Being a total HFW fangirl I have all the RC cookbooks. I find myself using River Cottage Year a lot. Although I only got RC Everyday on Monday there and I've already made the flatbreads, the broadbean puree and cured me some pork chops. I can see the Everyday book getting a lot of use.

HFW is my hero, and hasn't written a dud book (though there are a couple of oddities in the Family Book ).

As all his books have been recommended by at least one person, I'll add this to the Recipe Book thread to keep ideas together

I have the river cottage cookbook and found it a bit preachy tbh. I wouldn't chairty shop it but nor would I replace it. Can't abide being told what I should do or think! I wouldnt buy any of his others, but would buy any of Nigel Slaters. I like anyone who thinks the burnt scrapy bits are best

River Cottage Everyday has much much less sermonising than the River Cottage Cookbook.

If it's any help to you River Cottage Everyday is on the Book People site for £9.99. Here's the link: http://www.thebookpeople.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10001_10051_175635_100_500020__category_

I like books full of dinners/main courses, I never get a cookbook out to do breakfast or lunch & we don't have a pudding more than once a week. But we do dinners nearly 365 days a year:D

Is it full of "dinners"?
