A wealth of recipes to suit any palette - By: Curly.Lockz, 01 Jan 2009 
Well where to begin? First of all this recipe book follows the same suit as many others where as it is simply split down into ingredient type, meat dishes are covered first, then vegetable, the book then goes into sauces, salads starters & deserts. I also found the comprehensive index at the rear a perfect example of a well laid out recipe book.
I doubt everyone will find a purpose for every recipe includedin the book however it gives the reader the opportunity to create a perfect 3 course meal for two or if they are entertaining a few guests. It is also perfect for cookingin a small kitchen as every recipe can be used to create large portions without needing a huge amount of workspace like traditional recipes do.
I would recommend this book for anyone, students, someone who is new to cooking, an experienced cook looking to try new ideas & working mums who are on the go as the recipes are easy to double up without loosing flavour from the dishes.
The recipes are also easily adaptable, quantities can be easily increased & items substituted for others if this is necessary.
Truly superb - a bargain - By: zztopbanana, 09 Nov 2007

This recipe book is a superb addition to anyone's culinary library - clearly not every recipe will suit every person but it is inconceivable that you would not find a significant number of useful recipesin here & even if you found just one nugget, then considering the price, it would be well worth it.
I actually used this book quite heavily at first & have done so on a regular basis ever since. And still do.
The variety of recipesin this & the rest of the 1000 series is simply staggering - to say you are stuck for choice is an understatement.
Ok, so there are no photographs but against that, the books don't cost a fortune either & they are compact.
You really cannot go wrong with any of these recipe books & when you consider they cost little more than 1 issue of pretty much any food magazine, well, they truly are an absolute bargain.
Buy this one, buy them all - you won't be disappointed.

Fantastic nutritious meals for people on the run! - By: April McMahon, 23 Jun 2006 Having bought this bookin conjunction with 1000 Beginners Recipes, I was pleasantly surprised to find that this one was just as clear & easy to follow. I thought I would have to start off with the Beginners book & then slowly creep up to this one. But, on the contrary, I was overjoyed when reading these recipes.
Being a person who is constantly busy & only has an hour to prepare, cook & wash up a meal, recipes that were quick & easy were essential to suit my lifestyle. This book is invaluable!
Take my advice & go for this book, even if you have all the timein the world to cook up a storm! Words cannot express how truely fantastic it is.
Exactly what the title promises - By: dandj_waite@dial.pipex.com, 29 Dec 2000 I tried a few of the receipes featuredin this book at a recent family gathering. My guests enjoyed eating the end results as much as I enjoyed making them. So much so that they didn't leave me any of the mushroom stroganoff! I have a shelf full of cookery books costing a lot more than is one, but most are gathering dust! Although there are no illustrationsin this book the clear instructions mean you can work without them. There's certainly something for everyone & every occasion found within the covers.
