Ruby Tandoh wants us all to cook, and this is her cookbook for all of us—the real home cooks, juggling babies or long commutes, who might have limited resources and limited time.

From last-minute inspiration to delicious meals for one, easy one-pot dinners to no-chop recipes for when life keeps your hands full, Ruby brings us 100 delicious, affordable, and achievable recipes, including salted malted magic ice cream, one-tin smashed potatoes with lemony sardines and pesto, and an easy dinner of plantain, black beans, and eden rice.

This is a new kind of cookbook for our times: an accessible, inclusive, and inspirational addition to any and every kitchen. You don't have to be an aspiring chef for your food to be delectable or for cooking to be a delight. Cook As You Are.
