These super varied every night recipes celebrate vegetables and deliver knock-out flavour but without taking time and energy.There are one-tray dinners, like a baked dahl with tamarind-glazed sweet potato, quick dishes like tahini broccoli on toast, one-pot soups and stews like Persian noodle as well as one-pan fritters and pancakes such as golden rosti with ancho chilli chutney.Onebrings together a way of eating that is mindful of the planet.

Because for eight years now Jones and her bestselling vegetarian cookbooks have been gently edging out chicken pie and sausages in favour of courgette polpette and carrot dhal. Jones, 42, is not short of vegetarian converts. She’s up there with Yotam Ottolenghi and his sumac for the impact she’s had on our culinary habits this century’ Sunday Times ‘One pot, one pan, one tray, one planet. . . And one Anna Jones. One is a big and bold book, as much a call to arms as it is a collection of recipes to fall for. This is a book where thought meets practical action meets deliciousness: where what we eat is no longer about how to look after and delight ourselves but how to look after and protect our planet. It’s a huge achievement.’ Yotam Ottolenghi ‘Every so often a cookbook comes along that raises the bar for food writing. Think Nigella Lawson’s How To Eat or Samin Nosrat’s Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat. The latest chef to join the pantheon is Anna Jones, with One: Pot, Pan, Planet’ Vogue ‘It’s true to say that Anna Jones always delivers: reading any recipe of hers is like receiving a promise of dependable deliciousness. With this book, however, she has given something deeper of herself. There’s so much humanity and wisdom in it’ Nigella Lawson ‘Truly imaginative cooking’ Rachel Roddy ‘Still dedicated to giving us stylish dishes with maximal flavour (think broad bean and green herb shakshuka, and golden rosti with ancho chilli chutney), the book is punctuated with palatable nuggets of information: in chapters entitled ‘Planet I’ and ‘Planet II’, Jones explains how we might combat the climate crisis through small behavioural changes around the way we eat’ Harper's Bazaar

Food waste is a serious issue today—nearly forty percent of the food we buy gets tossed out. Most of us look around the kitchen and struggle to use up everything we buy, and then when it comes to leftovers we’re stuck. That’s where Tamar Adler can help—her area of culinary expertise is finding delicious destinies for leftovers.

The way she sees it, by making something new, you're honoring and extending the labor you put in the first time around." —NPR.org "Breathes new life into every last leftover and scrap... very persuasive... there’s something about Adler's confidence as both cook and writer that is reminiscent of M.F.K. Fisher." —Tejal Rao, The New York Times "A comprehensive, beautifully illustrated and gracefully written resource... a no-waste ethos permeates these many pages with goodwill, humor, and hope.

Flipping through the wisdom within, I found myself wishing I had more almost-forgotten dinners to reimagine.” —Elazar Sontag, restaurant editor, Bon Appetit "If cooking is a basic adult skill, knowing how to make something imaginative out of leftovers is advanced level adulting.

Book SynopsisIt's time to crank up the heat and lose the measuring spoons because the secret to cooking is hiding in one simple motto: MORE IS MORE. In her bestselling debut cookbook, Cook This Book, Molly Baz taught the cooking essentials and put her love for mortadella and dill on blast. In More Is More, she's teaching cooks how to level up their cooking, loosen up in front of that ripping hot pan, and seek deliciousness at all costs. (And yes, there will be more mortadella.) More Is More is a philosophy that encourages more risk-taking, better intuition, fewer exact measurements, and a "don't stop 'til it tastes delicious" mentality.The recipes in More Is More are fit for any day of the week and for cooks of all skill levels. Each recipe will teach a technique or flavour combination that takes Molly's maximalist, "leave no flavour on the cutting board" approach. So crank your ovens! Grab a fat pinch of salt! And if you're going to use an ingredient, truly use it. Just one lonely clove of garlic? Not in this cookbook!Start your morning with a Crispy Rice Egg-in-a-Hole, throw together a Chicken Salad with Coconut Crunch for lunch, look forward to Drunken Cacio e Pepe for dinner, and save room for a fat slice of Ooey Gooey Carrot Cake for dessert. The Only Meatloaf that Matters will teach you the power of re-frying, while Miso-Braised Chicken and Leeks will ensure you never throw away the green tops of the leeks again.Throughout, you'll encounter dozens of QR codes to step-by-step audio tutorials for a hands-free cook-along experience guided by Molly, plus recipe videos to help illuminate some of the trickier skills and recipes.With intoxicatingly delicious recipes, vivid photographs, and Molly's one-of-a-kind playful guidance and whimsy, More Is More will inspire cooks to embrace a fearless mindset to level up their cooking-for life.Table of ContentsIntroPlay by the rulesI still love saltSet up shopCook smarter, not harderRaid my pantyUse this bookA couple SNICK-SNACKS never killed nobodyBe the SALADyou wish to see in the worldMy interests include but are not limited to CARBSWhere there's SURFthere is TURFDon't be a CHICKENThe USDA recommends 9 servings of VEGper dayIf you show me your SANDOI'll show you mineI thought you should know that I rarely eat BREAKFASTSWEETS for salt toothsBig fat thanksIndex

