Love Yumi! Zero F*cks isn’t about not caring about cooking, it’s about recipes that bring a smile to your dial without having to spend too much time sourcing ingredients and/or cooking the food itself. While there are some recipes I questioned (such as fairy bread 😆), there are a heap of others I can wait to try. A great cook book for those just starting out in the kitchen - Yumi swears by her measurements - if all else fails - you should definitely nail the fairy bread!

How adorable...

I read this through cover to cover very quickly. The recipes are good, though some are kind of fiddly, and the author's voice is approachable. She feels like someone I want to have over for dinner. I found this in a street library. Gotta ask myself, "Why?" I'll never part with it.

Easy to follow, but not very appetizing.

Looking forwards to trying a bunch of the recipes from this book!
