This is definitely not up there with the other books by Jane. The title suggests these are bakes you would make as, go to “everyday” recipes, easy to make good all rounders. Therefore I would have expected more tray bakes and loaf tin cakes. In fact the other two books probably contain more ‘everyday’ bakes. Fancy cupcakes and three layer buttercream filled cakes are not everyday for me. There are some good recipes in here but only a handful in my opinion. She also delves into savoury dishes. Which I kind of wish she hadn’t bothered. There is nothing really stand out, plus as a vegetarian most of the recipes were pointless flip past pages!! It kind of feels like this book was given a misleading title, and has a very disjointed selection of recipes.

I gave Jane’s first book 3 stars and the second 4 stars. This book lies somewhere between the two for me. At first glance, there are quite a few recipes that take my fancy to try – from the nutella loaf cake, apple and oat cookies, jam roly poly, raspberry and White Choc Muffins, red velvet cake and hummingbrid cake.
With this being an “Everyday” book, I had really hoped for more cake recipes – specifically 2 layer cakes and loaf cakes and not the usual behemouth 3 layer cakes Jane favours. The 3 layer cakes look impressive for a party but I don’t know many every day home cooks who have the time, energy or the massive amount of ingredients (the cost of which is huge these days!) to make these monster cakes the majority of which I think will end up in the bin due to the sheer scale of sponge involved. I said in my previous paragraph that the hummingbird cake is one that I will make, but only if i can scale down the ingredients accurately to make a 2 layer version. Same goes for the millionaire cake and for her traybakes which look delicious but again are massive.
I also have to say that the savoury options are not for me. I have no problem with Jane branching out into the savoury area as lets face it, there are only so many ways to change up a sponge cake and the never ending NYC Cookies she does (am I the only person who doesn’t get the hooha with these?!) but the savoury recipes in this book do not look inspiring to me at all. Everything looks stodgy and oddly pale/bland – the pasties look dry and bland, the sauces in her pies look very watery and cheese/puff pastry seems to feature in everything. If you look at Jon Watts by comparison for simple mouthwatering savoury recipes, Jane has a lot to learn in the savoury end of things for me.
Would I recommend this book? I guess that’s down to personal preference. For me, her second book Celebrate is still my favourite of the 3 books however there are a good few bakes in this book that I will try and for €13 it is definitely worth it. I do feel that the “Everyday” theme was a bit hit and miss though by times and the savoury was way off mark for me. A bit of a mixed bag.

Unfortunately this was delivered damaged which was a big shame.
Book is amazing with really great recipes.
She is an amazing author who is easy to read and follow.

This is a great cookery book full of good, simple ideas without all the pfaff. The book contains many cake recipes and comfort foods such as macaroni cheese, pies and deserts. I like it as it’s not arranged in the usual format such as breakfast, lunch and dinner. She gives tips and suggestions on how to use different ingredients. Overall very surprised and delighted.

Great book and a must have for baking

My Fiancee and I love the recipes in these books (and those from Jane’s blog). From the baking of treats to the cooking of meals, these books are absolutely beginner friendly. Shout-out to my love, the real cook in our relationship (albeit Jane’s recipes). ????????✨
I’ve purchased all of Jane’s books for my Fiancee, and I will continue to for as long as they come out! ????
