Knife Skills - What a con!!
Bought this book as I'm a big fan of Marcus Wareing. However this book is just a complete rip off "The Cooks Book". Same publisher. Same photos. Will be returning this item. DO NOT BUY!

hmmmmm
Concur with the others. A self confessed cook book junkie and owner of The Cooks Book, I was more than disappointed with this. There are far better skills books on the market - if that's what you're looking for Nick Nairn's cooking school has a brilliant new one. If you don't have The Cooks Book -I'd pick that over this book as is better value and has much more info...

Disappointed
I can only echo the other review here, I was truly hoping to get another great book packed full of tips but it is a rehash of info from the excellent "The Cooks Book" Save your money don't buy this.
