Customer Reviews

Good recipes to feed your whole family
Once again, Rachel has written a book with recipes that you will actually be able to use in everyday life, not just when you've got the time to do some specialist shopping and spend hours in the kitchen. The book is called "favourite food at home" and that's just what you get, if you're looking for something more fiddly or to impress your guests with your brilliant cooking techniques, you should look somewhere else (Gary Rhodes is my tip here). But if all you want is good family meals, this book really gives you a wide variety of choice and you won't be dissapointed. Of course, you've got to have a basic knowledge of cookery to succeed, but that's the case with practically every cookery book apart from those (often quite boring) step-by-step things or a real beginner's book. By the way - if your muffins turn out like horrible litte stones, you probably stirred them too well. Leaving the dough a bit lumpy is usually the trick to get the best results. I know that sounds a bit strange, but it's true all the same.

Most used cookbook I own...
I love this book - I've cooked so many recipes from it and they all turn out great. I love Rachel's approach - there's too many tv chefs who use tv to show off their restaurant food, yet fewer and fewer people cook at home. This book is full of easy, great food you can cook at home for everyday meals. If you are having friends round, try the lamb tagine recipe - it's to die for!

MMMMMMM super
mmmmm lovely......mmmmmm perfect........mmmmmm gorgeous at least with the book you don't have to listen to her. recipes are ok but nothing new and nothing delia hasn't done better
