Cook As You Are is not simply a recipe book, but a warm invitation to relax into and enjoy the experience of cooking and eating. Ruby Tandoh offers understanding, encouragement and completely glorious food. -NIGELLA LAWSON, author of Cook, Eat, Repeat In this soulful collection of recipes, Ruby Tandoh nourishes us physically, mentally and intellectually. Cook As You Are brims with easy, approachable everyday fare, but also exists as a blueprint for what all cookbooks should strive to be-a space that is inclusive, thoughtful and accessible to all. With a no-nonsense, egalitarian approach to ingredients, and enticingly cookable recipes that offer a plethora of variations and substitutions, Tandoh liberates the home cook, empowering them to be exactly the type of cook they want to be. -HETTY LUI McKINNON, food writer and award-winning author of four cookbooks, including To Asia, with Love A celebration of people as much as delicious food. Ruby Tandoh writes with a cooks-first mind-set, curating a mouthwatering collection of recipes that are as inclusive as they are attainable. Through relatable and warm prose, Ruby proves to be asmuch a studied pupil of world cookery as she is a generous teacher. Thanks to clearly written recipe instructions with numerous sensory cues, you will feel confident to go in your kitchen and try these recipes tonight! -VALLERY LOMAS, author of Life Is What You Bake It, winner of The Great American Baking Show Ruby Tandoh once again shows us what eating can be instead of what it is-something usually defined by the white gaze using white hands to signpost for us what is trendy, culturally relevant and acceptable. As a gifted guide through the journey of her own adventures as a cook, Tandoh makes her identity and experiencea central focus point for what she is sharing here-a gorgeous selection of recipes that have risen from her lived experience of being of and in the world as a human consuming her culture and experience-something we all do every day but less deftly explain. -ZOE ADJONYOH, author of Zoe's Ghana Kitchen Great recipes, of course, but also a wealth of modern kitchen wisdom. Practical, straight-talking, endlessly inspirational. -NIGEL SLATER, author of The Kitchen Diaries
