Anna: I am very selective buying cookbooks, but this one is really good. I watched the show first and I would have been disappointed if those recipes had not been included. Simply put: I love it.

Amazon Customer: I've recently made about a dozen recipes from this book and I'm pretty torn. I really like the unusual flavor combinations in many of the recipes and the spice mix for the instant noodles alone is almost worth purchasing this cookbook- it's truly phenomenal. However, I haven't been impressed with several of my other attempts.

The dessert section in particular is just merely ok. I probably will stop picking things from there and move on to another book that I've had more success with. The black pepper cake tastes ok, but mine wouldn't rise and tore in four pieces coming out of the (very well greased) pan. The barfi truffles were, again, just ok- they certainly weren't anything I would call a truffle and I won't be making them again. For breakfast goods, many of the recipes are just subtly... off. Additionally, a lot more recipes than I expected were straight from her Netflix show without any alteration.

I think part of the problem, especially for the baked goods, is the conversion to American volume-based measurements instead of the weight-based measurements I'm almost certain the book's recipes were tested with. Both sets of measurements were included and maybe I'd...

Clarice: I admired her on British Baking Show, and found her Netflix show that instructs these recipes. The first one I tried was a rosemary-blue cheese-olive Crown bread. It involved twisting the dough to shape the crown. It was fabulous. I haven't baked bread in decades, and this was not just throw-in-the-loaf. It was fun to make and delicious!

Her focus is preparing meals ahead of time as well, and has helped me think of better ways to use my cooking time. She has introduced new spicing as well. I have a lot of cookbooks, but this is the rare one I go back to and get tempted to try another recipe. My husband agrees. Though I no longer have small children at home, she does, and is good at thinking about their tastes and saving the cook's time.

Some recipes are printed so you can make a smaller batch without affecting the result and don't have to do the calculations. I recommend the videos for further background. For example, she shows how Marmite is made by going to the producer. I'd no idea it was the recycling of brewing products. She is clear, modest, and warm, so different from some of the patriarchal chefs. I highly recommend this book for you and to give away.

Courtney: I absolutely adore Nadiya. I've loved her on GBBO and followed her countless endeavors since. Time To Eat is such a lovely show so I was excited for this cookbook. Nadiya is as endearing as ever to watch. This book includes every recipe from the show as well as many more.

One of my main reasons for wanting to leave this review is for American fans. I bought this book preparing for the recipes to be in the metric measurements. This wasn't a deal breaker for me. I simply planned to print a conversion table out and tape to the inside of the book.

However, unlike many of the reviews have stated, my cookbook came with the recipes in US measurements. The only thing I can think is that perhaps the book's initial release was only UK based as Nadiya herself is, but once it was officially released in the US, they made the corrections for the US version. Whatever the reasoning, everything is worked out for the US audience as well now, no conversion tables needed. So if you read those reviews and it was the only thing holding you back from purchasing, rest assured in your purchase now!

ErbanSun: I love Nadiya’s show! Especially her nifty time savers -- like prep ahead instant noodle meals in a jar and her amazing spice mix preps — and the sometimes use of a jarred or canned product, like potatoes or apples. My fam leans toward organic and low sodium, though, and sometimes get visits from college kids who like vegetarian dishes. We’re empty nesters. Usually, I can try to adapt her recipes but still dream of watching a show or two for busy, retired home cooks or maybe ventures into low carb and sodium. All in all, this is a standout cookbook and helpful to anyone who wants to eat well and do so while saving some time. And you do save time without sacrificing deliciousness.
This cookbook / publication is easy to read and follow. I appreciate the appealing photos and that it is not printed in light colored ink that’s harder for those with imperfect eyesight. Highly recommend this one. It routinely gets brought out, along with a Skinny Taste favorite.
