Nutmeg and Custard

This is a lovely book. It has a solid feel; no dust jacket to protect it but it feels as though it will cope with being subjected to many referrals in the kitchen and will probably look even better once it has a covering of flour and so on.It is a nice, compact size, at a little over A5 and bound so well that it will stay open on a kitchen work surface without needing to be weighted (so it will probably avoid too many greasy fingerprints) . The paper is a good weight and quality, which probably helps the book to stay open where you want it to.The book contains a good balance of recipes, including several that are vegetarian and most are photographed beautifully presented on the plate. Food presentation is not my strength, but I feel I will be able to accomplish some of the results shown in the book now I have it to guide me; nothing looks to be beyond my capabilities. For example, a recipe for 'Fillet of salmon' shows the salmon served on baby leeks with crème fraiche on the top. It looks lovely (even though I do not eat fish), but most importantly, achievable.Some of the other recipes that caught my attention though are 'Sundried tomato and sweetcorn muffins', 'Olive, feta and herb muffins', 'Sundried tomato and feta stuffed mini loaves', 'Strawberry mivi ice cream', 'Espresso mousse with cinnamon madeleines' and 'Spiced apple crumble'.There are lots of recipes that appeal to me as a vegetarian and many more that I will cook for my partner.

I bought this on kindle for my tablet and I am still reading the book. I have two other books by Marcus and I am a huge fan of his. It has some brilliant recipe's and great ideas. Highly recommended for all marcus Wareing fans.

Marcus is one of the best chefs in the world, and this book is amazing

Excellent one of the best cookery books I have bought

A good book with interesting recipes that I feel the chef cooks at home and I feel there is a leaning to recipes that he can serve to his children which would not be my need but is interesting to see all the same.

There are some very appealing recipes in this book and although I don't eat meat, there are plenty of vegetarian and fish recipes to choose from and I think it would be quite easy to substitute some of the meat ones with vegetarian alternatives. I am looking forward to trying out a few.

I love Marcus Wareing books and get great results from his recipes.

Very good
