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.

Had a lot of messages about my ADHD diagnosis and it all makes sense now!

Same brain, same me, a bit clearer but just as chaotic

📣 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.

Never know who you might bump into on matchdays at The Rec. 🍴💫

It was great to welcome @lagomchef to Hospitality this weekend, the absolute iconic "food waste disruptor".

And with a shirt like that, you're welcome back anytime, Martyn. 🤣👏

Some epic bloopers from my shoot with @disneyuk

This dish was a real journey Tamales?! Have you ever made them? Unreal.: they were sooooo tasty!

Thank you Sandra and Smokey from @homiesondonkeys I hope I did the right thing justice!

If you’ve read anything I’ve written before, you’ll know that my favourite places to eat are never the ones that are easy to find. There’s usually a gravel track, a questionable signal and at least one moment where you wonder if you’ve made a terrible mistake. Inkie’s Smokehouse ticks all of those boxes and then adds a waterfall for good measure.

If you know you kinda know what salad this one is a version of!!

I say it all the time “blanch and refresh” this will unlock delicious crunchy veg in your salads, great for when doing meal prep for lunch or a BBQ.

Switch out the grains, add some nuts, some citrus, some fish, some chicken, more veggies you choose! That sauce though 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

If you want the recipe then get over to the @plate_up_
