"It’s one of those books that you can’t even flick through without getting almost unbearably hungry: cosy comfort is offered on every page; basic (in the sense that it welcomes the novice) but never boring. Let me give you some of my highlights: her Simple Very Tasty Cauliflower Cheese Steaks, gooey with Red Leicester; Crispy Korean Pancakes, studded with crunchy vegetables; Fried Cabbage with Noodles & Bacon; Spicy Sichuan Pork Noodles; Baked Creamy Feta Risoni (risoni is another name for what we, over here, more commonly come across as orzo pasta); the Vietnamese Shaking Beef, “garlicky, sweet and salty with a frisky black pepper bite”; Pad See Ew, a Thai dish of wide noodles, caramelised at the edges, and turned in a rich savoury sauce; Saucy Baked Pork Meatballs; Baked Ratatouille with Beans; the accurately titled Nachos of Your Dreams; a luscious Laksa — and I could go on, but I haven’t even got to the desserts yet! "
