Publishers Text

It's all in the title: this book is about cooking for real life, for people who don't have all the time in the world for cooking and who need to feed their household quickly, with pleasure and variety. Joanna Weinberg shows how a well-stocked cupboard, freezer and fridge can transform a quick family meal to an impromptu gathering without stress, or the need to rush out to the shops. Joanna explains how to cater for impromptu gatherings as well as cooking for your nearest and dearest. Each chapter solves a particular situation, like 'The Daily Grind', 'Cooking from the Store Cupboard' or 'Treats for Two (or Three or Four)'. Among the delicious recipes - which offer new flavour combinations using familiar ingredients - are garlic chard with egg and bacon on toast; smoky butternut and sage soup; courgette spaghetti; braised venison with thyme and beetroot; twice-baked cottage pie; roast pork belly with rhubarb sauce; tomato, goats cheese and mint salad; garlic and thyme roast chicken; chicken and broad bean paella; butter chicken curry; sweet fennel tart tatin; molten chocolate pots and apple pie. To make this the most user-friendly cookbook on the market, there is a practical guide to good shopping practices and how to build up stores, as well as an alternative index so you can search for recipes that fit a type of food or amount of time you have to cook it in. More than anything, jaded home cooks need ideas for fresh, seasonal, accessible recipes. They need Cooking for Real Life.
