Product Description

We all love to eat well and enjoy the freshest, lightest ingredients, but who wants to spend hours on complicated recipes? Mary Berry – who tests every dish until it is foolproof – uses clever ideas and smart shortcuts to put your favourite flavours on the table in the shortest time. Why make pastry, pit olives or labour over onion chutney when first-class products are available. Concentrate instead on fresh vegetables, top-quality fish and meat, and the little extras – a parcel of young shoots or some chocolate flakes – that give the finished dish a lift.

Mary’s easy-to-follow recipes and tips give you mouthwatering meals that won’t take hours.

Great new recipes in this new book
Had this book for a few weeks now and I am delighted to say that it has some brilliant new recipes that really work!! I have previously sworn by the Complete cook book from Mary Berry and this new one is just as great! All the recipes it features are really quick and easy to prepare.

The only drawback, is that unlike the Complete cook book this one doesn't have a picture of each meal. I'm not a natural cook, and I only follow what the recipe says, but it is nice to see what I'm supposed to be creating...

Otherwise, what it great with the Mary Berry cook books is that the recipes always work, and this is no different. Highly recommended.

quick, easy and delicious
I love this book as the recipes are quick to make, don't require thousands of ingredients, and taste delicious. Instructions are easy to follow and you can prepare most of the meals in advance for the next day, when you just pop them in the oven for the required time.

Quality food that can be prepared quickly
This book is excellent. It is full of simple wholesome recipes. Everything can be made with easy to obtain ingredients and the results are always fantastic.

Some of my favourite recipes include:

White Chocolate Cheesecake
Lasagne al Forno (made with pork rather than beef)
Red Thai Curry with lime

If you work long hours, but want to cook/eat decent food, this book is perfect.
