A great addition to any library looking to expand their cookbook collections. Especially with the start of the new year and the number of patrons looking to eat better and make life changes.

Eating Well Everyday is a re-release of Peter Gordon’s 2012 Cookbook Eating Well. This re-release is timely, because this excellent cookbook should be included in every legitimate cookbook collection. The recipes are easy-to-follow, and call for ingredients that are easy-to-find.

One thing about Peter Gordon as a chef is that he’s not at all pretentious, and some of his recipes even call for canned items such as baked beans and spaghetti. This trait is one that has made him beloved everywhere – not just New Zealand and the UK – he is one of the most recognized and loved chefs in the US, also. His down-to-earth style makes his recipes appealing to every cook from beginner to advanced.

Reading through the book, it will be difficult for anyone to find a recipe that isn’t appealing. There is something for everyone here, from quick and simple to a bit on the gourmet side. The recipes are adaptable to the organic ingredients found at specialty shops and farmer’s markets, but can also be made with ingredients from the grocery store.

Favorite dishes that are up for repeats are Prawn, Watermelon and Lime Salad which is refreshing, lower calorie, and just plain good, Chicken Breast en Papillote with Cherry Tomatoes and Rosemary using ingredients from our summer garden, Chicken and Peanut Coconut Curry, Baked Fish on Tomato Ginger Salad, and Roast Cauliflower and Olives (which is absolutely amazing). No need to skip dessert – Gordon has included plenty to choose from such as Chocolate Mocha Pots with Cinnamon Shortbread, and Ginger Melting Moments.

There are beautiful photographs of most of the dishes, which, of course makes it even harder to decide what to make. This book alone will keep most of us cooking good, healthy dishes for months. Highly recommended, this is one to purchase for yourself and also for gifts.

Special thanks to NetGalley for supplying a review copy of this book.

I made the mistake of reading this when I was really hungry and now I’m even more hungry. The recipes look delicious and relatively easy to make. The book is filled with pictures of the dishes which I love because I’m a visual person; I need to know that what I cook looks like the pictures for the most part. I also enjoyed the authors little anecdotes at the top of each recipe.
If I had more time, I’d definitely make some of these recipes. One thing I did take away from it though, is hollandaise isn’t actually that hard to make.
Great book. Really enjoyed it

The book was beautiful to look at and the recipes were easy to follow. I enjoyed reading through the different sections and felt that there were a variety of dishes to try although some look a little more hands on than the book leads you to believe.

I was searching Netgalley for Ottolenghi's new book Simple when I found out this cookbook recommended by one of my favourite chefs. I decided to see what it's about and I was lucky to receive a copy.

Many of the recipes sound interesting and I would cook quite a few of them. Unfortunately i did not get the chance to do so until my copy expired. From reading the text they seemed yummy though. The pictures were nice although not for every dish.

However, many of these recipes do not feel like an Everyday affair as they seam pretty complicated to me. Well, i am not the most accomplished cook so maybe for others they are very easy but I don't think so. Some required a lot of preparation time.

This cookbook provides some unusual and creative recipes for eating well everyday. You''ll find around 170 dishes from breakfast items, sides, condiments, teas, main dishes to desserts including pastas, soups, tarts, shortbreads and salads.Tastes of lemon, ginger, leeks, saffron, strawberries, pumpkin, fig, leeks, mushrooms and more are found tempting you inside this cookbook.

A collection of super-fancy sounding recipes with surprisingly simple ingredients lists and easy-to-follow instructions. Don't let the fancy recipe names fool you! You can cook fancy, too! My only complaint is that everything is measured in metric. But I need to learn metric anyway, so that's not much of a complaint about this book and more a complaint about how my school never taught us the metric system.

This cookbook is amazing. I made several meals out of it already and enjoyed them all. Definitely recommend!

This is off the chain. The recipes are great. I tried several of them which were delicious and easy to make. I needed healthier recipes and this cookbook has it. Highly recommended.

If you were looking for innovative flavors and textures in your everyday cooking, Eating Well Everyday will be your go-to guide. These recipes will help you kick up your repertoire a few notches.

If, however, you were hoping to find out why the author created the book as he did, you will be sadly disappointed. Peter Gordon has decided not to provide any sort of introduction to the book or any sort of description at all.

The recipes included are a surprising collection of unique flavor pairings. Unusual combinations like Curried Pumpkin, Lentil And Tomato Soup make me want to create it right now, even though I am not a huge soup fan.

Recipe chapters include:

Breakfast And Brunch
Soups
Pasta, Rice And Noodles
Light Meals And Salads
Dinner
Sides And Condiments
Tea Trolley And Desserts

Each recipe includes a short yet sweet introduction from the author and excellently detailed directions. The recipes are very easy to follow.

While the recipes are not difficult to create, do not mistake this for an easy, quick-to-make recipe collection. There is a fair amount of time and prep needed for their creation but the results would be worth the effort.

As these recipes seem to have been built more for flavor than nutritional value, it isn’t surprising there isn’t any nutritional information provided. Other than the ingredients and directions, the only other information is how many servings it creates.

