Anyone who believes the misnomer that English food is bland and boring hasn’t read or cooked from Life's Too Short to Stuff a Mushroom: Really good food without the fuss - foolproof recipes, shortcuts and hacks, by celebrated television personality and cookbook author, Prue Leith. She has released a fun cookbook full of not only mouthwatering recipes, but also hints, tips, and hacks to make it easier to cook dishes without any fuss. Her delightful personality comes through in the prose, and readers will want to curl up in a corner and read this delightful book before starting to cook almost every recipe she includes.

The recipes are written in the traditional manner with the ingredients listed first, followed by step-by-step instructions, as well as tips that will help make cooking easier. The recipes are easy to follow and anyone – those who love to cook and those who don’t – will be able to make the dishes successfully.

A good cookbook must include photographs, and this one includes beautiful, professional photographs of almost all of the dishes. The photos reflect the variety of the dishes and make it difficult to decide what to make next. Leith has a good imagination and makes if fun to choose from the dishes since most are very appealing. This cookbook is proof that English food is delicious.
