Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Nice recipes, though hardly originalThe title says a lot really, there are some nice ideas in this book but they arn't very original (beef burgers arn't original, but nice to have some advice on them). I havn't tried many recipes yet but neither was hardly impressive (to me, hot choc made of 70% cocoa just tastes a bit bland, dark Galaxy though is much better) & the pasta with goat's cheese & garlic was alright though was much longer to prepare & make & nowhere near as nice as Gordon Ramsay's recipe with pancetta, leeks and mushrooms. There are some recipes that looks nice (chicken in pesto gravy will be tried at some point) though sometimes he is just not specific enough, like assuming that everyone knows he is referring to a frying pan when he says ... Read More: Rating:  - The Cookbook Every Home Should HaveNigel Slater is an absolute genius with the ability to describe the joy of preparing good food and convey the passion he feels for food. He teaches us to think about getting something enjoyable to eat, rather than merely following a recipe. This passion and philosophy is evident in all of his books but it is this one, in particular, that everyone should own: no-one can claim to be too short of time to use the ideas in this book or claim to be too inexperienced to try. And for those that are a little inexperienced, there is plenty of informaiotn about recommended equipment, storecupboard ingredients and ways of approaching cooking that take the worry out of preparing food ("oh no! I don't have a grapefruit knife! How will I cope?) ... Read More: Rating:  - Excellent for fish recipesMy husband & I got this book as a gift. Most of the recipes we've tried are hit & miss but thumbs up for the Beef Stroganoff. In addition, this little tome is excellent for fish dishes especially salmon and cod as well as smoked & tinned fish. Rating: - Good recipes but no picturesI bought this book as a gift for my brother and family to hopefully encourage them to cook more (they always complain that they have no time). However, since there were no pictures at all I decided against it. I kept it for myself instead and agree with the good comments of the other reviewers. Rating: - A real gemFor the past few years I've found myself cooking the same sorts of dishes, spending a couple of hours in the kitchen, making something that would last a few nights. But they weren't particularly exciting; not the 10th time around, at least. The odd take-away or pre-packed meal got me through the end of the week when I was too tired to cook. A friend bought me Real Fast Food a month ago. What can I say? This is transforming my cooking. Truly inspirational. Without a doubt the best and most practical cook book I own. I can't recommend it enough. The book has a great "store cupboard list" of ingredients that will help ensure you are always able to make something that hits the spot - tasty, varied and and quick dishes ... Read More: |
