Ah, Mary Berry!! Definitely one of my favorite British cookbook authors! I've loved every cookbook I've tried of hers, and this one is definitely no different. The recipes are simple to follow and turn out the right way first try.

From the uber simple Watermelon, Feta and Mint Stacks to the more complicated Beef Wellington, there is a lovely variety of delicious food that anyone can cook. Cheese and Garlic Tear-Apart Scones? Yes, please!

We're heading into the holiday season in a couple of months. How about Turkey Waldorf Salad to use up some of those leftovers? Colder weather is on its way which cries out for comfort foods. How about a hearty Sausage and Onion Cassoulet?

There's so much to love in the delightful offering from one of Britain's most beloved cooks. Give it a try and make a 'foolproof' meal tonight!

I received a copy of this cookbook from BBC books through IPG. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

The recipes in this book may be foolproof, but most of them are still a lot of work.

Pretty everyday (in dosble) stuff but often with interesting little twist.

This BBC Two series just finished on tv and every episode was a total pleasure. The book is full of great ideas, tips that only many years of cooking can teach so it contains a wealth of information. Easy to follow, always work, delicious and indeed foolproof !
