Customer Reviews

Loads of recipes, and not so stuck up anymore
This is a beautiful cookbook with lots of great recipes and mouth-watering pictures. The approach to cooking is simpler than in Nairn's earlier books, making it easier to follow for those of us who have to make do with a less than perfectly equipped kitchen.

The emphasis is on achieving great tasting meals with the use of fresh ingredients. Perfect for those of us brought up on mum's home cooking and wanting to keep the best of tradition and yet be a bit more adventurous when it comes to using spices and herbs.

Any Nick Nairn fan will enjoy this book.

What a great book!
I use this book all the time and several recipes have become staple meals in our house, try the cauliflower cheese soup - so easy but utterly delicious; or the baked cod on spring onion mash - real gastropub stuff but again so easy. And it's stuffed with little tips which influence your own cooking - I always do my roast potatoes a la Nick now! This book has really made me fall in love with cooking.

You don't have to be Scottish to enjoy this book!
This is a great cookery book with a real mix of recipes that will appeal to all palates. Although Nick Nairn emphasises the use of Scottish ingredients, I'm sure that virtually everything can be found in most UK supermarkets, so buy this book with confidence even if you live south of the border. Rest assured there is no mention of haggis - the Scottish things are all yummy stuff like salmon and raspberries.

The recipes are pretty straightforward - a good thing for me as I am not in any way an accomplished cook. My sons could not wait to help me make the chocolate tart.
