PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Because a long list of ingredients is enough to repel some home cooks from a recipe, Harriott s appealing new cookbook seeks to address this issue by boiling down some 120 dishes into five simple ingredients. Harriott, presenter of the BBC s Ready Steady Cook and author of Meals in Minutes and Ainsley s Ultimate Barbecue Bible, applies a flavor-conscious economy to his surprisingly complex-tasting fare. Though salt, pepper, and oil don t count toward the total number of ingredients, Harriott still manages to keep the tallies low. A chapter on tapas and small bites covers such sophisticated eats as manchego cheese fritters and brandade with griddled sourdough, while his take on vegetarian cuisine which is notoriously ingredient-heavy includes paprika halloumi with roasted lemon peppers and pitta and creamed corn and parmesan risotto. There s a Brit-centric point of view that may make sourcing some of the ingredients (King Edward s potatoes; cashel blue cheese; golden syrup) a challenge. Still, his dishes, like harissa-rubbed lamb and sweet potatoes, and Jamaican sticky toffee pudding are intriguingly spiced yet wholesome and satisfying enough to be put into the everyday rotation.
