Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Lebanese chicken traybake

    • TrishaCP on September 25, 2022

      This was just ok- the smoked paprika was a bit overdone and also a bit one note. I did really like the potatoes, but the sauce was kind of odd tasting and didn’t add much.

  • Creamy harissa gnocchi

    • Astrid5555 on July 28, 2022

      Perfect recipe after returning from vacation with nothing except some store-bought gnocchi in the fridge. Very quick to make and quite flavorful, hit with the family.

  • Creamy chicken pasta

    • Lepa on December 22, 2023

      This was extraordinarily good. Several people in my family rated it a 10/10. My husband usually complains about tarragon but I think it was essential here and he didn't complain (or notice). I'm adding this to the frequent rotation list.

  • Cod and tahini traybake

    • lesliej789 on August 16, 2022

      This recipe was disappointing. It seemed under seasoned and the fish gave off water while it roasted so the potatoes became soft and lost their crispness. Fennel didn’t need to roast so long- it was over cooked.

  • Hot dogs

    • Futuregirl23 on January 22, 2023

      These are lush. Quick to make and the smoked paprika is beautiful in the onions. I didn’t use mayonnaise (watching my calories) and didn’t miss it - they weren’t dry at all. Massive hit with the kids!

  • Roasted veggie burritos

    • Futuregirl23 on January 08, 2023

      These are really delicious. I couldn’t fit all of the veg into the burritos so we had some on the side, but they tasted delicious.

  • Frozen banana and dark chocolate pots

    • Futuregirl23 on January 12, 2023

      Quick and easy. Loved the chocolate topping!

As we've all been cooking more for ourselves lately, it's become commonplace to run out of ideas or feel fatigued from spending too much time in the kitchen. In Fast Feasts, John Gregory-Smith puts flavour firmly back into the kitchen with a selection of quick and easy recipes, all featuring his signature Middle Eastern twist, which will make you feel excited about cooking again.

The book is packed with exciting meals that are full of flavour and look really impressive on the plate. The best thing, they are all super simple to make, using accessible supermarket ingredients so everyone can feel confident cooking them. Think gooey mac cheese, funked up with rose harissa, ready to rock in under half an hour, wickedly good chicken shawarma and chips – a recipe John picked up from his favourite kebab shop in Lebanon, and a delicious Nutella borek. As well as full recipes, John includes cheats on how to make a simple meal sing, from jazzed-up mayos, quick sauces and zingy spice mixes that you can keep on hand for later or whip up in a few minutes as needed.

Chapters include mid-week lifesavers, working from home lunches, banging brunches, easy entertaining and more. So whether it's killer comfort food, tasty mid-week meal or a fuss-free dinner for friends that you're after, this is the book for you.
