Good Mood Food: Simple, Healthy, Home Cooking

great book, easy and gentle read, brilliant recipes. one of the best cooks around today. :)will defiantly purchase his other books.

Love this cook book, very speedy delivery

Food in a hurry or for lazy days. It is good as a student cook book too if you have an eye for some adventure

I love Donal Skehan Cookery Books, but this is the weakest of the lot. The recipe index is very annoying, you will never find anyting, as it is not sorted alphabetically by dish, but in subsections "Dinner", "Side Dishes", and even these subsections are not in alphabetical order. So you really need to have a good think wether "perfect parsnips" was a vegetarian dish or a side dish... or neither.. and then trawl through the lot to find it. It's the daftest index ever. The recipes themselves are a little on the mundane side, Hasselback Potatoes again, mushy veg pasta... a little bit of a re-hash of the Kitchen Heros and Homecooked.

Bought book as gift. Great condition. Arrived quickly

Some really great recipes in this book,, as you to make too, always a plus.

Excellent! Thank you.

Bought as a Christmas present

I previously followed the good mood food blog, but found that after he began publishing cookbooks the updates on the site were less frequent so I decided to pick up his initial cook book attempt, and I was pleasantly surprised. Donal's prose carries over from the blog, and each recipe has a conversational atmosphere and is simple to follow with room for your own additional touches. It's a great book for anyone and everyone, highly recommended.

I'm usually dissapointed with my cookbook purchases; many dishes that look promising end up tasting just so-so, or have such exotic ingredients that are very difficult to find in my area. Not so with this book; every recipe I've tried has turned out very good. It is amazing how Donal can take very simple ingredients, and prepare them in such a way that ends up tasting complex. Even though many of these recipes are posted on his blog, it is much more convenient to have them in a book form. Other than my having to translate oven temperatures, measurements, and some ingredients ("Rocket" is arugula, "Courgette" is zucchini) the instructions are very straightforward and clear. I use this cookbook more than any other I own, and my family and I have never been dissapointed with the outcome. Every recipe is a winner!

lovely book for young folks who start to develop their cooking skills. Really good packing so that it arrived unharmed! Thank you!

I've used and loved this cookbook since it was published in 2009. The author uses easily obtainable, reasonably priced ingredients to create delicious recipes that are easy to follow. The whole family loves it when I make something from this book. Favorites at our house include Favorite Couscous, Irish Brown Yeast Bread, Caramelised Roast Vegetables, and Lemon Poppy Seed Cakeri, but everything we've tried has been good.

I was underwhelmed by the recipes in this book; they're just more basic that I expected.
