I'm honestly in love with this book. Simple, tasty meals I can batch cook and freeze. They are easy ingredients that aren't hard to find or ones that break the bank. It shows you how to cook, freeze, defrost, and reheat.
My one criticism is that the strength of flavours can be rather underwhelming. This is a family cookbook, so the flavour strength takes in to account kids that are unlikely to enjoy strong flavours. But seeming I never follow recipes to the letter, this is easily fixed by doubling (or even tripling!) the herbs/seasonings. I enjoy cooking so this isn't a problem for me, but others who like to follow recipes to the letter might not be so happy.
This book is fab. Finally a family cookbook full of great Easy to follow recipes using most ingredients that we use as a family and enjoy. Most of the cookbooks I've used have some strange recipes or just ones that really aren't aimed at fussy Eaters. These recipes are so easy to do and I love that they are separated into slow cooker meals, batch cooking, freezer stash etc. I really recommend this cook book I can't wait to get stuck in.
