A really useful cookbook

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 June 2012

I am highly sceptical of cookbooks - I have a shelf full of glossy, tempting dishes but when it comes down to it they all require bizarre ingredients and a fortnight to cook them. However, not so for Grandma's Quick & Thrifty cookbook. A flick through this book you will be saying "oh that looks nice, oh that looks nice too". These are all quite straightforward recipes, with straightforward ingredients. The book identifies quick to make recipes and also frugal recipes - particularly useful for students who are watching the pennies. There are sections addressing such things as sauces etc - again, really useful if you aren't the best of cooks and just need a simple guide. I love it and so far I've used it more times than any of my other cookbooks.

a cookbook that will get used

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 May 2014

I am a collector of cookbooks and most of the time I find that out of an entire book I only really want to cook a handful of recipes from it.This book is probably a rarity because I actually want to cook most of the recipes! I have tried so many of the recipes from this book and they are all delicious and easy to prepare. Our family favourites are the rissoles, chicken curry and chicken casserole. This book is full of simple but delicious looking meals that appeal to the whole family. As another review said, do not be put off thinking it is an old fashioned cookbook for grandmas. There are no fancy exotic recipes that take hours to prepare, just good honest tasty food.

This recipe cookbook works, everything i have attempted to cook and bake has had very good results and comments from friends, the recipes are easy to follow, the cooking baking timings seem approximately correct.
ive found i can make double quantity of curry, goulash to freeze for an easy meal so saves time and money.. the ginger loaf is pretty good too.
