Replacement for old book that fell apart
There are some pieces of crucial information in this cookbook that don’t seem to exist anywhere else - it tells you what temperatures to use when a recipe only says ‘hot oven’ or ‘medium oven’. That’s really important particularly when using older recipes by authors like Elizabeth David. Secondly, this cookbook offers suggestions and ideas for when a recipe goes wrong - also something you rarely see in modern cookbooks. Finally her basic recipes lsich as the one for making a batter also come with information on how to take care of a pancake pan - information which is really useful if you invest in well-made frying pans that won’t warp or twist if you use too much heat. Even though some of the recipes may seem dated the vast majority of them have stood the test of time - her Victoria sponge recipe even explains how to make bigger cakes in larger tins and how to work out the cooking times. Overall a hugely useful book which I return to again and again, and which i honestly think is better than many more modern texts like Delia’s cookery course. .Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A common sense approach to cooking
I have bought this recently as my original copy fell apart after about 40 years. I love it. I use it mostly for cake baking but it's full of helpful recipes and with clear instructions and illustrations, it's very helpful.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Best cookbook even if you don’t know how to cook an egg
Had an original 1970’s book 50 years ago, first dinner I used it for was Christmas in Zambia and it turned out really good. All recipes turn out great.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
