If so Is it worth buying and which recipes would you recommend from it or recommend avoiding?

I'm considering buying it but I tend to find his books very hit or miss so would appreciate some opinions.

TIA

I didn't love it but it's 99p on kindle daily deal today. You don't need a kindle you can just download the app if you're not a kindle user.

I was given it as a gift. It's OK. We've used a couple of recipes but not as many as some of the other books we have. I think I'm likely to use it more when fussy offspring leave home and I'm able to cook meals that don't have to appeal to them too.

I agree that it's OK. It's probably my least-used cookbook of his. The recipes that I've tried and liked are:

Super comforting gumbo
Summer veg blanket pie
Picnic pasta salad
Indian style chip butty

I've personally used his five ingredients book a lot more.

That's perfect CinnamonSweet73 Thank you for letting me know that it's on offer. I have book vouchers and wanted to get a vegetarian/vegan book or two but I'll buy it on Kindle instead, especially as people don't seem to love it. That way I haven't wasted much money.

Thank you all for the opinions and recipe suggestions.
