Book Review: The One Pot Cook<br />
Who needs a book about one-pot cookery? As former<br />
<strong>Lewes</strong> resident Hattie Ellis says in her introduction to The<br />
One Pot Cook (Head of Zeus, <strong>2015</strong>), ‘Most of us start out<br />
as one-pot cooks’. I know I did. The first thing I learnt<br />
was leek and potato soup; still my simplest, most soulful<br />
dish, and perfect for sharing. It seems it’s for precisely this<br />
reason that I need Hattie’s book: to break me out of the<br />
habit of making the same old stuff day-to-day. The One Pot<br />
Cook is a manual for honest eaters. Hattie’s recipes are solid,<br />
approachable and broad – with The One Pot Cook containing<br />
150, some gathered on faraway travels and others, versions<br />
of European classics. Also refreshing is the decision to<br />
package it as a photography-free, hardback edition illustrated<br />
by Emily Faccini. I’m reminded of those fabulous<br />
no-nonsense cookbooks my mum had in the eighties, by<br />
Jane Grigson and Rose Elliot. CK<br />
