When Lindsay Bareham had her new kitchen installed, her normal cooking environment was turned upside down. Restricted to two rings, she had to approach cooking in a whole new way. The result is over 100 creative and exciting recipes that can be cooked in just one pot - what's more, they all require minimal preparation and are made with seasonal ingredients that are easy to find in your local supermarket. There are no fiddly restauarant-style techniques (although the recipes include plenty of tricks and shortcuts if you want to upgrade your meals). Whether you want to make a quick and easy after-work dinner or a relaxed meal for friends, this book is perfect for you. Tempting mains include Chorizo and white bean stew, Thai green duck curry with coriander noodles and Monkfish chowder with green beans and thyme, and enticing desserts include White chocolate and raspberry trifle, Chocolate and almond rice pudding and Apple cream with banana passion fruit sauce.
