The key to this recipe is to measure your water carefully and to use the right pan: you need a shallow sauté pan or a casserole large enough to fit the pasta lying down, but not too deep. I read the book and I tried a recipe. Oh my. We are talking flavor, folks, and it isn't the kind of amazing flavor that fades once you start considering the harm you are doing to your body from the actual sugar, salt, and fat that often comes with those huge flavor sensations. No, this is intense flavor and it's the Good Jedi kind. On to the two tomato sauces – one thrown together in 10 minutes, the other made with toasted tomatoes for a sweet, almost creamy bed for toppings. An essential addition to every cook’s bookshelf, The Modern Cook’s Year will show you how to make the most of seasonal produce, using simple, hugely inventive flavours and ingredients.
Blitz the cauliflower in a food processor until it has a fine, rice-like texture. Put it into a mixing bowl, add the ground almonds, oats, oregano, salt and pepper, and mix with your hands. Make a well in the centre and add the eggs. Mix it all together, then use your hands to form the lot into a ball. It will be a little wetter and less firm than a traditional pizza dough. Jones’s appeal lies in the very tangible depths of flavour and wealth of texture at work in her dishes. So much so that their vegetarian nature passes you by, its simple, wonderful workable food that will undoubtedly make people happy…Anna Jones, you queen of greens, you’ve only gone and done it again.’ On top of the tons of recipes, there are charts in the book that help provide countless options for making omelets, grain bowls, one pot meals, baked potato meals, one pot meals, salads, stir fry meals, breakfast smoothies, overnight oats and fruit desserts.
WHERE TO BUY A MODERN WAY TO COOK IN THE NETHERLANDS
The authors’ recipes have easy to follow instructions. Most recipes have several ingredients listed that can be found in most grocery stores. Above most recipes the author talks about the dish you are about to make. I found this interesting. I also liked that the author included a chard that tells the reader of other ingredients that can be substituted. It allows the reader to be creative in making the recipe. Many more of us are interested in eating healthier food on a regular basis but sometimes, when we’re home late, tired after work, and don’t have time to buy lots of ingredients, it can just seem too complicated. Fill and boil a kettle and get all your ingredients and equipment together. You need a large shallow pan with a lid. A Modern Way to Eat is a gorgeous revelation of a book. Vegetarian food that feels exciting and vibrant, by an author who writes and cooks with authenticity and passion. I will be buying it for everyone.’
She continues …”It’s important to make a commitment to eating well, but it’s also important to be realistic…To me, eating well is far simpler than it is often made out to be. Buy good ingredients, cook at home, and make the majority of what you eat plants and vegetables, and listen and react to your body. I don’t think it’s much more complicated than that.” Amen to that! I am happy to report that Ms. Jones doesn't put pepper in everything, but I still say there's too much of it. I like her chatty attitude--it's encouraging. It almost had me believing that I could actually be turning pasta every 30 seconds or so as it cooks, and at the same time be removing any tough stems from the kale and coarsely tearing the leaves. I only allow myself to formally review cookbooks that are more biography or travelogue with a few recipes thrown in. But I just wanted to point out a couple of things I noticed, other than the impossibly short cooking times:A group of fashionable young women in Britain are making a career of promoting healthy eating, including Jasmine and Melissa Hemsley, Amelia Freer, Anna Jones and Natasha Corrett. The Guardian has called them ‘the queens of greens’; The Telegraph named them ‘the superfoodies.’ One could also think of them as the Daughters of Nigella, the logical successors to Nigella Lawson.” Anna Jones taps the sweet spot between healthfulness and downright decadence with inventive vegetarian dishes such as beet-and-radicchio gratin. Her fuss-free style helps busy cooks get dinner on the table in as little as 10 minutes, 40 max.” If that were not enough, there are also how-to sections on making nut or seed milks, cooking and freezing beans, making paneer, and more. Set the oven to 200C/400F/gas mark 6. Put the tomatoes on a large baking tray, and season. Scatter over the garlic cloves, thyme sprigs and bay leaves, then transfer to the oven and roast for 25 minutes, or until the tomato skins are lightly charred and split.
