'Alice spreads joy and confidence in the kitchen more than anyone I know' Maggie Beer 'Alice turns vegetables into the path of least resistance. Her recipes are bright and unfussy, brilliantly practical and always delicious - for tired nights when you've been staring at the open fridge for too long.' Yotam Ottolenghi Following the runaway success of In Praise of Veg and Salad for Days , Alice Zaslavsky returns with a curated collection of 80 quick, clever veg-forward dinners, each designed to make dinner feel like a breeze, not a squeeze. With her trademark warmth, Alice shows you how to build satisfying meals from the vegetable crisper up, using a streamlined pantry and zero fuss. These are recipes you'll come back to until you have them on autopilot. Organised by colour of vegetable, this flexi-format kitchen companion is built to be flipped through, scribbled in and cooked from night after night. Inside you'll find: - a pared-back pantry that keeps shopping lists short and flavour high; - clear prep and cook times, plus smart 'double duty' notes for leftovers; - hints, tips and substitutions to make each recipe work for you; - a bonus 'from scratch' section for homemade pastes, sauces, flavour boosters and basics (with full permission to go for store-bought if you want to save even more time); and - a 'when you feel like' index to help streamline dinner-time decision-making. By starting with the veg, your cooking becomes quicker, more nutritious and cost-effective. Brimming with the joyful authority of a cook who knows what real weeknights look like, Weeknights with Alice will transform the way you cook at home.
