Spinning Plates

Anna Stanford (@annasfamilykitchen) is a passionate home cook and mum of three who has cracked dinner time with her latest book: choose one base recipe and use Anna's clever swaps and tricks to cater for the whole family with one tasty, balanced meal.

Forget about cooking multiple meals each night—these recipes are fully adaptable to different tastes and dietary requirements. They are also light on equipment, often cooked in one pan or tray, saving on expensive kitchen items and washing up.

An easy-to-use icon system makes it clear which recipes can be batch cooked, frozen or made ahead, and there are alternative cooking methods for the air fryer and slow cooker where possible.

With chapters covering weekday wonders, lunchtime saviours, fakeaways, and weekend gatherings, these recipes will make family mealtimes easy and enjoyable.
