Welcome to Larissa's Home Cooking, a collection of comforting, approachable recipes with a distinctive alcohol twist. Every dish in this book, from starters and soups to mains, desserts, and cocktails, includes a carefully chosen splash of wine, liqueur, or spirit to enhance flavour and add depth. I created these recipes in my own kitchen, inspired by years of cooking, hosting, and experimenting with how alcohol can elevate everyday food without overpowering it. The dishes are simple, practical, and designed to be enjoyed at home, whether you are cooking for yourself, family, or friends. This book is about relaxed, flavourful cooking, where good food and a little indulgence come together. If you enjoy classic home cooking with something extra, this collection is for you.
