Dinner at Mine? - by Kate Young (Hardcover)

About the Book

A collection of 90 enticing recipes offering new inspiration for everyday ingredients, from award-winning food writer Kate Young.

Book Synopsis

There are peas in the freezer, apples in the bowl, a cabbage in the vegetable drawer, tins of cannellini beans and anchovies in the cupboard, and eggs on the side.

You've got the beginnings of dinner, no question.

You just need a little inspiration.

Dinner at Mine? is award-winning food writer Kate Young's invitation to the table. Inside, you'll find creative ways to transform fifteen familiar ingredients: a couple of courgettes, a block of butter, a whole chicken, a loaf of sourdough, a punnet of tomatoes, and more. Kate shows how to take these everyday ingredients and turn them into dishes you'll love, such as congee, almond chicken, and the perfect apple pie.

There are six exciting ideas for each ingredient, whatever your plans for the evening: something for one, for two, mid-week meals for four, feasts for six, something to take with you and dishes for enjoying another day.

Whoever's at your table, Dinner at Mine? is all about sharing delicious, versatile and memorable dishes with the people you love.
