Built around 12 core recipes, it teaches home cooks foundational techniques - from a classic tomato sauce to roasting a whole chicken - then shows how to stretch each skill into countless variations. Friendly, judgement-free and packed with personality, this hardback is perfect for beginners and confident cooks alike who want reliable, adaptable meals for every occasion. About the Book Poppy O'Toole built her reputation online by making professional kitchen skills feel achievable for everyone, and this cookbook translates that warmth and clarity onto the page. It opens with 12 Core recipes - the essential building blocks of good home cooking, such as a punchy tomato sauce, a perfectly roasted chicken, or a killer salad dressing.

Poppy's tone throughout is chatty, encouraging and utterly without pretension, mirroring the videos that made her a household name to millions of followers. Chapters are organised so beginners can start simple and progress at their own pace, while more experienced cooks can dip in for fresh ideas and shortcuts. Full of colour photography, handy tips and Poppy's trademark humour, this is a cookbook designed to be used, splashed on and returned to again and again - not left pristine on a shelf. It's an
