Would you like recipes that are EASY and that WORK?
Not sure where to start?
Here you have 101 Tried and Tested recipes that ALL WORK.
With soups, poultry, meats, fish, vegetarian, pasta & rice, potatoes, vegetables, dressings, sauces & marinades, desserts, baking and sweet things …
There’s truly something for everyone.
With differences you might not have thought of.

Just follow the easy-but-imaginative recipes,
And get ready for: ‘Compliments to The Chef’!
Read on, get going, enjoy!

My recipes are different. Different because they work – as in really work, to provide exactly the results they promise with minimal kitchen equipment, preparation time and ingredients. They really are as simple as that. All of these recipes are ‘no fail’, if you follow the simple instructions I have set out.

I know, because I've personally tried, tested, modified and cooked every single recipe until I have made it the very best that I possibly can, without compromising on flavour.

And what you need for each recipe can easily be bought at your local supermarket. So, no more cupboards full of items that have been used only the once and won’t be used again– which saves money, too!

Excerpt

Introduction


As a small child I grew up watching my Mother cooking and baking for our family, and I was always intrigued by the delicious smells of home-cooking and with what she made. One of my earliest memories is of standing on a kitchen chair, next to my Mother, and ‘helping’ her to bake a cake. I’m sure that I was no help to her, but I surely loved the experience!

When I left home as an adult I decided that I really wanted to create healthy meals that looked good and were delicious, which didn't take half a day to turn out, and used recipes that simply worked first time. But, I also wanted to try experimenting for myself and not always using recipes my Mother had taught me.

But, where could I start?

I bought a stack of cookery books and magazines, and that's when I started to become seriously disillusioned.

Gradually it dawned on me (many inedible meals later!) that there are thousands of recipes available to everyone, but a lot of which just haven't been really checked, tested and bullet-proofed. Either that or they were completely unrealistic in terms of the kitchen equipment, length of time or the long list of ingredients needed to make them a success.

But, these days I am now able to check over a new recipe I've found, and so often react with a hearty: 'Don't think so!'

That's where my recipes are different. Different because they work – as in really work, to provide exactly the results they promise with minimal kitchen equipment, preparation time and ingredients. They really are as simple as that. All of these recipes are ‘no fail’, if you follow the simple instructions I have set out.

I know, because I've personally tried, tested, modified and cooked every single recipe until I have made it the very best that I possibly can, without compromising on flavour.

And what you need for each recipe can easily be bought at your local supermarket. So, no more cupboards full of items that have been used only the once and won’t be used again– which saves money, too!

The only kitchen gadget I would strongly recommend you buy is a good oven thermometer. Without truly knowing if your oven runs hot or not, you could be missing out on some super meals and wonderful cooking experiences.

The list of recipes in this book contains something for everyone. There are recipes for soups, poultry, meat, fish, vegetarian, pasta, rice, potatoes, vegetables, dressings, sauces, marinades, deserts and baking. Each recipe completely tried and tested to bring a wonderful cooking experience and great results you can be proud of.

I believe that cooking is fun and truly enjoyable. And cooking and creating super meals and snacks with confidence, using recipes you can totally trust, really takes some beating. Whether you are a complete novice in the kitchen, or an experienced cook it should always be enjoyable. With this book, I hope that everyone can discover new recipes and enjoy some mouth-watering results!

Have fun – and enjoy!

Just What I Wanted
There was something 'homespun' about the look of this book that drew me.
Cookery books so often disappoint. That's been my take for a while, with ones I've tried.
You follow what's said, and end up frustrated. Maybe, even, angry.
But with this little belter of a book (and not so little with 101 recipes), it's all worked a treat so far with what I've tried - and with what friends have tried from it, too.
All I wanted was straightforward guidance/instruction that works! That's what I've had with this book.
I did wonder if a cookery book on Kindle was fundamentally a good idea. But with this book's layout, anyway, it's fine.
I love it that I can scan down the table of contents, click on any recipe, and go straight to it with my place then automatically kept. Or, of course, I can bookmark any recipe I wish.
I'm no chef (that's why I need guidance!), but I do want good results when I try. Following what's in this book has worked, and I'm now 'keen in the kitchen' again!
Also, much more confident.
My suspicion is that many 'cookery books' are compilations gleaned from wherever. With errors that creep in as recipes are copied on and on - and, clearly, are just not tested. Maybe they didn't even work out in the first place!
But with this book it's different. The recipes work!
I'm looking forward to cooking more that's been 'Tried and Tested'.
I'll watch out for your next book, Carol Jones, if there is one.
Your book is just what I needed, and it lives up to its name.
Great value, too!
I'm thrilled!
Thanks so much.
