Complete Perfect Recipes: member book reviews (Single Review Display)

(2 reviews)

A splendid range of recipes for what Herbert calls "classic" but I would call "basic" dishes. The sort of thing you actually cook regularly, nothing too exotic or difficult; quiche lorraine, rice pudding, Nigel Slater's recipe for macaroni cheese.

The recipes tend towards anglo family/comfort food. Some of them are not really recipes but rather guides to how to boil an egg or make a pot of tea, basic skills which some of us take for granted but are a mystery to others.

This book would be an excellent gift for somebody just setting up on their own for the first time. Smaller but less expensive and more conveniently sized than Stephanie.
