Synopsis

Quick and easy, home-cooked family recipes, ready in 30 minutes or less, from the hugely popular blog and YouTube channel Kitchen Sanctuary.

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, Sunday Times 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.





My Review

This is a straightforward recipe book that will appeal to those of you who either have busy, hectic schedules with little time for cooking or those of you who actually don't really want to spend a massive amount of time in the kitchen but would still like to eat something nutritious and homemade .
If you fall into either of those two categories then this book will appeal to you. the book is divided up into different sections covering, meat,chicken, fish, pasta, veggies, snacks and a small section on sauces. I personally found the book heavily based around meat and carbs and would have liked to have seen more fresher and lighter vegetable dishes . However, this is just my personal preference and I can definitely see this appealing to families with the one pot meals which could also be batch cooked and frozen if you just cater for yourself.

I have tried out a few of them ; the carbonara was a hit and is a straightforward standard recipe that fits easily into the allocated 30 minutes and was enjoyed by all the family.



Carbonara

The sausage orzo was also a straight forward dish to make , though I would miss out the rocket next time as my "guinea pigs" said it made it too bitter. 
However, one "huge" hit was the Crispy Orange Beef which I served with noodles and will definitely be on the menu again.

The Delegate by Ali Carter   What a tangled web she weaved…   The Delegate by Ali Carter was  published on 29th November 2022 by Matador. My thanks to the author and publisher who sent me a copy and Random Book Tours for inviting me to take part on the tour.      Synopsis Charlotte… Having been sprung by Mafia family the Zandini’s on a day release the previous year, and managing to ‘despatch’ one of their enemies in New York (plus a few extras), ex killer G.P> Charlotte Peterson was now securely back inside Rampton high Security Hospital. However, her work was unfinished and a second escape quite out of the question. It was why she had the need of a delegate. A killer to complete a very important job…someone she’d control. Annie… She had found the perfect person in Annie. A woman who felt cheated. A woman who was mentally and emotionally scarred in exactly the same way Charlotte had been throughout her own life. Annie was fully ripe for manipulation in t...

Tristan /Yseulte by Harry Bonelle

 Tristan /Yseulte  by Harry Bonelle Tristan/ Yseult by Harry Bonelle  was published on 31st january 2024 by Unicorn. My thanks to the author and publisher for sending me a copy to review and to Random Things Tours  for inviting me to take part on the tour. Synopsis Tristan/Yseult is a narrative poem about the yearning for oneness in a world split into fragments. A duel on an empty island sets the course for one of the greatest romances ever told. As the lovers of legend meet, something new is born, and something eternal is revealed. Their names will forever be spoken as one. This modern retelling of Tristan and Yseult sheds a stark light on the beauty of the Celtic tale. “Harry Bonelle’s new version taps into the dark and furious energy of the old saga, surging and juddering with life. Bonelle’s actor’s training has encouraged him to liberate the performance piece that its original author must have intended. Thrilling on the page, but even more so spoken loud....

  Danger With Lashings Of Caviar  by Liz Hinds Danger With Lashings Of Caviar was published on 20th March 2024. My thanks to the author for sending me a copy to review and to Random Things Tours for inviting me to take part on the tour. Synopsis When Tabby wakes up in a rubbish skip - again - she decides the time has come for action. The bad guys might have got away with it so far but it's time to turn the tables. With the help of her mum, a disgraced policeman, a farting dog, and two homeless friends Tabby is determined to bring the handsome criminal millionaire to justice. And she was only supposed to be making a few sandwiches. My Review This is the first book in the Tabitha's Table mystery series and if this first book is anything to go by it should prove to be a tongue in cheek cosy mystery set of books that will have you laughing out loud. At times you will be asking yourself "Really" whilst at other times you will be taking in the light hearted way that ...
