Rachel's Favourite Food for Living Hardcover – September 3, 2007

I enjoy her program on PBS so I thought I would buy the book as well. Overall, very nice recipes and pretty simple to make. good purchase.

This Book is Great!!!!! I Love watching Rachel on PBS. She makes cooking simple. Thank you!!!!

The first time I received this book it was in a large box with other items. The dust cover was torn and the hard cover was crushed in several places. I returned the book and received another in its place. That too came in a box without any extra packing, other than two air "bubbles". The book was lying in the bottom of the box with the bubbles on top. Of course, during shipping the book banged against the inside of the box. The dust cover was slightly damaged - a bit scruffed but not torn. As I wanted to give it as a gift before Christmas, I did want to return it again. You used to always pack books in a corrugated tightly fitting package and they would arrive unscathed. Please return to that method of packing. You surely must be getting a lot of complaints about the new packing habits.

Rachel Allen, Irish TV chef has produced a fine cookbook here with easy-to-make recipies that are both mouth-watering and accessible. What I want in a cookbook is to advance my knowledge of food and create delicious recipies that are fun to make and do not take 3 Michelin Stars to execute. Here you get some wholesome recipies from staple foods like Fillet Steak with the most devine brandy sauce, Korean-Style beef, a host of fabulous desserts and party favourites...There is something for everyone here and plenty to choose from as there is no limit here on the quantity of recipies between the pages. Recommended.

I received this cookbook fast and in great shape. I loved looing at all the different meals i could make. I love cooking with Rachels cookbooks.

Delicious recipes for cooking and baking with a photograph of every recipe. I constantly use this book and keep finding something else I want to make. It has great bakes :Dad's brown bread, white chocolate buns, afternoon tea cake, Ballymaloe Balloons, scones, truffles and great meals: french onion soup, Lasagne, Roast Chicken, Roast Pork, Roast Lamb, Fish,coconut prawns, Steak and Chips, Pizza, Burgers and so much more.

Always enjoy this lady's recipe books as they are so beautifully produced with easy-to-read recipes which are not out-landish. I find I usually have most, or all the ingredients in my larder when I wish to make any of her recipes off the cuff.

This is one of my favourite cookbooks. I have made several of the recipes and they are all easy to follow and delicious. I would recommend a hardback copy though as you will be using it and looking through loads.I definately wasn't disappointed with this cookbook and hopefully neither will you be.Happy cooking!

this book contains my favourite roast lamb recipe which i hav ecooked around 30 times. Thank you Rachel! it is clear she is a good teacher because the instructions are very clear and easy to follow. A reliable book.

Good cookbook.
