 If you only want one cookery book- this is it! August 9, 2001

My Dad bought me this book soon after I got married in 1989. I have used it so often and it takes pride of place on my bookshelf. My favourite phrase when asked by people how I have cooked something is "Delia says..." It has everything you will ever need to know about cooking
helpful but often wordy and over complicated methods given May 7, 2000

There seems to be no advice on the type of knives which are needed for different cullinary jobs. Those for cutting veg. for example, are different from those needed to carve, and although much space is given to cookware - pans especially - other equipment is taken as "read".
Essential for anyone wanting to produce good quality food! September 14, 1999

For someone wanting to learn the basic concepts and theories of quality cooking, this is an absolutely ideal book. There is a fabulous range of recipies and techniques to cater for every occasion and all standards of cook, from beginner - through to advanced. Although many will ridicule the fact that Delia explains to us how to boil an egg properly - they should bear in mind that there is still a significant number of people who are genuinely lost in a kitchen, yet who genuinely want to learn how to do things properly right from the beginning. Although this hardbook illustrated version costs more than the paperback, it really is worth the extra money - illustrations clarifying Delia's step-by-step instructions as well as giving pointers as to how the dish in question should turn out.
