This is a widely available very basic recipe magazine priced at a cost of £2.60. It is packed full of simple, basic recipes generally aimed around family cooking with a special section on easy meals for children.

There is also a ready steady cook magazine inside the easy cook one (a mini-mag) which is all about ready steady cook, recipes from the series, information about new cooks joining the programme and so forth.
