Tin Can Magic: Simple, Delicious Recipes Using Pantry Staples

by Jessica Elliott Dennison

Tin Can Magic does exactly what it says on the tin – simple, delicious recipes using tinned ingredients Jessica Elliott Dennison understands the importance of having a capsule-wardrobe style cupboard of cheap, familiar tinned items that can be tweaked every week to create an interesting, seasonal menu. This book helps you do just that – focusing on easy meal solutions based around what readers might already have to hand, with smart ideas for adding flavour, freshness and contrast. Try your hand at Ramen-style miso noodles with crispy garlic and spring onion; Za'atar chicken and whipped butter bean dip, burnt greens and lemon; or Crispy coconut milk pancakes with prawns and garlic vinegar. If you're in the mood for something sweet, why not rustle up the Lemon pudding, Hazelnut frangipane cherry galettes or Miso-salted caramel? Tin Can Magic shows you that, with a little bit of guidance, and a tin or two from the back of the cupboard, you can create mouthwatering meals for any night of the week.

Nice Straightforward Recipes

I love cookbooks like this. No jargon, just clear instructions. Many recipes are just for 2 people, something that is so rare these days.

See my full review here.
This is a cookbook of delicious and healthy meals you can make using tinned foods most of us keep on hand - tomatoes, coconut milk, chickpeas, lima beans, etc. The recipe we tried was simple and tasty - good enough to share with friends as a special dinner. It gets four stars instead of five simply because I wanted a decent index. Is it asking so much?
Thanks to the GFDPL for including this in its nonfiction collection.
