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!

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.
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.
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!
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.
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

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.
