JAMES BEARD AWARD NOMINEE!

A collection of clever, flavour-forward, sweet and savoury recipes that, thanks to a capsule of global pantry ingredients, will satisfy just about every craving.

With the help of his 15 favourite pantry heroes, Gurdeep Loyal demonstrates how any home cook – of any ability – can greatly improve their daily cooking with minimal effort for maximum reward.

The essential ingredients are:  harissa, pecorino Romano, gochujang, Thai green paste, yuzu koshō, tamarind, mango chutney, chipotle paste, toasted sesame oil, miso, ’nduja, Calabrian chilli paste, dark roasted peanut butter, instant espresso powder and dark maple syrup.

Each of the 90 recipes shines a spotlight on the unlimited ways these pantry ingredients can be used. From the smoky-heat of chipotle chilli paste in a Nacho Cauliflower Cheese, to a spoonful of miso to add savoury-umami depth to Sticky Lemongrass-Miso Lamb Ribs, or even instant espresso powder to intensify the chocolatiness of Treacle-Mocha Brownies, Flavour Heroes shows how easy it can be, to pack any dish you make with flavour.
