Caring about getting the maximum value out of the ingredients we buy and cook is now second-nature for most cooks. And reduced food waste goes hand-in-hand with spending less of course. It's also about exploring a wider range of ingredients, from seasonal vegetable and fruit gluts to interesting cuts of meat and fish. There is great pleasure to be found in cooking ingredients when they are at their best and in using any leftovers smartly (which neatly saves work for the cook too). As always with Diana Henry, flavour is the key. More than 300 delicious recipes in this book are sourced from cultures around the world that know a thing or two about getting the most out of as little as possible. Cook ahead, make the most of gluts from the garden, magic what's left over into a delicious new meal that takes little time. There is no sense of going without here - it is all about the pleasure of making the most delicious use of everything available.

Gujarati cuisine is traditionally boiled, baked, steamed, or stir-fried – creating light and healthy meals that are still packed with flavour. This cookbook explores authentic cuisine from the west coast of India – with recipes adopting the region's explosive combination of sweet, spicy, and sour flavours. Unlike the heavier curries and deep-fried foods that we often associate with Indian cuisine, From Gujarat With Love offers a new insight on cooking appropriate for vegans, vegetarians, and anyone who wants to create meat-free meals. Featuring easy recipes for classic small plates, popular street food, and everything in between — from bite-sized appetisers and filling dals to classic curries, decadent desserts, and refreshing beverages. Vina Patel has made her recipes accessible for home-cooks everywhere, including prep and cook times, and any relevant dietary requirements for each recipe. Chapter outline: Introduction (includes an intro to Gujarati Cooking, Cooking Techniques, Essential Ingredients and Basic Recipes) Chutneys and other condiments, Salads and Raitas, Appetizers, Dals and Soups, Curries, Breads, Rice and Khichdi, Drinks and Desserts.
