A bit disappointed。 I WANTED to like this cookbook。 Some of the recipes are fabulous， but others clearly haven’t been tested enough and took twice as long in the oven despite following all instructions （including size and type of roasting dish）。 The book has a disclaimer at the back that all recipes were tested in a single convection oven and temperatures were adjusted accordingly。 It seems to me the temperature conversion was off （I checked my oven’s temperature with an oven thermometer in adva A bit disappointed。 I WANTED to like this cookbook。 Some of the recipes are fabulous， but others clearly haven’t been tested enough and took twice as long in the oven despite following all instructions （including size and type of roasting dish）。 The book has a disclaimer at the back that all recipes were tested in a single convection oven and temperatures were adjusted accordingly。 It seems to me the temperature conversion was off （I checked my oven’s temperature with an oven thermometer in advance to determine whether my oven runs hot or cool， so it wasn’t that）。 Had the recipes been tested in average ovens， perhaps the timing would be right。 After two undercooked dishes that had to be cooked for twice the amount of time called for， I’m reluctant to try again。 。。。more

A gorgeous book with spectacular photos does not necessarily equal good food。 Having cooked from this book over several weeks， I find Diana Henry's recipes overly complicated and time consuming， and the flavors muddled with too many spices and textures。 I love spicy food and love to cook， but unfortunately Henry's recipes prove that the best food is often the simplest， letting simple flavors shine。 Examples: "Baked fennel with crushed red pepper and parmesan" was good， of course any vegetable to A gorgeous book with spectacular photos does not necessarily equal good food。 Having cooked from this book over several weeks， I find Diana Henry's recipes overly complicated and time consuming， and the flavors muddled with too many spices and textures。 I love spicy food and love to cook， but unfortunately Henry's recipes prove that the best food is often the simplest， letting simple flavors shine。 Examples: "Baked fennel with crushed red pepper and parmesan" was good， of course any vegetable topped with parmesan is good。 The salsa verde in "Gigot of monkfish with roast lemon salsa verde" was way too strong and sharp for sweet monkfish and ruined it。 The recipe was overly complicated and time consuming， lemon slices were roasted to flavor the oil but despite letting it sit for 6 hours I could not taste the lemon in the oil。 "Roasted eggplant puree with soft goat cheese， smoked almonds， chili and rosemary" left me longing for my far simpler baba ganoush recipe。 "Persian-spiced spatchcocked chicken with quick-pickled red onions and dill yogurt" enlightened me to the value of a simple quick pickle as a side， but the chicken spice rub on the outside skin made little improvement over a plain roast chicken。 The spicing of "Roast corn， zucchini and peppers with cumin， chili， sour cream and avocado" was dark and heavy。 With all the excellent cookbooks out there， I will not be looking to Diana Henry in the future。 。。。more

Mouthwatering pictures of every recipe。 Tried two new ingredients I didn’t know my life was missing: nduja and XO sauce。 Both ordered online but have recently found nduja at Fresh Market。

Abigail Evans ，

I love it！ What is brilliant about Diana is that not only does she give you recipes but ideas to make the recipes your own。 I took part of her recipe to make the most gorgeous beer-infused yorkshire puddings and they were incredible。

It was "okay" just not my type of food I think。 A lot of ingredients or words I don't know about I think because I'm a pretty basic bitch and not a foodie， that I'd have to drive somewhere fancy to buy。 All the pictures are so dark and brown。 They remind me of the inside of a Dutch painting from the Golden Age， like a peasant or servant might at any moment be drawn into the picture。。。 like the food was lifted from some scene like "Peasants in an Interior。" I don't mean that as an insult。 It just It was "okay" just not my type of food I think。 A lot of ingredients or words I don't know about I think because I'm a pretty basic bitch and not a foodie， that I'd have to drive somewhere fancy to buy。 All the pictures are so dark and brown。 They remind me of the inside of a Dutch painting from the Golden Age， like a peasant or servant might at any moment be drawn into the picture。。。 like the food was lifted from some scene like "Peasants in an Interior。" I don't mean that as an insult。 It just didn't make it very appetizing to me。 But if you need to whip up something like， say， Poussins with Black Olive and Anchovy Butter in a jiffy then this book has got you covered。 。。。more

Beth Russell ，

Not simple！Though some of these look lovely， I found very few for which I could get the ingredients locally and which didn’t require a pantry of special items or pans。 Overall it comes off too fancy for the average harried home cook。

Annamarie Rice ，

I was so excited to get this book from the library。 I made the baked beans。 Ethereal！ Delicious。 And then the rest let me down。 On page 142， de says that you have to use “exactly the size of dish stipulated “， but NEVER actually tells you the SIZE。 Ugh， that’s why I use a cookbook and NOT my wits alone！ And everything calls for preserved lemons， but there is no Actual recipe for the preserved lemons。 Such a tease。

Garry Whitmore ，

A disapointment glad I paid only minimum price （£0。99） for this book。 Recipes are over fancy and feature ingredients most day to day folk wouldn't consider eating。 Who cooks a decent sausage with blackberries， or chicken with pomegranetes just not my cup of tea。 That said if you like the ingredients and style of cooking you may find it most useful。 If considering purchase suggest you preview on Amazon first to see if it suits。 A disapointment glad I paid only minimum price （£0。99） for this book。 Recipes are over fancy and feature ingredients most day to day folk wouldn't consider eating。 Who cooks a decent sausage with blackberries， or chicken with pomegranetes just not my cup of tea。 That said if you like the ingredients and style of cooking you may find it most useful。 If considering purchase suggest you preview on Amazon first to see if it suits。 。。。more

