Synopsis: Allotments with ten-year
waiting lists; fruit and veg seeds outselling those of flowers -
Britain is growing a passion for home produce and the time is right
for the nation's favourite gardener to provide the definitive book
on the subject. Alan's comprehensive guide will tell you everything
you could possibly want or need to know about fruit and veg and
how to grow it, including herbs, baby veg, salads, every-day fruits
plus gourmet or unusual varieties, and how to fit them into today's
stylish small gardens. As well as providing the key facts needed
to yield good results and what to do when things go wrong, the text
is sprinkled with Alan's personal observations, anecdotes, culinary
tips and quirky historical uses.The book takes a very practical
approach, starting from scratch for the benefit of anyone who's
never grown their own before, but is also ideal for those with some
experience who might be growing edibles in a new way - perhaps in
a small space that needs to look attractive, or on a new allotment. |

I bought this book because I saw
the series on TV and greatly enjoyed seeing the beautiful landscapes
and learning about local ingredients and dishes. For anyone who
loves Mediterranean food with its varied influences and would like
to be able to recreate typical dishes at home, this book is a very
accessible resource.
The photography is bright and clear and linked to the recipes which
are divided into sections according to the type of dish and main
ingredients used so there are sections on cheeses, antipasti, pasta
and rice, rabbit and game, fish, fruits, herbs and salads. The text
is informative and gives details about the provenance of the dishes
and the cultural influences on Mediterranean food... |

I bought this book after being
inspired from the fantastic cookery programme and thankfully I have
not yet been disappointed.It is a great book that has so many brilliant
and easy recipes. They do take some time in preparing the ingredients
such as the spices but once you have this mastered the recipes are
quick and simple. I cooked several of the recipes for a dinner party
of 12 including children and everyone both commented on how lovely
the food was AND took some of the recipes home with them. One of
the people who took the recipe NEVER cooks home made food so I figured
it must have been good! I would thoroughly recommend this book as
it is truelly inspiring. I have never cooked Indian food but I can
honestly say that I enjoyed the experience immensly. Fantastic!
Will be buying her other publication asap. |

Written by the world's most authoritative
wine duo, the unparalleled clarity and detail of the maps remain
core to the Atlas. Each of the 200 maps has been thoroughly researched
and updated. Reflecting the happenings over the last six years in
the world of wine, the pages devoted to the New World show a lot
of changes. New additions include: California (Rutherford, Oakville,
Stag's Leap),Australia (Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Limestone
Coast), New Zealand (Central Otago, Martinborough), South Africa
(Constantia). The South American section receives a complete revamp.
In Europe the dynamism of the new Old World is in evidence, with
Sicily, the Douro, Greece and Germany all receiving extra pages... |

Every kitchen should have a copy
of this book. With a wide range of choice for every season it has
something for everyone. The 'Beef and Ale Soup' is absolutely delicious
as are the other winter warmers, and I look forward to trying some
of the summer recipes. I will definately be buying the other Covent
Garden recipe books. |

The book starts with an introduction
by the author Richard Mabey. It then has short sections titled 'Roots',
'Green Vegetables', 'Herbs', 'Spices', 'Flowers', 'Fruits', 'Making
Jellies and Jams' and 'Nuts'. They include general advice, observations
and uses. The main section of the book is given over to identification,
with at least two pages per entry. An interesting section follows
titled ’Picking Rules’ which gives advice on how to pick correctly
how to stay safe. The last section before the main body of the book
is a summary calendar which groups the picking times for entries
into a colour-coded calendar - very useful as a quick reference... |

This cookbook is one of the most
useful I own. Its recipes are simple, easy to follow and the meals
are delicious. Both myself and my partner work full time and have
been able to have 'real food' when we get in rather than sticking
a ready meal in the microwave. Lots of the recipes only take up
to half an hour and you don't need a lot of fancy ingredients. I've
found that I can get everything I want from a large supermarket
(I haven't got the time or the money to go to six different shops
to find exotic ingredients). The whole range of books are good but
this is till my favourite. Also it has pictures of all the dishes,
which means I can see if I've gone wrong! I'm not a great cook but
I manage these recipes and can have a nice homecooked meal. |

This was bought for me when I
moved into my first home and I couldn't manage without it. When
I emigrated to the United States, this was the only book I brought
with me. It is excellent for the basics - pancakes, yorkshire puds
and perfect rice. The Christmas cake is the best recipe I have ever
found... If I had only 1 book in my kitchen, this would definitley
be it! |

This is an outstanding product.
It contains almost every recipie that you'll ever need and much,
much more. I saw an old 1980's copy of this book that a good friend
of mine owned and decided to buy this from Amazon. I am very, very
impressed and would commend this to any chef, cook or house wife/husband.
Get a copy whilst you can! |

The Game Cookbook is a rare example
of a book which can be judged by its cover. The beautifully illustrated
pages are matched by the superb recipes and personal narrative written
by Clarissa Dickson Wright and Johnny Scott. Often I have thought
that modern recipe books, peppered with escapist photographs that
bear no relation to what's normally found in a kitchen, belong more
on a coffee table than they do stacked haphazardly next to the wooden
spoons. The Game Cookbook however achieves both aesthetic success
and irreplacable practical guidance as to how to cook game. Yes,
I did feel mild pangs of guilt as I besmirched the pages of the
recipe for salmon with chicory and Roquefort with a cheese-laden
fork, but as soon the pastry rose in the oven and the aroma filled
my house I forgot all about defacing my new book... |
