This book was originally published a long time ago and we bought it, used it and learned how to cook with it. International publishing phenomenon Delia Smith is renowned for her tried-and-tested, fool-proof recipes, and this comprehensive guide to cooking, with recipes that will become kitchen favourites, is no exception. Being retired and single, I cook for myself, and, even saying so myself, have become 'a dab hand' at it! And Delia Smith makes the best roast potatoes :) She might not have the media popularity of some of the other TV chef personalities, but she can sure cook and teach.

I recently had a change in circumstances, and whilst I am a reasonable cook, I needed something to help me diversify in my portfolio. As clear and comprehensive as ever, the recipes are suitable for beginners as well as more experienced cooks. If you are or know someone who is just starting out in the culinary world, this is THE book to get them. Good schools used to teach us how to make all sorts of pastry and cakes, before it became ' technology' on the national curriculum. As millions of Delia Smith followers can testify, these clear and comprehensive recipes can be trusted, by the beginner as well as the more experienced cook.

Still containing all the established favourites such as Flaky Fish Pie, Christmas Pudding and the secret of crunch Roast Potatoes, Delia has now added exciting new recipes like Stir-fried Mange Tout and Roast Stuffed Gooses with Prunes and Armagnac. You don't necessarily get the exotic recipes, though there are some, but what you do get is the basis for doing just about everything.

The original glassine wrapper is rather toned and a bit soiled, but the book itself is in very nice condition.

In addition there are step-by-step colour photographs illustrating basic techniques, such as how to make bread, chutney, marmalade and omelettes. It does not matter if you don't know one end of a pan from another or a practiced cook of years standing, this book is a must have. My life is so much better now that I don't just mash fruit into my mouth and gnaw on raw meat or vegetables depending on the time of year.
