My Gran and Grandad bought me this book when I got my first house, and I still use it today, mainly because the back has a reference section that includes conversion tables and meat cooking times based on weight.
The first section covers the basic tools and equipment a kitchen needs, then it goes chapter by chapter covering eggs, vegetables and meats, as well as recipes to try. In this way it's not so much a recipe book as a how-to book with recipes that demonstrate your new skills, whether that is roasting a chicken and making stock out of the carcass or knocking up a Victoria sponge.
Every kitchen needs a Mary Berry book, and this is a great beginners book ideal for first-time cooks.

A perfect book for beginners - lots of step-by-step photographs and a variety of easy recipes. This was a god-send for me when I found it! I have never failed one of these recipes, and now I'm a better cook!

Got it for the recipes. Unfortunately there aren't as many as I was hoping for. Still love Mary Berry though.
