‘It’s taken me a long life to know for sure that life is for living, and that hard
graft has to be worth it.
So, if you are whacked, short of time or just don’t like cooking, cheating is
fine. I cheat all the time, and I LOVE cooking.’
— PRUE LEITHp>
Chef and TV legend Dame Prue Leith brings us the cookbook you’ve always wanted
– 80 delicious recipes, with accompanying kitchen shortcuts and hacks, for a
lifetime of easy cooking.
Every recipe in this book comes with a handy tip, plus you'll find over 25 videos
accessed by a QR code to help you learn a skill or get ahead.
Coined by Shirley Conran in her ‘70s bestseller Superwoman, 'Life’s Too Short to Stuff
a Mushroom' is a phrase that every time-poor cook can relate to. In this clever
cookbook, you'll find really good recipes without the fuss: recipes where a neat
trick can save you time, recipes where the cheat versions taste just as good as the
home-made, and recipes to help you avoid waste and save you money. How do you
cook the perfect steak? What’s the best way to dice an avocado? And what about when
it just all goes terribly wrong?
With recipes including Celeriac Rémoulade with Prosciutto, Rocket and Pine
Nuts, Crispy Pork Belly, Buttermilk Chicken, Sushi for Scaredy-cats, Chocolate
Almond Torte and Cherry Clafoutis, Prue’s handy hacks show you how a little bit of
insight goes a long way.
Perfect for every home cook, the absolute beginner, or someone who has been doing it
so long that cooking has somehow lost its attraction - Life’s Too Short to Stuff a
Mushroom contains years of culinary know-how and inspirational meals, squashed
into an accessible cookbook.
Recipes include:
1. Chicory, Pear, Hazelnut and Goat’s Cheese Salad
