Proper Home Cooking

In his first solo title, Si King shares the food he cooks and eats at home: honest, unfussy dishes built for real life, real budgets and real families. This is Si at his most practical and generous - packed with tips, shortcuts and hard-won wisdom he's gathered over a lifetime at the stove. From weekday workhorses and store-cupboard raids to feeding a full house, these recipes prove that eating well doesn't have to cost a fortune or take all evening. With more than 100 triple-tested recipes, Si shows that a little know-how and a handful of good ingredients go a long way - and that the best food is nearly always the simplest. Alongside the recipes, Si shares the personal stories, memories and kitchen wisdom that have shaped a lifetime of cooking for the people he loves. Told in his warm, no-nonsense voice, this is the book for anyone who wants to get genuinely good food on the table without the stress.
