Synopsis

From simple family favourites to special dishes for celebrations. It includes traditional favourites that have been passed down from generation to generation as well as more contemporary classics, with recipes ranging from meat, poultry, and healthy fish and vegetarian dishes to mouth-watering cakes and puddings, jams, pickles and chutneys, and tasty soups and sauces. Each recipe is accompanied by a colour photograph and packed with useful information - including preparation and cooking times, freezing notes and a calorie count - and there are tips on everything from storing fresh herbs and dejointing a chicken to icing cakes and making perfect pastry. The reference sections are also illustrated in colour throughout, to make identifying, shopping for and preparing ingredients easier.
