If you already enjoy the
eating part, you have everything it takes to find joy in cooking too. There's no pressure to be a great cook, but everyone can aspire to be a
better cook, and therein lies the fun.
Let Alice Zaslavsky, bestselling author of
In Praise of Veg, lead you on a journey to confident, intuitive cooking. This vibrant kitchen manual contains stacks of veg-forward recipes that you'll want to cook on a weekly basis, but the real gold lies in the handy kitchen skills and know-how that will help build the foundations for a lifetime of better cooking. Start with Slapdash (really outstanding stuff simply thrown together) then move to On Autopilot (great go-tos for weeknights on the fly) and
Making the Most of It (gluts and leftover makeovers). Soon you'll be ready to Loosen Your Shoulders (weekend pottering and entertaining), just in time for some
Seriously Good Sweeties (like, *seriously* good).
Whether you're already a dab hand, you're a battler who finds cooking a bit meh, or you're starting from 'which way do I hold the knife?',
The Joy of Better Cooking has all the inspiration, hand-holding and cheerleading you need to relax into the rhythm and truly enjoy cooking for your family and friends.

'In
The Joy of Better Cooking, the indomitable Alice Zaslavsky injects every page and every recipe with her trademark zest for life and good food. This is a delicious blueprint for how we can all cook better - with confidence and panache - bringing color and brightness to every mealtime.' Hettie Lui Mckinnon
'The first step towards becoming a better cook is learning to be kinder to yourself, to roll with your mistakes, to chase not perfection, but improvement. Alice's approach is not just informative and joy-inducing, it's empowering: you will be inspired to head into the kitchen armed with not just recipes, but the will to make each dish your own. By the time you sit down for dinner, happy and relaxed, you'll already be thinking ahead to your next meal, and what you'll learn next.' J. Kenji Lpez-Alt
'Alice Zaslavsky will burst into your kitchen with her expertise and enthusiasm for food and cooking.
The Joy of Better Cooking is an essential addition to your bookshelf that will inspire you to create many delicious things.' Bonnie Stern