Book SynopsisForget about getting back to the land, David Tanis just wants you to get back to the kitchen For six months a year, David Tanis is the head chef at Chez Panisse, the Berkeley, California, restaurant where he has worked alongside Alice Waters since the 1980s in creating a revolution in sustainable American cuisine. The other six months, Tanis lives in Paris in a seventeenth-century apartment, where he hosts intimate dinners for friends and paying guests, and prepares the food in a small kitchen equipped with nothing more than an old stove, a little counter space, and a handful of wellused pots and pans. This is the book for anyone who wants to gather and feed friends around a table and nurture their conversation. It’s not about showing off with complicated techniques and obscure ingredients. Worlds away from the showy Food Network personalities, Tanis believes that the most satisfying meals—for both the cook and the guest—are invariably the simplest. Home cooks can easily re-create any of his 24 seasonal, market-driven menus, from spring’s Supper of the Lamb (Warm Asparagus Vinaigrette; Shoulder of Spring Lamb with Flageolet Beans and Olive Relish; Rum Baba with Cardamom) to winter’s North African Comfort Food (Carrot and Coriander Salad; Chicken Tagine with Pumpkin and Chickpeas). Best of all, Tanis is an engaging guide with a genuine gift for words, whose soulful approach to food will make any kitchen, big or small, a warm and compelling place to spend time.

Book SynopsisWidely hailed as one of the most influential cookbooks of all time, this is the timeless classic guide to culinary creativity and flavor exploration, based on the wisdom of the world's most innovative chefs Eight years in the making, The Flavor Bible is a landmark book that has inspired the greatest creations of innovative cooks and chefs by serving as an indispensable guide to creativity and flavor affinities in today's kitchen.  Cuisine is undergoing a startling historic transformation: With the advent of the global availability of ingredients, dishes are no longer based on geography but on flavor. This radical shift calls for a new approach to cooking -- as well as a new genre of 'cookbook' that serves not to document classic dishes via recipes, but to inspire the creation of new ones based on imaginative and harmonious flavor combinations. The Flavor Bible is your guide to hundreds of ingredients along with the herbs, spices, and other seasonings that will allow you to coax the greatest possible flavor and pleasure from them. This astonishing reference distills the combined experience of dozens of America's most innovative culinarians, representing such celebrated and transformative restaurants as A Voce, Blue Hill, Café Atlántico, Chanterelle, Citronelle, Gramercy Tavern, the Herbfarm, Jardinière, Jean Georges, Le Bernardin, the Modern, and the Trellis. You'll learn to: explore the roles played by the four basic tastes -- salty, sour, bitter, and sweet -- and how to bring them into harmony; work more intuitively and effectively with ingredients by discovering which flavors have the strongest affinities for one another; brighten flavors through the use of acids -- from vinegars to citrus juices to herbs and spices such as Makrut lime and sumac; deepen or intensify flavors through layering specific ingredients and techniques; and balance the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of cooking and serving an extraordinary meal. Seasoned with tips, anecdotes, and signature dishes from the country's most respected chefs and pastry chefs, The Flavor Bible is an essential book for every kitchen library. For more inspiration in the kitchen, look for The Vegetarian Flavor Bible andKitchen Creativity.
