Buy this. You will love it.

It's near impossible to find a cookbook that isn't packed with recipies calling for butter, bacon, and heavy cream. Many of the options in Bill's Open Kitchen are delicious, diet friendly, and quick. What's more, -every single- recipe comes with a lovely photo of the finished product, so you know in advance what looks appealing.

Hooray for food!

I spent a month in Sydney and was invited by a friend to brunch at Bill Granger's restuarant. The food was so unbelievably good that it led me to buy his cook book that same day. Unlike other famous cook book's Bill's menu items are actually detailed in his book. The recipees are not difficult and are accompanied by refreshing photos. The recipees are fusion and fresh ingredients from the market are a must. Well worth the purchase!

One of Bill's signature is always his easy to make but impressive recipes. This book is great if you're a new cook and want to learn some tips on jazzing up your dish using basic ingredients. Uses ingredients from all over the world, thus providing the cook lots of variety and ideas.

My only grouse is that if you have one of Bill's other book already, this one is not much different from the other, only a twist of dressing or sauce or different ingredient to make up another version of a dish.

Not quite the book I expected, but very nice anyway. Most recipes are extremely easy and require few ingredients. Book is well laid out and beautifully illustrated. Nothing really ground breaking or original, but well designed simplicity is always a good thing. Would have gone 5 stars, but was hoping for something more challenging.

Saw a reference on Heidi Swanson's 101 Cookbooks blog, and it was worth pursuing. Simple recipes with quality food, accessible and nutritious. Can't wait to work my way through it, from eggs to desserts. Worth the price, and the pictures are glorious which adds to the desire to just dive in.

i was so pleased to secure a copy of this cookbook. It is worth it. The recipes were is by sections, breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you are having trouble with getting into the habit of eating at home and having some wonderfully elegant but simple recipes, this may be the book for you. All of the ingredients are easy to obtain and are not expensive.

There are very few cookbooks I have used that I have LOVED every recipe I've tried - this is one of them. Bill Granger hits the mark every time with recipes that are easy to prepare and simply delicious. I've made almost every dish in this book and Bill's Food and have never been disappointed.

This is a delightful cookbook. Something of the author's joy and enthusiasm for good food come through the pages. The recipes are straightforward and yet very tasty, mostly using fresh ingredients and featuring coloured pictures of every dish. Not surprisingly, fish and seafood feature prominently in the collection, given that the author has much easier access to fresh seafood than those living in say in the American Midwest, but his food learning experiences have taken him all around the world, so it there is a real blend of cuisines represented. He writes inspiringly at the start of each section about food's important place in the home and community.

Bill Granger's fresh perspective on good, honest food has inspired me to alter my culinary approach to every meal I prepare. His recipes are a bit novel to me, and very refreshing. They remind me, a somewhat experienced cook, that meals don't have to be a complicated or fussy to be appealing and delicious.

I own three of his books, his Bills Food DVD, and I watch him on TV whenever his other series' air. I am very glad he is on the Cooking Channel. Even here in the US I get to watch and learn from this self-trained, perky chef.

I heartily recommend all of Bill Granger's books and videos. He is definitely my new favorite chef.bills open kitchen
