    These recipes are tried and tested and are easy to follow and turn out great.
    I haven't done a recipe that's not turned out good yet.
    The photography is great and it's a good compact sized recipe book so it doesn't take up much room.
    I originally bought 3 copies straight off when I first saw it years ago, one for myself and the others for my friends at work.
    They also use it alot - the Nutella recipe is great - all in one bowl and oh, so chocolatey!!!
    The mince pies is another hit. I've never made pastry before and this is the first time I've tried it, this year as a practice run, as I am hopeless at pastry and it was a hit!
    This copy, I bought for a young lady that is very dear to me, almost like my own daughter and she has just taken to baking and I thought I would send her a copy all the way to Prague as it's one recipe book for baking that every woman should have, (besides the Be-ro book)!!!

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 July 2012

    I am an absolute novice in Baking and have never baked a cake except once. The only thing I tried before I bought this book was a Basic Sponge cake, which came out okay. I am not too sure about how long my newfound love and enthusiasm for Baking would last, so I wasn't keen on splurging money on a cook book and wanted a rather basic book (after all, you can find all sorts of recipes online these days)! Once again, Amazon reviews have come out trumps as they were the reason I chose this book. And am I glad! I have already baked Coconut Cake, Carrot Cake, Shortbread and neither of these lasted more than 2 days! All this coming from someone who has baked a cake only once in my life before.. Absolutely recommended.

    The book itself is compact, and easy to handle while in the kitchen. The format is simple, and neatly laid out with the recipe on one side and the accompanying photo on the other. The book is split into sections like Large cakes, Loaf Cakes, Muffins, Cookies, Flapjacks etc. The range of recipes is impressive and all of the recipes look achievable and not overwhelming. I am really looking forward to making some muffins this weekend. :)

    I bought this book in order to find easy and practical recipe, this book is more than i have expect, you can find all the ingredients easy, is very easy to understand, and very quick to make it, everybody love all the cake i have make from it, specially the Devonshire Honey cake =), and the better all the recipes in here are traditional English, so i no going to miss any more the opportunity to make the cakes for a special celebration like the Parkin for the Guy Fawkes' night.
    Other advantage is the sice is perfect, if i going away i can take in my hardback and no take too much space.
    If i recommend it, DEFINITELY, even if you no are a pastry chef you going to look like.

    I have had a copy of this book for about 3 years now and bought it again as a gift for my sister. It really is a great little book at an amazingly low price. I have tried just about all of the recipes in it and so far not one of them has failed. Some of the recipes such as the date and walnut loaf cake and the carrot cake are so popular with family and friends that I end up making them almost every week! I have got many baking books and this is by far the one I use most. Nice clear recipes with good pictures I highly recommend it.

    Fantastic little book which you'll actually use, not just leave sitting on your shelf hoping it'll look impressive! I received my copy on Christmas Day, it's now 3 days later and I've already cooked my first cake (Banana & Walnut Loaf) with a recipe from this book. I'll happily admit that I'm not a 'domestic goddess' but the instructions are so clear, the pictures are so enticing that you'll be dusting down your apron and cleaning off your cake tins. The range of recipes is huge - choc cakes, fruit cakes, loaf cakes, muffins, cookies and every one looks gorgeous and seems achievable. Perfect for the cake connoisseur or budding baker.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Get if you have a cupboard full of ground almonds!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 August 2013
    Verified Purchase
    Recipies in this book are rather similar with little varaety,alot of them call for ground almonds or other kind of nut.
    I like to try different recipies and i can honestly say that there is not even one recipe, variation of whitch i havent tried before,
    It would suit a begginer as recipies are easy to follow and hardly challenging;you'd still end up with yummy cakes if you enjoy bananas,nuts and dried fruit.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Yes, it's really Good Food
    Reviewed in the United States on 28 December 2012
    Verified Purchase
    The first recipe I tried from Good Food was raspberry brownies, from a Good Food magazine. The brownies were so good and everyone loved it. So much that I made it again and again, as desserts for my family (my elder kid even had it as breakfast) and also as gifts. So I when I picked one recipe to try from a Good Food cookbook, I had confidence. The first recipe I tried from this book was choca moca cake (chocolate + coffee). It turned out so good, very soft and delicious. Each recipe has a photo so you always know how the result will look like. I read through this book and so many other recipes look promising, and I marked a lot of them as "recipes I want to try". By the way, this is a British book so the recipes often call for self-raising flour. I hope you won't be put off by this because you can always substitute it with plain flour + baking powder + salt. All in all, this book is great for bakers.
