Editorial Reviews
Review
At last a truly user-friendly cookery manual, helpful rather than prescriptive, with food that is appetising rather than coldly textbook perfect. Lovely recipes and plenty of help for the new cook --Nigel Slater -Food Monthly
Her dishes are unpretentious, delicious, made with fresh ingredients and dictated by the seasons --Country Life
It's time to clear the kitchen shelves of all those glossy cookbooks you never open and make way for the Ballymaloe Cookery Course it s the only one you ll need from now on --The English Home

Modern day mrs beatons
I could get rid of all my cookery books as long as I still had this one. Everything you'll ever need to know in here!
A pleasure to read, and very very useful
This book has been invaluable for me. I have used it every day since buying it.
Darina has a way of talking you through a recipe as if she is right there in the kitchen, and believe me there is a recipe for everything.
The book ranges from meat to veg and fruit to breads soups sauces jams and pickles and everything in between.
Many recipes have a mother recipe, for example pesto, and then variations.
My most favourite recipe so far has been the vanilla ice cream, and I have a phobia of mixing hot syrup with egg yolks, but Darina shows you how to stop it making sweet scrambled eggs.
A great buy for everyone.
Enjoy!
Does everything!
I have read through a copy of this book and found it great so I am now going to buy it. The recipes include all the basics as well as interesting variations. It tells you things like how to cook prawns and doesnt expect you to know evertyhing before you start.
