What people are saying
"Your recipe book is a godsend. I was stuck in a rut with the same boring meals. Since I began using it my interest in cooking has rocketed. It´s so easy to follow and the results are delicious - really tasty and good sized portions."
Susan Acton, Gerrards Cross
"In my view, speaking as somebody who is only a once-in-a-while cook, Recipes That Really Work', is the way recipe books should be written. For each meal it tells you everything you'll need in the way of equipment, as well as the ingredients, and then steps you through the process in a way that gives you confidence and makes it almost impossible to go wrong."
Neil McLeod, Tetbury
"Recipes That Really Work is the best recipe book I´ve ever come across. No other recipe book gets a look in anymore because it takes all the effort out of cooking and everything tastes fantastic. I´ve never had so many compliments about my food!"
Clare Putsman, Sutton Coldfield
"I´m very impressed with the vegetarian recipes in your excellent book. They´re as good as anything I've eaten at The Gate in Hammersmith, which is arguably London's best vegetarian restaurant."
Nigel Warder, Kingswood
"If I had to choose one dish, I'd go for the Ghurka chicken. You taste that first spicy, succulent mouthful and it develops in your mouth into an even richer, deeper flavour. Delicious."
Libby Knight, Tetbury
"I use Recipes That Really Work all the time. It´s easy to follow, everything works out as it says it will and the food tastes delicious.""

"I love your recipes. You´ve inspired me to get on and make a cook-book of my own!!"
Camil Haas, Chef Proprietor Bouillabaisse, Franschoek, SA
"I like everything about lamb Dalaman. It's very well balanced and all the flavours work beautifully together. I also adore the lemon tarragon chicken and the Asian slaw, I could eat them again and again and never get tired of the taste."
Jackie Cleaver, Tetbury
"My partner who doesn't normally comment unless it's to criticise absolutely LOVES 'Recipes That Really Work'. He said it's the only recipe book he's EVER been interested in and is looking forward to trying out some of the recipes. I nearly fainted!"
Julia Robson, London
"I´m really enjoying Recipes That Really Work. The step by step guide is so easy to follow and so far all the recipes I´ve tried have worked out successfully. The shopping lists are brilliant especially for people like me who hate shopping. I´ve shown your book to my friends and now they´re all nagging me to get them a copy!"
Ian Brownlie, Wilts
"The creamy peanut chilli chicken is fantastic and the Asian slaw is loved by all who try it including a Malaysian friend who took the recipe back home, he thought it was that good!"
Margaret Klestadt, Bradford-upon-Avon

"Uma Wylde can transform a ham-fisted, fish-fingered kitchen clown into a masterchef with a wave of her magical culinary wand - just read her book or take part in one of her cookery courses and I dare you to tell me I'm wrong."

Thank you Uma for this inspiration - I feel as if I can now produce something I can be proud of and am dying to eat"
