Simple balanced advice
Gill Holcombe gives some good common sense advice on how to cook, healthy and within a budget for your family. He gives more than 200 recipes in this book. There are no pictures or diagrams. It is printed on newsprint. It is a basic book containing basic recipes. There is a section on necessary pantry ingredients and how to prepare vegetables. Recipes, such as some in weekend breakfast just tell how to fix the food, they are not set up like recipes with ingredients listed first.. There are good tips for fussy eaters and some for packed lunches. Most of the recipes in here are those for some standard comfort fare with a twist, although there is hamburger, shepherd's pie, chicken nuggets. Some quandaries occur when directions are given to add ½ package or 5 pieces of ham; or add broccoli or spinach - how much is that? Menus are given with hints on how to fix some of the dishes. Included are recipes for breakfast, dinner, quick fixes, soup, puddings (desserts), cakes, a few smoothies and drinks, some breads and a few assorted recipes for such as; hummus, mayonnaise, ginger beer, chutney. Our family has enjoyed the Toad in the hole, Tuna lasagna, and Kedgeree among others. The book does have a British leaning in some of it's recipes and in its language - desserts are puddings, whether they are what Americans call puddings or not. It was printed in Great Britain first. Despite, or maybe even because of it, this book might not be the most picturesque and flashy, but it certainly contains some sensible advice and good recipes.
