Description
'Welcome to my kitchen, my darlinks, where the aprons are optional, the laughter is mandatory and every dish is served with a side of sass.'
For Jenny Morris, food is not just about flavour. It's about connection, with ourselves and with others. It's about making memories and telling stories. Most importantly, perhaps, it's about feeling. The feeling of gratitude for nature's bounty. The joy of baking with a grandchild. The satisfaction of feeding your family a tasty meal. The pleasure of seducing a lover with their favourite food. The anticipation of that first bite. The pride when they come back for seconds.
Greedy Girl isn't just a cookbook. It's a celebration - of flavour, of fun, of feeling. With this collection of dishes that she loves and stories that she's lived, Jenny invites you to open your heart and play. Let the kitchen's magic guide you. Flirt with flavour, embrace the mess, lick the spoon, add more butter, and never, ever apologise.
Written in Jenny's characteristic playful style - sometimes sweet, sometimes spicy, always sassy - the recipes in Greedy Girl will comfort, seduce and surprise. Flavoured with Greek, Moroccan, French and South African influences, there is something here to tickle and tease every tastebud.
So go on, be greedy.
