'Three well-planned and pleasant little resources for the kitchen,
all helpfully devoting one page to each recipe, with a background
note, ingredients and method ... substantial collections of good
recipes to which you will find yourself turning much more often
than to the extravagant and showy cookbooks with their glistening
colour photos and stylish spoofery.'
