Life’s Too Short to Stuff a Mushroom: Really good food without the fuss – foolproof recipes, shortcuts and hacks by Prue Leith

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by this book. Written by a well known cook but focusing on the reality that not every home cook has the time, let alone inclination, to be exceptionally fussy about cooking. Sometimes you really just need (want) to make use of shortcuts.

While this is not a huge book, there are some interesting features that could be useful for those who would use and appreciate them. The hacks and tips are useful but I think the QR Codes that will take the reader to videos showing how to do something might be the book’s best benefit.

All of this makes the book useful to every level of cook.

I think this is one worth taking a look at and maybe even trying out a couple of the recipes.
