Eat The Food You Buy by Martyn Odell

The last cookbook you will ever need!

'A brilliantly useful book to help you breathe new, delicious life into every corner of your fridge' Ben Lippett

You open the fridge after a long day and are faced with a few limp carrots and a sad looking onion, but before you reach for that takeaway menu, STOP! Eat the Food You Buy will show you how to turn the most wasted household ingredients into banging meals.

With ten chapters on veg, five on meat and fish, plus a whole treasure trove of recipes using cupboard essentials, this book is sure to inspire you no matter how bare your fridge looks.

• Those sad, bendy carrots are about to have a glow-up in a Som-Tum-Style Salad
• Wrinkly potatoes (we all have them!) can be boiled, kept in the fridge and ready to turn into The Ultimate Rosti whenever you’re out of ideas
• Last Sunday’s roast beef? Hellooo Philly Cheese Steak
• And you can whip up Martyn’s ridiculously tasty Harissa Beans with just a few jars and tins

Not only will this cookbook make your shopping go further, it will slash your reliance on processed foods and pricey takeaways, help reduce food waste and prove that cooking with simple ingredients can be absolutely delicious.

His passion for food, and educating people on waste-free cooking is plain to see in his online videos which have gained him millions of followers around the world.
