Don't be put off if you've seen her on her TV show, this book is fantastic. Focussing on simple food and classics it has a great selection of recipes including ones for Christmas, birthdays and entertaining. They are all easy to follow and actually work (it's the kind of cook book where I have cooked new recipes when people are coming around as I know it'll work).

The style of the book is warm and friendly - this is written by someone who clearly knows/loves food but still appreciates it. If I had to keep just one book this would be it.

It has the best chocolate birthday cake ever in it too!
