    I've tried tons of Bill's recipes and they are always a success and delicious. It is so good to see someone who is self-taught do so well in the industry. It tells us passionate home-cooks that we don't necessarily need years of formal training, just passion and love of food and we can get very good at it. Thanks Bill for making cooking great food so easy!

    Bill's cookbooks are mostly great, though I find I have to adjust some of his baking recipes for some reason, maybe they don't triple test them. I have been to his darlinghurst and surry hills cafe's and been really dissapointed both times, Bill must not be in the kitchen! Uncooked bacon in a BLT, bad coffee, small things like that. Still his show is beautiful!

A meal doesnt have to be complicated, but it does have to taste as nice as it looks. Your recipes are simple and within the grasp of anyone who loves great tasting food. Keep up the good work Bill-- I hope to make a lot more of your recipes for my family. Toorbul Qld

We are living in the UK now and have loads of raspberries in the garden and would really like to do something different with them.

    I love everything about Bill Grainger. His food is the most straight forward and tasty I've tried. I have more or less all of his books and when I'm feeling a bit down I always pick one up and have a go. Being in the UK I dont get to see him as often as you lucky aussies but really looking forward to his new show.

    Trying to find Bill's Berry and Ricotta Cheese pancakes recipe online. Only found someone who had an adapted version of it. Anyone know if it's available in any of his cookbooks because that's the first 'celebrity' chef cookbook I would venture to buy. I found it in a recipe supplement attached to (Aust) OK! magazine. Also wanted to add that I tried this *incredible* recipe, which worked perfectly first time and tasted much better than I could ever have anticipated, because I was so tired of recipes not working. Just 'cos it's printed somewhere doesn't mean it's a good recip; especially if it's 'published' online. Not big on self-aggrandised 'celeb' cooks. Bill might be my one exception!

    My husband was a "bottle cook" ..."Just buy a bottle of sauce and follow the directions". Now, with Bills recipes, he is a convert to using healthy ingredients and simple good tasting foods...without the need of a bottled sauce. We are buying Bills Food for our Daughter in Law..she has loved the food we cooked from it..expecially the rare roast beef with tomatoes, potatoes and watercress from the first book ..and the chocolate mousse is to die for!. We have three Bills books andthey are our bibles.

    -----> I have three easy simple rules for watching Bill's Food: 1) TiVo it. the show is charming and meditative. 2) close the shades. after the beautiful beach shots and cozy family moments you might find yourself reflecting out the window, and as any fan will tell you, you don't want to miss a moment. 3) whenever bill shoots the boyish grin (ie after every sentence) shoot one back at him. it will brighten your day. ----> LOVE THE SHOW AND BILL. fave tv chef at the moment.
