Customer Reviews

A Wonderful Book
Bought this book and it was an excellent tie-in to the series on TV. The receipes are easy to follow with wonderful results. I would recommend this to anyone who loves cooking, and trying new and different tastes and textures.

Good no nonsense range of recipes
Excellent range of recipes most of which are not difficult or time consuming to do. Most can be done quite quickly and/or do not need constant supervision or fiddly preparation. Down to earth writing with tips for variations and ways to dress up the recipes for entertaining. Will definately be buying her next book which is already on my wishlist!

A book you will use!
I was bought this book for Christmas last year and have used it again and again. These are recipes that are not just used when you entertain. Some are really quick and easy, just what you need when you get in from work. I would recommend this book with no hesitation. In fact, this year I was bought Rachel's new book for Christmas! I'll let you know how I get on with that one!
