Do you wish you could cook more, but don't know where to start? Bee Wilson has spent years collecting cooking "secrets" ways of speeding cooking up or slowing it down, strategies for days when you are stretched for time, and other ideas for when you can luxuriate in kitchen therapy. Bee holds out a hand to anyone who wants doable, delicious recipes, the kind of unfussy food that makes every day taste better: quick feasts from a can of beans; fast, medium, and slow ragus; and seven ways to cook a carrot.

Alongside thoughts on how to cook when you're alone, with children, or just plain tired, Bee offers 140 recipes including:

  • the simplest chicken stew even the pickiest of eaters (aka children) will love
  • Zucchini and Herb Fritters, a Grated Tomato and Butter Pasta Sauce (with or without shrimp), and other ways of making your box grater work for you
  • salads to savor, like a tuna salad with anchovy dressing
  • leisurely projects like an Aromatic All-Purpose Curry Powder and quicker food for friends (try Bulgar and Eggplant Pilaf with pistachio and lemon)
  • the loveliest red curry sauce you can make in your instant pot
  • universal desserts, or those gluten-free and dairy-free sweets that you can serve no matter who comes over, like a Vegan Pear, Lemon, and Ginger Cake

    • With advice on seasoning, cleaning up, and choosing the best equipment, Wilson reimagines modern cooking and brings the spark back into everyday meals. As Bee says, "There's still magic in the kitchen, if you know where to look."
