Eat The Food You Buy
By Martyn Odell (me)

You guessed it, no air fryer cookbooks but this summer you will be able to get your hands on Eat The food You Buy! Coming 16th July!

Pre-order your copy of the last cookbook you will ever need!

You open the fridge after a long day and are faced with a few limp carrots and a sad looking onion, but before you reach for that takeaway menu, STOP! Eat the Food You Buy will show you how to turn the most wasted household ingredients into banging meals.

With ten chapters on veg, five on meat and fish, plus a whole treasure trove of recipes using cupboard essentials, this book is sure to inspire you no matter how bare your fridge looks.
 
* Those sad, bendy carrots are about to have a glow-up in a Som-Tum-Style Salad
* Wrinkly potatoes (we all have them!) can be boiled, kept in the fridge and ready to turn into The Ultimate Rosti whenever you’re out of ideas 
* Last Sunday’s roast beef? Hellooo Philly Cheese Steak
* And you can whip up Martyn’s ridiculously tasty Harissa Beans with just a few jars and tins

Not only will this cookbook make your shopping go further, it will slash your reliance on processed foods and pricey takeaways, help reduce food waste and prove that cooking with simple ingredients can be absolutely delicious.

Ad. In my personal opinion, you can’t beat smoky things, so whenever I have the chance to whip out the BBQ to char some bits to make them go all smoky, I jump at it!

I used the GoodHome Elland Kettle BBQ from @bandq_uk it does everything you need. Get’s hot, control the hot, work surface, hanging rail,bottle opener and a lid holder so you don’t have to hold the lid while cooking... what more do you need from a BBQ.

This is a pretty traditional ratatouille but with an added step of getting loads of delicious flavours in using the coals on the BBQ. Food doesn’t have to be complicated to be delicious, build those levels of flavours, balance the flavours and season.

The one simple win with cooking on a BBQ is to have a direct (hot) and indirect (cooler hot) this allows you to control the cooking and give you different results. Slowly stew the ratatouille while Charing the lamb chops.

Enjoy your BBQ champions (when the weather is nice)

Big love

📣 New Episode Alert!

Chef, content creator and food waste activist Martyn Odell - better known online as @lagomchef - joins @seedlip_benfor a chaotic, funny and emotional conversation about ADHD, creativity, food, and finally understanding his brain.

Diagnosed with ADHD midway through writing his first cookbook, Martyn reflects on growing up in kitchens where chaos and intensity were normalised, and why that made it difficult to recognise the difference between personality, coping and neurodivergence. They explore ADHD creativity, burnout, internet culture, the pressure of social media, and what happens when your job relies on constantly turning your brain into content.

Martyn shares why “eat the food you buy” became his philosophy, how cooking can help people reconnect with themselves, and why perfection is ruining the way we think about food.

I think this makes sense in my head! Does it make sense?

If my stream of consciousness doesn’t make sense my book does as I had a fantastic editor to help pull my brain together.

There are loads of amazing ratios dotted around in food this is just one small one which unlocks a lot.
