5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring easy to cook food, September 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Everyday Epicurean (Paperback)

I bought this book in New Zealand when first published here and have cooked many times from the book. The recipes are very easy and also easy to change by substituting ingredients if you want. There is something for everyone - some for when you aren't worried about calories, like the chicken and spinach phyllo pie which is just delicious, and others which are suitable for people watching their weight like the tunisian fish tagine. I have made the grissini - so much nicer than bought ones out of a packet. Other favourites are courgettes (zuchini) with basil and pecorino romano cheese, coriander (cilantro) chili rice with chicken, lamb with orzo and a spiced tomato sauce and chermoula fish with chickpea pasta (which I usually make with chicken breasts). The writing is clear and the focus is on using really good ingredients for great home cooked meals. Catherine Bell's philosophy is based around if you want fine restaurant food, go to a restaurant. If you want good food you can share with family and friends, this is the book for you.
