About this deal

If you are or know someone who is just starting out in the culinary world, this is THE book to get them.

Containing all the established favourites such as Flaky Fish Pie, Christmas Pudding and the secret of crunchy Roast Potatoes, Delia also guides you through exciting recipes like Stuffed Pork Tenderloin and Roast Stuffed Goose with Prunes and Armagnac. As clear and comprehensive as ever, Delia's recipes are suitable for beginners as well as more experienced cooks, providing you with all you need for a lifetime of cooking and eating well. I love her friendly conversational style, she talks you through all eventualities and you feel secure under her tutelage. I've been using Delia Smith's recipe's for years, but only had a small complete book - no colour photos but has been ok. International publishing phenomenon Delia Smith is renowned for her tried-and-tested, fool-proof recipes, and this comprehensive guide to cooking, with recipes that will become kitchen favourites, is no exception.

Her Complete Illustrated Cookery Course provides all you need, and more, for a lifetime of cooking and entertaining. Découvert chez les parents de ma corres anglaise il y a des années, le complete "cookery course" est un must have de la cusine anglaise. She began her writing career 40 years ago on the Daily Mirror and since then has presented very many cookery series on television and published numerous bestselling cookery books including Delia Smith's Cookery Course, Summer and Winter Collections, The Vegetarian Collection, Delia's How to Cook and Delia's Happy Christmas among others. It includes recipes for all-time classics like Taramasalata, Flaky Fish Pie, Christmas Pudding, crunchy Roast Potatoes, Boeuf Bourguignonne, Gratin Dauphinois and Rich Bread and Butter Pudding. I don't know anyone who has followed the course from start to end, or even used it as a course at all, so I can't comment on whether the course is any good.

And Delia Smith makes the best roast potatoes :) She might not have the media popularity of some of the other TV chef personalities, but she can sure cook and teach. There's a full index at the back, for recipes and ingredients, and the whole book is divided into ingredient-based chapters, making it easy to find what you want. By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions. Many of us MANY of us were brought up with the 'knowledge', passed on by parents about cuts of meat and fish cleaning techniques. Not only are her recipes easy to understand and comprehensive, but she adds all sorts of friendly advice that makes the finished result always something to be proud of.

I am an avid cook and own many cookbooks but this is still my favourite, so much so that I have purchased it for my future daughter-in-law. My life is so much better now that I don't just mash fruit into my mouth and gnaw on raw meat or vegetables depending on the time of year.

To all the established favourites from Delia Smith's Complete Cookery Course , Delia has added a variety of new recipes destined to become just as popular; they range from the simple to the sophisticated, from Stir-fried Mange Tout to Roast Stuffed Goose with Prunes and Armagnac. No missing or damaged pages, no tears, possible very minimal creasing, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins. Illustrated with 24 mouth-watering new photographs, Delia Smith's Complete Cookery Course provides all you need, and more, for a lifetime of cooking and entertaining. What this book does is give you the confidence to develop skills and a reference manual when you need it.

We take pride in offering a wide selection of used books, from classics to hidden gems, ensuring there is something for every literary palate. My husband likes this book a lot more than I do and is actually mad about it, but this book wasn't meant for him! It does not matter if you don't know one end of a pan from another or a practiced cook of years standing, this book is a must have. I recently had a change in circumstances, and whilst I am a reasonable cook, I needed something to help me diversify in my portfolio.

This book was originally published a long time ago and we bought it, used it and learned how to cook with it. I do not rate myself as much of a cook: but when we entertain, I reach for "Delia" and sit back to receive the plaudits of our guests - it never fails.

Delia Smith's Complete Cookery Course is a book that has taken the pride of place on everyone's kitchen shelf. Her Complete How to Cook was released in 2009 to celebrate 40 years of writing recipes and was voted the Most Useful Cookery Book of All Time. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the first publication of the omnibus edition and sales of over 6 million copies across all editions, Delia’s Complete Cookery Course has been re-issued with a fresh, new jacket. If you try to cook without knowing how to cook, you will have some bad experiences, cousin, yes indeed.
