101 Fish & Seafood Dishes: Tried-and-tested Recipes (Good Food 101) - B.B.C. Good Food Magazine""

One pot = Little washing up

Advantages: Easy to follow recipes, great photography, handy size
Disadvantages: Some strange recipes, not many deserts

marinates in lovely herbs and spices whilst cooking, meat is always very tender and it is possible to make enough for more than one sitting. In addition it requires little attention (simply chuck everything in the cooker, turn it on and let the magic happen) and the amount of washing up is minimal. There are loads of one-pot recipe books out there, all of which do more or less the same job. It was whilst browsing in a local Waterstones shop that I noticed a space saving (i.e. small) and attractive (i.e. colourful) one-pot recipe book that was published by the BBC Good Food Magazine, which is an organisation I had actually heard of and trusted. After a quick flick through this book I just had to have it. 101 One-pot Dishes is a handy sized recipe book (ISBN 0-563-52291-7) that was first published by the BBC?s Good Food Magazine, in ...

A Veritable Variety of Veggie Dishes

Advantages: Easy to cook recipes to suit all tastes
Disadvantages: Haven't found all recipes 100% reliable

Please note that Ciao has the title of this book slightly wrong in its product listing. As you can see from the Ciao photograph it is called 101 Veggie Dishes, not Delights as Ciao has renamed it! This is a book which had been part of my cookery collection for a couple of years and I have made several recipes from it. It is a very attractive little book, and the fact that the recipes have all been tested by the staff of the BBC Good Food Magazine really encouraged me to buy it. All the recipes originally appeared in the BBC Good Food Magazine, as did the photos. The book is well laid out with the recipes on the left hand page and a full colour photograph on the opposite page. I do appreciate having a photo of every dish as I can clearly see the results I am aiming for. Unlike some cookery books which can be rather unwieldy ...

Review of 101 Veggie Delights - B.B.C. Good Food Magazine

Credit crunch cooking

Advantages: Easy to follow recipes, uses every day ingredients, easy to follow, nice photos
Disadvantages: Not recommended for vegans

101 Cheap Eats is a handy sized recipe book (ISBN 0-563-48841-7) that was first published by the BBC?s Good Food Magazine, in June 2003, that I highly recommend. Whether you are a meat eater or vegetarian, looking for a snack or a main meal or cooking for yourself or a group of friends there is something in this book that will satisfy all but the most finicky eaters. The back cover boasts this book contains ??.. a collection of inexpensive dishes?..?, hence the Cheap Eats title, but given that some of the dishes require chicken, lamb or pork, all of which are quite expensive unless you buy the almost out of date, fatty and nasty cuts (and who really wants to buy these?) I would not consider many of the recipes to be cheap. That said, there are many other dishes that do require cheaper ingredients such as tinned tuna, sausage and bacon ...
