5.0 out of 5 stars Superb!
I travel to England frequently, so have a great curiosity about the cuisine. No other British cookery writer comes close to always reliable classic British recipes. Have tried over half of the recipes in this book, and have not been disappointed by one. Really, he is a superb chef, and his recipes are simply conveyed. Unlike some well known chefs, there is nothing...

2.0 out of 5 stars Avoid the Baking Section
I bought this book for its unique collection of British desserts and baked goods recipes. Having now baked about 5 of the recipes (and I am an experienced home baker), I'd say 4 of them were pretty poor (Christmas fruitcake was good). Maybe the recipes don't translate well to American ovens, but buyer beware.

Unlike some well known chefs, there is nothing overly fancy about his food. There is no intimidation. Basic, good, classic.......but with just enough twist to make them special.
