Cook fast food fast. Spend time on showstoppers.
Sometimes you just need to eat quick, and you reach for your classic speedy dishes. Check out our Quick Eats chapter for yummy plates that you’ll be able to get on the table in 30 minutes or less. Other times you’re cooking for an occasion and looking to impress. Check out our Big Eats chapter for classics that will be worth the extra time, taking up to an hour to prep, or our Showpieces chapter for masterpieces that take that little bit longer (but the results are well worth it).
Get it right. First time. These are high-quality recipes.
Every recipe in this book has been rigorously and repeatedly tested again and again by us and our wonderful food team. We give you our word that these recipes work to a level that many in other cookbooks do not. These are high-quality recipes. Get the right kit, follow the instructions and you can easily cook these meals to perfection.
To make it easier for you to work quickly, we’ve also included the preparation instructions (like peeling and chopping) in the method. This ensures that you make the best use of your time, cooking as quickly as possible. We’ve also included a ‘before you start’ section above each recipe method, to highlight any special equipment you need or anything you should do before you start cooking. All oven temperatures are for fan ovens, so adjust the temperature if you have a conventional oven.
Create restaurant-quality meals at home.
Check out our Fantastic Feasts section to create menus as good as (or better than) anything you’ll get from a restaurant or takeaway, with dishes that complement each other.
Whether you’re in the mood for an Asian blowout, an Indian banquet, a Tex-Mex spread or a big Sunday lunch, you’ll find everything you need in this book.
Watch videos to see how we do it.
Looking for a helping hand when cooking a recipe? We’ve created a simple, top-down recipe video for the trickier dishes so you can see exactly how to cook them, step by step. Check out our website www.bosh.tv.
Here are a few tips from us to help you really master your kitchen and your cooking skills.
Be a continuously improving cook, whatever your level.
Whether you’re just starting out cooking only with plants or you’re already accomplished with vegan food, there’s always something new to learn. Here’s how to be at the top of your game.
Treat each recipe you cook as an opportunity to learn something new. Don’t fall into the trap of cooking the same things on repeat; find new recipes, get the right ingredients and try them out.
Up your skills from time to time with videos and books. Improve your knife skills with videos on YouTube. Use any of the amazing online tools, or a collection of cookbooks, to store up recipes to try in future. You can use post-its to mark the pages with recipes you want to try!
There’s always something new to master, whether it’s basics like getting vegan béchamel nailed or advanced baking with aquafaba. This new, plant-based way of thinking about food has so much freedom for innovation, so you’ll be constantly improving.
Keep fruit and veggies on hand (or on ice) at all times!.
A fridge full of fruit and veggies is not only good for your pocket, but they’ll also keep really well. Onions, garlic and potatoes are best kept out of the fridge in a cool, dry place.
Got lots of fruit left over? Stick it in the freezer and use it to make morning smoothies. Peel and chop the fruit into bite-sized chunks and put it into a Tupperware container for easy use later. We have a constant store of frozen bananas, apples, berries, spinach, kale and watermelon ready to combine for a deliciously nutritious smoothie at any time of the day.
Bought too many veggies? That’s OK: freeze them and use them later. Made too much pasta sauce? Pop it in a Tupperware or a freezer bag and keep it ready for a quick meal.
Keep your kitchen and pantry well organised to make life easier.
Organise your pantry well and you’ll always have meals ready to cook – check out for key ingredients to keep in stock. We go full nerd with sticky labels to highlight the right places for things. It makes cooking so much more satisfying and efficient because we’re not constantly searching for ingredients in the cupboard.
We tend to organise our pantry shelves into sections like ‘sauces & syrups’, ‘oils & vinegars’, ‘herbs & spices’, ‘flour, sugar & baking’, ‘grains, rice, pasta’, plus the essential ‘tea & coffee’ shelf. Figure out a system that works for you. Trust us, knowing where things are makes fast cooking much easier.
Finally, organise your spices in a way that’s easy to browse. We prefer smaller tubs of spices since they tend to be a consistent size and they usually have labels on the top. Plus, big bags of spice are harder to store and spices tend to go off if they’re left on the shelf for too long. You’ll soon discover which herbs and spices you get through quickly and which are worth buying in bulk – try decanting them into jars and adding your own labels on the lid.
EQUIPMENT.
The equipment you find in your typical kitchen is going to work just fine for the recipes in this book. There is nothing super fancy or technical about what we do in our kitchen; we like to keep things simple. But, if we were going to design a cost-effective kitchen from scratch, here’s how we would do it:
