Description
Book Synopsis"Gurdeep makes things simple: he shows that with a well-stocked pantry and an open mind, ingredients can transport you anywhere you want to go. This book is full of flavour and practical ideas for every cook." Yotam Ottolenghi
Flavour Heroesis a collection of clever, flavour-forward, sweet and savoury recipes that, thanks to a capsule of global pantry ingredients, will satisfy every craving.
With the help of his 15 favourite pantry heroes, Gurdeep Loyal demonstrates how any home cook of any ability can elevate their daily cooking with minimal effort for maximum reward.
Those essential ingredients are harissa, pecorino Romano, gochujang, Thai green paste, yuzu kosho, tamarind, mango chutney, chipotle paste, toasted sesame oil, miso, 'nduja, Calabrian chilli paste, dark roasted peanut butter, instant espresso powder and dark maple syrup.
Each of the 90 recipes shines a spotlight on the unlimited ways these pantry ingredients can be used. From including the smoky-heat of chipotle chilli paste in a Nacho Cauliflower Cheese, to using a spoonful of miso to add savoury-umami depth to Sticky Lemongrass-Miso Lamb Ribs, or even adding instant espresso powder to intensify the chocolatiness of Treacle-Mocha Brownies, Flavour Heroes showcases just how easy it can be, to pack any dish you make with flavour.
In Flavour Heroes, Gurdeep revels in his new and liberating approach to playing with pantry ingredients; one where we can drop the supposed rules of how ingredients ought to be used, and instead lean into the full spectrum of flavours that every ingredient has the potential to produce.
If you are looking for delicious dishes, that you and your loved ones will really want to eat every day, then this is the book for you.
