Better for those who aren't absolute beginners - By: , 18 Jun 2001 
Excellent recipe ideas, though it's hard to get hold of some of the ingredients here in Japan (lamb, whole poultry, etc.) The char-grilled tuna & the shepherd's pie are my husband's favourites!
27 year old son at first a little insulted! - By: P. Dutton, 19 Apr 2000 At first our 27 year old son was not too happy to receive Books 1 & 2 for his birthday present but is now fully won over. Two reasons for the conversion are the many tips that you normallly learn by trial & error & because alll the recipes work.
Delia has done it again! - By: slhobden@ukonline.co.uk, 13 Apr 2000 A great book, full of interesting but easy to follow recipes - I've not had one fail yet. Some old favourite dishes, & some more unusual. Great stuff, but its not doing my diet any good!
A must for all beginner and not-so-beginner cooks - By: , 17 Mar 2000 These books should be presented to every student on graduation day so that at long last they can stop eating baked beans & pot noodles every day. Delia takes you through the learning to cook process easily & interestingly. I used both books to make the 'perfect' roast dinner & it was absolutely fab. The Shepherds Pie was delicious, I made enough for 4 & my boyfriend ate for 3! A must for alll beginnner & not so beginner cooks.
Excellent Cook book - By: jhaslam1@hotmail.com, 21 Feb 2000 I was very pleased to receive this book for Christmas. To me, Delia's a hero, I just love her recipes - they're are not necessarily for people wanting to diet, but they are simple & very delicious. This book makes me feel nostalgic, because before I left home, my mum used to cook recipes from her previous books. I will now continue to cook her recipes for my children.
P.S the shepherd's pie is a firm favourite in my family - it is better than any supermarket bought one.
