A first cookbook for someone just learning their way around a kitchen, seventy recipes built for small budgets and smaller spaces, from microwave meals to air-fryer dinners.

The recipes stay unintimidating on purpose: banana mug cakes, cheesy frittata muffins, halloumi fries. Real food, made simple, for people cooking for themselves for the first time.

Slip it into a care package, or hand it over with a set of pans when someone moves into a first apartment.

For the new graduate finding their feet in the kitchen. A good place to begin.
