There's some really yummy recipes in this mob one cookbook. It literally has something for everyone's taste.
Best of all, it focuses on one pan, one pot, one bowl recipes for easy cooking, for all levels.

It's made up of the following chapters.
MORNING ONES, EASY ONES, SPEEDY ONES, FEASTING ONES, FANCY ONES, FRESH ONES, SLOW ONES, SWEET ONES.

The ingredients are all nicely laid out into Grams and Spoons which is brilliant as I really don't enjoy having to use conversions.

There are pictures to accompany every recipe which I love as some cookbooks don't include pictures of the final product, which is a big bug bear of mine.

My only niggle is that it's not entirely ebook friendly. That could just be because it's not a final copy. But I just think it's layout is more suited to a physical copy.

Overall a great cookbook, I can't wait to test out and get stuck in

Really enjoyed this read, perfect for cosying up on the sofa during the holidays.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me for my honest review.

Recipes in here all sound delicious! The ones we made have been scrumptious and easy to follow. I like that each one says how long they take and includes cooling time if needed, and there are pictures of each dish too.
The recipes are split into subsections to help you find the ones you need.

I would say that the list of NM ingredient can be quiet long and require lots of different base sauces (like fish sauce, tamarind, tahini etc) which could drive up the cost of each recipe if you don't already have these in. A lot do the recipes have some level of spice in - my husband and I look forward to trying these but it makes it hard to cook one meal for all of our family at the moment!

A great book for people looking to expand their meal plans!

This book is FANTASTIC. The recipes are phenomenal. Something for everyone and I would say it is 50% vegetarian and 50% meat. Great ideas and really easy to follow. Do not hesitate to pick up a copy of this book!

I’ve followed Mob on social media for a little while but hadn’t picked up one of their recipe books until now. I’m all for an easy life so One seemed like a good place to start!

This book is full of delicious looking recipes and contains beautiful pictures for each recipe which is always a massive bonus in a cookbook. I like to be able to see what I’m going to be making.

A great book for fans of Mob and anyone looking to change he up their weekly menu.

Fab Recipe Book!
I really love the simple yet delicious recipes in this book which are full of time-saving hacks. A particular favourite of mine is the hash brown tortilla which uses crumbled up defrosted hash browns for an incredible brunch and saves so much time and effort in peeling and slicing potatoes! There are a great range of veggie recipes too and I like how the sections are divided into 'easy', 'fancy', 'fresh', and 'slow' etc.
Each recipe is well thought out and explained clearly with mouthwatering photos. The QR codes are also a really great interactive touch to find recipes similar in style to the one on the page.
I'm certainly going to be trying a lot of the recipes in this book as the ones I've tried so far have been delicious and have saved a lot of washing up!

I’ve followed MOB on social media for years so was excited to see they had released a new book. The book is well organised into sections with beautiful photographs making you want to cook each dish. Each recipe is easy to follow. Perfect for those learning to cook new things or those stuck in a rut .

Aware that I've been in a bit of a food rut lately I thought I'd give Mob One , a look. I've used a couple of their online recipes and I love their ethos and that their life started as a student trying to inspire other students to cook.

It's a well thought out book , with plenty of pictures and the instructions seemed fairly straightforward. There is a good variety of recipes and a lot of veggie ones , which makes a change from more traditional cook books which are often split into meats . I've not cooked vegetarian for a while but I will definitely be trying a couple.

The book itself is aimed at young adults and I did find the "yoof " tone a bit irksome but I'm definitely not the target market so I'm not going to get wound up about it . A lot of the recipes I fancied had love or hate ingredients like olives and pickles. I could cook them and leave out the ingredients I don't like but I probably won't. A nice touch though is there are QR codes throughout the book which link to their website - so if you fancy a recipe at first glance then don't like something on the ingredient list you can link to the website and see similar.

A decentish cookbook and a good stocking filler if you have a young adult in your family. If my nephew was a few years older I'd consider buying this for his Christmas 🎄

I love a mob recipe. This book is great as its all one pot meals. Not only that but there is no faffing about or weird ingredients.
There is a good selection of recipes and a range of meals.

I love the concept of the Mob One cookbook and was delighted to receive an ARC of it. Mob One has over one hundred simple recipes that can be made in one pot or pan - this is perfect for the busy cook who does not want to use a lot of equipment or to follow a million steps to make a great tasting meal. There are some great recipes within that have an interesting twist that I cannot wait to try such as the Buckfast stew or the Gochujang chilli. I am not usually attracted to the dessert section of cookbooks but the ones in this book look amazing and more importantly seem really achievable. Mob One is a really useful addition to any cookbook collection.

I’ve got all of the other Mob books and I really love them. Their recipes are clear and straightforward and always taste great. This one is very good as it’s all about one pot or one pan which is convenient, time saving and great to cook. The recipes in this book are very varied and there really is something for everyone.
I would definitely recommend this book. Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for an advance copy of this book.

I was not familiar with Mob - it was the concept and the potential healthy recipes that intrigued me.
What worked for me was the variety and lesser known, creative recipes.

I loved this book!
I loved the chatty way it’s written, like talking to your friends about recipes and what to cook for dinner, and that the recipes are made up of easily accessible ingredients.
Plenty of twists on classics and brand new recipes, there is plenty in here to keep my family happy!

I have been receiving Mob's free cooking emails for while, so I was very excited to discover they were releasing a cookbook.

And Mob One did not disappoint! It is packed full of exciting recipes that don't feel like the same thing I cook day in and day out but don't require exorbitant amounts of time or hard-to-find ingredients either. All of the recipes can be made in one pot, pan or tray, hence the name of the book.

The recipes are divided into six categories: Morning Ones, Easy Ones, Speedy Ones, Feasting Ones, Fancy Ones, Fresh Ones, Slow Ones, and Sweet Ones. Each recipe lists the number of servings, total time to make, categories (e.g. veggie, vegan, gluten-free), ingredients, introduction and recipe, with the occasional helpful tip, alongside a full-page photo of the dish. Each recipe also has a QR link you can scan to discover similar recipes on the Mob website. I can't wait to try the pork chops in a smoked paprika sauce, the smoky cod traybake tacos, and the banana bread skillet cookie!

A recommended read for those who are looking to change up their meal plan with simple, flavourful dishes.

Thank you to NetGalley and Ebury Books for providing me with a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

First of all the QR codes that bring you to more recipes on the website are a genius idea!

This is a great cookbook! With work I find it so hard to motivate myself to make dinner but this will help so much. There are so many recipes to choose from, they are easy to follow and don't require too much in terms of ingredient, equipment, clean up or energy. And they sound delicious! The layout is great and the pictures are lovely. I can't wait to try some of these!

This is a fantastically immersive cookbook perfect for gifting or for yourself. Ideal for people who don’t have masses of kitchen space, are short on time or just don’t like lots of washing up, this book is a must have on your cookbook shelves! I can’t wait to try some of these recipes in the coming weeks. The recipes are unique and exciting without being daunting, and are easy to follow. The photography is also fantastic, it made my mouth water just reading it! I highly recommend!
