The first solo cookbook from TV presenter and chef Chris Bavin.
Popular BBC TV chef presenter Chris Bavin is a resourceful home cook who uses his freezer efficiently, makes the most of leftovers and prides himself on producing healthy food fast for his young family. In this, his first solo cookbook, he shares over 100 simple recipes and his approach to no-fuss home cooking so you too can save time.
Pick up advice on savvy shopping, how to use the freezer well, stock up the store-cupboard, and batch cook favourite family recipes. Be inspired by Chris's ideas for freezing flavours - try herb-and-oil ice cubes or frozen flavoured butters. And follow his nifty solutions to transform today's dinner into tomorrow's lunch, or use up half a forgotten courgette or fruit on the turn, so nothing is wasted.
As an award-winning former grocer, Chris knows his ingredients: his flavour swap suggestions breathe new life into old favourites, and simple but imaginative ideas to "pimp up" meals spin easy weeknight dinners into weekend winners. Inspiring, yet down to earth, easy-to-navigate, and refreshingly practical, Good Food, Sorted is the kitchen companion for time-pressed cooks who want to put wholesome food on the table fast.
