Review:

If your favourite meals are made using the tried and tested method of other home cooks, you'll be pleasantly surprised by this diverse selection of recipes - THE GREAT BRITISH FOOD MAGAZINE on MUMS STILL KNOW BEST--THE GREAT BRITISH FOOD MAGAZINE

The Hairy Bikers know their pies... This is a comprehensive book with notes on ingredients and techniques that are great for beginners - METRO on Perfect Pies--METRO

There are more than 140 drool-inducing recipes bubbling out of this book like steaming filling escaping through a gap in the pastry. Not only are the recipes easy to follow and delicious they also enjoy a garnish of Si and Dave's humour and nostalgic musings for good measure - BBC COUNTRYFILE on Perfect Pies--BBC COUNTRYFILE

Si and Dave focus on recipes that can be rustled up in less than 30 minutes, offering healthy variations on favourites such as kedgeree, curries, stir fries and omelettes. You will use it again and again and reap the benefits of a reduced waistline, too.--CHOICE

What we cooked: White bean and tuna fishcakes and Raspberry and orange souffles. Their way of making fishcakes was much easier than the traditional method. Using cannellini beans instead of potatoes was a clever way to cut down on calories and prep time, and they had a good texture and lovely lemony flavour. The souffles were light, fruity and delicious. Both were easy yet looked impressive - ideal if you have people coming over. Best for busy cooks who want to make quick, healthy meals that don't taste like 'diet food'.--BBC GOOD FOOD

This book is handy for cooking up fast, nutritious meals on hectic weekdays. There really is something for everyone, from curries to breakfast muffins, and they all cleverly cut down on fat and calories.--BBC EASY COOK

The Hairy Bikers have really pulled a fast one, cooking up delicious 30-minute recipes that are healthy, low-cal and really satisfying--PRIMA
