The Kitchen Cupboard Chef

The Kitchen Cupboard Chef by Theo Michaels offers 65 ingenious short-cut recipes that demonstrate how canned, jarred, and bottled ingredients are not only convenient and budget-friendly but also delicious!

Chef Theo Michaels presents a collection of simple and delicious recipes for meals made using canned food, along with just a few basic fresh and/or frozen ingredients. Most of the recipes can be pulled together in less than 30 minutes, with short ingredients lists that also allow for last-minute substitutions. Stock your kitchen cupboards with a good selection of cans, bottles, jars, and pouches, and you’ll never be short of dinner options, even when getting out to the shops isn't possible!

Rustle up tasty dishes for all the household, from soups and simple pasta dishes to satisfying oven bakes and one-pot casseroles, plus tempting desserts. Theo's recipes make clever use of pre-cooked vegetables, fruit, pulses, fish, seafood, and even meat and poultry! Try a cannellini bean and artichoke gratin, smoked seafood tagliatelle, chicken and mushroom lasagne bake, or a balsamic cherry tarte tatin, and more.
