Cuisine magazine said of The Molten Cookbook: ‘Chefs often don’t manage to make the transition of writing for the domestic cook, so it’s pleasing to see a cookbook where the recipes have been tweaked to make them as accessible as possible without losing any of their heart.' Recipes we love: S uper Speedy Fish Pie, Layered Lamb and Veg Tagine and Apple and Cinnamon Porridge Pots. Lots of great tasting recipes - even if you are on a tight budget. I've cooked several things from this book and nearly all of them were great tasting and 'would eat again'. I've found with a lot of cookbooks I've tried before have a lot of meals that are often a bit 'meh' and never cook them again but I've not found that to be the case with this book. His first book, The Molten Cookbook, won Gourmand’s 2011 Best First Cookbook award, and was described by The Press’s award-winning food writer Kate Fraser as ‘a chef’s cookbook’. Who’s the author? Jo Scarratt-Jones is the executive producer for the BBC series Eat Well For Less and the author behind every cookbook to accompany the series.

I did find that the number of portions per meal varies dramatically from 1 - 6 portions most of the time. This often means I've had to reduce the number of ingredients to account for 2 people so that's something to be aware of.
