Cooking doesn't have to be complicated - that's why Jamie's 5 Ingredients - Quick & Easy Food is sure to become your new best friend in the kitchen.
It's all about making the journey to good food, super-simple. Every recipe uses just five key ingredients, ensuring you can get a plate of food together fast, whether it's finished and on the table super-quickly, or after minimal hands-on prep, you've let the oven do the hard work for you. We're talking quality over quantity, a little diligence on the cooking front, and in return massive flavour. Each recipe has been tried and tested (and tested again!) to ensure the book is packed with no-fuss, budget-friendly dishes that you can rustle up, any day of the week.
With over 130 recipes, and chapters on Chicken, Beef, Pork, Lamb, Fish, Eggs, Veg, Salads, Pasta, Rice & Noodles and Sweet Things, there's plenty of quick and easy recipe inspiration to choose from. Think Roast tikka chicken - a whole bird rubbed with curry paste and roasted over golden potatoes and tender cauliflower, finished with fresh coriander. Or, Crazy simple fish pie - flaky smoked haddock, spring onions, spinach and melty Cheddar, all topped off with crisp, golden filo, and ready to tuck into in less than 30 minutes. With every recipe you'll find a visual ingredient guide, serving size, timings, a short, easy-to-follow method, and quick-reference nutritional information.
This is Jamie's easiest-to-use book yet, and the perfect cookbook for busy people.

70 DELICIOUS RECIPES TO SIMPLIFY YOUR LIFE. 'One easy shop and a
week of speedy suppers.' The Times 'The idea is simple: present a
shopping list of goods and you then rustle up meals for the next
seven days, saving time, food and money.' Balance Magazine 'The
food Ian cooks is always so simple, healthy and tasty.' Joe Wicks
'Realistically achievable, not requiring unfeasible amounts of
ingredients, skill or time,' Men's Health Say goodbye to multiple
trips to the supermarket and to wasted food at the end of the week.
The 7-Day Basket is the cookbook you have always wanted. Each
chapter starts with a shopping list for the week ahead, followed by
seven varied dinners to see you through the week. No more wandering
aimlessly round the supermarket wondering what to cook for dinner,
this book plans your week ahead, and will have you doing your food
shopping in no time. With 10 chapters in the book, Ian does the
hard work for you, so all you need to do is shop, cook and enjoy.
The secret is all in the planning and Ian's concept means you end
up with very little waste as many of the ingredients in the recipes
overlap. 1 shopping basket + 1 week = 7 dinners. Each recipe serves
two people but simply halve the ingredients if you're eating on
your own, or double them if you are a family of four. This will
quickly become your go-to recipe book and with your weekly
meal-planning sorted you'll no longer be faced with the dilemma of
'what shall we have for dinner tonight?' Example basket: Monday:
Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Popped Tomatoes Tuesday: Middle Eastern
Lamb with Toasted Breads & Sage Parmesan Oil Wednesday:
Spaghetti Alla Norma Thursday: Tomato Feta Salad with Toasted
Pistachio, Apple & Pomegranate Friday: Spicy Sesame Sea Bass
Noodles Saturday: Mexican Smoked Chicken Burger, Avocado &

Hugh's River Cottage Veg Every Day! became the UK's best-selling
vegetable cookbook, persuading us through sheer temptation to make
vegetables the mainstay of our daily cooking. In this
much-anticipated follow-up, Hugh delivers more irresistible
recipes, and this time, takes things one step further. Fuelled by
his passionate belief that plant foods should be the dominant force
in our kitchens, Hugh has put cheese, butter, cream, eggs, and
refined flour and sugar firmly to one side. Instead, he uses veg,
fruit, wholegrains, nuts, seeds, spices and cold-pressed oils to
explore the length and breadth of what can be achieved with
natural, unprocessed plant foods. River Cottage Much More Veg!
makes it clear that unadulterated ingredients are the very best
building blocks for delicious and healthy meals. In typical Hugh
style, the recipes are easy, utterly foolproof and delicious. All
but a handful are gluten-free, and at least half the dishes require
20 minutes (or less) hands-on work time. With recipes such as Roast
squash and chickpeas with spicy apricot sauce, Blackened
cauliflower with pecans and tahini, Spiced beetroot, radicchio and
orange traybake, Celeriac and seaweed miso broth, Seared summer
cabbage with rosemary, chilli and capers, and Baked celery
agrodolce, River Cottage Much More Veg! demonstrates how easy it is
to make versatile, plentiful and delicious vegetables the bedrock
of your diet.

WINNER OF THE ANDRE SIMON AWARD 2021 SHORTLISTED FOR THE FORTNUM
& MASON FOOD AND DRINK AWARDS 2022 ___________________ 'I love
Dee Rettali's baking - she is obsessed with flavour. A bold and
beautiful book' DIANA HENRY The 90 recipes in this book are all
about beautiful, natural flavours from quality ingredients like
fruits and spices. Dee Rettali is an artisan baker who, over a
lifetime of baking, has honed her recipes to bring out intense
flavour using forgotten craftsmanship. Dee's cakes, created for her
bakery - Fortitude Bakehouse in London - are a world away from
generic cakes loaded with sugar or artificial flavours. Many of her
recipes are incredibly simple one-bowl mixes, brought together by
hand and with no need for fancy kitchen equipment. The batter can
be baked then or, to heighten the natural flavours and reduce
sweetness further, left to slightly ferment in the fridge. This
technique allows you to prep ahead and simply bake the cake when
you want it. Some other recipes use a sourdough-like starter as a
base to which any combination of seasonal flavours can be added.
Dee has roots in both Ireland and Morocco that have inspired the
unique flavour combinations in her bakes, such as: * White grape
and rosemary cake * Marrakeshi mint and orange peel sourdough loaf
cake * Blueberry and lime little buns * Turmeric custard and roast
pear brioche buns * Chilli-soaked date and oat loaf cake This is a
cutting-edge way of baking and at the same time it has antecedents
in Dee's past. Growing up in rural Ireland, seasonal and no-waste
baking was simply a way of life. This book brings this back to life
in a thoroughly modern way. ___________________ 'This isn't just
another book about baking; it's a whole new way of approaching it'
