ExcellentNovember 25, 2008 Dot(UK) I ordered this book after watching the television series and I was not disappointed. There is a vast selection of recipes and whilst some of them do contain ingredients that are not easily sourced; the vast majority are very accessible. There are recipes in here that are quick enough to prepare after a busy day and some that would be great for entertaining others with when you have more time. I think that this book is excellent value.

This was rushed to tie in with the TV programme, and a sympathetic editor could have ironed out a few repetitions. But there are some great things here. It is romantic but grounded at the same time, and MPW offers an interesting perspective on the organic / waste debate. The photograph of the Wally Ladd trifle is so elegant and there are honest pictures of hunting, shooting and fishing. There is some terrific dry humour in the commentaries.
I think there is more to be written about and by MPW - he is clearly a great and complex character with many obsessions and talents. He ought to be given a fuller rein and a loyal and loving editor to get to the heart of what he really is and what he has to offer.
