If I do it again I would use at the most half the amount she suggest. I did the pea and parmesan risotto last night but the quantity of butter was far too much.

He's got little kids so he throws in quite a few kid / family friendly recipes to. Really nice and healthy food, but not sooo healthy it's boring if you know what I mean! I'd recommend his latest one, called Everyday, got a gorgeous recipe in it for pitta pizzas, didn't think until I tried it but pitta bread makes gorgeous pizza bases. PS The pancetta in TRs bolognaise recipe is what definitely makes it, that and it's long cooking time, makes it really nice! Ooh Bill Granger is fantastic, the god of Australian cooking.

Am liking the idea of adding pancetta to my usual one. Thanks. I hadnt heard of Bill Granger, despite what seems to be an enormous number of cookbooks. Now I'll just have to get one of his to add to the collection! Hi J,

I also like the ham and cheese muffins and the pastry pizza wheel thingys are gorgeous, although don't look like anything in the photo (and I'm not too bad a cook). All in all I loved the book and convinced all my friends to buy it, however I agree when a lot of them said there were too many cloying photos of Tana and her family and not enough of the food and it could of been proof read a little better (the lentil and chicken recipe for example lists something in the ingredients that then doesn't appear in the instructions, although the chicken and lentil recipe is still really nice). Still, I'm really looking forward to her new book amongst other good cookbooks that are coming out this autum (see http://lacer.wordpress.com/2007/07/16/a-quiet-week-ahead/). I feel the need for some new cookbooks to, as stuck in a bit of a cooking rut to, recycling endless Bill Granger recipes or so it seems. Happy cooking Hi
