Cooking with Mary Berry: Simple Recipes, Great for Family and Friends

150 regular formula top choices from the star judge of the ABC arrangement The Great Holiday Baking Show and the PBS arrangement The Great British Baking Show.

Cooking with Mary Berry covers an expansive choice of plans—informal breakfast thoughts, soups, plates of mixed greens, tidbits, mains, sides, and treats—drawing on Mary's over 60 years in the kitchen. Many, similar to her French Onion Soup, Steak Diane, and Cinnamon Rolls, are natural works of art, yet all have been adjusted to follow Mary's solution for dishes that are simple, handy, and idiot proof. Bit by bit guidelines, tips, and deceives make following in the strides of Britain's preferred cook simple, and full-shading photos of completed dishes give motivation en route.

Ideal for cooks who are simply beginning—and any individual who cherishes Mary Berry—the direct yet exceptional plans in Cooking with Mary Berry will demonstrate, as one commentator has said of her plans, "on the off chance that you can peruse, you can cook."

If you want to faff about in the kitchen with lots of unique ingredients and endless amounts of cooking time then Mary isn't your girl. For those of us who like our food fresh and fast with recipes that use ingredients we actually often have on hand, then Mary Berry has got some wonderful ideas for your meals. These aren't flights of fancy like Yotem Ottolenghi's recipes where part of the magic is learning about new tastes or Nigel Slater who can make something extraordinary out of a fig and some leaves. These are reliable recipes that are time-and-family tested. Mary's Red Lentil Coconut Curry recipe has been the gateway drug to spicier recipes and expanded palates for many a budding cook.I think a lot of cookbook reviewers find Mary's recipes a bit tame. For me, that is a large part of her charm. These are approachable, accomplishable meals that will serve as a wonderful foundation for those who want to cook good food and for the passionate foodie they can be the starting point for a grand adventure.-kmj

I love this book for many reasons. It is well laid out so it's easy to see at a glance what a recipe requires in ingredients and time involved. More importantly, the recipes themselves are largely possible with ingredients most cooking people already have. The value of the dish is brought out not by exotic materials, but by the preparation and cooking techniques. Love it. And, of course, Mary Berry's pleasantness is infused in all pages, wafting at you with every turn.-Pumkin'
