This is cooking for real life - the kinds of recipes you will actually make and actually love. There are plenty of ideas to get you through the week with minimal faff and maximum reward, whether you're at your lowest ebb or striving for elegance: The big list: how to stock the fridge, freezer, spice drawer and moreOn the sofa: sticky-crispy Korean tofu, pistachio chilli, pumpkin and raisin roasted riceAt the kitchen counter: brown butter cornbread, herby mango salad, green chickpea quesadillasFor a gathering: sheet-pan leek latkes, pig cheek and queen bean burritos, smoky rosemary palomasWith a tablecloth: asparagus fritters, miso mushroom rag�, smoky tea chocolate potsFor the week ahead: bread and butter, cure-all one-pan beans, pink onions, caramelised garlicOn the floor: carbonara rice, fish finger and smoked sweetcorn tacos, sausage and rocket gnocchi 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.
