I wanted to cut down on all of the cookbooks I have and decided I wanted fewer, but better, books that have classic timeless recipes and instructions. I used to pour over her recipes in a magazine series she did years ago and I can't tell you how much time I spent reading about her food and dreaming of the day I would have the equipment/ingredients/audience to be able to prepare her dishes.

When we began the course, the premise was to teach us as if we had never been in a kitchen in our lives. Normally wouldn't mind but already have the Baking Bible with similar cover so would have been nice to build up the set.However, this book has stood the test of time and contains so much information it is invaluable for just about any meal. With over 1400 recipes, this cookbook contains many classic recipes as well as imaginative innovations, and numerous Oriental, Indian, Mexican and vegetarian dishes.

You will find all the classic recipes here – Profiteroles, Quiche Lorraine, Swiss Roll, Brioche- and innumerable tempting alternatives – Artichoke and Green Olive Tart, Walnut Bread, Almond Shortbread .

Following this are chapters on each type of meat, including delicious recipes ranging from the classics, such as Beef stew, Shepherd’s pie, Slow-roast pork belly and Toad-in-the hole, to more adventurous dishes, such as Sticky chicken goujons with caramelised lemons, Duck breasts with blackberry and apple sauce and Thai basil pork. It's not that the recipes are out of date--though the traditional favourites such as roast beef and Yorkshire pudding are present and correct--but that this isn't a volume written around gorgeous colour photographs so perfect they actually put the average home chef off even attempting the dishes for fear of failure.
