That Paul bloke could help me coat strawberries with chocolate and eat them anytime he likes!!!!!

Not had much time to examine it (I'm at work you know :cool: ), but it does look as though all the advice is in there, plus every single recipe, plus a nice colour image of each, plus other tips like what to do with sad-looking fruit.

I paid £9 at Amazon and got my delivery free.

I'm so weak when it comes to cookery books:rolleyes::D. I have ordered it from Amazon for £9. ...

I knew you would I'd be interested in your opinion on it if you wouldnt mind sharing please - and opinion of anyone else who bought please? I'm not much into cookery books but this one might be worth it?

Is there much in the way of Veggie food in the series cookbook or is it predominantly meat/fish/poultry orientated food? I don't mind stuff like mince, stew or some curries etc where I can swap the meat for a veggie equivalent but you can't exactly swap a big joint or chicken for anything! :rolleyes: :rotfl: Is there non recipie info too? Thanks in advance...
