Not pretentious - just good, easy food(Rating: 5)
I got this book as a gift for Christmas and have already cooked some great meals from it. I'm quite good at cooking, and I do enjoy cooking for others but I tend to be somewhat unadventurous when it comes to cooking for myself. I have often bought cookery books hoping to be inspired, only to find them full of meals that to be honest I'm never gonna cook! This book however, is full of simple, appetising, healthy recipes with ingredients I already have in my cupboards. The instructions are basic and very clear, using everyday language, yet not patronising either.

This is definitely accessible for beginners, cheap simple ingredients for students, and inspirational to all - experienced or otherwise. A great buy - in fact I will buy it for my brother and his new wife right now!

Pass it on, it's worth it.(Rating: 5)
This book is great my 19yr old daughter and I love it, it's simple and easy to follow and the recipes always taste great. Some can work out a little expensive when on a low budget but just substitute cheaper versions of what it asks for.

This book is amazing! As an avid non cooker I bought this book to try and learn some basics. The recipes I have tried have been easy and delicious, even as someone who has not cooked before I found it accessible and straight forward to follow.

Great book for everyone(Rating: 5)
