An everyday cookbook that expertly blends ease and style from one of the UK’s leading food writers.

Whether deciding how to dress up a tub of ice cream or determining what fish to choose for a simple weeknight dinner, Diana Henry shows how to make each dish memorable. Her classic recipes focus on enhancing simple food with fresh ingredients and pantry staples, like Pear, Fig, and Prosciutto Salad with Pomegranates and Lamb Chops with Pea and Mint Puree. With an appealing mix of recipes from Provence, Italy, North Africa, Greece, and other regions, Henry celebrates the domestic while recognizing the need for streamlined, foolproof cooking techniques. She embraces the truth that good food is often best cooked simply.
