The following nine recipes, selected as personal favourites by Samin herself, will give you a taste of what you can find inside.
Creamy Lemon-Miso Dressing
Tangy, sweet and umami, this versatile dressing thickened with aquafaba works for all manner of salads – and can even be drizzled over a tray of roasted vegetables.
Green Sauce
Inspired by the famous version created by The Cheese Board Collective in Berkeley, California, this versatile creamy green chilli and herb sauce uses a dash of dijon mustard as an emulsifier for added depth of flavour.
Spicy Tuna Pantry Pasta
Inspired by a spicy tuna pizza Samin had in Florence, this fiery pasta dish is perfect for evenings when you want to make something simple using pantry staples.
Peperonata
A great way to use up a batch of bell peppers, this Tuscan recipe sees them cooked down with just a handful of ingredients until they reach a silky, almost jammy texture.
Stovetop Potato Gratin
This one-pot potato dish, finished in the oven with butter and parmesan, is a rich, creamy and indulgent addition to any hearty feast.
Joojeh Kabob Roast Chicken
Marinated overnight in saffron and buttermilk, this whole spatchcock chicken, inspired by Samin’s childhood memories of Persian chelo kebab dinners with her family, is an incredible infusion of flavours.
Creamy Spinach Lasagne
Samin’s recipes for Fresh Pasta Sheets, Simple Tomato Sauce, and Béchamel come together in this classic combination of spinach and ricotta.
Oat and Honey Bread Rolls
Featuring a perfectly baked crusty exterior and a soft, tender crumb inside, these subtly sweet and nutty rolls pair perfectly with a healthy slather of salted butter.
Vanilla Bean Flan
This silky, vanilla-flecked flan uses sweetened condensed milk as its base to add a rich, custard-like texture.
