| | Customer Reviews: Misleading (08 January 2009)I'm a decent and practised cook, I promise - I've tried a couple of recipes in this book, and I'm seriously disappointed. I also have a sneaking suspicion that the photographs do not accurately represent what you get if you follow the recipes to the letter. For example - the sausage hash recipe tells you to fry thinly sliced raw leeks and thinly sliced raw potatoes in the same pan, for the same length of time. How, exactly, is a spud supposed to cook in the same time as a sliver of leek, however thin the slice might be? Though the photograph promises a beautifully browned and crispy chunk of potato . . something's up. The chicken thighs were OK - but why are they gloriously orange in the photo, when the recipe tells you only to put paprika on the wedges, rather than on the chicken itself? And why do you need to put so much oil on the wedges when they're soaking up all the fat from the rendering chicken skin? And how can you possibly get a crispy skin in such a short cooking time, without searing it as well? As I say, disappointing. I really wouldn't bother - it won't turn out as expected. Excellent (04 January 2009)Excellent book, especially for the money (£2). This is the most useful book on my shelf, I have about 5 recipes in this I go back to time and time again. Highly recommended 101 One-Pot Dishes Tried-and-Tested Recipes/BBC Books (03 December 2008)This is the most useless recipe book if you are wanting receipes for slow cooking, basically there aren't any in the book. I am sure its a good book for normal cooking but that is not what I wanted and if you are after slow cooking/croc pot cooking, do NOT buy. Quick and easy! (01 December 2008)This is such a good book, although quite small it is packed with recipes! As it says they are just one pot recipes so throw everything in and leave to cook. There's some really good ideas in here and the dessert section is great too. What a gem! (23 October 2008)Fantastic recipes, nothing beyond the average cook and amazing value, best little cookery book I've seen in a long time, I will be buying the others in the series for me and sending some to my sons (even they could cook well using these recipes). | |
