Home cooking but make it gorgeous. Make it the thing that improves your day. Make it beautiful, useful and delicious. Make your life just, like, 10% better.

No-knife potato curry, cumin lamb ragù, turmeric satay salmon, marinated bavette, and kimchi remoulade; breakfast bars, rhubarb and custard, sticky lemon cake, and one-bowl cannelés. This is cooking for real life – the kinds of recipes you will actually make and actually love.

There are plenty of ideas to get you through the week with minimal faff and maximum reward, whether you’re at your lowest ebb or striving for elegance:

The big list: how to stock the fridge, freezer, spice drawer and more On the sofa: sticky-crispy Korean tofu, pistachio chilli, pumpkin and raisin roasted rice At the kitchen counter: brown butter cornbread, herby mango salad, green chickpea quesadillas For a gathering: sheet-pan leek latkes, pig cheek and queen bean burritos, smoky rosemary palomas With a tablecloth: asparagus fritters, miso mushroom ragù, smoky tea chocolate pots For the week ahead: bread and butter, cure-all one-pan beans, pink onions, caramelised garlic On the floor: carbonara rice, fish finger and smoked sweetcorn tacos, sausage and rocket gnocchi

Roasting a chicken. Planning for the week ahead. Throwing a party (for three or thirty or more). Baking fail-safe cookies (for when failure to have cookies really isn’t an option). The Kitchen Book is your source of wisdom for the 4pm what’s-for-dinner panic, and the definitive answer to ‘Maybe just toast and an early night?’

These are recipes that will stick with you for life.
