The secret ingredient is a cookbook geared toward a recipe with more flavor due to a secret. The author gives you an ingredient to add to recipe favorites such as Macaroni and Cheese, Fish tacos, or banana bread. A secret ingredient that somehow makes the flavor.....more.

What did I like? Even though most of the secret ingredients you already have on a spice rack or as a staple in your cupboard... you just wouldn’t think to pair it. Still some make absolute sense and some sound so yummy. I’ve already picked a handful I would love to try. The author even adds a drink section at the back for some alcoholic suggestions. The book spanned breakfast, entrees, desserts, and main dishes along with sides. From Waffles to some gorgeous looking fish tacos. The pictures in this book were outstanding!

Would I recommend or buy? I would definitely love a copy of this book so I’m adding it to my wishlist. Publication is still a year off. The cover is just gorgeous... look at that macaroni and cheese. The copy I received had no calorie information, so that was the only thing I really missed. Still a picture pretty much for most of the recipes, all of them gorgeous. Still I loved a ton of the recipes in this book and look forward to trying.

I received a copy to read and offer an opinion. A lovely cookbook with a unique twist... the secret ingredient! Five stars!

The Secret Ingredient presents interesting twists ofclassic recipes with just minor amendments/added ingredients , and a lot of these really made my mouth water! The photography is absolutely gorgeous, but I kind of wish that there were actually pictures for every recipe!  

While I haven't gotten to try any of them yet, I definitely will in the future! The twist on a tomato soup with cheesy bread and pumpkin mac&cheese to name just a few sound absolutely divine!

This is great has lots of normal looking recipes. The secret ingredients really make a deference and have changed my cooking.

All thoughts and opinions are mine

FINALLY!!! A cookbook full of recipes I can't wait to make!!! There's usually some duff recipes but I genuinely loved every one - presented in such an accessible way too

I loved this - when it is finally published I shall be rushing to buy this - can't wait to get my hands on this!!!
What did I love so much !! So many things!!

I loved the way the book is sectioned out
I loved the fact that the recipes are set out almost like recipe cards
Each recipe is presented in such a way that makes them very 'doable'

The photography is gorgeous and done in such a way it makes you want to make the dishes

The recipes are perfectly pitched - can be made for everyday but also good enough to make for special occasions.

Suitable to cooks who are both beginners and those more experienced plus families

A fantastic all rounder !!
