 excellent for fish & chicken June 4, 2008
I recived this book as a present and have enjoyed using this for quick and easy fish dishes.
Also, unlike Real Fast Food there are good chicken dishes here particularyl of the curry and Moroccan variety.

I absolutely love this book and recommend it all my friends. The recipes are simpled and uncomplicated. The ingredients are easily sourced and the results are fantastic. I own a number of cook books - this is the one I enjoy cooking from the most. Its perfect for everyday cooking, nothing takes too long and the instructions are easy to follow.

This is the book for anyone who needs/wants a meal in a hurry.The idea is not to follow the recipies slavishly, but cook to your taste.Most dishes can be made @ 30 -35 minutes, which can be cut down if you follow the suggestions for storecupboard items.Also, note that there are no suggestions for frozen mashed potato, or any other supermarket brand ready "food",all are made using fresh ingredients.

Unlike one of the previous reviewers I haven't found any recipe in this book that takes more than 30 minutes, and I wouldn't say I was an especially acomplished cook.
This is a great book for working people. Most of the stuff you'll have in your cupboard and all most of the recipes need are the addition of a handful of fresh ingredients. Nigel Slater has an easy no-nonsense style and, apart from a few typos, the recipes are all easier to follow and give better results than Nigella or Delia.
Great to inspire when there's not much in to cook with May 1, 2007

I loved this book. I had one of his other books, Real Fast Food and loved his writing style and you get a keen idea of his likes and dislikes. The recipes are simply written (I hate having to trawl through loads of text just to get to the point) and they work. Whilst I think his storecupboard ingredients are quite adventurous for most people (bearing in mind it was first published in 1996) these days it isn't too difficult to get them. I personally dislike spending hours in the kitchen only for the food to be wolfed down in less than 10 minutes, so if you are like me you will love this book.
