Praise for What to Cook When Everyone's Hungry

So colourful, with an explosion of different flavours, and easy to follow. This should be a staple on anybody’s bookshelf for inspiration, to get those taste buds working. I love it.

Rosemary Shrager

Shelina’s food has always been colourful, full of flavour and the sort of unfussy cooking you actually want to eat. Her new book is full of accessible, vibrant recipes that are perfect for everyday cooking and have deservedly made her the internet sensation that she is. A great and useful book for any home.

Sabrina Ghayour

In our house, it’s full-blown chaos from the moment the day starts with two wild little boys, endless snacks, and the eternal question: what’s for dinner? This book is an absolute lifesaver. Shelina has created the kind of recipes every wrecked parent dreams of: proper home-cooked meals, full of flavour, fast on the table, and total crowd pleasers.

Donal Skehan

Banishes breakfast, lunch and weeknight dinner dilemmas for good. Each page is packed with an eclectic mix of exciting, zero-fuss meals that'll restore serenity in your kitchen. It's the perfect recipe book for busy, hungry humans that respects both your time and tastebuds.

Becky Excell

Instantly inspired – I want to make every dish

Nathan Anthony aka Bored of Lunch

An instant classic – the ultimate jolting antidote to the frazzled sense of overwhelm that we all occasionally feel in the kitchen. Bursting with non-nonsense wisdom, clever tips and tricks, infectious creativity, and the sort of achievable, flavour-forward recipes that are built around real lives. Joyous and ingenious. No one does it like Shelina.

Jimi Famurewa

This book is truly full to the brim of recipes that bring flavour and convenience to the forefront. Whether you’re in a rush, don’t want to do any washing-up or just need to grab lunch, Shelina has got you covered. Every single recipe is exactly what you want to eat when everyone’s hungry. That crispy rice salad ooft that’s a bit of me!
