May I recommend my latest recipe book purchase? For every day meals

[Frenchgirl]

Just One Pot
Have done two recipes so far from it and both delicious, also very easy and straightforward so great for every day cooking.
Love it (dh and dd agree btw!!! )

I have this book and it's great! Wish my boys would eat more mixed up food so i could use it more though.

what sort of recipies are they? what have you cooked? thanks

It's got several sections, ie vegetarian, chicken, pork/sausages, beef, puddings, and the principle is that all the ingredients cook together. So there are stews, soups, risotto, etc.. A lot of it is comfort food, but there is a good balance of traditional recipes and more modern international stuff
Have made the chorizo and canellini beans stew and the quick beef stew (both fabulous)
Dd who is 6 and a half enjoyed both

also think it will make it easier to plan a few meals in advance for the week (as am not very organised usually...)

sounds lovely! I love stew

the only annoying thing about the book is that I bought it for £16 in a bookshop

bump for those fretting about dinner

ah come one now, this is a great book
have made the chicken pilaf tonight and it was fabulous!!! Excellent recipes I tell you!

Frenchgirl, do you think there is not enough attention to your book? FWIW I think Lindsey Bareham is great - sad day when she left the Evening Std. try her book "supper won't take long" - also very good.

Am going to get it for DP

florence, yes! I think it is one of those very practical books that make a big difference to every day cooking, am v excited about it (sad, I know...) Will look for the other one, thanks!
