5.0 out of 5 stars Simple, tasty, well written and my new favourite cook book.
Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2013
Verified Purchase
I very rarely ever write a review for something, it has to be either extremely special or amazingly bad for me to post a review. However this book is in a word is awesome and I'll try and keep this short as I'd love it and could rave on forever about it.

I consider myself a pretty decent and experienced cook and a fan of clean eating only using fresh ingredients and herbs from my garden, avoiding where possible anything that is processed and full of preservatives and chemicals. This book is pretty much uses the same principles. The instructions and excellent pictures are really easy to follow and accommodates for a novice to an experienced cook whith pleanty of great tips or alternative ingredient ideas.

My wife brought it for me as a present to add to my collection and has become my new favourite. I've cooked about a dozen recipes over the last few weeks since getting it and everyone of them has been a knockout with great fresh flavours. In parts, it reminds me of Jamie Oliver 'style' cooking so if you like his food I'm sure you'll love this too. You can tell which of my cook books I really like and use alot by the amount of (accidental) food and drink stains there are on the pages and this rookie in a short time fame this has quickly suffered a few battle scars and proudly sits along side my favourite, well used and trusted cook books. Right now I'm just loving the fresh flavour and texture in the dishes tried so far and also has given me lots of inspirational ideas to try out later.

I've recently ordered a second copy to give to my dad, who could just about burn water, and who has stated for ages now that he wants to get into cooking and I believe this a perfect starting point for him. Like part of the title its 'easy' but easy and simple can still be something special that tastes great. I really cant recommend it enough and plan to get at least one more Jane Hornby recipe book ASAP. I truly love food and cooking and hope this helps if you're on the fence if you should buy this book or not. Cheers and good cooking!

The original What to Cook & How to Cook It is great, and this is more of the same. In terms of recipes, I think I like the first book better, but this one still has plenty of recipes that I am interested in. In this book Hornby has a few more sections than in the first, on things like grilling and picnic recipes. As with the first book, there are tons of pictures, including one for each step of a recipe. The instructions are simple and clear, and the recipes range from easy to slightly more difficult. All in all, an excellent book. I hope Hornby writes another.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love the pictures, inspires me to want to cook!
Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2013

I saw this book at a major department store and was tempted to buy it there. I was drawn to the bright colors and wonderful "how-to" pictures in the book. I decided to look for it on Amazon and found it for nearly 1/2 of the price than what the department store was selling it for. I love the pictures. It helps me to know what the step/food is supposed to look like as I go through the cooking process. Plus it is always easier to decide what to eat by seeing what the finished product looks like. I find myself thinking, "That looks good, I will make that tonight for dinner." The pictures really help sell the book.

The absolute BEST series of cookbooks. Especially if you're a naturally anxious person. The ability to see exactly what each step should look like is so helpful, and the indices and forward provide such great basics information for new cooks and bakers... We found one of the series at Half Price... and immediately came home and ordered the other 2.

Yes, I think this is a fair statement. I chose this cookbook becasue the title was simple- Fresh and Easy....The book is beautiful and hosts a variety of recipies that will help you to figure out what to do with all of those veggies you picked up at the farmers market.

For a girl who takes directions too literally- this book has lots of pictures-so I can ensure that I am really doing it right.

Gave it as a gift to my sister for her birthday. She loved it. It is filled with great recipes for any occaison (appetizers, breakfast, dinner, dessert etc). The thing about this book that I love is that half the book is just pictures showing what to do and what it should look like. My family is filled with visual learners so this is perfect for my sister. The only thing that I would have wanted that was not here is a calorie count for each dish.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful follow-up to What To Cook & How To Cook It - so happy this is becoming a series of books!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 10, 2012

I hadn't cooked anything properly in years, and having gotten married last year felt embarrassed by my lack of skill in the kitchen: particularly with a partner who can open a fridge, grab a few ingredients, and cook up restaurant-quality food without breaking a sweat. Boiling a pack of fresh ravioli and putting a bit of parmesan on top wasn't quite cutting the mustard, and so I really needed to up my game.

I ordered this book having spent the past six weeks cooking more than half of the recipes in Jane Hornby's previous book, What To Cook & How To Cook It. My problem with most cookbooks is that they can sometimes fly through the description and at most show a picture of the final dish. As an unconfident cook, I'd always be left asking "well how will this stage look when it's finished cooking?" and "chop how finely?"

The beauty of this book and the last one is that each recipe is spread out over four, image-heavy pages. Nothing is presumed, and everything is explained with care. For the questions I might have above, there's a picture of every stage. It's just perfect. It's giving me untold confidence. I've cooked six things from this book, and every single one has turned out wonderfully. Best of all, cooking is no longer a stress-filled 60 minutes with a disappointing result - it's 30 minutes, entertaining, fun and educational and my partner has been blown away by the change in my cooking. I'm loving being back in the kitchen and I have Jane to thank for it.

The main difference between this book and the last one is that there is more social food (picnics, barbecues, food for friends), that it's seasonally focussed, and that it's a fair bit healthier than the previous book. I have to say that after using three-quarters of a litre of double cream making a delicious key lime pie from the last book, me and my partner's waistlines are pleased to see a lot more healthy options this time, whilst still managing to make me coo over at least 90% of the recipes.

For some odd reason, though I pre-ordered the book and expected it late April, it arrived early April. Thanks Amazon!

The first thing I want to see with any cookbook is the recipe list - so here's the whole thing for you. Hope it helps, and trust me when I tell you to buy this book if you are anything like me in the kitchen. You won't believe what you can manage with the right cookbook.
