‘Rustle Up is such a clever and different approach to cookery writing. It’s like having a mate in the kitchen guiding you through, in the least fussy way possible. Brilliant’ Georgina Hayden

Using simple ingredients, store-cupboard staples and basic equipment, these dishes promise good food, whether you're cooking solo in a tiny kitchen, making meals with mates or impressing at a family gathering. Packed with tips and recipe variations, there is inspiration galore and all the answers to rustling up a storm for any occasion.