After realizing there were a lot of lamb recipes in this book， I thought， "The author has to be from Australia or New Zealand，" and Australia it is。 The food is broken down into the following sections: Simple Suppers， My Favorite Ingredient， Asparagus to Zucchini， Beets & Bitter Greens， Cook Until Tender， Weekends and Holidays， and Something Sweet。 Excellent photography， but a lot of it dark and moody （think fall and winter） with rough boards and primitive knives and forks and hearty dark meats After realizing there were a lot of lamb recipes in this book， I thought， "The author has to be from Australia or New Zealand，" and Australia it is。 The food is broken down into the following sections: Simple Suppers， My Favorite Ingredient， Asparagus to Zucchini， Beets & Bitter Greens， Cook Until Tender， Weekends and Holidays， and Something Sweet。 Excellent photography， but a lot of it dark and moody （think fall and winter） with rough boards and primitive knives and forks and hearty dark meats and fruits。 Think "snowbound in Norway。" I did copy some recipes to test。 The point of the book is being able to roast or slow cook foods with the simplest steps possible。 A lot of meat， heavier on chicken。 No shellfish。 Things I will not be making like sardines or mackerel。 。。。more

Diana Henry is one of my favorite cookbook authors。 This is a simple， delicious rendering of recipes that we are making at home during our stay at home orders。 Her recipe for chicken with pomegranate， pistachios， plums and honey， is both beautiful to look at and delicious， and the flavors remind me of something Yotam Olenghetti would dream up， down to the pomegranate molasses and sumac。

Mairzi ，

Lovely book with interesting recipes none of which I will be making during this difficult shopping time。 Almost every recipe calls for things I don't normally stock in my kitchen and that are not found in my local grocery store。 Shopping is difficult enough during this pandemic without having to go to multiple stores to find ingredients but I did enjoy reading the recipes。 Lovely book with interesting recipes none of which I will be making during this difficult shopping time。 Almost every recipe calls for things I don't normally stock in my kitchen and that are not found in my local grocery store。 Shopping is difficult enough during this pandemic without having to go to multiple stores to find ingredients but I did enjoy reading the recipes。 。。。more

I love this cookbook。 I've made several dishes so far， I've only had to buy a couple easy to find ingredients each time， and they've come out perfectly。 A great beginner cookbook and one that'll impress for advanced chefs， too。 I love this cookbook。 I've made several dishes so far， I've only had to buy a couple easy to find ingredients each time， and they've come out perfectly。 A great beginner cookbook and one that'll impress for advanced chefs， too。 。。。more

The recipes here seem awfully imprecise and the methods are unclear。 Even dishes that I was drawn to try were a little off-putting for those reasons。 But I did go ahead with one。 The directions did lead me astray and it took just about twice as long as projected to get done for that reason。 But the saving grace is that the promise of intense flavor paid off。 I've eaten from the batch four times now， and it's better every time。 I may even leaf back through and try another recipe。 The recipes here seem awfully imprecise and the methods are unclear。 Even dishes that I was drawn to try were a little off-putting for those reasons。 But I did go ahead with one。 The directions did lead me astray and it took just about twice as long as projected to get done for that reason。 But the saving grace is that the promise of intense flavor paid off。 I've eaten from the batch four times now， and it's better every time。 I may even leaf back through and try another recipe。 。。。more

I just read another review as I go to write mine and it’s exactly everything I want to say。 This is a beautiful book to leaf through but based on the large amount of lamb and fish that I can’t easily source， I’d probably never make anything in it。 Some cookbooks are coffee table books and I was hoping for a spattered on dog eared cookbook that was my go to

As always， Diana Henry's books are filled with beautiful photographs and delicious sounding recipes， but somehow they never seem like something I want to make。 Not really sure why， but I still love to look through them。 As always， Diana Henry's books are filled with beautiful photographs and delicious sounding recipes， but somehow they never seem like something I want to make。 Not really sure why， but I still love to look through them。 。。。more

While this book is aesthetically beautiful， it was not very user friendly and did not live up to it's tagline of "Simple Dishes That Look After Themselves"。 Any cookbook that begins by telling me I will have to stock my pantry with hard to find， specialty ingredients to prepare the dishes within is not for me。 （There is even a "Mail-Order Sources" section for those really hard-to-find ingredients called for！） I love to cook and try new flavor profiles， but this was not practical。 While this book is aesthetically beautiful， it was not very user friendly and did not live up to it's tagline of "Simple Dishes That Look After Themselves"。 Any cookbook that begins by telling me I will have to stock my pantry with hard to find， specialty ingredients to prepare the dishes within is not for me。 （There is even a "Mail-Order Sources" section for those really hard-to-find ingredients called for！） I love to cook and try new flavor profiles， but this was not practical。 。。。more

Not exactly what I had in mind。 You don’t just throw a bunch of stuff in a pan and roast it here。 Plus， like half the dishes feature huge cuts of lamb， which isn’t that easy to come by at stupid places like Giant Eagle。 In Britain， where this author is from， it’s like its own food group。 Lots of sausages， too。 Humorously， the author has a recipe for sausage and peppers， the title of which she writes out in Italian。 That must be exotic cuisine over there， because that’s a basic expectation at eve Not exactly what I had in mind。 You don’t just throw a bunch of stuff in a pan and roast it here。 Plus， like half the dishes feature huge cuts of lamb， which isn’t that easy to come by at stupid places like Giant Eagle。 In Britain， where this author is from， it’s like its own food group。 Lots of sausages， too。 Humorously， the author has a recipe for sausage and peppers， the title of which she writes out in Italian。 That must be exotic cuisine over there， because that’s a basic expectation at every Italian-American social event。 Nice to leaf through but disappointing。 。。。more
