Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: Brilliant cook book - Wonderful book that does exactly what it says on the cover. Recipes start as basic and then further recipes change the dish into something more adventurous. Bought it as a first cook book for a friend who has been able to easily follow the menus and my son, who really enjoys cooking, found different ways to present the same food. Highly recommended. Review: Favourite Cookbook Ever - This is my favourite cookbook of all time, it's beautifully presented and makes for a fantastic gift. It teaches you how to make one staple and then provides 3 or 4 other recipes that the staple would go in. I've made so many of the recipes and absolutely love them! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 73,753 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 176 in Meat, Poultry & Game (Books) 285 in Party Planning 353 in Restaurant Cookbooks | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (416) | | Dimensions | 22.7 x 4 x 27.2 cm | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 1460751426 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1460751428 | | Item weight | 1.05 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 400 pages | | Publication date | 5 Oct. 2017 | | Publisher | HarperCollins AU | ## Images ![Basics to Brilliance - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81jrKHAhwAL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant cook book *by S***E on 26 January 2018* Wonderful book that does exactly what it says on the cover.
