Product Description

'I have had many bad experiences with cooking. Cooking too little, too much, putting the wrong combinations together, cut fingers, burnt food, sleeves and skin, hot oil, splattered clothes, burnt tongues and teary eyes from onions and smoke. And I still enjoy it!' Miranda Shearer wrote this book for her boyfriend, Tom. He was missing home cooking at university and was keen to learn how to cook. Miranda enthusiastically shares her knowledge, unfallingly creating delicious and well-balanced meals using recipes that can be easily followed by even the most inexperienced cook. Aged 18, memories of learning and disastrous results are not too far away, and she writes with great humour, knowing exactly how to coax a novice cook through any tricky stages.

Fun easy cooking
This book is bright and colourful. The dishes shown inside are just as exciting with such varity for every occasion. The recipies are simple to follow and first hand advice provided by the author is really usefull. One negative point is it would be a perfect book if there were photographs of the dishes to help wet your appetite and inspire you to cook.
