Everyday Cook

Donal Skehan, an Irish chef and television presenter, offers a practical set of familiar dishes streamlined for home cooks with little time. Many of the recipes are vegetable-heavy and aim to be the sort of meals a household already knows and enjoys, from comforting classics to everyday staples.

The book is organised by cooking style. Readers will find meals ready in 15 minutes, one pot, pan or tray dinners, and meal prep and make-ahead ideas. There are also sections on easy family favourites, freezer-friendly and batch recipes, and everyday desserts. Most dishes come together within half an hour, while some use a short prep stage followed by slow cooking. Meal plans, kitchen tips and time-saving shortcuts are included to help busy cooks plan their week.
