Customer Reviews

Absolutely essential for everyone.
This book should undoubtedly have 5 stars. If you're not sure which cookbook to buy then this is it. It has a fantastic picture index in the front which makes it quick and easy to pick a dish you wish to cook. Then, when you turn to the relevant page there are more pictures and explanations...none of this business that some other cook books have, where you have to guess how the finished product should look! My Mum bought me a copy of this book about 5 years ago and has always wanted one of her own ever since, this Christmas I finally managed to locate one on this website - and an updated version at that! The cooking actually comes out like the picture! This book has so many receipies, encompassing all foods - it's great.I've tried about 20 so far, where as with all other cookery books I've bought, I'm lucky if I do 3! There are vegetarian dishes also but I was so impressed with this book, that I'm going to order the veggie book also.

A must-have for every serious but busy cook
I am ordering this book because the copy I was given in 1993 is falling apart! It's the first book I turn to for good, reliable, imaginative but not elaborate dishes. When I want to concoct a delicious dish for friends on Friday night, after work, after squeezing in Sainsburys, after putting the kids to bed......this book's my bible. Many of my husband's favourites came from this book - Chicken with lemon and sage, Chicken with spicey tomato sauce, smoked mackerel pate and lots of other gems. If you like Delia, Katie Stewart, Josceline Dimbleby, and (bless her) Marguerite Patten, and aspire to Gary Rhodes, Jamie Oliver etc... (but only rarely have the time - and let's face it who ever really orders sausage skins in advance from their local butcher to make - probably delicious - home made steak and kidney sausages) then this will sit very happily on your shelf.

It does exactly what it says on the cover!!
"Good Housekeeping" Step-by-step Cookbook enables all of us to create any of the 750 delicious recipes detailed in the book. It is brilliant for young couples just married as it provides helpful hints on all aspects of cooking from handling meat to cooking eggs!! A great buy for any budding chef.
