Loads of different recipes including vegetarian
I really love most of the Good Food recipe books; they are normally jammed full of varied and flavoursome recipes for every occasion. They look and taste great yet are simple to make, with relatively few ingredients. This one does not disappoint.

This book is packed with loads of different recipes: main courses, simple suppers, veggie dishes, pasta bakes, noodles or low fat dishes; with choices from `Storecupboard Minestrone' and `Chicken Noodle Soup' to `Tuna pasta nicoise', `Pork and Rosemary lasagne' and `Aromatic Soy Pork'.

The recipes vary in cooking time from 20 minutes to over an hour for some of the pasta bakes, but they all have only 3 or 4 steps and are so basic that most people should be able to cook them. There really is something for everyone as long as you enjoy pasta and noodles! Plus there is a picture for every recipe so you know what you are getting, though they are not quite as impressive looking as some of the other Good Food recipes. And, because they are pasta and noodle based, they are mostly quite cheap to make. I don't always stick religiously to the recipes but what's great is that there are so many different ideas in the book that there is always something inspirational to make.

What I also really love is that the recipes each give you the calorie content and all nutritional information for each recipe at the bottom of each page, which is a standard for Good Food recipe books.

If you are looking for top cuisine then this book is not for you, but if you want easy, straightforward pasta and noodle recipes with loads of different recipes packed with flavour then this book is great.

Good Food Recipes.
My wife suffers from the effects of a couple of strokes. Before she retired she was a cook by trade but cannot cook anymore in fact she cannot even remember what to do! As a result I have to learn to cook and found it difficult to say the least. My daughter suggested a certain book and told me she had bought it from Amazon's. I tried this knowing that I would get good service, quick delivery and find it well packed. That is exactly what took place! Once again well done Amazon. The book has been very useful and I am beginning to cook properly and will try other books from this series.

tasty pasta dishes
I love pasta but am always stuck for ideas. This book is the ideal solution. Full of easy to use recipes and some vegetarian dishes as well. I tried one of the lasagne dishes out on some vegetarian friends who ate every bit of what I served to them and then came back for more! Recommended.
