Tin Can Cook

Simple and affordable cooking, Tin Can Cook takes it back to the basics: making great-tasting food with ordinary and budget-friendly ingredients.

Winner of the OFM Best Food Personality Readers' Award and a Sunday Times bestseller.

Food writer and anti-poverty campaigner Jack Monroe brings together seventy-five recipes that you can rustle up from tinned and dried ingredients.

Beautifully designed with accompanying quirky hand-drawn illustrations, this book is for you if you’ve struggled to make a dish because the recipe calls for an exotic ingredient you’ve never heard of. Jack does away with the effort; all her dishes are exciting and new, but you won’t have to look further than your local supermarket to make them.

Jack's recipes include Red Lentil and Mandarin Curry, Catalan Fish Stew, Pina Colada Toast and many more delicious and creative ideas.

'An exuberant rebuttal to the idea that good food must be expensive, farm-fresh and unprocessed' – Ruby Tandoh, The Great British Bake Off runner-up and author of Eat Up

'At a time when good food can often be seen as rather elitist or exclusive, Jack has done an excellent job to create recipes which are simple, straightforward and delicious' – Felicity Spector, food writer and journalist
