I was bought this as an xmas present, and have already made some of the recipes. Some seem quite complicated, but I am sure they will be worth it!! A very good book. highly recommend it.

In ‘Something for the Weekend’, Pocket Penguin 43, Jamie pulls
together a selection of recipes to liven up Sunday dinner for the
traditional cook, or someone a little more ambitious!
‘The book is called this because the weekend is when I get an
opportunity to cook at home and have a wicked time with my
family and friends.
And now I’ve got kids the weekends are so important for
cooking with them - I find it really grounding and always have
such a laugh with them.
Remember - cooking is supposed to be fun and not a chore.
So here is a collection of some of my favourite recipes from the
books I’ve written over the past few years. I’m sure you’ll have
lots of fun with them, so roll your sleeves up and get stuck in.
This collection of recipes couldn’t be more apt - it really is
‘something for the weekend’, whether you’re looking for
breakfast ideas, snacks, lazy lunches, proper dinner parties or
whether you’re after a really good party cake recipe.
Have a great weekend cooking.
And, Happy Birthday Penguin.’Split into chapters:- Introduction, Brekkie, Long Lunches, Fish
Suppers, Drinks, On the Sidelines, Alfresco Food and Puds. It should be noted that these little books are just ‘tastes’ of the authors from Pocket Penguin - hence the price!
They are written in a fairly small print and indeed have no
pictures. I remember being horribly disappointed with my purchase of ‘Elizabeth David’s ‘Peperonata and other Italian Dishes’, for the same reason and yet it is well-thumbed and a great lure for friends who have not seen it before! Paperback 64 pages (May 6, 2005) Publisher: Penguin Books

This book has good recipes but there are not that many of then and no pictures! You would be better of paying more for a full-size book.
