I have a soft spot for this book because when I was in Sydney after mum died, one of Samuel Goldsmith’s recipes was published in the paper there and my dad saved it because he thought he might like to “have a go”. That recipe was Harissa Chicken Traybake and we made it together on Zoom after I got home. I posted it on Instagram and tagged Goldsmith. He send me a kind message and we got chatting. When he heard that mum had died and dad was learning how to cook at age 80, he offered to send him a copy of the book. I bought one too so that we can cook recipes together and it’s quickly become one of the most used cookbooks in current rotation. A fave is the Cod and Red Capsicum (Pepper) Traybake - we eat this at least once a month.

Tinned tomatoes are a regular cupboard staple in my home, and at times, thinking of new ways to use them up is a bit of a chore. This is why I checked out this book. So overall, the book looks great, but I've made 3 of the recipes in the book, and they are bland af. I've had to do serious work trying to add flavour and make them palatable, which is very disappointing. Do not recommend, unless you like bland food.

Okay so I don’t like tomatoes but that’s not the point in giving it 2 stars. I made two of the recipes and both are pretty muh. Not terribly interesting and not very nice tasting. Even my husband who likes tomatoes didn’t find the recipes very good of course if you love tomatoes you may love this book!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The fish stew was delicious, hearty flavors and really special. the Moroccan spiced pice was also a really special dish. Accessible for me as a rubbish cook too.
