The Everyday Kitchen

Relax. Take a deep breath. It’s just food. But it’s delicious, fantastic and achievable food. Food that makes you and your family smile; food that impresses your guests; food that makes you feel like a champion; and food that winds back the stress levels.

These are the reasons that Fast Ed has written this new book – his first in 5 years. It’s jam-packed with a new collection of Ed’s favourite easy recipes, brimming with flavour, but low on the difficulty scale, and designed with one purpose in mind – to help you and your gang eat better and love life more. After all, isn’t that sense of joy the whole reason for getting people together around a table?

With 52 complete meals, in three main chapters – Hearty, Healthy and Easy – you’ll have a new recipe to try each week of the year.
