The perfect cookbook doesn't exi-
*Ruby Tandoh has entered the chat*
Just mixing up my memes to let you know that Ruby Tandoh is the present and future of cooking. Well-organised through star ingredients, with a very international palate, seasoned with pop culture (Harry Styles' Dutch Baby, pasta meal inspired by Adele from Blue is the Warmest Colour) and no macros, no shame, no disordered eating language. Enjoyment of food for food's sake. I've made her parboiled potato wedges a couple of times to roaring success, and plan to make a lot more meals in the near future. The only con is that the baking recipes are a bit too complex for my current lazy skills (after all, she became a household icon thanks to GBBO) but I'll eventually get there. Everything else is very easy to make and love.

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.

I haven't made any of the recipes yet, but I adore the way Ruby writes about food. So positive, so inspiring, and free of any food-snobbery. I'm vegetarian but there's still a lot of recipes in this that I can cook so I'm really looking forward to trying them out!
