Customer Reviews

Finally! A book for real families.
I can't praise this book enough.

I have accumulated plenty of cook books over the years that have been slowly gathering dust, as the receipes in them just don't fit my busy family life.
This book is different. Here, you will find a no nonsense practical approach to cooking affordable nutritious meals for the family, as well as hits and tips on tempting fussy children without giving them junk food.

You will not find gourmet recipes to feed a dinner party.
You will not find long lists of ingredients and even longer lists of preparation details.
What you will find are recipes for tasty meals with a minimum of fuss, and simple ingredients that are readily available.

I could go on and on about this book. Just take my advice. If you are the cook in a family or feeling the pinch or just generally too pushed for time to bother cooking decent food, buy this book!

It seems to work!
A great book; it guides you through the week with shopping lists and menus without being overly prescriptive. I would recommend this book to any one that is attempting to work and feed a young family at the same time.

If you only buy one cook book - buy this one!
This book is a witty and entertaining read, as well as being a good cook book. The recipes are great. Every one I have tried has worked well and tasted delicious. I can't wait to try some more.

A much better book than Jamie Oliver's Ministry of Food, which I bought at the same time.
