Little Book, Big Recipes!
Got the oven, now what? Got this cookery book--Wow! Not sure what I expected, but certainly not a little cookery book chock full of easy to prepare dishes that cook up in no time. This is a U.K. cookery book, so minor adjustments are the norm. But minor conversions aside (and they are minor), this little book packs a big wallop when it comes creating flavorful meals in these tabletop convection ovens.Would I buy this for friends? In a minute!

Good British recipes
This is a British cookery book, with quite ordinary recipes in it. I think confusion may arise from the differences between the U.K. And US versions of English. Here is a quick guide to translating ingredients, or substitutions where useful. Hopefully I didn't miss too much:Tomato purée = tomato pasteCoriander leaves or fresh coriander = cilantro leavesMinced chicken (or other meat) = ground chicken (or other meat)Back bacon - substitute Canadian baconGoujons = battered and fried strips or sticks or fingers of something e.g chicken goujons are fried chicken stripsHob = stove topMuscovado sugar = brown sugarCayenne pepper = red pepper (hot)Roasting tin = roasting panCaster sugar = fine sugar (you can use regular sugar)Chestnut mushrooms = cremini mushrooms (you could use plain white mushrooms)Sorrel is a slightly sour tasting weed - you could substitute watercress or arugula (different but still would be tasty)Swede = large turnipPancetta is in all our New Hampshire supermarkets, but you could substitute bacon if you can't find any.Leeks are also common in NH. They are like very mild onions. If you can't find any, try substituting shallots.Streaky bacon is just regular bacon here.Gammon steaks = ham steaksPolythene food bag = ziplock bagGround coriander = coriander seeds ground up to form the spice you find in little jars at the supermarketGaram masala = Indian curry powderNatural yogurt = plain yogurtButton mushrooms = regular white mushroomsPlain flour = all purpose flourKitchen paper = paper towelsCourgettes = zucchiniSuet - can use frozen, shredded butter as a substitutePrawn = shrimpDouble cream = whipping creamSingle cream - you could use half-and-halfRoquefort = blue cheeseCrostini = bruschettaStrong white flour = bread flour

Loves the recipes and full colour illustrations.
Good reading. Lovely photos. I hope to start a food biz and the recipes are useful. Will try out many recipes from here.

Hard cover and nice photos.
It's good for its purpose as I've had the oven for years and never had a recipe book.

Lots of prep!
The recipes in this book require a lot of prep time and many (quite a few expensive), ingredients. If you have lots of time to shop in specialty stores and time to prep ingredients before placing in the convection oven, then go for it.Unfortunatly, I have the eBook so I can only look at one page at a time, can't scroll down the book, veiw recipes on one page or print out recipes to try. I'll not be using kindle on my PC again!The photos in this are beautiful, if this book was in a large print book it would make a great coffee table book just for the photos.Gourmet cooks/chefs may enjoy this ebook, especially if they own a notebook computer they can take to the kithchen....

I like the book
I like the book, good recipes. Wish I had known the size of the book is small and so is the printing. Also since it is British it took some time to interpret their unique phrases. But a fun good book.
