Containing an abundance of inviting recipes The Great British Farmhouse Cookbook could be a real favourite with such delights as various slow cook roasts, beef and barley cottage pie, braised steak in ale with a herby cobbler topping, warm English chicken salad with tarragon salad cream, and many more hearty and homely dishes. Some of the recipes are I feel a little unnecessarily complicated, for example the marmalade-glazed gammon suggests when soaking the gammon to check that it is ready recommends slicing off a small piece, simmering in it water and tasting it to see if it is still salty - apart from the fuss do this too often and there will be little left to roast.

But that is a minor complaint, for I have, for me, a more serious misgiving: I find the book very difficult to work from due to the graphics. The basic layout would be OK if it was adhered to throughout and not complicated by other factors, but occasionally it get a trifle chaotic. Even worse is the typography. A rather heavy typewriter font has been employed (a font with all characters of equal width) which does not make reading easy (the varying width of characters is one factor that makes recognition easier). Making it even harder to read is that each page has a coloured ground, sometimes patterned of mottled, and sometimes black with the type white - none of this makes for easy reading.
