Summary:

Making dinner from scratch can feel like a chore – often half the battle is trying to find something that’s quick, nutritious and, most importantly, delicious. But delicious doesn’t have to mean demanding.

After their debut book, the bestseller It’s All About Dinner, Kitchen Sanctuary is back – this time focusing on quick and easy meals, all made in 30 minutes or less!

With chapters such as Champion Chicken; Moreish Meat; Fantastic Fish; Vitally Veggie; Perfect Pasta; Rice, Noodles, Grains and Bread; Snack Suppers; Super Sauces – as well as a section dedicated to Smart Shortcuts containing Nicky’s top tips for speeding up dinner – you’ll be able to whip up a range of fabulous meals for the whole family, every day of the week, no matter how little time you have.

Review:

I’m not a fan of ready meals and really prefer freshly cooked food but I’m also not willing to spend hours cooking so the idea of quick, easy but delicious meals really appeals to me – and this book is full of them! There are loads of recipes included that I am already planning to make – and a few I’ve already tried. My favourite so far has been the Honey Garlic Prawn Rice Bowls (see my effort in the photos) which was simple to prepare and tasted fresh, nutritious and full of fantastic flavours. I’ve also tried the Mushroom Stroganoff and the Teriyaki Salmon Bites, both of which were equally yummy! Everything in Kitchen Sanctuary: Quick & Easy is accessible and simple to follow whilst offering results that take the stress out of trying to decide what to cook for dinner that evening. There are a nice variety of cuisines and core ingredients which means it will suit the vast majority of people. Helpfully, there are also QR codes that link to videos of the steps of the recipe which make the whole process even easier. I would highly recommend picking up this fabulous cookbook!

Thank you so much to Anne Cater of Random Things Blog Tours for inviting me on this tour and organising it. I kindly received a copy of the book from the publisher. My review is entirely my own honest opinion.
