Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is the book I needed when I first had to feed my own children, because I knew nothing.
I like so many things about Suddenly Cooking. There are pictures of each dish, so I know what I'm aiming for. There are clear explanations about everything. Charts showing what is in season when, cuts of meat, conversions, and tips about food storage. Every page is well set out.
I especially needed the lesson about olive oil. How are you supposed to know about this stuff unless someone tells you? Sophie tells us how to make perfect eggs, rice, pasta and mashed potatoes, and how to cook vegetables. If I had known all that ten years ago I would have saved myself a lot of embarrassment and wasted food. How to make a basic salad then add whatever you might have on hand. The food that everyone should know how to make, simply in order to look after themselves and the people they love. How to be confident and creative in the kitchen.
I like the reminders why home made is better than shop bought; it is healthier and cheaper.
I love the tips about how long the food will last in the fridge or the freezer, and I like the suggestions for using leftovers. This is instruction from a cook who lives in the real world. It is like she is in your kitchen with you.
Now my ten year old daughter is cooking for the family, following the instructions in this book. It may be the only cookbook she'll need.

Suddenly Cooking - Real food made real easySuddenly Cooking is much more than just a recipe book. It is the quintessential anyone-can-cook book. Here, you will discover all the information you need to kick start your kitchen and make all your favourite meals regardless of your level of experience.
Leaving the family home, getting married, becoming a new parent, looking after a sick spouse, finding yourself suddenly single; these are just a few life scenarios that will often require a crash course in cooking. And that´s a daunting task for anyone to face. But it needn´t be an overwhelming one.
From now on with the help of this book, you get to determine what you eat instead of life´s circumstances dictating the menu.
Of the 120 easy-to-prepare recipes on offer, over two thirds can be made and on the table in under 30 minutes. Each recipe indicates whether it is suitable for a vegetarian diet or gluten free and there are dozens of leftover-makeover ideas to help you make the most of every meal.
This book also shows you how to turn your kitchen into a cooking friendly space, and stock up on essential equipment and utensils. There is a comprehensive and fully illustrative guide on how to take the sting out of cooking by learning basic knife skills.
And if you can´t tell an eggplant from an aubergine, then the pictorial ingredients dictionary and food name translation chart that spans Australian English, British English and American English, will help you identify all the ingredients used in these recipes and many more.
On top of all this, there is advice on how to regulate heat in the kitchen, how to store foods safely and a seasonal food chart to help you know when to buy fruits and vegetables in season, no matter which part of the world you live in.
