Book Review-Mary Berry Everyday

After the popularity of my last Mary Berry book review (my most read post ever) I decided to do another one (this one is actually of a new book though).

This book is an excellent handbook for the everyday cook. As the name suggests this book is for everyday use as it is full of practical, simple recipes for day-to-day life as well as those recipes for special occasions.
The book has a lengthy but useful introduction which gives some great advice on how to save time and plan your cooking around your day as well as meal plans, prepare ahead information for every recipe as well as Mary's everyday tips which give useful information about ingredients and methods.

This book has a bit of everything within it, be it baking, meat, vegetarian, salad, canapés or posh desserts its in here which makes it a real handbook for the house cook. This book shouldn't be the first you buy if you are learning to cook as the are some more complex recipes but there are still plenty for the less advanced cook.

The book has outstanding photography-as good as I have seen, there are lots of large print pictures that are step by step and of the finished product. Mary features heavily within the photography but lets be honest, Mary is probably the reason you bought the book so this can be excused.

Here is a sample recipe,

If you would like to see more sample recipes there are some on Amazon (see below) and on the daily mail website-just search Mary Berry Everyday Daily Mail


The book is available to buy on  Amazon for just £12 (less than 1/2 the RRP).
Rating:☆☆☆☆ (I would give it 4.5 but you cant get  a half star)
