The sample is probably a little too small for me to make a recommendation based on what I have seen, but the three recipes here looked good and well thought out. I'd be interested in seeing more.

Unable to open my sample on any of my devices. However, I have Marcus' other cookbook and he has interesting flavours with recepies that are achieveable for the home cook.

Nice cookbook from one of nation's best chefs. I really enjoyed looking thorough the pages, recipes are well thought out and I am looking forward to trying some of them.

I really enjoy Marcus Wareing's style of writing, and his recipes are great. But with only the three recipes in this sampler I cannot test enough recipes to honestly say I recommend this book or not, hence the three stars. However, the three recipes showcase interesting and unusual combinations - (ginger and fig in the cheesecake, baked feta, and burnt pear with a slowed cooked belly) and make me want to get the book to try out more of the recipes.

These recipes are of the more useful style, being of foods that you would actually cook for yourself, a practical go to cookery book that I would happily buy, but was pleased to review a copy courtesy of net galley

Unable to make a real impression since this is just a taster.

sadly this format won't open in anything I have - it was supposed to be sent as a Kindle file but arrived in an unrecognised format. Sad. I assume the recipes are as exciting as Marcus on the telly, so I have given it four stars in any case.

A taster of Marcus Waring’s new recipe book. Enough to make me want to go out and buy it. Not too chefy, the recipes should be achievable for most good home cooks.

Unable to review this as I could not read the format but having looked in the bookshop, this looks fantastic - as ever by this chef.

Fab cookbook. Delicious receipts with beautiful pictures and easy to follow steps.

Only able to download 1 recipe, but I like Marcus Wareing"s style of cooking so would consider buying this

This is just a sample of the book featuring 3 recipes. I think it is intriguing to use a baked cheese rather than a cheeseboard. The photos of the food made me feel rather hungry.

Marcus Wareing is an incredible chief that I can only dream to cook like, let alone taste his food in person. Despite there only being three recipes in this sample, the text was clear and the end product seemed achievable. I look forward to trying them out myself in the future.

Just had a look at this sampler and love the brilliant photos which make me want to try these recipes. I admire and enjoy Marcus Wareing's expertise and style of cooking so it would be a real treat to have the chance to try some of his dishes. The recipes featured seem easy to follow and I can see would work, unlike some celebrity chefs. I have already put the ingredients to make the Fig Cheesecake on my shopping list to make in the near future as I know friends and family visiting in the coming days would be sure to enjoy it. This book will definitely be on on my Christmas list if not too late! If too late, then I shall be seeking it out to lift the January blues after the festivities. I have now (as of 15th December) made the Fig and Ginger Cheesecake and can report it was a hit with a group of ex-work friends when we met up this week for a get together and it has certainly whetted the appetite for more.

Will not be posting a review based on three recipes but they were all fairly uninspiring. I wouldn't be in a hurry to see the rest of the book.

I would like to thank Netgalley, HarperCollins UK, Nonfiction and Marcus Waring for the three sampler menus from ‘New Classics’ for my honest review.

The recipes look tasty with easy to follow instructions and i have every intention of trying out the Pork Belly recipe over the festive season.

I have every intention of buying this. Recommended.

Some great little recipes to try over the party season. Ingredients are attainable yet still seem luxurious.

I have just kindly received a sampler of this lovely book from NetGalley and look forward to trying the 3 recipes in it. The Honey-baked Feta with Lavender, Thyme and Rye Crisps sounds good but I'm going to have to wait until the summer as I trimmed my lavender back at the end of the summer! The recipes are nicely presented with lovely photos. I've never cooked pork belly but am quite tempted by this recipe for Slow Cooked Pork Belly with Burnt Pear and Nutmeg as all are flavours I like. And the Fig and Ginger cheesecake sounds great too.

Had a sneek preview of Marcus Wareing’s new cookbook ‘New Classics’ which aims to introduce new flavour combinations using seasonal ingredients. Recipes included Honey-baked feta and lavender thyme with rye crisps and also Slow Cooked pork belly with burnt pear and nutmeg. This is a nice teaser and just the sort of simple recipes I like, whether I can find lavender thyme locally is another matter!

Thanks to HarperCollins and Netgalley.
