REVIEW:
In a world that is so busy finding time to make that home-made meal can be often be like waging war with all the other chores that are required during your time off. That’s where this book by Catherine Hill comes in, its full of quick, easy to follow recipes and whilst some of it is simple food full of flavour there are some more complex recipes if you feel like pushing the boat out.
Now, personally I’m a huge fan of stick to your ribs cooking, so when I saw her Casserole I had to give it a go. It tasted divine and whilst I made a modification (I cooked it in my slow cooker and put dumplings in with it instead of a pie top) it made a wonderful accompaniment with fresh new potato’s and provided a meal for six of us although it mentioned that it should do four.
All in, this is a wonderful book and definitely something I’ll be flicking through quite few times to try out other wonderful recipes.
