Great book with lots of good recipes This is the first book of Rachel Allen I bought and I liked it so much, I bought all the other books too. If you're looking for some great recipes to entertain, this is the book you need, you'll find something for practically every occasion: "Christmas Dinner", "Romantic Dinner for Two", "Party Food", "Summer Lunch", "Midweek Supper Party", "Formal Dinner Party", "Sunday Lunch", "Big Family Lunch", "Girl's Night In", "Chocolate", "Barbecue", "Curry Night" and "Afternoon Tea".

best cookbook i have had in a decade this is the only cookbook i have ever made more than about 3 recipes from - the chick pea soup is easy quick and gained applause from a friend who has limited taste post a car accident - the crown of lamb and the two relishes with them worked well as did the spinach and garlic potatoes - and dessert as well from the book
Perfect! Just the cookery book I needed. I can cook very well, but have absolutely no imagination when it comes to food (spaghetti 3 times a week). Rachel Allen's recipes are all quite unusual but not peculiar and her style is a pleasure to read. The book is divided into various sections - Summer Lunch, Party Food, Barbecue - and this works really well. I have tried a number of her dishes and they worked perfectly. Highly recommended
