3.0 out of 5 stars A lot on her plate cookbook
Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2016

I was really excited to receive this cookbook--but was really disappointed when I started to look through it. I took a look on Amazon and had some good reviews so I thought I would give it a try since I like to collect cookbooks. There was really not that many recipes for me personally that I thought I just had to make. There were some really good ones that I have marked but not as many as I had hoped for. However, the book is beautifully illustrated and easy to read!

I was so excited for this book to come in the post and it certainly didn't disappoint! Such a beautiful book both to just look at for the gorgeous images and to read, and be inspired by. I've made the leek and smoked makerel risotto so far, and love how Rosie uses ingredients which I have in my pantry and sometimes forget to use, like the preserved lemon in this dish. I litterally want to make everything in the book and love that she has so much respect for more humble ingredients such as the egg or an avocado, both of which i pretty much eat all the time, but she makes them into the star of the show. Next I'm making the pickled mushrooms, and the Porcetta..... So excited for this!! And I'll be pulling out my madeline tin which I bought about 10 years ago and just never got round to using!! Thank you Rosie for writing this beautiful book to add to my cookbook collection of over 350 :-) xXx

5.0 out of 5 stars Best cookbook I've bought in AGES

I could not recommend this book enough! The writing style is very engaging, the layout (the photography especially) is just beautiful, and the recipes all look absolutely delicious - really impressive-looking yet easy to follow dishes without a list of expensive ingredients as long as your arm! I live by myself but also enjoy entertaining for friends, and there is a wide range of recipes to suit both easy weekday suppers for one as well as more show-stopping crowd-pleasers. So far I've cooked the garlic & cumin black bean tacos (super simple and so delicious), and have already earmarked several pages for future dinner parties (the chipotle chicken, squid-ink & 'nudja vongole and that porchetta with the amazing-looking crackling). I have a feeling that this is a cookbook I will keep coming back to over and over again. Well done, Rosie!

I absolutely loved this book! I've cooked the tuna tacos so far and the cods roe fritters. Both were really interesting and so tasty. My friends enjoyed them too! I used ingredients I haven't used before so it was exciting to make the dishes as well as easy to follow. The seaweed salad with the tacos was a lovely surprise and will be making that again with other dishes. I've been following Rosie's work for a while now and she didn't disappoint with her book! Can't wait to try more recipes.

Having followed Rosie on Instagram I was eager to get my mitts on her book. The wait was well worth it. I love and live to cook (and cook for a living) but I'm picky when it comes to books. This was written by someone who really gets why we cook - not for deprivation (which I feel the book market is a little overdoing right now) but for the joy of creating and feeding. The photos are stunning. I made 3 recipes in two days and they were all cracking. I didn't even feel the need to tinker with the recipes to make them perfect and I can never resist a tinker. I can't wait to cook my way through the rest of the book, give it to friends and see what happens next for this inspiring writer.
