5.0

Although I have made several of the recipes from this book, today I read the text portions. Not only did I find Dahl's frankness, sheer delight for food, and promptings to eat it in a healthy, wholesome manner inspiring, but every recipe I have made from this book has been delicious. Moreover, they're all things that are quick and easily made after coming home from work or before class in the morning. I turn to this book every time I need inspiration to cook again, even if I don't use the actual recipes from it.

I like Sophie Dahl's cookbooks for their simplicity and seasonality. These aren't the most inspired recipes (most of them being easy meals people keep as their signature dishes); they work well as little prompts when you yourself are feeling uninspired in the kitchen and want to cook something comforting, but a little fancier than beans on toast.