Not all of the recipes in the book have pictures, but those that have pictures have been beautifully photographed.

I really like this beautifully photographed and presented cookery book.
It has a vast range of recipes suitable for every occasion - from the spaghetti and cheese baked cups, which children would love, to the more sophisticated dishes like whisky braised pork belly with shiitake mushrooms and star anise.
All the dishes would look marvellous on a restaurant menu but many are surprisingly simple to make. Some are probably best tackled by more competent cooks but plenty are simple enough.
I dropped a star because I have rather become accustomed to being given an idea of who the author is, their philosophy on food and their purpose in writing the book. This book dives straight into the recipes and I found that I rather missed the usual preamble.
But all in all a really nicely put together book with plenty of original recipes.
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for letting me see an advance copy of the book in return for a fair and honest review.

Interesting cook book. While I love international cuisine and the recipes in this book I had a couple concerns. One is that one needs some translation of words and conversions from English to American. The other is that hard to get some of the ingredients here in America although most could probably found online. As to the writing of the book I felt put in a practical order and loved the little introductions to each recipe. As a cook book collector I feel you should add to your collection but as a cookbook I am not sure how practical it is for at least beginners. I am a professional cook and have trouble interpreting some of theses recipes.

This is a delightful book, providing innovative yet simple suggestions for eating well. Beautiful photographs, and unusual yet easily sourced ingredients, enable you to create interesting, healthy meals. The Creamy Mushroom and Hazelnut soup sounds delish!

Beautifully presented food. Split into Breakfast and brunch; Soups; Pasta, rice and noodles; Light meals and salads; Dinner; Sides and condiments and Tea trolley and desserts. If you're looking for some new and exciting recipes, this is your book! Recipes such as Banana and coconut fritters with passion fruit sauce, Pumpkin, ginger chickpea and cheese soup, Whisky-braised pork belly with shiitake mushrooms and star anise, and Strawberry and ginger-beer jellies are all very tempting. Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC.

Tons of interesting beautiful recipes. Not many super strange ingredients. Easy to read and understand instructions. Great book.
I received a copy from netgalley. This did not influence my review. All thoughts are my own.

This an excellent book, however it is the same as a previous book called Peter Gordon Every Day which was published in 2012.
So, if you have that book, give this one a miss.
If you don't, enjoy the book. Flavours and ideas are wonderful. It is quite an inspirational book for people who want to go up the ladder of culinary delights without that many efforts.
Really worth it for aspiring chefs and the others.
Love it!

Fabulous Cookbook. This book will have you drooling all the way through it. There are amazing pictures to go along with the surprisingly easy recipes. I love how the recipes in this book feature ingredients that are easy to find in your pantry and at most grocery stores that I have been to at least.

The recipes are broken down into section to make finding what you are looking for so much easier. There is breakfast, soups, Pasta-Rice-noodles, Light meals and salads, dinner, sides and condiments, and dessert.. There is also a index at the back of the book so you can look up recipes either by recipe name or by the main ingredient in most cases. What more could you ask for in a cook book?

The recipes in this cookbook are innovative and fusion inspired. So no this isn't a Betty Crocker cookbook. A lot of the recipes I have never heard of or even thought off adding certain ingredients to others to come up with a tasty dish.

I received this book from the Author or Publisher via Netgalley.com to read and review.

Eating Well Everyday is a collection of recipes for delicious meals that can be cooked every day of the week in every kitchen around the world. The book does not follow any particular theme; rather, its aim is simply to showcase a variety of good food.

Advantages:
+ the recipes are clearly divided into chapters depending on the type of meal;
+ they are easy to follow (if not always easy to make);
+ the ingredients are provided in grams, mililiters and spoonfuls (e.g. for spices) - very useful;
+ the photographs are simply gorgeous and immediately make me want to run to my own kitchen and cook;
+ the editing - organisation of text on page, fonts, etc. - is superb, making the recipes very easy to read.

Drawbacks:
- unfortunately, not all recipes are accompanied by a picture, and sometimes the picture by the recipe is of an ingredient (e.g. feta cheese) rather than the finished product. I wish there were pictures of everything (I just like looking at food);
- there's no index of ingredients.

Caveat:
- while the book contains some nice vegetarian recipes, it is generaly addressed to omnivores and the recipes use a lot of meat.

Overall, it is a thorough cookbook with some interesting recipes and many pretty photos. I think it would make a great gift for anyone interested in cooking.

If you're into unusual dishes and an aesthetically pleasing cookbook, this would be a good choice. While I found some recipes intriguing (e.g., Cherry Fritters with Smoked Chicken and Tomatoes, Chilled Cucumber Coconut and Dill Soup), most of them appear to take too long to prepare for my schedule. I'm also one who has to see a photo before I'll make it and, unfortunately, not all recipes have photos. Also, some of the recipes are on pages that have light blue background with white title font--not very accessible choices. Those with vision impairments might not be able to read those titles. I also found the font a bit too small for my liking--I don't want to have to squint at a cookbook's instructions.
