Synopsis

Florence Knight is a chef living and working in the heart of London's Soho. 'Less is more' typifies Florence's style. She cooks with delicacy and simplicity but with a meticulous attention to detail that manifests itself in dishes of rare and delightful flavours. Here, Florence turns her attention to the kitchen cupboard to create imaginative, honest food from her favourite ingredients: olive oil, flour, mustard, vinegar, salt, ketchup, nuts, eggs, honey and chocolate. Each recipe in will inspire you to think again about the everyday essentials in your pantry, and to learn the chef's art of simple cooking.

Review

This is delicious, grown up food with a Venetian accent. * BBC Good Food * Elegant and simple, refined yet rustic ... this book will definitely find its place on your bedside table as well as your kitchen counter. * The Kitchn * A collection of simple yet mouthwatering dishes using Knight's favourite ingredients. * Sunday Telegraph STELLA * She's young, gorgeous, a fashion college graduate, and formerly a head chef at uber-top table, Polpetto in London. If you're intimidated by all of this, you shouldn't be. Her culinary bag is uncomplicated and simple, but imaginative. A TV series can't be far off. * Image * An inspiring cookbook of dishes that focus on 10 key store-cupboard ingredients. * Grazia * Her warm, personal recipes are collected in her first cookbook; plates of refreshingly simple courgette, honey and pecorino, and burrata pickled beetroot and rhubarb show off the ingredients beautifully. And Jason Lowe's photography captures that casual London chic the Polpo restaurants are famous for. * Harpers Bazaar Online * Italian food dominates, but Knight's childhood of family meals around the dinner table comes through in desserts such as jam roly-poly and steamed apple and treacle pudding. -- Stuart Peskett * Square Meal Lifestyle * Florence is the next big thing in cooking. * Observer Food Monthly * She made her name as head chef at London's Polpetto and now Florence Knight has brought out her first book, One. In it, she turns to the kitchen cupboard to create no-nonsense but creative food from her favourite ingredients - proving just how much can be achieved with a bottle of ketchup and some imagination. * Waitrose Kitchen * Each chapter in One focuses on recipes built around one particular store cupboard ingredient, such as ketchup, oil, salt and honey. The result is a host of modern European dishes that have appeal, longevity and a touch of elegance to boot. * Olive * The new kitchen goddess * The Daily Mail * Cooking's new golden girl. * The Guardian * [An] ease is found in Florence Knight's One: A cook and her cupboard, a volume that could be a manifesto for a minimalist culinary aesthetic. * Times Literary Supplement * One cook in line for the throne of Nigella, should her era ever come to an end is Florence Knight...the food is surprisingly delicate, imaginative and simple. * Daily Telegraph * This is delicious, grown up food with a Venetian accent. * BBC Good Food * Elegant and simple, refined yet rustic ... this book will definitely find its place on your bedside table as well as your kitchen counter. * The Kitchn * A collection of simple yet mouthwatering dishes using Knight's favourite ingredients. * Sunday Telegraph STELLA * She's young, gorgeous, a fashion college graduate, and formerly a head chef at uber-top table, Polpetto in London.
