Well made cookbooks with help on how to make the basics. Not too many new recipes, but some good standards. I will be trying the bread soon.

I found these recipes to be classic but uninspiring. Mary's baking cookbooks have thrilled me,and she is such a delight on her baking show but this book did not impress.

A real DK book, with large pictures and instructions broken down into many steps and stages. I checked this out because I was curious about Mary Berry, who I know from The Great British Bake-off - I wasn't that invested in anything specific about the book so I haven't rated it here.

It's a good foundation, but I liked a couple of her other books better.

It was ok, it didn't really excite me, reminded me a lot of the big Betty Crocker-esque cookbooks from my youth, recipes were sort of generic, there aren't photos of each recipe, and the instructions are very annotated and brief.

Ok. I've enjoyed the GBBS and Mary is such an elegant host there. So it's natural to be curious about her recipes AND I think I've figured out her secret. Butter. Yup. That's it. Except of course for anything with egg whites. 😉

The recipes don't look particularly exciting at first glance. After trying about 8 or 9 of the recipes, though, I know this is a cookbook I can return to again and again. The ingredients are usually things I have on hand; the process is simple and not too time consuming; the results are amazing, without fail thus far. As a vegetarian, many of the recipes were unsuitable; the recipes that were veg, however, I am compiling in recipes to remake. Some of the recipes that weren't for me I was able to adapt so that I could enjoy components of them while also accommodating the non-vegetarians in my life. Simple, economical, and delicious. Very happy with the cookbook!
