Some good recipes here. And I do appreciate Donal saying that not everyone is a meal prepper. I definitely fall into that catergory!

I like this book a lot. I have only had this cookbook a week and I have made 3 of the recipes including the mushroom and cauliflower lasagna, the yogurt chicken and the fajitas and they have all been simple to make and really tasty.

Meals for every taste and easy to cook. There is something for everyone in this book and the instructions are easy to follow. All the ingredients are easy to get, even for the Asian meals. I can recommend this book for all families and hobby cooks who love to serve friends.

As always, Donal has delicious recipes.
He recognises not all of us has the best prep time or the luxury to be in the kitchen and I appreciate that.
Photography is amazing and of course, the favourite is desserts. 🍴💕

Great recipes

I like this cookbook. I find the format distracting. I would prefer if the ingredient list was in the same font as the directions.

Our top work horse cookbook. I don't think a week has gone by in the last few years that we haven't made a recipe from this one!
