics and all the Delia's. This book was a present from my mother and I was initially disgusted... so staid looking. I soon changed my ideas, her Canterbury tart is the best apple pie recipe I have ever tasted. EVERYONE that has tasted it has asked for the recipe! I especially recommend the mincepie recipe, amongst many others. The book has fantastic, easy and very tasty recipes for all occasions. They are really good recipes that you can depend on to turn out right...looking just like the photos! I do not know why this woman has not knocked Delia off her throne... shes brilliant!

5.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant time saving book, 17 Jul 2008
I have most of Mary's cookery books, and this is one of my favourites and it is used on a regular basis. Quite simply, there are hardly any silly recipes here - instead there are lots of economical, tasty, simple and time saving recipes. I think it is great that these recipes give you detailed guidelines on preparing ahead.

Mary has also included lots of basic tips, eg what to keep in your store cupboard, how to make a proper stock from a carcass to using your freezer. She has even included ideas for tasty sandwich fillings - far cheaper and tastier than ready made shop bought.

I have been making Mary's very best chocolate cake for years - Mary's right, everyone loves this cake; it is the best.
