Sunday Roasts

excellent

Impressed with the quality, feels like a very fancy book.

Recipes were easy to follow and I didn’t have to go searching for ingredients. The Standing Rib Roast on the cover was spectacular. Members of my family love to critique food and they couldn’t find anything to change, and if they did try I told “don’t mess with success.”

I'm pretty handy in the kitchen, but hadn't learned the art of the roast. I decided it was time to learn to cook "big meat", and a quick browse of Amazon landed this book on my Wish List. Apparently Santa reads my Wish List, because this was under the tree.After a few pages of roasting basics, the recipes follow. Easy to read, easy to follow. Each recipe details time involved, how many it serves, and the cost. This last is a GREAT notation for any recipe. Helpful since the cuts of meat involved here range from "everyday" to "Holiday" pricing... why don't more cookbooks do this? The physical construction of the book is good too - it stays open to the page your are on, which is good design in a cookbook.Every recipe has been a smash hit so far. The recipe on the cover (the Perfect Sunday Roast) is now our go-to. A recommended read.

180 pages of glorious, delicious recipes, most with photos - although the descriptions provided by Ms. Rosbottom (the author) really make pictures unnecessary. She is a creative genius when it comes to developing and simplifying recipes that could have been overwhelming. Instead her directions will make anyone a star, be they experienced or novice cook. As if that weren't enough she includes recipes for suggested sides and "extras" for chutneys, relishes, seasoned butters and sauces. I've delighted my husband with her recipes and am now awaiting the arrival of guests so they too can enjoy her creativity.
