Good Housekeeping New Aga Cookbook
Ebury Press ISBN 0-09-187092-5

Designed for all oven range users, not just Aga's, all recipes can be cooked in conventional ovens. This book was completely revised and updated in 1999.

As always with the Good Housekeeping Institute all recipes are researched, cooked, as well as calorie counted. Presumably they also taste them as well.

Mary Berry's New Aga Cookbook
Mary Berry - Headline - ISBN 0-7472-7357-X

At one period during your reviewer's working life he was cooking at a country hotel where he had an Aga, a Rayburn, plus a commercial propane oven and electric oven. Rather spoilt for choice.

Unless you have cooked with a range you will find the enthusiasm of owners and users hard to understand. There is a difference in the taste of food cooked this way, I will not endeavour to try and explain as I am not sure that I can.

Although this book is aimd at Aga users all the recipes it contains can be used with other ranges or conventional ovens.

Pick of the book.
