Food trends may come and go, but this is a book you will be pulling from the shelf and using for years to come. Be confident that these recipes were created, tried and tested in home kitchens by people who love to cook for their friends and family and want you to enjoy them too. All those pictures of Sharpe and his Chosen Men make it good to look at, as well.

I loved this book the moment I saw it - it didn't hurt that Sharpe & Co are peppered throughout the book, but the recipes are written by real people for real people and it's a pleasure to use them. These women have done a superb job and it is obvious a lot of love and care has gone into the project - the fact that it is in aid of the National Osteoporosis Society makes it a must-have. I would recommend Sharpe Chefs to anyone and hope they consider putting together a companion for it!
