I am so happy that this cook book has been republished. I have been searching for this book for a number of years to give to my daughter. My Mother first introduced me to Five Roses A Guide to Good Cooking and it has been my go to source for receipes and cooking hints for the past 40+ years. I just purchased two, one for my daughter and an extra one, to have on hand. I won't be replacing my copy as it has many ear marked pages and hand written receipes throughout..with so many memories.

I give this cookbook as a gift to all my friends who are just starting out. It's a great book to start with and I still use it all the time.
My grandma and my mum have this cookbook too and they still use it. It's a great cookbook!

This was the first cookbook that I was given when I got married 41 years ago. It gives all the basics. My original copy is missing pages and many are so discoloured from use that I cannot read them very well. When my children got married I couldn't find this cookbook. Most of the books out there are not basic. Try and find a regular cook book that will give you the recipe for 'Standard pastry'. I was so thrilled to find this book at Chapters that I have purchased one for me, my children and one for my niece who is getting married next spring. Thank you so much for keeping this wonderful cookbook alive. All young people starting out today should have a copy.

My favorite cookbook. My mother had one sine I was a child. I just had to get one. I use it all the time.
