 Really "well done" March 24, 2007
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is a really enjoyable cook book. Well set out, easy to follow recipes & some informative bits in between. Hugh does a mean cook book & he has (in tandem with Fizz Carr) transfered his skills from producing books for the "grown ups" , to putting together a marvellous book, aimed at getting Mam's & Dad's into the kitchen with their children & letting the kids get stuck in to cooking (& even trying to coax them into a little bit of produce growing)
Explains the basics of cookery superbly & is a great all round introduction to cooking (this would even make a great student cookbook!)
Everyone will have their favourite recipe in this book but the banana bread is different class, straight out of the oven, nice & warm with a cuppa. Ideal.

I'm a big Hugh fan, and I expected a lot from this book...
...and it delivered!
This book contains fantastic recipes, some are tricky, but most are wholesome and straight-forward.
The book also looks at the principles behind cookery and the ethics of where food comes from. This really is a book about food rather than a simple recipe book.
It details methods used in cookery, and explains the science behind many recipes/methods.
The book also contains some lovely photography and insights into Hugh's own 'food life'.
For anyone who has a similar philosophy to Hugh, then this book is a breath of fresh air. For those that don't - this book could be a revelation!
I've wanted a good recipe book with 'proper' food for a long time, now I've got it - alongside suggestions I'd never considered before. It's great to have a recipe bible from a foodie I respect more than any other on TV.
I can bake a sponge!!! January 27, 2007

At last I can bake the perfect Victoria sponge (after many years of trying) and it's all thanks to this book. There are many great recipes in here and also lots of project ideas for adults and kids alike such as growing your own veg etc. I love this book!! My bible! (Even my mother-in-law is impressed!)
At last I get it! January 4, 2007

This is a proper cookbook for people who just don't get it - like me! It is an absolute proper basic guide to what to do and how to do it without being at all patronising. It also explains why certain recipies combine ingredients in certain ways and you are told about the science and history of cookery as well. I've always has aspirations to cook, but my bread always came out like bricks and nothing I made looked like the photos...until now! When you understand why and how you are supposed to be doing something, it's infinitely easier. I would certainly recommend this book as enlightening reading as well as an excellent recipe book.
Fantastic!! December 5, 2006
