Donna Hay is my new foodie hero. This is the BEST Cookbook I have come across in years. I have made several savory dishes as well as desserts out of this cookbook already. The beef, eggplant and feta meatballs.....my new favorite recipe. And the Nectarine Tart with Orange Syrup.....so easy and delicious. The images, the recipes, the ingredients with the seasonality considered.......all so gorgeous.....and it is just the type of food I love to eat and share with friends. All the dishes I have made from this book have brought rave reviews.
I love to cook and this cookbook has given me new inspirations......and you can add your own twist or tastes to the recipes.....and it all just works out.
I purchased 10 copies to give to all my family for holiday presents. I even feel a little guilty holding back the two months until Christmas. They are all foodies and will absolutely love this cookbook. I would say this book is a Winner! Food is love :) Thank you Donna Hay.
Happy Cooking!

I had heard very good things about this cookbook and I was not disappointed.

For one thing, it is a huge cookbook with the pages taken from the Donna Hay magazine. The photos are so beautiful that I kept this cookbook on my coffee table just to peruse it for awhile.

But in addition to the beautiful photographs, the recipes are clearly written and contain the fresh ingredients one would expect from Donna Hay. I had four or five marked to try on my first read through the book.

I will warn you that the original of this cookbook would be in metric since Donna Hay is an Australian magazine. My copy had the American version of recipes, which is good because I am terrible at math and making conversions.

This is a cookbook I've already come back to often.

I have all of Donna Hay's cookbooks and this may be one of the only ones I have given less than a five star rating. I prefer some of her smaller editions since this is really more of a coffee table book than a usable cookbook. The binding is done poorly, just cglued on and after a few reads cracked and unfolded along the back which was disappointing. Fortunately I am a scrapbooker so I have plenty of sturdy glue and was able to fix it nicely.

The content is from her magazines (she is the Martha Stewart of Australia) which are gorgeous folios that i have seen before in Barnes & Noble. They are expensive magazines to purchase in the US but the production values are extraordinary. I love her aesthetic and I love her recipes.

I like cookbooks that are done seasonally. I usually will focs on the current season and get all I can from it before moving on. Since this is now Spring I have really enjoyed the recipes for the season. They epitomize a lovely spring. I did thumb through to winter which kind of different in Australia and the food is not much like food that we have in the US in the winter. That's ok though because I live in Florida and have two seasons here - hot and not-as-hot. My nothern friends might not find that chapter as useful since it recommends cookouts on the beach!

It is a beautiful cookbook with gorgeous photos of every recipe. It sets the bar very high (as do all her other cookbooks) and makes you hungry and want to get to cooking immediately. All the recipes are simple and delicious, you will usually not find anything too difficult in her books. I don;t do desserts but they look pretty easy to concoct as well.

The cookbook has two sections per each season, a savory and then a sweet. The sweet section is much smaller but stays true to the seasons.

I got a great deal on this cookbook but truthfully would have spent more for it and been quite satisfied.

As with all of Donna’s books, this was absolutely beautiful. Lots of gorgeous photos and delicious recipes!

The only complaint that I might have is that starting with page 80, it started up with page 26 again.. and continued through to page 36. So I have duplicate pages in the book 26-36. Right after that, it continues to page 100... so technically, I’m missing pages 91-99.

I sure would love to know what recipes and photos are on those pages that I’m missing!

I love all Donna Hay’s books. Great book but as other reviews stated, I was a bit disappointed with the binding of this book, very flimsy and you have to handle it carefully.
Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2014
The book itself is absolutely beautiful. The pictures are amazing, the recipes sound delicious, and my first time through it I had multiple pages marked to try out. However, the one major downfall for me was that upon the first few times of opening this book, the binding fell apart. At first it was just the front cover and the first page that separated from each other, not too big a deal. I thought some glue would easily fix it. Then when I opened it again, the whole binding came undone from ALL the pages. It just fell off. Normal white glue didn't work at all for fixing it, and even super glue didn't make it stay. So I returned it. Then when I got the second book, it did the exact same thing. Super glue DID make it stay this time, but I'm not sure how long that will last as it's clearly not a permanent fix, and now the pages are starting to slightly separate from their binding as well.

Long story short, be prepared to have to either glue the mess out of it to make the binding stay, or maybe just take it to a bookbinder. The glue on the original binding is very poor, and it was really disappointing to have it happen to two different books. I don't believe this is any fault of Amazon's, it's just the manufacturing of the book, it wasn't made well. If the book itself wasn't beautiful and full of great recipes, I would've just returned the second one as well. The recipes themselves make keeping the book worth it to me.

Donna Hay is a recent find for me and so far I love everything I have bought from her collection. I will continue to collect her books and share them with my food loving friends.
I recommend this book and I love her monthly magazine. If you are unfamiliar with her I think you will like this book
and find yourself wanting more of her collection. Cherie Cook

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful seasonal cookbook! A Donna Hay must-have.
Reviewed in Canada on January 7, 2015
If you're a fan of Australian food writer and photographer Donna Hay, this book will be a great new addition to your collection. The recipes are original, beautifully photographed with lovely presentation and are straight to the point. She doesn't ever ramble on about random things as some authors tend to do before getting right into the recipe. I bought it primarily because I wanted something that gave me inspiration for seasonal cooking and a cookbook that incorporated great ingredient pairings. My only vice is that the book binding is fragile and came undone after my first use. An error likely due the poor choice of glue used by the publishing company. Luckily, Amazon's amazing customer service helped me out by shipping out a new replacement and I have been using it ever since. A great buy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bazang!
Reviewed in Germany on July 25, 2013
Great book! Hays' instructions are easy-to-follow and the book is a delightful compendium of recipes for many occasions. I've tried a good number of them with ease and success. The images are very beautiful and don't deviate in style throughout the book; purist, pastel, and always with askew cutlery, making an idyllic life in the country with pc dinner parties in a Laura Ashley dress, suddenly seem like something you always wanted to do. The type of food promoted is fresh and healthy stuff, thick on grilling and steaming, slightly thinner on the puddings, sweets and sugar numbers, although there is something in here for everyone and every season, ref. Title, is covered.
Sometimes Hays' preparations are a little overzealous - for example creaming butter and sugar for 6 minutes (which is a long time) - doesn't seem to make any palatable difference if I do it for 3 minutes, but I suppose that's differentiating one cook from another.
Great value for money, great results, great recipes.
Would definitely recommend further.
