Simple, Delicious Recipes Using Pantry Staples

Tin Can Magic

Tin Can Magic does exactly what it says on the tin &ndash; simple, delicious recipes using tinned ingredients. Jessica Elliott Dennison understands the importance of having a capsule-wardrobe style cupboard of cheap, familiar tinned items that can be tweaked every week to create an interesting, seasonal menu. This book helps you do just that &ndash; focusing on easy meal solutions based around what readers might already have to hand, with smart ideas for adding flavour, freshness and contrast. Try your hand at Chilled chilli tomato noodles with crispy garlic and sesame; Za&#39;atar roasted chicken and whipped butter bean dip with burnt greens and lemon; or Crispy coconut milk pancakes with prawns and garlic vinegar. If you&#39;re in the mood for something sweet, why not rustle up the Set lemon pudding, Hazelnut frangipane cherry galettes or Miso-salted caramel? Tin Can Magic shows you that, with a little bit of guidance, and a tin or two from the back of the cupboard, you can create mouthwatering meals for any night of the week.

Salad Feasts

The wonderful thing about making a salad is that it&rsquo;s a relaxed, stress-free way of cooking, with endless possibilities for customisation.By simply adding in a handful of toasted nuts, something sweet like sultanas, a few spoonfuls of chewy grains like barley or spelt, then a crumbling of cheese; a boring salad can start to look a lot more like dinner.In Salad Feasts, Jessica Elliott Dennison guides you through the art of creating the perfect meal with over 60 foolproof recipes that turn salads into flavour-packed, midweek meals. From a quick, 10-minute Radicchio, Stilton and Pear salad, to the slow cooked Anchovy Roast Peppers with Smoky Tomato Beans, each recipe provides alternative substitute ingredients that are designed to make your salad-making flexible and easy, no matter the season.Including feasting menus to elevate your salads into occasion-worthy spreads, as well as a basic recipe formula to guide you, these are easy-to-assemble, delicious meals that transform ordinary salads into extraordinary feasts.
