Does not assume you know anything!
Does not assume you know anything! The book is the best money spent ever!! Even what other cook books would class as basic knowledge is explained - I'm not a student (I just cannot cook) and bought this book on recommendation from a friend, the best recommendation I have ever acted upon. Things explained such as basic cheese sauce, spag bol and everything that I always thought I would need to buy in packets/jars are easily made. The only downside is a lack of pictures but directions are so simple you do not need to see what it is supposed to look like, it just looks like it! An amazing buy - buy it for yourself and then you will want to buy it and hand it out to everyone you meet!!

Best cookbook ever!
I bought this book when I first moved out of home into digs in 1992! Little did I realise how much I would use it, and I still use it now when I need to know the most basic of things (after 12 years of living on my own, there are still plenty of things I don't know how to do in the kitchen, even tho' I love cooking!).

My copy is now so battered, so when I found my little sister was moving into her own place for the first time, I had to buy her a copy. What a bargain and what an investment - buy it!

A Great help to all amateurs without any cash
A really useful guide to complete beginners. Jan Arkless can make tinned (CHEAP!) meat taste good in a recipe. I especially recommend the shepherds pie.

If you're looking for a way to learn and you're on a shoe string this is the book to start with definately! Worth getting!

Dead good.
This book really did help me through uni. It's got millions of recipe ideas and variations and I'm even using it now I've left uni. Come on! At a price like that you can't go wrong!
