      Moorish and satisfying. I used half the recipe's shichimi togarashi and will halve again next time as it is quite spicy. Do not adjust if you love spice. If you don't like spice you probably don't have it in your cupboard, so leave it out altogether!

Publishers Text

Better cooking is a lifelong journey. It’s the flick of a wrist, a pinch of the fingers, the whiff of a waft; it’s intuition. It’s muscle memory – from childhood, through school and into your young-adult years – and dinner parties where you learn to keep things simple ... eventually. But what happens when we miss a stage? Or three? The Art of Better Cooking is a collection of more than 75 recipes recipes (plus countless riffs) that you’ll want to cook on a weekly basis, with tips and tricks scribbled in the margins. Featuring confidence-building chapters like Really Outstanding Things Simply Thrown Together (All-seasons Avo Half and Wedge Caesar), through to Loosen the Shoulders (Fried Green Falafels) and building up to Seriously Good Sweeties (yes you can make Salt and Pepper Creme Caramel). All recipes are veg-forward with plenty of suggestions for adaptations and spotlights on favourite produce
