If you’ve every seen the Australian cooking show “My Kitchen Rules”, then you know Manu Feildel. I was excited to get his cookbook and see for myself how good it was.

Start simple. Roasted Tomato, Basil and Gruyere Melt is a great way to begin. Deep yet simple flavors will lift your basic sandwich to new levels!

My teenage daughter made the Pot-Roasted Chicken with Garlic and Rosemary. While it wasn’t amazing, I think there were a couple technical mistakes that kept it from being great. The chicken didn’t get browned enough and the sauce needed to reduce some more.

From crepes to gratins, tarts to sauces, there are great recipes in here for everyone. Try one of Manu’s dishes–I think you’ll enjoy it!

I received a copy of this book from Penguin Random House Australia through IPG for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
