Poppy Cooks: The Food You Need (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780525612049)

"[Poppy's] recipes are unshowy, unfussy (for all her Michelin training) and simply make you want to go skipping into the kitchen to cook."--Nigella Lawson, Nigella.com

With Chef and TikTok sensation Poppy O'Toole you'll learn the basics, up your cooking game, with delicious results every time.

This is a cookbook with no judgement. Together, we'll learn how to make incredible food at home. We'll start with the basics: 12 core recipes (or go-to skills) that everyone needs to know, like how to make a pasta sauce, roast a chicken or make a killer salad dressing. Then we'll use these core skills as a base for delicious and adaptable recipes that will up your cooking game--the Staple, the Brunch, the Potato Hero (of course they make an appearance) and the Fancy AF.

So, once you've nailed that classic tomato sauce (which I promise will become the new go-to in your kitchen), you can stir it through pasta, or bake it with eggs for the perfect Shakshuka and, before you know it, you'll be getting real fancy and making a show-stopping Chicken Parmigiana to impress your friends. I'll walk you through 75 delicious recipes, including:

White Sauce: think Mac and Cheese and Bacon-y Garlicky Gratin.

Dough: easy flatbreads for Halloumi Avo Breads and Salmon Tikka wraps.

Emulsions: Chicken Caesar Salad with homemade mayo and next level Steak B饌rnaise with Hollandaise and Crunchy Roast Chips.

Meringue: from Eton Mess Pancakes through to Simply the Zest Lemon Meringue Pie

As a Michelin-trained chef with over ten years' experience in professional kitchens, I've done the years of training so you don't have to.
