Fabulous! I've never written a review for a cookbook before but felt I had to toss one in for Thomasina Miers. I never heard of her before but after browsing at a bookshop, I decided to purchase the book because of its interesting and different recipes. So far, I've only tried the mojo de ajo sauce and the eggplant with feta recipe and they were superb. I can't wait to try the rest and I hope Thomasina keeps the books coming!
Naked LadyChef? Pity the production team have modelled this so closely on the Jamie Oliver books - pictures of the author 'in lively real life situations!', lists of must-have staple ingredients etc. - because the idle browser in a bookshop may well pick this up and dismiss it as a rip-off. WHICH WOULD BE A HUGE PITY! Thomasina Miers has got some lovely, interesting ideas and tons of enthusiasm, as anyone who saw her on Masterchef Goes Large 2005 will remember. These are recipes I can't wait to try and I'll be definitely... more info
Simple, delicious I adored Thomasina when she was on Masterchef because of her unwilting passion for exciting flavours and the sheer joy she exuded when using any influence to create delicious, simple food. This book brings all of that back to life and it is a joy to have in my kitchen. It has a mass of recipes that she clearly loves, and lots that I'm not going to find neatly packaged in all the other celebrity chef cookbooks because they are her own, truly original recipes. This book is going to provide me with inspiration... more info
Easy to follow receipes from the Masterchef Winner Having made some of the receipes from this book already(all of which turned out fine)I can definately recommend this book. The author writes with an obvious passion for her subject;this made me want to be more adventurous and try some receipes that I wouldn't have tried before. If you're looking for something fresh from a cookery book then this is for you.
