Book Reviews of In the Kitchen: More Than 1000 Recipes for Every Day
Book Review: A great book for beginners and experts
Summary: 5 Stars
I used this book last night to cook some delicious salmon and potato cakes which were straightforward to make and tasted wonderful. As an added bonus the cakes are a great way to get kids eating fish without having a too "fishy" taste.
Michelle and Allan's books are ones I have really enjoyed over the years and this one is particularly good as there are many recipes that are easy to achieve and taste fabulous. The night before I cooked a really nice sweet chilli beef stir-fry which did not require a pantry full of exotic Asian ingredients. Do not get me wrong I am a huge fan of complex Asian cookery and do it frequently but sometimes this is not what you want or in fact can be bothered to do after a hard day at work.
In having a large collection of cookbooks (1400+) as you can imagine I sometimes forget I have a book or I loose track of it for a time but when I find it again I get the joy of reading it again and doing some of the great recipes. This was a book I "lost" for a while but not anymore.
I will sometimes buy books because they look beautiful and cover a subject I am interested in but I am very unlikely to ever cook from them, The Big Fat Duck Cookbook comes to mind.
In the Kitchen: More Than 1000 Recipes for Every Day is a book that falls into another category of book I buy. One I use and refer to frequently. The book itself is well organized into useful categories including barbecue, stir-fry, roasts etc. The recipes are generally simple and in every case I have tried they worked very well and many have become family favorites.
Another part of the book I particularly enjoy is the little comments at the beginning of most recipes from one or other of the authors which gives a small insight as to why they have chosen this recipe.
Whilst the book is Australian I would think most of the recipes would translate well into other geographies.
My only complaint about the book is that it is a little awkward in is size and thickness but this is a personal thing and may not be an issue for others.
Overall a very satisfying book to use and particularly useful for the less experienced cook.
