Mary Berry Cooks

As you'd expect from Mary, it's a beautiful book with plenty of delicious-sounding recipes and good advice. We've only cooked the stir-fried pork so far but it was delicious, so I can't wait to try the rest. The photography is lovely too, it really feels like you're at home with Mary.

I am watching Mary Berry 's TV Cookery Show at the minute and just wanted all the recipes she has done so far. In this Book you get all those recipes and much much more!
Well done Mary Berry can't wait to get cooking all of your lovely recipes!

I like Mary Berry's style and down to earth instructions, i.e. she writes her recipes clearly and not full of technical terms.

Kindle version of this book a major disappointment. Am huge fan of Mary Berry for many years and have used her recipes constantly,more so than any other food writer. I have 5 books and on my second copy of Complete Cookbook due to seriously constant use over the years, so much so that I had to replace the first copy. Bought the Kindle version of Mary Berry Cooks and am crushed that the print is so so faint. The print can only be described as faint and fainter - with parts eg. A Dinner Party menu unreadable. The photographs are so small they tell you nothing and they are not worth printing. I will use the kindle version as a handy reference for ingredients at the shops and as a reminder when in the kitchen to cook with, but would not recommend this version. I will go out and buy the book. The contents are worth reading, I learnt to freeze food from her earlier books years ago and saved a lot of time and money by following her advice. Plus the recipes are my style of cooking. But I can not read parts of the book in the kindle version and until they improve the print I would not tell a friend to buy this.

This is a lovely book: well written and with great photographs of most (but not all) of the dishes.

Mary Berry makes me feel that she is cooking not to show off her skills, but for the delight of producing good food and serving it for other people to enjoy. There is something essentially modest and unassuming about her style, both on television and in this book. Her focus is the food and the pleasure it will bring to people to use her recipes and eat the results.

The recipes are preceded by useful sections about running an efficient kitchen, ingredients to keep and advice on freezing, The recipes are relatively simple, clear to follow and well laid out. They detail the dishes that she is showing on television in the current series.

This is a book about good food: unpretentious, tried, trusted and able to be adopted with confidence. Well worth buying and trying. Five stars.

this is a great book with lots of super recipies. I love all the get ahead tips. I will certainly use this book a lot.

By mistake I bought this for my kindle and was disappointed as knew I would be - I like cookery books to be 'books'. I returned the kindle version and ordered the hardback. It is a very nice book and I am really pleased.

A beautiful addition to my collection - it didnt dissapoint, Bought the book ahead of the series starting on Monday evening and looking forward to following Mary through some of these beautiful recipes.

this book has great no frills recipes .easy to follow with lots of pictures and usefull tips .would highly recommend it.

This cookery book is a favourite together with the Mary Berry's book of Desserts. Clear concise directions and a good read too!
