Food writer and anti-poverty campaigner Jack Monroe presents Tin Can Cook, bringing together seventy-five recipes that you can rustle up from tinned and dried ingredients. If you've ever struggled to make a dish because the recipe calls for an exotic ingredient you've never heard of, then this is the book for you. Jack does away with the effort; all her dishes are exciting and new, but you won't have to look further than your local supermarket to make them.
Jack's recipes include Red Lentil and Mandarin Curry, Catalan Fish Stew, Pina Colada Toast and many more delicious and creative ideas. Simple and affordable, Tin Can Cook strips away the blinding glamour and elitism of many cookbooks and takes it back to the basics: making great-tasting food with ordinary ingredients.
