Life’s Too Short To Stuff A Mushroom

It’s taken me a long life to know for sure that life is for living, and that hard graft has to be worth it.
So, if you are whacked, short of time or just don’t like cooking, cheating is fine. I cheat all the time, and I LOVE cooking.

My latest cookbook is packed with 80 delicious recipes, along with kitchen shortcuts and hacks, for a lifetime of easy cooking.

Every recipe in this book comes with a handy tip, plus you’ll find over 25 videos accessed by a QR code to help you learn a skill or get ahead.

I coined the phrase ‘Life’s Too Short to Stuff a Mushroom’ from Shirley Conran and her ‘70s bestseller ‘Superwoman’.  The phrase is something that every time-poor cook can relate to. In this cookbook, you’ll find really good recipes without the fuss: recipes where a neat trick can save you time, recipes where the cheat versions taste just as good as the home-made, and recipes to help you avoid waste and save you money. How do you cook the perfect steak? What’s the best way to dice an avocado? And what about when it just all goes terribly wrong?

With recipes including Celeriac Rémoulade with Prosciutto, Rocket and Pine Nuts, Crispy Pork Belly, Buttermilk Chicken, Sushi for Scaredy-cats, Chocolate Almond Torte and Cherry Clafoutis, my  handy hacks show you how a little bit of insight goes a long way.

Whether you are a home cook, an absolute beginner, or someone who has been doing it so long that cooking has somehow lost its attraction – Life’s Too Short to Stuff a Mushroom contains years of culinary know-how and inspirational meals, squashed into an accessible cookbook.

Recipes include:

• Chicory, Pear, Hazelnut and Goat’s Cheese Salad
