Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Smoked mackerel pâté and quick pickles

    • Indio32 on February 20, 2022

      Had all of the ingredients so made this for a light lunch with the addition of a carrot & fennel salad. Easy to make. Nothing to write home about. Found the quick pickles overly sweet and the pate needed a more assertive amount of coriander & fennel. Used a sliced Polish soughdough as due to storm Eunice couldn't get my usual.

  • Sardine and lemon linguine

    • Wlow on September 30, 2022

      Very good but rich! N and I particularly liked it. Doubled recipe for 3 people plus leftovers. For that quantity needs 12” frypan or mixing pasta and sauce in the pasta pot instead of frypan.

  • Tuna, tomatoes, and gnocchi

    • Beth891 on July 28, 2024

      Really tasty and one to make again. I used gluten free pasta and it was tasty and worked pretty well but with gluten free pasta in the future I'd give it a few mins less cooking time. Otherwise one to make again!

Publishers Text

Our kitchen cupboards are full of cans - tomatoes, chickpeas, tuna, kidney beans, sardines, sweetcorn, even figs - that often are used as an addition to a recipe but never the main ingredient. Take One Can is a celebration of canned ingredients, offering 80 recipes that take one can and make it the focus of the meal.

Arranged to showcase the range of canned ingredients available, the chapters begin with the staple that is Beans and Pulses, followed by Tomatoes and Vegetables, which play a central role in countless dishes, then Fish, and finally Fruit and Sweet Cans. The last chapter offers a few tasty accompaniments to eat alongside your meal. Lola's creative but simple recipes, such as jackfruit & red kidney bean chilli, sweetcorn fritters, pumpkin and chocolate loaf and pineapple, coconut & lime upside down cake make the absolute most of ingredients you will already have, topped up with one or two fresh ingredients. Substitutions are also suggested should you not have every ingredient on hand.

Save money, be creative and waste less food by looking in your cupboard instead of visiting the supermarket.
