I got a box set containing The 30 minute Cookbook, One Pot Cookbook and Four Ingredient Cookbook from the boss for xmas one year. Never really use the one-pot recipes but the other two have come in handy

These look like slightly different versions of my books by the same authors

yes

That will keep you going for a while in terms of ideas and inspiration.

Although follow it with Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's Meat Book if you want to add the 'why' to the 'how'.
