About the Book…

In his first solo title, Si King shares the food he cooks and eats at home: honest, unfussy dishes built for real life, real budgets and real families. This is Si at his most practical and generous – packed with tips, shortcuts and hard-won wisdom he’s gathered over a lifetime at the stove.

From weekday workhorses and store-cupboard raids to feeding a full house, these recipes prove that eating well doesn’t have to cost a fortune or take all evening. With more than 100 triple-tested recipes, Si shows that a little know-how and a handful of good ingredients go a long way – and that the best food is nearly always the simplest.

Alongside the recipes, Si shares the personal stories, memories and kitchen wisdom that have shaped a lifetime of cooking for the people he loves. Told in his warm, no-nonsense voice, this is the book for anyone who wants to get genuinely good food on the table without the stress.

About the Author…

‎ Si King hails from North East England and is a big, blond bearded biker with an infectious laugh. His love of food was established at a young age when his father bought exotic ingredients back from his Royal Navy voyages.
