Take One Can : 80 delicious meals from the cupboard (Hardcover)

Our kitchen cupboards are full of cans - tomatoes, chickpeas, tuna, kidney beans, sardines, sweetcorn, even figs - that often are used as an addition to a recipe but never the main ingredient. Take One Can is a celebration of canned ingredients, offering 80 recipes that take one can and make it the focus of the meal.
Arranged to showcase the range of canned ingredients available, the chapters begin with the staple that is Beans and Pulses, followed by Tomatoes and Vegetables, which play a central role in countless dishes, then Fish, and finally Fruit and Sweet Cans. The last chapter offers a few tasty accompaniments to eat alongside your meal.

Lola's creative but simple recipes, such as jackfruit & red kidney bean chilli, sweetcorn fritters, pumpkin and chocolate loaf and pineapple, coconut & lime upside down cake make the absolute most of ingredients you will already have, topped up with one or two fresh ingredients. Substitutions are also suggested should you not have every ingredient on hand.
Save money, be creative and waste less food by looking in your cupboard instead of visiting the supermarket.

About the Author
Lola's eyes were opened to the world of cookbooks, food photography and styling when she did work experience with Jamie Oliver and his food team. After school, she went to Glasgow School of Art and studied Fine Art Photography, though food continued to weave through her work there. After graduating she decided to return to the world of food styling and started working in the kitchens of cafes and bakeries while doing work experience with food stylists. She then progressed to assisting full time and then to being a stylist herself, expanding along the way into recipe testing
and then writing.
