Munch Lunch & Dinner

We live in a world full of celebrity chefs, social media and aspirational cooking and it is easy to be overwhelmed by all the conflicting information that bombards us. One minute we are told to cook seasonably and shop locally and next to hunt down unusual ingredients that go past their use by date before we ever want to use them again.

Munch Lunch & Dinner cuts through all this noise. Every single recipe uses ingredients that can be found in your store cupboard or a local supermarket. You won’t need any specialist equipment either, most use just one saucepan. There are clear guides on how to shop and chop meat, fish and vegetables and how to substitute expensive ingredients without sacrificing taste.

At Munch we are passionate about fighting health inequalities, empowering communities, and helping individuals make healthy changes and learn about sustainable nutrition. Our new book was born out of our Munch Community Cooking programme and all the recipes have been tried and tested at our workshops.

This cook book is more than just recipes. There are also tips on which oils to use, how to waste less and easy chopping guides. Throughout the book there is nutritional information and advice about eating sustainably including great ways to introduce more plants into your diet.

It is a great book for new cooks and young cooks to learn new skills, but also a joy for the more experienced cook, to grab ideas for healthy, easy, mid-week meals.
