5.0 out of 5 stars If you buy one recipe book buy this!, 24 Jul 2002
By A Customer
This is the recipe book that your mother neglected to pass down to you. Our family of four can now happily live on forty pounds grocery bill a week. Our food tastes ten times as good, and there is ten times the amount.
The actual book is spiral bound (so you don't need to stick a jammy spoon in it to keep it open! There are favourite authentic recipes from contributors all over the world and, to celebrate its twenty-fifth anniversary there are comments throughout by users of the recipes giving tips on substitutions and options. This makes the book extremely easy to use (you will always have the ingredients in the house to make some recipe!).
The recipes do use American 'cups', teaspoons, and tablespoons rather than weights so it is worth finding a cheap plastic jug with these written on (or finding out the equivalent on your own jug).
Many recipes are coded TS (time-saving)for when you want a cheap and fast dinner/lunch.
The book was commisioned by the Menonite Christian community who are similar to the Amish but more open to the world. I am not a Christian but this book is an inpiration to anyone interested in making the most of their own and the wider world's scarce resources.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only cookbook I use regularly, 19 Nov 2003
By A Customer
especially as a lot of the receipes work even if you don't have the exact ingredients! For those of us with a busy lifestyle (and therefore not enough time to follow Delia) it offers plenty of inspiration how to produce a quick and interesting meal on a Thursday night when the fridge is virtually empty.

5.0 out of 5 stars A challenging book to think about., 12 Feb 2003
By J. E. M. Kneale "Angel Jem" (Liverpool, Merseyside United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
I waited a couple of years for the reprint of this book and wasn't sure I'd like it when I got it. How wrong I was! Commissioned by the Mennonites, a simple living branch of Christianity, it aims to encourage all of us to think about the world's resources and not to squander them. Part testimony, part bible study, all cookbook, if there is a thing you want to make that isn't in here, it's probably not that good for you and the world. It has made me re-focus on what I prepare and why; that food is sustenance and love but not a showing-off sort of love. I thoroughly recommend it as a mainstay of the kitchen library for anyone practising frugality or ecology or simply biblical principles.
