Keeping with her ethos of 'minimum effort, maximum flavour', these dishes are vibrant, achievable and moreish. 'Effortless innovative cooking and banging flavours' Alice Slater 'Everything is full of flavour and easy' Angela Hui 'Full of realistic, delicious recipes' Bethany Rutter Trade ReviewInspired by a train journey between her parents' home towns of Kolkata and Chennai, India Express is a collection of 75 south Indian and Bengali recipes, and Rukmini Iyer's seventh book. The first thing I made from it was Chingri Macher Malai, spiced prawns in coconut milk, which took minutes to prep, simmered quietly for just under half an hour, and was perfect on buttered white rice. Semolina pancakes were similarly successful. This collection follows Iyer's wildly successful roasting tin series, rightly considered cookbooks for our times. What was it about them? Accessibility? Minimum fuss/maximum flavour? Layout? Trust in the likable, reassuring person who guided you through? All of the above - which, together with more personal material than her previous work, makes India Express a must-have. * Rachel Roddy, The Guardian 'Best Books of 2022' *I am a huge fan of Rukmini Iyer's Roasting Tin cookery books, but her new one, India Express, is my favourite yet... an absolute joy of a book * India Knight, Sunday Times *The most delicious things I ate this year were 'chop' from [Rukmini Iyer's] India Express ... The book is a practical and inspiring delight. Iyer brings her trademark clarity and fuss-free instruction to some of the South Indian and Bengali recipes she ate growing up. It's veg-leaning and full of flavour. I have used the book a great deal and am keeping it in the kitchen because this is the kind of food I want to make after Christmas indulgence. * Niki Segnit, author of 'The Flavour Thesaurus' and 'Lateral Cooking' *An instant classic * Felicity Cloake, author of 'Red Sauce, Brown Sauce' *It's beautiful, remaining true to Rukmini's accessible, flavourful and innovative style * Alice Slater, author of 'Death of a Bookseller' *Effortless innovative cooking and banging flavours * Angela Hui, author of 'Takeaway' *Full of realistic, delicious recipes * Bethany Rutter, author of 'Welcome To Your Life' *Beautiful and mouth-watering * Robert Elms, BBC Radio *Amazing, simple but really flavoursome curry recipes * Trish Halpin, 'Postcards from Midlife' podcast *Packed with great ideas for quick-to-prepare dishes with some punchy flavours * Madeleine Morrow, London Unattached *Absolutely brilliant - clever, speedy, manageable * India Knight, author of 'Darling' *This is Rukmini's best book yet * Stuart Heritage, author of 'Don't be a Dick, Pete' *There are plenty of punchy flavours here and the beauty of this kind of cooking is that it requires so little preparation. * Constance Craig Smith, Daily Mail, for ‘The Green Roasting Tin’ *This book has changed my life * Juno Dawson, for ‘The Green Roasting Tin’ *Wonderful.

Book Synopsis In an era of excessive convenience and disposable food waste, Gennaro’s Cucina could not come at a better time – you will learn how to use simple ingredients in inventive ways, eat seasonally, spend less and, ultimately, eat better. ‘Cucina povera’ is the food that traditionally fed the poor of Italy yet remains the basis of most Italian dishes we love to eat today. It’s a simple philosophy – delicious, hearty meals using accessible and affordable ingredients. Encouraging an ethos of zero waste, Gennaro’s Cucina ensures that every part of the ingredient, and your budget, is put to good culinary use. Along with the majority of post-war Italian families, a young Gennaro was raised on a diet harvested on a limited budget. Restricted choice of scarce ingredients meant they learnt the value what they had, how to cook dishes lovingly and use imaginative methods of preservation to make simple dishes go far: including salting, drying and curing. In this inspirational cookbook, Gennaro takes you on a culinary journey of regional basic Italian staples and turns them into beautiful meals. With tips and ideas of what to do with leftovers, Gennaro helps home cooks squeeze maximum use from the ‘cucina povera’ ethos, turning humble ingredients into nourishing feasts without taste sacrifice. From Sicilian chickpea fritters to lentil soups and bread salads – to more elaborate filled vegetables, delicious ‘poor-man’s’ ricotta dumplings and simple sweet biscotti, this book will transform the way you shop, cook and eat. CHAPTERS:BREAD / DOUGHPASTARICE, POLENTA & GRAINSBEANS & PULSESVEGETABLESEGGSFISH & MEATSIMPLE SWEET TREATSTrade Review‘Proper, old-school classics to use up every scrap’ – Jamie Oliver For Limoni: ‘I can still remember the delight of eating my first Amalfi lemon whole, it was about the time I met Gennaro. Since then his books on Italian food have been a source of inspiration, particularly this one.’ – Rick Stein ‘Passionate, personal and practical, this joyous book will delight a huge spectrum of home cooks.’ – Lovereading.co.uk For Pasta Perfecto: 'Accessible, easy to follow, and full of some fantastic seasonal recipes … there’s something to suit every mood, occasion and skill set.’ – The Daily Telegraph 'This deserves to become a well-thumbed kitchen classic.' – The Daily Mail, ‘Best Cookbooks of 2019’ ‘There’s nothing Gennaro doesn’t know about pasta.
