Review 📖
Nadiya Hussain begins with Chapter 1s: “Don’t Throw Anything Away.” As long as it is not poisonous, we can probably do something with it. Right? Chapter 2, “Canned, Frozen, and Dry Are Not Bad Words,” shouldn’t sound bad in any cook’s vocabulary because they save us time and money.
Chapter 3 is called “The Freezer Is My Friend” and advises us always to keep one drawer empty. Having just that little space means we have room to think on our feet. Chapter 4 speaks of “Every Dish Is Two Dishes.” One meal can be turned into two without having to cook it twice. How often have we made a huge soup pot, then added pasta or rice to it in the morning? Yes, one meal can become two!
Chapter 5 is called “Everything Is An Ingredient,” You can make something out of anything. Chapter 6 speaks of microwaving because it is quick and very handy.
Nadiya Hussain packed this cookbook with practical and useful tips on freezing, storing, prepping, using leftovers, and more.
