Flavour: Eat What You Love by Ruby Tandoh

5.0

I love how Ruby writes about food. Always appreciative, enthusiastic and honest, each dish is lavished with attention. Even simple makes, like Bejewelled Chocolate Tiles, shine in this book. The ordering of the recipes by key ingredients is greatly invigorating, and while it feels like flicking through for something to make for dinner may take a little longer, the index helps a lot with that. Everything I’ve made so far has been gorgeous, and I’ve been introduced to Pearl Barley Risottos and Black Sesame biscuits. Even as a vegetarian, a lot of the recipes can easily be translated (like Ghanaian Groundnut Stew made with Quorn pieces) or aspects borrowed from some dishes (like the peach salsa intended to be served with Zesty Lime Chicken). I feel more passionate about cooking with this book, more excited about my ingredients and keen to get in the kitchen.
