The emphasis is on making the most of your time, with smart flavour shortcuts and speedy kitchen hacks that take the faff out of everyday cooking.

There’s plenty of flexibility, too. Many of the recipes in this book come with easy meat-reduced or meat-free options, while 70% meet everyday nutritional targets.
