|author=Simon Hopkinson
|title=Simon Hopkinson Cooks
|rating=4.5
|genre=Cookery
|summary=Simon Hopkinson loves to cook: it’s not just his profession but his passion and not a day goes by but that he cooks. I’m always nervous when I pick up books by professionals: so often [[New British Classics by Gary Rhodes|they forget]] that the amateur cook rarely cooks for eight, ten or twelve people, but Hopkinson is wise. Most of his recipes are for four people - some you could divide or scale up if that was what you required - and they’re all designed on the basis that they’re going to be enjoyed by the family or a group of friends. So, what’s in the book? Meals - a dozen of them.
