A beautiful cookbook full of delicious cost recipes that I can’t wait to feed my family .The photography is gorgeous a pleasure to look at.This would make a perfect gift.# NetGalley # cosycooking

So many easy to follow recipes including some classic recipes like bubble and squeak to beetroot risotto. The illustrations in this book are beautiful.

What a lovely book and cookbook with great illustrations and fun. cosy recipes that can be made and enjoyed by anyone and everyone. I have already started cooking me way through this book and will be cooking more over the coming weeks, months and years. The recipes are easy to follow, the food is cosy and warming and I enjoyed all the hints and tips included as well.
We need more cookbooks like this and I thank you again for bringing such a lovely cookbook to my attention.
Thank you NetGalley and Collins Reference/National Trust Books for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

a great cookbook absolutely jam packed with comfort food recipes and ideas. Perfect for wintry nights or family dinners. The recipes are well set out and easy to follow

This is a decent and fresh cookbook with easy to follow recipes with accessible ingredients, and recipes of food served at National Trust sites.
It was refreshing to see illustrations rather than photos.
There were a couple of recipes that I found inspiring.
The tips and extra information were handy and plus, this would be quite handy for entire beginner cooks.

I really like this book! Recently I have been bored by a number of new cookbooks but this had many recipes I am keen to try (Hot honey halloumi with squash and chickpeas sounds amazing). There were a lot of vegetarian options and even some vegan recipes.
Each recipe has a short but helpful introductory explanation, and there are tips and suggestions at the end of the recipes too. The instructions are presented in a clear and easy to read way, with helpful notes stating preparation and cooking times. Nothing sounded too unusual or complicated.
Although I normally like and appreciate photographs of recipes, I didn't actually miss them in this book - the hand drawn pictures scattered through are cute.

I love that at the top right of every recipe, there is a box that lists out the number of servings, prep, and cook time, and if it is vegan or gluten-free. The recipes themselves are approachable, with easy-to-follow instructions and ingredients that are easily found for a standard home cook. The tips at the bottom of each recipe are also appreciated.
In my opinion, the sign of any good cookbook is photography. A good photo can inspire and get someone excited about what to cook, rather than it being a chore flipping through the pages trying to figure out what to cook. The lack of photography in this cookbook was disappointing, especially as the recipes themselves are standard mainstays, but well written and thought out.!

The National Trust are reliable publishers of quality books and this one is no exception. I really enjoy their range of cookbooks which are always very enticing, beautifully illustrated and full of straightforward recipes using ingredients you’re already likely to have in your cupboard. This one is full of things I want to make, especially during autumn and winter, and there’s a really excellent range of vegetarian recipes which all look equally as delicious.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advance copy in return for an honest review.

I really like National Trust cookbooks predominantly for their design and this one is no different. The illustrations match so well with the ‘cosy vibe’.
I liked the mixture of recipes, both old school and some new to readers, and found the recipes easy to read and follow. I’m looking forward to trying some of the recipes out!
