Does what it says on the tin... - By: C. Brew, 26 Aug 2008 
This book does not assume you have a large array of ingredients lurkingin your fridge/cupboard as some other 'easy' books do. It's simple, good hearty meals anyone can make. An excellent choice for the beginner cook.
Say goodbye to ready meals - By: J. Donald, 28 Feb 2007 After years of ready meals I felt I had to try & start some real cooking. For health reasons I had to reduce the salt & additive content that I was eating through ready meals. This book is reasonably priced & has a superb range of meals that really do taste good. The author explains each stepin detail & although there are no pictures I have not found this to be a disadvantage. This book has introduced me to vegetarian meals, previously I always thought they were tasteless, in addition her salad recipes are superb, simple &in no way boring. The preparation timesin the book are accurate but the washing up does add another 15mins or so. A superb book to wean one of the ready meals. Buy it.
Worth buying - By: zztopbanana, 29 Jul 2006 
This is a fairly simple but extremely useful book & although there are no pictures, it is laid out very well whichin turn makes the recipes very easy to follow.
There are about 130 recipesin all so it does not even come close to the sheer number of recipesin the 1000 series books but that said, decision making is far easier.
And there is some good stuffin here, too.
Allin all, very much a worthwhile addition to one's culinary bookshelf.
And at the price, it's a bargain.
Excellent! - By: , 15 Jan 2003 Before I picked up this book I was having baked beans & scrambled eggs & microwave meals most of the time - although I could rustle up the odd bit of salad now & again! I have much more confidence after picking up this book & actually look forward to making a meal now (except for the washing up afterwards!) It is laid outin a very simple way which is half the battle - it doesn't look hard & actually isn't! Buy it!
