-- Reviews by the Famous and well Known

You don't have to be a Gordon Ramsey or a Gary Rhodes to have a flair for cookery, and with her delightful and varied recipes, Lia proves to us that she definitely has "the flair". Lia's recipes also prove that there's no need to hold a Michelin budget to produce tasty and unusual dishes!
Sheila Collins, Author of 'Truffles Diary' & 'Truffles' Diary: One Year On'

I've never owned or read a cookery book before, and so I can only say this is well presented and looks great. The recipes look good and are set out in an easy to follow manner. Well done, and look forward to the next one!

This book is well written and the presentation was delightful. Having tried and tested several recipes I was very impressed.

Lia's Cookery Book
Lia's Cookery Book is Lia Christinia Farrow's dream in print – it is a self-published book which means that the author pays for the design and print, something that means they literally put their money where their mouth is.
Lia originally comes from Romania and brings her passion for cooking and her enthusiasm to her recipes, which reflect her interest in all cultures. She uses everyday ingredients that you would find in your storecupboard or supermarket. Dishes like Roast Beef Coleslaw, where home made coleslaw is made into roast beef cornets are an interesting way of serving a salad with meat and if you have ever been in a Romanian restaurant, you will recognise the presentation. Many of the recipes are British (Beef Roly Poly), Italian or French – it is a pity that we don't see more of Lia's home cuisine. I am sure there are lots of Romanians out there who would love to have a book of familiar recipes when they are away from home. Romanian Lamb Stew is an exception – it looks like a cross between an Irish and Italian stew with lamb, haricot beans and potatoes.

I especially enjoyed the Romanian Chicken and Rice recipe. Beautifully illustrated with easy and quick to prepare delicious recipes. Lia’s cookery book is a must for every kitchen.

This book is easy to use, it provides delicious simple to use recipes which apart from being quick to prepare are also inexpensive. Most of the ingredients are in everyday use. Ideal for someone coming in from work or a housewife/house husband.
Mr Burnell

I enjoyed reading the recipes and there are some I will definitely try out.
Nicola Treharne
~

A well set out book, with plenty of recipes that are very easy to prepare - all the ingredients in the recipes are readily available from your local supermarket, so no endless hunting in specialist food stores. This book will be one that I will be locking to for some awesome family meals and I am sure that it will get the hands up from others who read and use it too.
Sara Say

A brilliant book. Some very appealing pictures of the dishes which I am going to try.
JJ Bett

The recipes look gorgeous. The instructions are easy to follow and I’m particularly looking forward to trying out the cherry cake and steak mince & vegetables – which is actually a lot nicer than it sounds! A great book!

Some excellent recipes here, my favourite one is liver, bacon & mash pie - really delicious!
Melanie Harrill

Good simple recipes, I loved the loaf cream cake decorated with coconut – a brilliant price for a book!

This book has some delicious recipes.
Edith Ashman

This small cookery book beats some of the larger cookery books in my possession. I think some the meals which I have tried are economical and prices matter to me. A lovely little cookery book.
Barbara Mottram

A very useful book – I have just decided to try and cook more homemade meals and had no idea where to start. So this book is great. From starters to every kind of main course, and lots of delicious desserts, there is lots of choice to please every pallet!

Just the cookery book I needed! Nicely written and fun to read, it has a wide variety of recipes with clear instructions. A number of dishes that I have tried so far have worked fantastically well and have been enjoyed by my family. Most of Lia's recipes contain a stack of fresh ingredients which I particularly like to use - raspberries are my absolute favourite! I would recommend this book to anyone who is keen to try out tried and tested recipes which Lia has added to and varied or who would like to try something a little new and different. Well done Lia - hope you write another book soon!

I think that this cookery book was extremely well presented and with great detail. The front cover has got a good use of picture and all the text is easy to read. I tried a few of the recipes and thoroughly enjoyed each one. My favourite dinner was the 'Christina Bolognese' because it had a good flavour, a nice variation of vegetables and was simple to make. My favourite pudding was either the 'Summer Fruits Crème Trifle' because it had a beautiful appearance, it's colourful and a good use and mixture of fruits.
Ruby Knights

Whether entertaining to impress or cookery a nutritious family meal I do not think you could find a better, very reasonably priced cookery book than Lia’s, with its many delicious recipes using fresh herbs, as well as a variety of easily obtainable ingredients from local supermarkets. I loved the clear print and compactness of this cookery book, as I have a small kitchen and do not need a cookery book weighing 4 or 5 pounds and measuring nearly a square foot!
Joan Dee

Mouth-watering recipes!
S. Feeney

Bright and attractive! Very easy to follow recipes for the beginner to more experienced cook. A winner for those wanting to try their had at more adventurous recipes.
Mrs J Anderson

A very interesting cookbook full of unusual recipes, i.e. Romanian chicken & rice that you would not find in every other cookbook. That is what sets this book apart, it is not written by a TV chef, it is written by someone who has a deep passion for their cooking and the recipes are easy to understand and follow. The author has created these recipes herself with a twist on old favourites. A burger becomes jumbo steak mince burger with onion and pepper sauce. A lovely combination that immediately sets the palette watering with anticipation. To sum up I recommend this book wholeheartedly whether you are a novice cook or an experienced chef there is something in it that will appeal and delight.
