Kitchen - recipes from the heart of the home

More about the book

Fabulous feel-good food to make life less complicated and more pleasurable. Compendious, informative and engaging, Kitchen offers feel-good food for cooks and eaters that is comforting but always seductive, nostalgic but with a modern twist - whether express-way easy-exotic recipes for the weekday rush, leisurely slow-cook dishes for weekends and special occasions, or irresistible cakes and cookies in true 'domestic-goddess' style. It answers everyday cooking quandaries - what to give the kids for tea, how to rustle up a meal for friends or an impromptu kitchen party in moments, or what to do about those black bananas, wrinkled apples and bullet-hard plums - and since real cooking is often about leftovers, here one recipe can morph into another... from ham hocks to pea soup and pasties, from braised chicken to Chinatown salad. This isn't just about being thrifty but abou beon creative and seeing how recipes evolve.
