About the Author:

Ainsley Harriott of the BBC’s Ready, Steady, Cook and PBS’s Great Food series is the author of several best-selling books, including Ainsley Harriott’s All New Meals in Minutes, Ainsley Harriott’s Feel-Good Cookbook, and Ainsley Harriott's Fresh and Fabulous Meals in Minutes.

From 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.
