Details Condition: Brand New Format: Hardback ISBN: 9780008385118 Publisher: HarperCollins Age Range: Adult Overview The Ice Kitchen by Shivi Ramoutar is a smart, practical cookbook built around one brilliantly simple idea: cook once, eat twice. Every recipe is designed so half can be enjoyed fresh while the rest is frozen and recooked straight from the freezer, with zero flavour lost. Perfect for busy families, meal preppers and anyone wanting to cut food waste, save money and reclaim precious time in the kitchen, this hardback guide turns your freezer into your greatest culinary asset. About the Book Shivi Ramoutar built her reputation on vibrant, contemporary Caribbean cooking, and in The Ice Kitchen she channels that same inventive spirit into solving one of modern life's biggest kitchen headaches: how to eat well without spending hours cooking every single day. The book is structured around a clever "cook once, eat twice" philosophy, splitting each recipe so that one portion is ready to enjoy immediately while the other is filed away in the freezer for a future meal, recooked straight from frozen with no loss of flavour or texture. Alongside full recipes, Ramoutar introduces a toolkit of freezer-friendly techniques, including freezer filing systems to keep your freezer organised and waste-free, ice cube butters for instant flavour hits, "salvation sauces" that rescue quick weeknight meals, and her signature no-cook Ice Kitchen Jam. The result is a cookbook that is as much about method and mindset as it is about individual dishes, teaching readers how to shop, batch-cook and store smarter so that healthy, home-cooked food is always within reach, even on the busiest days. Praised by fellow food writer Rukmini Iyer, the book has become a go-to reference for families juggling budgets and time pressures.
