      Donna Hay, Australia's most trusted and bestselling cookbook author, returns with a follow up to her much-loved bestselling classic, Basics to Brilliance. When Donna Hay first launched her visually-stunning hardcover book Basics to Brilliance in 2016, she had no idea its pages would become home to some of her (and the country's!) most cherished cult recipes, including that failproof fall-apart slow-cooked beef brisket and the most addictive molten choc-chunk brownies. In Even More Basics to Brilliance, you'll find many more of those much-loved foundation recipes everyone needs in their cooking repertoire, with simple flavour switch-ups and shortcuts to take you from basics to brilliance in the kitchen, including simple and nourishing base stock for ramen (hello, bowls of umami), the tastiest oven-roasted tomato sauce (say goodbye to stirring at the stove-top!) and the easiest, serve-with-everything yoghurt flatbreads, not to mention the fluffiest foolproof carrot cake and a show-stopping Basque cheesecake. Each recipe is followed by clever variations and flavour shortcuts to make them even easier to master, while giving home cooks the confidence to elevate their cooking to delicious new heights. And in true Donna style, there are plenty of clever change-ups along the way!

      Australia's bestselling cookbook author and most trusted home cook, Donna Hay, returns with a beautiful new cookbook that you'll want to use every night of the week. There are endless arguments out there for bringing more vegetables to your table - your own wellbeing, your budget, our environment, the list goes on. Whatever your personal reason, there's one that I think is universal - FLAVOUR. Gone are the days where a sad salad or soft steamed carrots were our only options. These recipes use vegetables in a whole new way, adding so much life to your weekly routine. Who knew broccoli (in my mind the superfood of all vegetables) could make such a delicious pizza base, flat-bread or tart shell? Often for lunch, or even a snack, I'll bake my super-green falafels in the oven and my studio team love them. As for my boys? Their current weeknight request is my crunchy raw pad thai - so yum. Inside Week Light, you'll find all these ideas and so much more. It's essentially my week in food, in a book - super-quick, family-friendly, fuss-free meals made REAL. Vegetables are at the forefront of nearly every recipe, with a few meat options thrown in, and there are lots of my all-time classics re-worked to include more goodness. This book is about using food to refuel and re-energise, while nurturing ourselves with flavour. Happy cooking!
