- An Excellent Cookbook.
This is how cookbooks should be written. The recipes are short, without any preamble about good the result will taste, and give you the highlights of what is the most important part of the recipe. The recipe for French onion soup is one of the best that I have ever used and produces perfect results every time. My wife, who is a self confessed non-cook, made the cheese soufflé - trust me on this: soufflés are the Everest of dishes! - and it was perfect and absolutely delicious.

She doesn't muck about, she doesn't lecture (like Delia) and she sticks to the point. There are nice big pictures to show you what it'll look like at the end and there is a glossary at the back and a kit list. If you lack confidence in the kitchen or want ... Read More:

- Stylish and mouthwatering
This book is a joy to look at with stylish, mouthwatering pictures accompanying every recipe. But it is also a joy to use with simple, clear instructions and lots of hints and tips. For novice cooks, it gives you the confidence to try dishes which look impressive but are really quite simple. For those who are more confident in the kitchen, there are lots of ideas here that can be adapted depending on what you happen to have in your cupboard at the time.

- Very Tasty
a mix of classics and simple foods to be enjoyed by all with easy cooking, just like Nigella! comfort foods and desserts which are deliecious but lots of new ingredients like almond meal but delicious, especially the blueberry muffins!

- Everything you need
I have had this book for several months now and unlike every other cookbook on my shelf, it really has been used and is beginning to look a bit dog-eared! The recipes are great and easy to follow, there are no "strange" or "hard to find" ingredients. You will find simple recipes like how to cook a roast, to how to make Thai Green Curry (one of the best recipes for Thai Green Curries I've ever found). Even the basics are covered, like how to cook great rice and make great mashed potatoe.

The only problem is that it doesn't have any recipes for desserts, but this will be covered in her second book "Modern Classics Book 2". Otherwise, an essential kitchen tool for the person who wants to improve and expand their cooking skills!
