This book is chocolate for the eyes.
At first glance this book is like candy for the eyes. Originally I bought it as a gift and then ended up buying one for myself too.
The format of the book is it selling point, it is a great simple format and straight forward to follow. It is also refreshing to have a book that does not overwhelm you with complicated instructions - the recipes are easy to follow in their simple, well written way. Another big plus is the photography is fantastic too and really makes your mouth water!!
I have made a couple of things from it so far and each one has turned out well especially the deserts (the trifle is fab!!).
So if your bored of the bog standard cookery books this book is a real find - great to look at - easy to follow and of course the main thing being the food is deliciously different.

Excellent!!
