Good Mood Food: Simple Healthy Homecooking

I love this book! I cook a lot, usually 3 meals a day. I really enjoy making these recipes. I love cooking with fresh, healthy ingredients that I can use from my garden. I love the ingredients in this book, and the recipes always turn out great!. I will definitely look for more of Donal Skehan's cookbooks. He is turning out to be one of my favorites!

I'm usually dissapointed with my cookbook purchases; many dishes that look promising end up tasting just so-so, or have such exotic ingredients that are very difficult to find in my area. Not so with this book; every recipe I've tried has turned out very good. It is amazing how Donal can take very simple ingredients, and prepare them in such a way that ends up tasting complex.Even though many of these recipes are posted on his blog, it is much more convenient to have them in a book form. Other than my having to translate oven temperatures, measurements, and some ingredients ("Rocket" is arugula, "Courgette" is zucchini) the instructions are very straightforward and clear. I use this cookbook more than any other I own, and my family and I have never been dissapointed with the outcome. Every recipe is a winner!

I've used and loved this cookbook since it was published in 2009. The author uses easily obtainable, reasonably priced ingredients to create delicious recipes that are easy to follow. The whole family loves it when I make something from this book. Favorites at our house include Favorite Couscous, Irish Brown Yeast Bread, Caramelised Roast Vegetables, and Lemon Poppy Seed Cakeri, but everything we've tried has been good.

Just a really good cookbook👍🏻 Everything I’ve make has turned out good & yummy. I plan on buying more of his cookbooks.

This book is perfect on so many levels!! Easy, healthful, reliable recipes. Fresh and amazing-tasting results. Beautiful photography. Great format with picture facing a one-page recipe. This was my best buy of 2010. I can't wait for Donal's next book!

This is my first purchase of a cookbook and I am totally satisfied. First found the book at our local library, tried quite a few recipes and decided to order mine. It really is a good mood food, easy to follow recipes , easy to find ingredients and simple but healthy advice.Thank you Donal Skehan. Love your recipes .

Love his cookbooks, simple & tasty.

Great recipes, personable writing. Lovely young man and yummy food. Amazon wants 20 words, but this was such an excellent cookbook it easy to say in just a few. Oh, I know ... I bet he has a fabulous mom who's a wonderful cook!

I love Donal Skehan Cookery Books, but this is the weakest of the lot. The recipe index is very annoying, you will never find anyting, as it is not sorted alphabetically by dish, but in subsections "Dinner", "Side Dishes", and even these subsections are not in alphabetical order. So you really need to have a good think wether "perfect parsnips" was a vegetarian dish or a side dish... or neither.. and then trawl through the lot to find it. It's the daftest index ever.The recipes themselves are a little on the mundane side, Hasselback Potatoes again, mushy veg pasta... a little bit of a re-hash of the Kitchen Heros and Homecooked.

Some really great recipes in this book,, as you to make too, always a plus.
