Award winning author of A Bird in the Hand.
Discover how to cook well, eat deliciously and produce plenty, all while
saving money, reducing waste and availing of local resources. Plenty
is not just another tome about saving money - This is a book about
pleasure, about creating great, satisying food without being extravagant
or spending a fortune. By planning ahead, shopping carefully, using
value cuts, cooking seasonally and making the most of left-overs,
beloved food writer Diana Henry shows that less can be more and flavor
still plentiful.
This book is packed with 300 recipes from around the world. A section on
using less expensive cuts of meat will inspire you to create new
favorites such as Roast Pork Shoulder with Baked Squash and Braised Lamb
Shanks. There are also great ideas for using the best value fish, from
Baked Mackerel on Potatoes with Thyme, Onions and Lemon to Fish Pie with
Leek Mash. Leftovers are also at the heart of this book, and Diana
offers an abundance of ideas for transforming roasts and other big
family meals: what's left of a simple Roast Chicken can become a
fabulous Greek Chicken, Pumpkin, Feta Pie.
With Plenty, Diana Henry presents a wealth of accessible adaptable and
affordable yet inspired recipes for the home cook.
