Rachel's Favourite food at home November 6, 2008 Paul Butler (UK) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is great. I now own 4 of Rachel's cookbooks and all of them haven't disappointed me. The recipes are simple to follow and the end results are excellent. I've a shelf full of cookbooks that I've only used once for twice for the odd recipe but Rachels books are so good I keep them permanently on the breakfast bar. Highly recommended.
Great if you have kids October 29, 2008 K. Johnston (Hove, UK) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
My partner and I love to watch Rachel on TV, she's a very charming teacher and cook, and has a winning style. When it comes to her books, I'm slightly less enamoured. I own this one, and have had a good look at her others. It took me awhile to decide to purchase one of them, really because, for me, they feel a tiny bit insubstantial - as food writing they don't really move me - but the recipes are certainly accessible and pleasing. The main reason that I don't own all of her books, however, is that I don't have children, and I think the main market for Rachel's recipes are families - lots of kid-friendly options abound. Thus, I would tend to choose other kinds of cookbooks for reading and cooking from, but for those parents who have little time, and need something easy and foolproof to cook, I think she's probably a great option.
Good recipes to feed your whole family August 15, 2008 Sabine Zimmermann (Germany) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Once again, Rachel has written a book with recipes that you will actually be able to use in everyday life, not just when you've got the time to do some specialist shopping and spend hours in the kitchen. The book is called "favourite food at home" and that's just what you get, if you're looking for something more fiddly or to impress your guests with your brilliant cooking techniques, you should look somewhere else (Gary Rhodes is my tip here). But if all you want is good family meals, this book really gives you a wide variety of choice and you won't be dissapointed. Of course, you've got to have a basic knowledge of cookery to succeed, but that's the case with practically every cookery book apart from those (often quite boring) step-by-step things or a real beginner's book. By the way - if your muffins turn out like horrible litte stones, you probably stirred them too well. Leaving the dough a bit lumpy is usually the trick to get the best results. I know that sounds a bit strange, but it's true all the same.
Most used cookbook I own... February 17, 2008 D. Harris (Lake District, UK) 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I love this book - I've cooked so many recipes from it and they all turn out great. I love Rachel's approach - there's too many tv chefs who use tv to show off their restaurant food, yet fewer and fewer people cook at home. This book is full of easy, great food you can cook at home for everyday meals. If you are having friends round, try the lamb tagine recipe - it's to die for!
