THE FLEXIBLE FAMILY COOKBOOK

A cookbook to suit the whole family’s differing wants and needs, The Flexible Family Cookbook is full of simple and delicious recipes to keep the whole family happy.


Jo Pratt provides flexible adaptations for each recipe to account for allergies, intolerances and lifestyle choices. Traybakes and one-pot roasts make for easy and convenient time-savers, whilst scrumptious puds and simple bakes help get smaller hands involved in the cooking. Covering everything from gluten-free, nut-free, dairy-free cooking and veganism, to suggestions for flavour and spice adjustments for younger or fussier palettes, this book will be a lifesaver in the kitchen and
a crowd-pleaser at the table.

“Easy but exciting recipes that will put a smile on everyone’s face” – Fay Ripley

THE FLEXIBLE VEGETARIAN

The Flexible Vegetarian is packed with well-balanced and tasty recipes that offer two solutions: they can be served as completely vegetarian or vegan dishes or made with a simple meat, chicken or fish twist.

 

Ideal if you’re cutting down on meat, you’re catering for a tricky family or diner party, or you want the ingredients in your meals to be more sustainable, kinder to the planet and perhaps even cheaper and healthier.

Whether you’re an occasional meat-eater, a vegetarian who needs to cook for meat-eaters, or even a dedicated veggie, you’ll find something for you in this book filled with delicious and practical flexitarian recipes for every lifestyle from celebrated chef Jo Pratt. Choose between cooking each recipe as a completely vegetarian dish, or select to add one of the simple meat, chicken or fish additions, making them suitable for meat-free days and meat-eaters alike.

From spiced poke to pea shoot and asparagus gnudi, the range of international recipes spans the globe and are all quick, simple, well-balanced and packed with protein. As well as easy meat and fish additions and hacks for each vegetarian recipe, this original cookbook shows you how to ace a handful of classic recipes, from the perfect roast chicken to the perfectly cooked fish fillet. For both health, eco and sustainability reasons, there has never been a better time to join the growing flexitarianism movement and expand your culinary skills.
