Becky D: I love this book! The author writes very well and is very knowledgeable about cooking techniques, meal planning and environmental issues. Each recipe has a little description. As well, each section has a few pages of text. This book is fantastic for offering creative ideas for meals, ways to eat well for health, save money and live sustainably. I have never wanted to read a cook book until now. It is a beautiful book -- great photos, recipes and well presented.

Betty Jones: My daughter is a vegetarian and I saw this book in her kitchen - she made a delicious dinner for us from that book and I was intrigued - lovely book - interesting reading and entertaining author. Wanted to add it to my library and was
delighted to find it. It arrived on my doorstep one day before your shipment (pretty speedy)

Stephen Batchelor: I’ve watched every series of River Cottage I could get my hands on (the Australian version is good, but not as gleefully ‘country’), in fact rewatching them any chance I can.
The food Hugh and his crew prepare and serve is always outstanding and this book reflects those amazing dishes perfectly.
Although he has released books solely concentrating on one subject, this has a marvellous sprinkling of everything, fish, meat, veg, sweets etc.
I’m a huge offal fan and the deviled kidneys are mouth watering, I can’t recommend them enough, in fact I’d find it tough to find a section where I couldn’t instantly recommend half a dozen recipes.
Their are cheaper books around, but honestly, you get what you pay for.

Lunareef: I often find that when following recipes it never quite meets expectation, always blaming it on the fact I cooked it and food always tasts better when someone else prepares it. Hugh's book has been the most used cook book on my shelf, I had to pack a charity bag for the other less/never used books. I am the only vegetarian in my household and as the main cook I always want to ensure that veggie meals are tasty for us all.
Hughs soup's have been a comfort throughout the winter, homemade pot noodles are still my favourite for quick work recipes, his bread dough recipes works a treat every time and we always make our own pizza bases without fail. The dough goes a long way. The caponata recipes is lovely. These are the recipes off the top of my head but I love this book as it is wholesome, hearty, rustic cooking, right up my street and most likely to have the ingredients in my cupboard which make it so much easier when looking for spontaneous inspiration for a dinner idea.
I used to be the veggie that would hate being near meat or anyone eating meat so Hugh took a while to grow on me as his meat prepatations appeared quite brutal at face value however over time I have grown to...

AlexKrycek: I bought this as a present for my wife. She has a whole array of cookery books...Ramsey...Lawson...Oliver etc etc. The only one missing from her collection is this one.

As with all cookery books I think as a reader you can take what you want from them. This is the book with recipes with both meat and vegetables as I myself am a meat eater and would much prefer recipes with meat than without.. Hugh also does another book titled River Cottage Veg Everyday.

What else can I say...the book is well written, easy to follow, and has lots and lots of mouth-watering pictures. Recipes on the left hand page...pictures on the right. I suggest you do though carefully think about what type of recipes you want - as if you have seen his TV programmes, I'm sure you will understand. Some of the recipes are not for the faint hearted as he does use a whole array of different types and meat and veg - very much themed around sustainability. This is and would be useful to add to anyone's collection of cookery books.

Highly recommended.

Jessica Rabbit: With the hundreds of cookbooks on the market that proclaim to teach you simple cooking, this is (almost) the only one worth buying. And that is because it does not teach you the kind of "simple" cooking that is so prevalent on American TV in general, meaning the dump-and-stir shows of Rachael Ray, Sandra Lee, Paula Deen etc. that are all about convenience foods.

Hugh F.-W. does not tell you to use processed, genetically enhanced plastic food like dehydrated potatoes, frozen veggies, powdered orange juice or instant everything to make a quick meal. Instead it is about fresh, seasonal, preferably local ingredients for meals that do not have to take hours to make from scratch. With foods that can easily be found in your garden (if you have one), at a farmer's market or the local butcher.

This book will not give you any new and ground-breaking recipes, but uncomplicated kitchen staples that have been around for a long time and are doable for everyone. The one-star review mentioned deviled lamb hearts (so what?) as proof that this book is not about simple cooking, but the recipes also include grilled chicken, burgers, vegetable soup and roasted carrots.

P.S.: If...

Rachael A. Warrington: I love cookbooks, I buy them like most women buy purses or like men buy power tools. I can't get enough of them. So it was easy to talk myself into buying this new cookbook by River Cottage. I am becoming a groupy. Oh well.

I love the fact that most of the recipes have a picture and a story. That helps me to fall in love with the recipe, to know a little about it. Then the recipes themselves are very simple and easy to prepare. There are some items that we either don't have easy access to, or I won't use (pigs liver), so I will sub something else, no big deal.

I am working my way through the cookbook and am excited to report back on the recipes as I prepare them. If you turely want to cook at home and make dinner time family time this is a great place to start. Get eveyone involved and bring the family back to the table.

Patricia, Norfolk: I had become stuck in a rut with my menus, cooking the same things every week and bought this book to give me some inspiration. Using mainly everyday ingredients, Hugh presents different ways of using them with enough new ideas to be inspirational but not enough to be overwhelming. I have tried the sausage and root vegetable stew, using pork shoulder steaks rather than sausages or pork chops. This was enjoyed by the family who had not tried celeriac before. I next visited the local butcher to buy a nice bit of brisket which I had never cooked previously, and that went down a treat as well with whole shallots and potatoes. Using the online wild meat company I sent for some squirrels to put in a rabbit/squirrel stew with tomato, but in the end used the Daily Telegraph recipe using juniper. The inspiration came from Hugh, though. Next, we have venison to make the venison with juniper and bay on page 226. However, the recipes do not consist merely of stews, and I plan to work my way through the book because there is nothing in there I don't fancy making.
