Happy Leons: LEON Happy One-pot Cooking

Reviews

We plan on making some of the fish recipes - there are several and they all look tasty. This is a fabulous recipe book for anyone to own, especially if you like winter comfort foods, but is also a great one for 'just married's' and newly left home young people as the step-by-step recipes are so easy and ingredients easily obtainable.

One-pots means less washing up which is always a bonus. On the downside, many are really expensive to cook or require more unusual ingredients - so you really need to plan. Many of the recipes in the book are great for two or are easy to cut down. Items that are usually in any kitchen.

It is full of impressive recipes, both in looks and flavour, which require fairly minimal preparation and can be cooked in one pot/pan to be served as it is with minimal faffing with accompanying dishes. This is one of many 'LEON' cook books and as I am quite a lazy cook but love flavours, this one is perfect for me.

I love a stew but I want variety of meats, vegetables and, most of all, flavours. The book has recipes and flavours for all, including many vegetarian meals as well as meats, chicken and fish, all very flavoursome and mostly easy to prepare.

Anything that simplifies cooking is always welcome, and since I only cook for two I appreciate smaller recipes. Locally scallions are around $4 for a small pouch of four. There are basic favourites – like sausage and mash – but with the perfect gravy to go with it. But just as many are pretty cheap to make - potatoes, eggs and other common ingredients.

I must admit to being drawn to one pot dishes, especially after more complex dishes that leave the kitchen looking like and explosion in Lakeland! We've made a few and love them all. The cookware is also common and not specialized, so pretty much any home-chef can make them. That's costly for onions.
