What shall I cook for dinner tonight? As much as I love cooking, and since retiring have more time (or so I’m told!) I don’t often plan menus in advance. I cook what I feel like on the day. But sometimes you want to try something new, maybe something easy and quick to prepare, but it must be tasty and look good – in other words look as if I’ve slaved over the stove preparing something wonderful for my loved ones! I love having magazines to browse through and spotted the BBC Easycook in Somerfields one day. I’m a fan of cookery programmes and often use the BBC website to find a recipe that I’ve seen cooked, so decided to fork out £2.50 for the ...  Read the complete review

For quite a few years, I had a subscription to the BBC Goodfood magazine, which was a annual birthday present, although I now receive a craft magazine instead. Recently, my sister however, who also gets goodfood, bought this 'easy cook' also from the BBC, costing her £2.80. When she had finished with it she handed it to me, and so this was my first look at this magazine.
