5.0 out of 5 stars
My favorite cookbook, bar none, November 19, 2005
This review is from: The River Cottage Year (Hardcover)
There are several recipes in this cookbook--the one for batter-fried pollack comes to mind--that in themselves justify the purchase of the book. But what really makes this volume special is that almost ALL of the recipes are that good. Literally more than half of them are in heavy rotation in my kitchen.
I trust Hugh F.-W.'s tastes and techniques so fully that several times I have cooked a dish from this book for the first time when I had guests coming. The results are always delicious.
Although several of the recipes are quite easy, this is not a book for people interested in convenience food. It is for people who care about quality whole foods and want to learn superlative, yet earthy, ways to cook them.
