What is good cooking? Sometimes it's "just whatever fills you up," according to this accessible, photo-free collection from Tandoh (Eat Up!: Food, Appetite and Eating What You Want), a 2013 Great British Baking Show finalist. More than 100 recipes will help cooks who are short on time to get food on the table, including lightning-quick asparagus and chili linguine that is ready in less than 30 minutes. The chapter "Feed Me Now" focuses on self-contained dinners for those who don't have the energy or kitchen space to whip up elaborate meals and includes nourishing offerings such as pearl couscous with anchovies, tomatoes, and olives. In "More Food, Less Work," low-effort selections include bok choy with ginger and clementine, and pea green soup. Home cooks with a well-stocked pantry will appreciate dishes that rely on pantry staples, among them baked semolina with mushroom and mozzarella, and whatever-you've-got fried rice. On the sweet end, there are brownies, lemon mochi squares, and a decadent midnight chocolate tart with coconut and sea salt. For those seeking a no-fuss guide to feeding loved ones and themselves, this is a winner.
