Customer Reviews of Darina Allen's Ballymaloe Cookery Course

Review Summary: Very Comprehensive
Review: If you have a reasonable knowledge of food (just what it looks like - the book will tell you how to cook it) then this is a must have. It is the first book I turn to when I have an idea what I'm trying to cook or want to recreate a dish I ate in a restaurant, but need advice on timings, method, ingredient quantities etc. I agree that it might not be as visually inspiring as some books because it isn't full of photos, but personally I don't need photos of most of the dishes I want to cook - I can imagine a leg of lamb, a caserole, a crumble, a pasta dish etc etc for myself. If fewer photos means I get ten times as many recipes as most books have then I'm OK with that! If I could only have one cookbook this would be it. From a shelf of maybe 40 or so cookbooks not one comes anywhere close to covering more of the dishes I cook throughout the year than this one does. The only way I can describe it to someone considering buying it is that it's a bit like having every book Delia has ever written all rolled into one.

Review Summary: All your cookbooks in one
Review: I'm so glad I came accross this book. Any time I think or hear of something I would like to cook, is nearly always in this book. It covers all the basics of cooking and preparing food and it gives a huge variety of different recipes from the simple types to the more difficult.

Review Summary: Darina Allen is my guru
Review: I have managed restaurants and worked in kitchen's for years and a chef who trained at Darina's cookery school recommended this for me. The book is amazing, it covers every flavour and ingredient with an enormous variety of recipes. The instructions are really easy to follow and there's even step by step instructions on how to make difficult pastry and julienne carrots. I can not recommend this book enough, I have probably around 50 cookery books but I rarely bother reading them as this book has so much to offer.
