I requested this book for Christmas after having watched the bbc tv series and I'm glad I got it. The book is full of easy to make interesting food. And it is proper food, this is not a book of recipes which you would never make and couldn't feed your kids with, this is family cooking at its best. There are recipes for breakfasts, for lunches, for dinners and also for snacks and desserts. The lunches I have found to be invaluable, they have brightened up my packed lunch thats for certain. Instead of just being light meals you can eat at lunch time, these recipes have been thought up specifically for putting in a box (or flask) and taking to work. I have yet to try making any of the buns or muffins but they look very tasty. I'm not much of a dessert person and there are quite a few sweet recipes. The essence of this book is speed and it works. I would recommend this book if you like cooking but don't have the time to mess about. Generally the ingredients used are easy to come by, there are a couple of things that threw me but generally its simple "normal" stuff which she uses repeatedly.
