Author Description

"This guide for the home cook is about enjoying good food any day of the week. Thomasina Miers, founder of Wahaca restaurant and Guardian Weekend Cook, has collected her most-loved recipes. These are recipes that she has fed her friends and family at her always busy kitchen table, recipes made up of family classics or food inspired by her travels and her favourite food-writers and chefs. She has made these gorgeous recipes achievable, time-friendly and fuss-free. There are irresistible recipes ranging from marmalade & poppy-seed muffins to a show-stopping seafood paella, a mouth-watering Mexican crab mayo to picadillo, the crispiest ever chicken thighs (which she makes for her children) to her upside-down rhubarb cake. She includes simple recipes for making the perfect poached egg, an immaculate short-crust pastry or a cheat's guide to Sunday roasts. Every recipe includes a follow-up meal idea so that ingredients or sauces can be repurposed and your week and your food shop get that little bit easier." -- Provided by publisher.
