Leith's Cookery Bible

Product Information

So Prue Leith has been around forever - maybe not quite Delia Smith but she is certainly an important part of the British cooking scene. Partly because of her restaurant and cookery school and partly because of her writing. Perfect for beginners in the kitchen and everyone who is time-pressed but would still like to eat tasty, homemade food, this is the ultimate cookery reference book. As far as cookery books go I think this is a reasonable investment. This is not new or cutting edge or very thematic but it is a substantial selection. It feels a little outdated as now popular ingredients such a raddichio, fennel, pumpkin seeds and all the other fashions that have come and gone aren't really referenced but I feel strongly that all good food has value -regardless of whether its considered old-fashioned. Hey, anything old can be relabeled retro-chic and nobody raises an eyebrow, right?
