Donna Hay, Australia's most trusted and bestselling cookbook author, returns with a follow up to her much-loved bestselling classic, Basics to Brilliance. In Even More Basics to Brilliance, the follow-up to Donna's internationally best-selling book Basics to Brilliance, you'll find more of those much-loved foundation recipes everyone needs in their cooking repertoire - but reimagined for today's home cook, with simple flavour switch-ups and shortcuts to take you from basics to brilliance in the kitchen. When Donna first launched her visually-stunning hardcover book Basics to Brilliance in 2016, she had no idea its pages would become home to some of her (and the country's!) most cherished cult recipes, including that failproof fall-apart slow-cooked beef brisket and the most addictive molten choc-chunk brownies. Just like Basics to Brilliance, this modern reference book is bursting with Donna's tried-and-true classic recipes -designed with today's home cook in mind, you'll also find a simple and nourishing base stock for ramen (hello, bowls of umami), the tastiest oven-roasted tomato sauce (say goodbye to stirring at the stove-top!) and the easiest, serve-with-everything yoghurt flatbreads, not to mention the fluffiest foolproof carrot cake and a show-stopping Basque cheesecake. Each recipe is followed by clever variations and flavour shortcuts to make them even easier to master, while giving home cooks the confidence to elevate their cooking to delicious new heights. And in true Donna style, there are plenty of clever change-ups along the way!
