Rick Stein's Simple Suppers: A brand-new collection of over 120 easy recipes (BBC Books)

Very tasty easy to follow recipes with no expensive ingredients required. Great for any cooking experience.

A brilliant all round collection of recipes, so many of which I actually want to cook. Ingredients very easily accessible. Probably the best recipe book I have bought. I am hooked.

Mostly the ones I have tried are delicious. it's true that not every one has hit the spot exactly but it's a good success rate for me. So far I have always found the ingredients easily. Ranges from suppers for one to social suppers. Vegetarian dishes, fish and meat. All quite manageable. I use Simple Suppers quite often.

An amazingly useful cook book from a great chef, full of delicious, eclectic recipes which are perfectly "manageable" providing you have a fairly decent store cupboard. I'm often put off recipes in cookbooks due to the bother of sourcing ingredients but most of what you need here is easily found in any local supermarket and won't cost the earth. Indeed, part of the book's great appeal is the fact that many of these recipes are composed of only about half a dozen ingredients. The desserts section is particularly ingenious, especially for someone like me who doesn't have much experience making puddings! I wouldn't want to be without this superb collection.

I bought 2 recipe books as Christmas presents- this one and another one from a tv chef. The first book yielded only one recipe whereas this one ..! The recipes go on and on! If like me you have always associated Rick Stein with seafood recipes, be prepared for something different. This book is written in a chatty way, with recipes for all tastes using veg or fish or meat with lots of herbs and spices to maximise flavour. The recipes are easy to follow and easy to cook for just one-or two- or for friends. I have cooked 6 of the recipes already - and more earmarked to cook !

I have several of Rick Stein’s cookbooks but this is the one I use the most often. Every dish I’ve cooked from it has been delicious and easy to prepare. Firm family favourites include Cullen Skink, one-pot meatballs with tomato sauce and orzo, mushroom and thyme tart (although I use much less crème fraiche), beef stifado, lamb tagine with apricots, tartiflette and gratin of leek, cider and potatoes. I haven’t tried the desserts yet but I will!

Sensational. The only trustworthy recipe books that I have, and I have many. This is my third book from the author and anything that I have made has been perfect, easy to cook, easy to follow and very very tasty :)

Always love a Rick Stein recipe book. Far Eastern Odyssey will remain my ultimate favourite, but what a useful book this is. This is the book I wanted Home to be. It’s full of straightforward suppers and because it’s Rick (and Portia) you know they will work. There is no need to do a zillion things at once (Jamie) or buy ready made junk food shortcuts (except for sensible ones like pastry), but equally no need to be over involved. I felt the recipes were mainly new (unlike Home where I already owned all the best ones) and even Kapushka had been simplified - no need to find Turkish pepper paste any more-although if you do, it’s brilliant. 10/10 from me.

Rick Stein's cookbooks have been a staple in my kitchen for decades. This one doesn't disappoint

The book was damaged

This is a very well written and a delightful cookbook to read. The recipes are spot on and we have made several. All have been delicious so far. Highly recommended.

I have been scolling through the book, more simple recipes and still the good old style, something I would look for everyday cooking.

I bought this book for a friend of mine who is a Rick Stein fan. He loves it!
