Brilliant book, arrived on time, paid a good price for this book, looks like new. So pleased with it and haven’t put it down as so informative.

I’m a dedicated foodie and have hundreds of cookbooks. I tend to buy new books for their inspiration rather than actual recipes, but this one is different.
I’ve recorded the Cookery School series on my Sky box, and so read the recipes while watching the demonstrations. What’s great about the book is the guidance with regard to what mistakes are commonly made, so you can avoid them. The other unusual aspect is that the book contains detailed guidance on the techniques used. This is particularly useful where the presentation requires some butchery skills, for example.
All in all an excellent book that I can heartily recommend.

a well planned book to help all abilities. I have been a professional cook for 20 years and I learned a lot. Well worth the money

I followed the programmes and could not wait to receive the book. The recipes are well presented and easy to follow helping me deliver, so far, some really tasty dishes. Superb coaching and tips for any budding cook. First class!

I like it because it teaches things I never knew how to do. Great book for cooking when entertaining. I like the step by step way it teaches you. It is the first book I have had that explains so well what to do and how to do it.

I recorded and watched the Channel 4 series and loved it much more than the other cookery programmes I’ve seen including Masterchef which used to be my favourite so I had to buy the book. I liked Richard Corrigan’s passion for food and his approach to everything he did. I have several older cook books but like this one much more as it’s beatifully presented with colour photographs to show you what to achieve and recipes for basic, intermediate and advanced levels so anyone can use it. It came at a good price and well packaged and is my favourite cook book at present.

A superb book with wonderful recipes for those who aspire to do better. I used not to like Richard Corrigan because I felt that he was somewhat abrasive and lacking in charisma. The recent Cookery School though showed me a very different side of him and his profound passion for producing delicious and imaginative food has certainly won me over as has his sincere desire to help others to learn, to experience, and to excel. The book contains so many of the delicious recipes which I saw tried and tested on TV and I shall certainly do my best to reproduce these in my kitchen.

I rate this cookbook 5 stars. It’s an outstanding publication. Richard Corrigan tells a convincing story for each recipe which temps me, an aspiring cook, for excellence, to get better at producing great food.
