A favourite recipe book around the home is Faking It by Valli Little, from ABC's delicious. collection. Based on the premise of providing clever shortcuts for the time-poor or multitasking cook, without compromising on the quality of the food or the integrity of the chef, this book is six years old and is an old faithful in the kitchen, providing recipes for dishes that are simple but bound to impress, and suitable for anything from a weeknight dinner to a formal dinner party.
Whilst Faking It may contain some ingredients and methods that the home cook may shy away from - such as chermoula paste or scrambling eggs using an espresso machine - this recipe book contains a variety of recipes to satisfy both a simple and a more advanced cook.
It also contains many twists on traditional recipes, such as adding truffle oil to macaroni cheese, or topping cottage pies with gnocchi instead of mashed potato.
Overall, Faking It by Valli Little is a handy cookbook to have around for cooks of all skill levels, and is a valuable addition to your kitchen.
