“My husband saw your cookbook tonight as he came in, picked it up and flicked through ‘Woah… Yum… Did you see the lamb shanks? I’m gonna make those. Oh YUM aioli and prawn pizza. Where’s her roast pork…WOAH! I’m gonna make so much outta here hunny. Now THIS is a cookbook, none of that fancy shmancy crap!’”
I absolutely LOVE your recipes and your book – one of the easiest cookbooks to navigate through with a mouthwatering layout. I won your book through a competition at work, and am slowly making my way through it as per instruction from my partner who so far has loved every single recipe (which is saying something because he is VERY fussy!); after bringing a big pot of your Chicken Cacciatore to a family dinner, everyone in our clan now owns a copy of your book. So thank you for the recipes, the great ideas, and for being extremely interactive with your fans online. I absolutely adore the extra recipes you put up for us. Keep it up!
With insanely busy of lifestyles these days, cooking together & sharing food offers us the opportunity to connect as a family, which is a really important part of our day, being a busy Mum of 3 littlies, I’m budget conscious & often strapped for time. We were lucky enough to win a copy of Chelsea’s fabulous cook book & I can honestly say, since it arrived in the post, it hasn’t left the cookbook stand on the bench top! We love the simplicity of the recipes & the ingredients are often on hand – bonus! We’ve tried so many recipes in the past that have been full of promise but totally under deliver, Chelsea’s recipes deliver every time – full of flavour, delicious food! And… we love the recipes that Chelsea so generously shares on her website/Facebook page. Thank you, thank you, thank you Chelsea, you’re a real gem!
I love food and love cooking, I have hundreds of recipes and cookbooks but none I have used as much as Chelsea’s. It was a birthday gift in May and I have referred to it once or twice a week ever since. There is something for every occasion and I know many of the meals are already firm family favourites!
I absolutely loved your nana’s chocolate caramel slice. By far the easiest yummiest and most successful recipe I have used for this slice. Also found the lemon and lime tarts amazing. Beautiful crisp pastry and the tart filling was so easy to make – foolproof! Your cookbook is beautiful to look through and so easy to read. Thank you!
I have tried quite a few of the recipes you post online. I have yet to be disappointed! As now being on a pension, makes it harder to purchase new books, for me it is so nice to be able to try new stuff still. Thank you for making it possible.
Chelsea taught me that amazing tasting food doesn’t necessarily mean long scary recipes. I love cooking up a storm, and now I’m being braver and bolder with Chelsea’s recipes from the heart. Thanks heaps!
Once you start cooking or baking using a Chelsea recipe you get hooked and suddenly every day you are eating something you made using one of her recipes, either from the book or her blog. Every time a new recipe is posted I’m in a rush to re-organise our meals to squeeze in a new recipe. They are easy, tasty, present beautifully, use ingredients you have in your house and totally addictive!
I would like to thank Chelsea for finally putting out a cook book that is easy for my husband to follow – he could only boil water prior to me giving him the cook book – Now that he is retired and at home most of the day he can try out any of the lovely meals that Chelsea has put together – Thank you so much for this Chelsea and my husband and I both look forward to the second book, which we will pass on to each of our daughters . Love all your hard work.
I have never used a cook book more – in fact mine is already looking quite tattered! The best ever chicken pie recipe, mushroom sauce recipe, pizza bases, melting moments, mousse – just a few I have made and to my great surprise and families delight – all have been HUGE successes!! I just love this book, everything tastes so good and even looks like it should when I make it. Brilliant! Thanks so much Chelsea Winter for bringing out the domestic goddess in me!
I have been following you on Facebook for a while now and check out your page regularly. My husband and I live in our motor home and travel throughout NZ, working and house sitting so I have limited space for cook books though I have been a serious addict for years. Thank goodness for technology as I can access your site instead from my laptop. I love to cook and bake and yesterday I made your Chocolate Chip Biscuits and they are amazing! I’m always on the lookout for new things to try so as soon as I see something you put up I usually give it a go. So while I know you can’t give away everything, thanks for sharing some of your great ideas. Love them! Keep it up Chelsea – I’m a fan!
My husband commented the other night, after I had served up yet another Chelsea Winter recipe, that I used to ‘cook’ for visitors and not for us during the week! I am constantly inspired by your featured recipes AND from those in your cookbook. I am actually enjoying putting the time & effort into cooking – not just for visitors but for us too! Thanks from your BIGGEST Wellington fan xoxo.
I got your book for my birthday and love it. What I like most is that all the ingredients I pretty much have and is simple and easy to follow. So far everything i have made is fab, I try and pick a new recipe to make each week. Look forward to more recipes :)
I love trying out your recipes as they are so easy to follow with simple ingredients and the end result which looks amazing, and my family are loving. I m also loving your Facebook page and love that you answer all the questions personally. Brilliant! You are definitely the peoples cook/chef!
The Roast Chicken Breast with herb sauce was simply the best. I have never in my life cooked anything so yummy, it was like something you could buy rather then my attempts at home cooking. Thanks Chelsea for the no fuss fabulous recipes!
I never buy cookbooks because you can get a lot of really good recipes online, but after ‘liking’ your Facebook page and seeing how you interact with everybody on your page, I went out and got it! Now I look at it more then The Edmond’s Cookbook – which I originally thought was the only book I needed! I love your book and I love your Facebook page and I also love you a little bit too!
Chelsea I’m not a fan of cookery shows but when I tuned into the show that you were on I was glued and became an immediate fan. I’m currently travelling but when I head back to New Zealand your cookbook is on my Christmas pressie list – it will be my perfect gift. You are an inspiration to everyone, a real genuine person with a passion and a gift for cooking – keep on inspiring us!!!
I have not bought your cookbook yet but I fully intend too. I have also been a serial cookbook buyer and although I do use them I now tend to look at the internet a lot more than i used to. I love looking at my Facebook and seeing another recipe from you, it seems nearly every day and reading the little blurb that goes with it. It does make you feel as if you are really a friend rather than a food celebrity. I have probably printed off 95% of them and would have tried most of them, so quite a few. All the recipes have been a success so far so I am very impressed. I love the simplicity of the recipes with ingredients that are not too expensive but look and taste great. I now can’t resist buying your recipe book but keep the fabulous recipes going on Facebook!
I brought your book a couple of months back and actually almost need to but another it has been so loved and lent to friends etc. I love the way you are always adding new recipes to website and don’t forget the humble home cook! So needless to say I have become a huge Chelsea fan. My friends and I are actually planning a Chelsea night where we bring a favourite dish each and have a combined meal (and drinkies of course!) I also like it how you endeavour to reply to all photos and comments/questions that people have which shows real commitment to the community and your fans!!
I came across your website while searching for a recipe for pork belly (that I had bought, but never cooked before) your recipe looked fantastic and also simple! It has now become a family favourite! I have since started to follow you on Facebook and have made several more recipes. Your book is on my Xmas wishlist! Keep up the good work, Chris.
