'Inspiring and joyously delicious' NIGEL SLATER

'Deeply warm and encouraging' NICOLA LAMB

'So much to love in this book' ANNA JONES

No-knife potato curry, cumin lamb ragù, turmeric satay salmon, marinated bavette, and kimchi remoulade; breakfast bars, rhubarb and custard, lemon curd cake, and one-bowl cannelés. This is cooking for real life – the kind of recipes you will actually make and actually love.

Roasting a chicken. Planning for the week ahead. Throwing a party (for three or thirty or more). Baking fail-safe cookies (for when failure to have cookies really isn’t an option). The Kitchen Book is your source of wisdom for the 4pm what’s-for-dinner panic, and the definitive answer to: ‘Maybe just toast and an early night?’

These are recipes that will stick with you for life.
