excellent for fish & chicken - By: grumpyyoungwoman, 04 Jun 2008 
I recived this book as a present & have enjoyed using this for quick & easy fish dishes.
Also, unlike Real Fast Food there are good chicken dishes here particularyl of the curry & Moroccan variety.
The most used cookbook I own - By: Mrs. A. R. V. Gilroy-smith, 25 Apr 2008 I absolutely love this book & recommend it all my friends. The recipes are simpled & uncomplicated. The ingredients are easily sourced & the results are fantastic. I own a number of cook books - this is the one I enjoy cooking from the most. Its perfect for everyday cooking, nothing takes too long & the instructions are easy to follow.
Never Mind Delia's How to cheat, this is THE book for quick nutritious meals - By: Mr. A. Gifford, 21 Feb 2008 This is the book for anyone who needs/wants a mealin a hurry.The idea is not to follow the recipies slavishly, but cook to your taste.Most dishes can be made @ 30 -35 minutes, which can be cut down if you follow the suggestions for storecupboard items.Also, note that there are no suggestions for frozen mashed potato, or any other supermarket brand ready "food",all are made using fresh ingredients.
Quick and Easy - By: J. Blake, 02 Oct 2007 Unlike one of the previous reviewers I haven't found any recipein this book that takes more than 30 minutes, & I wouldn't say I was an especially acomplished cook.
This is a great book for working people. Most of the stuff you'll havein your cupboard & all most of the recipes need are the addition of a handful of fresh ingredients. Nigel Slater has an easy no-nonsense style and, apart from a few typos, the recipes are all easier to follow & give better results than Nigella or Delia.
Great to inspire when there's not much in to cook with - By: A. Kay, 01 May 2007 I loved this book. I had one of his other books, Real Fast Food & loved his writing style & you get a keen idea of his likes & dislikes. The recipes are simply written (I hate having to trawl through loads of text just to get to the point) & they work. Whilst I think his storecupboard ingredients are quite adventurous for most people (bearingin mind it was first publishedin 1996) these days it isn't too difficult to get them. I personally dislike spending hoursin the kitchen only for the food to be wolfed downin less than 10 minutes, so if you are like me you will love this book.
