"The Kitchen Revolution"

I have just placed an order for this book, and I am very much looking forward to trying out their weekly seasonal menu plans - complete with shopping lists.

"It’s the ‘back to basics’ approach, minimising waste through thoughtful shopping and a little preparation. Each week, you’ll have the opportunity to cook:

- Big Meal from Scratch – a delicious, filling meal for the whole family, e.g. Poached chicken with elderflower and new potatoes
- Something for Nothing – two easy meals that use leftovers in a tasty and inspiring way, e.g. New potato, asparagus and egg salad- Seasonal Supper
– a quick, simple supper made from seasonal ingredients, e.g. Spiced grilled lamb chops with radish and orange salad
- Larder Feast – for when the fridge is bare, a whole meal just from storecupboard ingredients, e.g. Beef and mushroom stroganoff
- 2 for 1 – a comforting meal that freezes well so that you can eat half immediately, and store half in the freezer, e.g. Oriental pork and spring onion dumplings"
