Hob

We all lead busy lives, and with so many demands on our time, there’s often limited time for cooking. So, let Amy Sheppard walk you through the best way to meal plan, enabling you to make the most of your weekly shop, before introducing you to 80 great-tasting, simple and achievable recipes, using ingredients found in every supermarket and making the most of what you probably already have in your kitchen cupboards.

You don’t need any special kit, or a large kitchen. Instead the majority of recipes can be cooked in just one pan, and all of them only use the hob or stove top, creating speedy meals in minutes. Amy’s not afraid to find quick fixes, so expect to find frozen veg or packs of cooked rice to help you get dinner on the table that bit quicker.

From brunch recipes such as perfect poached eggs and devilled crumpets or cowboy beans to speedy dinners including salmon teriyaki noodles or veg and feta couscous, Amy also offers weekend treats such as pea and asparagus risotto and popcorn chicken nachos, perfect for entertaining or fulfilling your comfort food cravings. Then there’s the sweet chapter which isn’t to be missed – who knew you could make the squidgiest chocolate brownies or apple and cinnamon rolls on the hob?!

So, whether you’re short of time, short of money, entertaining friends or looking for something comforting for the weekend, you’ll find the perfect recipe in this essential new cookbook.
