The Dairy Book of Home Cookery - Clark Gellings Reviews

Having moved into my own place and enjoying (at least every now and again) cooking new things from scratch I'd built up quite a collection of cookery books from Chinese to Rick Stein via biscuits and muffins. But it wasn't long before I realised something was missing from my bookshelf - I could do amazing, exotic things with lamb but couldn't ...  Read the complete review

This is the one cook book that every one should own. Its a kitchen must have. My Mum had this cook book as i was growing up and it was a favourite in the kitchen. My mums copy is well used and it shows. When i was old enough my mum bought me and my sister a copy of The Dairy Book of Home Cookery each. The contents are great and ...  Read the complete review

My Mum seemed to have more cookery books than Waterstones & although I'm not quite as bad as she was I must admit I have far too many for my needs. I rarely get the opportunity these days to cook lavish meals as the family is always out & about but I'm reluctant to part with any of my precious books & the one I would ...  Read the complete review

I'm not really in to fancypants cookery. All of this Jamie Oliver stuff - a pinch of this, arrangements to make it all look delicate and pretty... it's all just a bit too fancy for me. I like food, I like cookery, and I like mucking about in the kitchen, but what I enjoy more are recipes I can grasp the basics of and then alter as I wish, recipes ...  Read the complete review

What a surprise to find this book on the review list but well deserves a good review. I have had my book for over ten years now and I have to say it has been well used. Looking slightly worse for wear it is pride of place on my cookery book shelf. I do have quite a collection of cookery books and I am drawn to this one time and time ...  Read the complete review

This is a basic cookbook & deserves it's place in any kitchen. These days most of us buy things ready made & the art of basic cookery has gone out of the window. Times change & so do cooking habits. I learnt to cook from my mother & at school but over the years the advent of many ready prepared dishes at the supermarket & lack of time due ...  Read the complete review

I bought this book a few years ago from a discount bookshop, and this book is a real blessing. The recipes are mainly pretty basic, but with so many 'expert' cookbooks on the market that seem to require hundreds of ingredients, it's a must-have. When you need to be reminded how to make simple things like yorkshire puds (am I on my ...  Read the complete review

I bought this book a couple of years ago from one of those book club peeps that visit offices etc and leave books for you to look at. It's the same as the ones you used to be able to buy from the milkman. This really is a brilliant cookbook. The recipes are really varied, from curries to salads and starters, puddings and sweets etc. ...  Read the complete review
