Great recipes, easy to follow and very quick to make.

Can’t comment as bought as a gift,
by Bargain loving mum
I love this book. I use it loads – for meals at home, packed lunches and entertaining.
It’s massively changed what I eat at home (more variety, more vegetables, better flavours), and also given me better packed lunches for work – I make one of the recipes and it lasts me 3 lunches.
Good variety of veg, fish and meat dishes. I love it even though I hardly use the meat recipes – there’s still loads of other options.
I bought a nice quality tray and it’s worked great for the recipes. She gives advice about which sort of treat to use but she’s very flexible and relaxed – good advice. Great mix of flavours. It sometimes takes more than 10 mins to prep, but generally v quick, easy and straightforward. It means we have special meals in a short time with very little faff.
My favourite of all my cook books!
I’ve bought 3 of her other tray books, too, but this remains my most used. Partly due to the quickness and also good variety.

Will be a classic cookbook one day – breaks all sorts of barriers!

I now work from home and, from the description and marketing, was really looking forward to receiving a timesaving cookbook to cook while I work, and to learn how to prepare all three food groups in one tin. Hearty roasting tin imagery suggested robust ingredients from the store cupboard with a good shelf life, while the “workday meals for busy families” vibe suggested a reasonable check on calories for regular everyday consumption. Working from home has really impacted my activity levels as well as my proximity to shops. I was also expecting to see veggie/vegan alternatives being given to generally omnivore recipes, so that all tastes were catered for in most recipes.
While this is a lovely, well-produced cookbook from an imaginative author, this book is not any of these things I’m afraid. It:
– usually needs a trip to the supermarket for fresh, low shelf-life ingredients either on the day or very near it (I’m not “on the way home” to pick anything up!)
– very often needs the carbs cooked or made in a separate pan on the stove/fresh crusty bread. It’s often not the “one pan meal” I was looking forward to learning about, it’s a “one pan dish, to serve with sides”
– often has a lot of cheese or cream or oil/butter going in, without any idea given of how many cals per portion this is
– most recipes are veggie or vegan, with no omnivore alternative suggested at all for these
– when there is meat, often reliant on chicken or pork rather than less intensively produced grass-fed local lamb or beef, which I would argue we need to choose more of, if omnivore and trying to be more environmentally conscious.
This is a nice book, I just personally won’t be able to use it much without a 45-minute round trip to the supermarket every 2-3 days, sometimes an eye on the stove for 15-20 mins and a major overhaul of most of the recipes.
