Great book,
This review is from: Delia's Complete Cookery Course: The Classic Edition (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book for all the home cooking British basics......great stews, roast beef and yorkshire pudding etc. Easy to follow, and fantastic recipes. I actually bought this because I lost my old copy in a move. Have used this book since I was a young adult, and it has always been a staple in my kitchen.

Mad about Delia,

This review is from: Delia's Complete Cookery Course: The Classic Edition (Paperback)
My copy of this book is covered with stains and the cover is so tattered it's nearly falling off because I have used it so much. The copy I ordered from Amazon is for my granddaughter by request. My daughter says she hasn't tried a Delia recipe that hasn't been good. Might be a bit too 'English' for some.

Look, Ma....I can cook!,
By EquesNiger - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Delia's Complete Cookery Course: The Classic Edition (Paperback)
Cooking is something I have always wanted to know how to do better, but could never find an appropriate resource to show me the way. I bought this massive book in a London bookshop, and have been using it frequently ever since. While some of the terminology uses "British" english as opposed to "American", which may have some of us running to the grocer to find out just exactly what that strange vegetable she is referring to is, the book is overwhelmingly useful and informative. Like the title says, it is a complete cookery course, and you learn more about the uses and methods of the various utensils and cookware than in any other cookbook I have seen. Granted, if you buy all of it, you need a bigger kitchen than I have just to store the pots and pans. Regardless, it's a fun as well as informative read, with practically everything you can imagine ever wanting to cook between its pages.

The great Ladies best work!,
By S. Hebbron "S B H." - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Delia's Complete Cookery Course: The Classic Edition (Paperback)
Well researched, easy to use, perfect for the the seasoned cook or novice alike. She even advices you on what to buy in the way of cookware, a big boon to many a wedding list!It is a touch evangelical, Delia is always prone to giving you advice like a stern School Marm (so it feels like something you have to do rather than might do!) and this is reflected in her slighty dry, bossy and occasionalyy dreary writing, think cooking with a St Trinian's Head mistress if you have never seen Delia on TV. But I have to hand it to her, if you follow her recipes to the letter YOU WILL NOT GO WRONG! Just curtail the cookware shopping list or do as she says and get a MUCH bigger Kitchen! 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful
