Mary Berry's Family Sunday Lunches

My first non baking book by Mary Berry. Recipes are easy to follow and do not require many ingredients. The meals really are the kind I like to do on Sunday (when my girlfriend and I take a pause from the weeks activities and sit down to a nice meal with wine on china plates just for two).This book is for preparing home meals, not replicating the dining experience at Les Halles. There are plenty of books for that. This won't challenge an experienced cook but it does provide good recipes that bring me back to childhood weekends when the smells from the kitchen would make make me feel good.Mary is not only the queen of baking (though she is that)!

This book is definitely English. It contains far more savory recipes than sweet ones. The measurements are all in metric and require a fair amount of work to convert to American measures. The recipes are well written and there are pictures. I do not see myself using many of these recipes as Sunday lunch is not an American tradition in the same way it is in Great Britain. A fun book to read but not one that will be well worn at least in my kitchen.

I really liked the way Mary Berry tells you what foods can be made ahead and/or frozen ahead in order to give you as much time as possible to spend with your family. Family dinner is a tradition with our family, and I will be using these great recipes for years to come. I also like the use of less typical ingredients that gives a broader range of flavors. Great recipes.

Great book with tons of suggestions - takes me right back to my days growing up in Yorkshire and the school recipes and grandparent recipes I learnt as a child. Nice to have them all so elegantly written up and illustrated. Look forward to passing them on to my children and grandchildren.

Mary is such a wonderful chef. Her recipes are clear cut and easy. But incredients are stated in metric system.

A rehash of the same recipes. Nothing new or even tempting. Very very disappointing. Don’t waste your time or money on this one.

Just love this book

Purchased as a gift, they seemed to love it

Am a great fan of Mary Berry but was so disappointed when this book arrived and found it was almost the same as Mary Berry Family Sunday Lunches purchased in 2011.

Contains some really nice recipes, well laid out in Mary Berry's usual good style

I love this book it has some great recipes can't wait to get started

Mary Berry has done it again! Every recipe is so perfect and all ingredients are easily obtainable. She is the top of my list and she should be yours, if you buy this book you will see what I mean.

These recipes really work. Another Mary triumph.
