Stop shopping and start cooking what you have. Your pantry's
possibilities are endless. Milk Street will help you transform
whatever you already have into bright, bold meals from around the
world. Got a can of chickpeas? It can become anything from a quick
hummus to a curry spiked with sweet carrots, from a garlicky
chickpea soup to a bowl of crispy canned beans with lemon and
scallions. Or grab that can of tomatoes from the back of the
cabinet. It can become spicy one-pot pasta all'arrabbiata,
chilaquiles rojos, a rich shakshuka with poached eggs or a chicken
and tortilla soup. Turn to the refrigerator, where eggs and
leftover vegetables are the start of cheesy migas, a Spanish
tortilla with potato chips or a quick fried rice. Chicken breasts
or thighs from the freezer become Hungarian chicken paprikash or
hearty chicken salad with green tahini. Cooks in Amalfi, Italy,
taught us to turn a wedge of Parmesan and lemons on the counter
into a light yet flavorful pesto. And that's just the start.
Desserts, too, come together easily with ingredients everyone keeps
on hand. These 225 recipes begin with the most common ingredients
in your kitchen, but they provide more than a lesson in
practicality. They teach an improvisational, creative way to cook.
That's when cooking becomes an adventure.
From the pan to the table in no time at all. Included are 85 easy,
budget-friendly recipes to suit busy lifestyles and those with
limited kitchen space. All the delicious dishes can be made in one
of two pans - either a large saucepan or a non-stick frying pan -
and require little to no skill, as directions are just for cooking
over a high, medium or low heat. All the recipes can be cooked on a
gas, electric or induction hob and you will get the same incredible
results every time. Featuring easy cheats and supermarket
ingredients, these are handy recipes to cook every night of the
week. From light and speedy dishes including Just-add-water beef
pho and Vodka risotto with fresh tomatoes, to indulgent and
comforting meals like Sausage and broccoli gnocchi and Sweet
potato, kale and cashew nut curry, alongside speedy sweet treats
such as Chocolate-centre French toast and Baby doughnuts, there are
plenty of surprising, nourishing options that the whole family can
enjoy together.
Following on from the success of Cook Slow, MasterChef's Dean
Edwards returns with over 90 mouth-wateringly fresh and delicious
recipes for perfect home-cooking. Slow cookers are often confined
to heavy winter recipes made with stodgy ingredients and with poor
nutritional content. Cook Slow: Light and Healthy shows you just
how versatile your slow cooker can be with effortless, nourishing
recipes inspired by dishes from around the world. Avoid boring
'diet food' and cook slow to create healthy, wholesome food for
balanced eating. Don't own a slow cooker? Don't panic! The recipes
in this book can be cooked either conventionally in the oven or in
your slow cooker. Recipes include: Coconut Fish Curry
'Melt-in-your-mouth' Teriyaki Beef Vegan Black Bean 'Meatball'
Marinara Chipotle Jackfruit Tacos Crispy Baked Aubergine Katsu
Curry Maple Baked Figs with Granola "I'm not going to go all
scientific on you, but at 70 DegreesC (160 DegreesF) something
magical happens. At that temperature, the so-called tougher of
chewier cuts of meat begin to break down and become meltingly
tender and a joy to eat. Basic ingredients can blend into something
spectacular. Something as simple as a beef stew using inexpensive
ingredients can become a delicious healthy meal the whole family
can enjoy." - Dean Edwards
For author and blogger Chungah Rhee, this cookbook started as a
question: "Could she live to eat and eat to live well?" Two years
ago, she was thirty pounds overweight, completely burned-out, and
hopeless that she could regain control of her eating habits. She
turned to her best friend, Nick Hounslow, an A-list celebrity
trainer and actor. He shared the secret weapon that keeps his
celebrity clients on track and happy: Meal Prep. Meal Prep (or
#mealprepsunday) is the concept that involves taking a weekend
afternoon to chop, cook, and portion large amounts of food into
perfectly-prepared packages for the week ahead. When running out
the door in the morning, you no longer have to worry about making
lunch or the nutritional breakdown of your food--everything is
prepped and ready to go. In DAMN DELICIOUS SKINNY PREP, Chungah
shares her favorite meal prep recipes for every meal of the day,
from delicious protein-packed breakfasts to energy-boosting snacks.
She also shares a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to Meal Prep
and why it works; this book will arm readers with dozens of tools
for making habit changes actually happen, including prep session
plans and checklists, bulk cooking tips, grocery lists, storage
suggestions, and substitutions for special diets. Whether you are
training for a marathon or are a busy parent looking for a way to
make the week a little more manageable, this book will give you the
recipes you need to successfully plan out meals and live a
healthier (and more delicious) life.
'We all have our own battles and in this book, I've decided to be
completely honest about mine. I've struggled with my weight, tried
multiple fad diets, binged on tubs of ice cream and, in darker
times, been scarily obsessed with food. It's been tough seeking
that healthy balance in life: trying to lose weight and maintain it
has been one of the hardest challenges I've faced. But I've finally
found the answer, I've successfully sustained the results and am
sharing my recipes and tips with you in this book, so that is why
this is the happiest weight loss book ever! I promise that once you
read this book, you will never look back.' Connie Simmonds Connie
Simmonds, former marketing manager and make-up artist decided to
get HEALTHY after years of yo-yo dieting and all sorts of attempts
to get 'skinny'. A shocking visit to the doctors aged just 24
Connie was diagnosed with a severe stomach infection and a fatty
liver. This was the wake-up call she needed and since focusing on
her long-term health rather than quick fixes and instant weight
loss, she has dropped 2 dress sizes, sustained it and inspired
thousands to do the same. Healthy Forever comes with 60 delicious,
well balanced meals that Connie has personally devised using her
nutritional knowledge and complete and utter love and passion for
food. You'll find an array of comforting dishes, chocolate recipes
and even recipes for those days that you simply cannot be bothered
to cook. Healthy Forever is like no other recipe book, it is
refreshingly fun and light hearted with touching moments of
struggle and fight. Connie Simmonds' first cookbook takes you on
the most personal and honest journey as she reflects on her past
and what brought her here today as a credible advocate for healthy
weight loss. Connie wants her readers to understand that they are
not alone, the struggle to lose weight is real but it doesn't have
to be forever. You can finally get healthy, lose weight and be
happy, just like she did - not just for today but forever!
