Anna Stanford’s recipes take the mystery out of everyday cooking and make life easier for busy families. Everything works, everything is approachable for any level of cook, and everything tastes wonderful. There is no trend chasing here, only honest and balanced food that feels good to make and even better to eat.

Each recipe comes with smart ideas for swapping ingredients, which means you can cook one meal that suits everyone at the table. A curry can shift from chicken to tofu to fish without missing a beat. Quick quiches come with five flavour ideas. Stir fries welcome whatever vegetables you have waiting in the fridge. With simple substitutions built right into the recipes, feeding a family becomes far more flexible.
