Hardback reprint please A simple plea to publishers.... I regard this as a great cookery book primarily because it's one that I cook from again and again. What that means in practice is that I need a copy that will stay open without being held open and which is well-produced enough not to get wrecked by spillages and ingredients flying around the kitchen. A paperback will not cut it. If publishers are in any doubt as to whether there's a market, just look at how much used hardback copies are going for.
Most used recipe book I've ever had Like the previous reviewer I need another copy because mine's falling to pieces. Great book, with everything you need to know. Despite dozens of other glossy hardback cooking & recipe books in our possession, I always come back to this one. Please publish again - at least for me and the previous reviewer!
The dishes work first time and every time I am completely lost. My original edition has at last fallen to pieces after 35 years of constant use. There are so many choices, and so many dishes that it has been a necessity in my kitchen, and now that it is out of print I hope that you can persuade the publishers to reprint. The New Great dishes of the World, though a more attractive book is not a patch on the original. Only about one tenth of the numbers of recipes, and nothing like enough choice. Come back Original Great Dishes of the World.
