Good hardback book - makes it easier when cooking for standing it up etc. Couldn't wait for a book after the BBC program although it doesn't cover all recipes on it, it has more and better ones.

Gives explanations and reasons for recipes and not just a step by step guide which helps improve your cooking without cook books.

Only bad thing is a have a electric cooker and you really need a wok for most of the dishes!

I have just started cooking (uni days blah) and this cook book makes me feel like a chef! The recipes are simple, yet amazingly tasty, and there are many tips and helpful guides.

You will be amazed at how much better home made food is compared to take away!

This is an excellent cookbook. Great recipes with clear instructions and very useful extra bits such as the menu planners which tells you, for example what meals are quick and easy and which make a good dinner party menu etc.

I particularly recommend the mango chicken recipe, - it's delicious.
