For me, the Hairy Bikers books are so "normal", easy, you don't have to buy a million weird ingredients from the supermarket that you will only use once every few years.
Today I picked three meals from their books to make and I had so many of the ingredients already in the house and each one didn't take long to make and certainly no faff.
I love nigella Lawson but her recipes are faffy as hell, expensive and not really "everyday" easy food making.
I like Jamie Oliver's pasta dishes and like to make fresh pasta which is sooo easy!
