Yay, actual food. The recipes are easy to follow, she offers little tips to increase the ease and for substitutions, and seriously, once you've heated the oil in the pan, delicious food meets your plate in minutes."
"The book calls for a 12 inch pan for most meals."
"The recipes are fairly simple, and it's organized in a way that makes finding a recipe you need easy to do."
"I live in remote Alaska with no takeout and finally decided I had to go back to cooking. Now, I need to say that I am an experienced cook and for example the mac and cheese requires you to make your own roux."
"I absolutely love this cookbook! There have been a few instances where cooking times recommended in the recipe have been a little off, but I think that has more to do with my stove/oven than the recipe itself."
"I recommend this to anyone who is looking to mix things up a little bit with minimal dishes, good pictures, and great instructions."
"Great easy recipes for meals for 2."
"Her estimated prep times are pretty much always spot-on and provides hints about where to find some of the more "exotic" ingredients (which I've never had trouble finding at my local grocery store)."
For example: Miso braised salmon fillet with Asian vegetables, Pork and Bacon slider with home made bbq sauce, Curried Sweetcorn Soup, Wild Mushroom Risotto Arrancini, and Baked Lemon Cheesecake with Raspberries. Food-television enthusiasts familiar with Ramsay’s tough and abrasive broadcast personality may not think of him as a home cook, but the chef sets himself to prove that good cooking need not be complicated or unattainable for the domestic market. He covers everything, from the fundamentals of kitchen kit and how to season a pan, to tips that even experienced cooks might not know... All in all, a long overdue correction to the sweary, shouty, cheffy image.

Both use tsp and tbsp for small quantities. - the original uses °Centigrade with gas level, the other °Fahrenheit: 200°C/Gas 6 becomes 400°F. - some ingredients are named/translated differently: double cream becomes heavy cream, caster sugar becomes sugar, spring onions become scallions, pak choi becomes bok choy, coriander becomes cilantro, kale becomes swiss chard, plain flour becomes all-purpose flour, fillet of beef becomes beef tenderloin, tenderstem broccoli becomes baby broccoli, chillies becomes chiles, cep mushrooms become porcini, demerara sugar becomes brown sugar, courgette becomes zucchini, cornflour becomes cornstarch, icing sugar becomes confectioner's sugar, bicarbonate of soda becomes baking soda, biscuits becomes cookies, pudding rice becomes short-grain white rice, etc. - also: flavoursome becomes flavorful, navarin of lamb becomes lamb stew, Arabic restaurants becomes middle Eastern restaurants, scum becomes foam, popular fish becomes overfish fish, etc."

"Eating food rich in nutrients and vitamins can lengthen your life span and it can protect your body from any kinds of illness."

"I like the format for the presentation of each recipe where serving size, cooking time and macros are included."
"Very useful book."
"What a great idea for Keto dieters."

Best Cricket

I found the way he compared and contrasted the way cricket was played and run during both his and his father's times; including some very interesting politics. The rest of the book is more a tribute to the people who got him where he is today, his mum and sister to name the main players here and he downplays his own part quite admirably at times although his courage and tenacity screams out from between the lines."
"It is worth reading for this alone, bit there is also some very good stuff about David's character and influence on his son as well as a pretty decent account of Jonny's own progression in cricket. Personally I wasn't; I thought Jonny's assessments of his fellow players was fair and although he is possibly generous at times I like that he refuses to give salacious or damaging accounts of people but concentrates largely on his own game and attitude to it. For example, Ian Bell at one point is described thus: "He'd sometime hold the final position of a shot, as though posing for a sculptor who was about to start chipping away at some vast block of stone," and Andrew Flintoff's arm around Brett Lee's shoulders was apparently "an act of Corinthian compassion.""
