One: Pot, Pan, Planet: A greener way to cook for you, your family and the planet

Product Information

Still dedicated to giving us stylish dishes with maximal flavour (think broad bean and green herb shakshuka, and golden rosti with ancho chili chutney), the book is punctuated with palatable nuggets of information: in chapters entitled ‘Planet I’ and ‘Planet II,’ Jones explains how we might combat the climate crisis through small behavioural changes around the way we eat.”— Harper’s Bazaar In the written asides to the 200 recipes, though, there is a new steeliness. She is clear in the introduction that we are at “a turning point, in a moment of crisis” and “the most powerful thing we can do is eat fewer animals and more plants”. She has spent almost three years on One and that time has gone into simplifying recipes, attempting to minimise food waste, and offer sustainable choices and value for money. One is also her first cookbook where 99% of her recipes have a vegan alternative. The recipes here are some of Jones’s favourites; in particular, she has a soft spot for the saag aloo shepherd’s pie. “There’s always a few standout recipes in the book that, when you get them out of the oven, you do a little fist pump,” she says. Das Kochen und ich waren nie besonders gute Freunde. Im letzten Jahr hat meine jahrelang gehegte Abneigung allerdings eine 180-Grad-Wende vollzogen und großen Anteil daran haben die Bücher von Anna Jones. "A Modern Way to Eat" und "A Modern Way to CookCook" nehme ich regelmäßig zur Hand und aufgrund der vielfältigen Auswahl wird es nie langweilig.

Instead of the particular recipes, I’ll use the book as a framework and reminder to eat more local veg, don’t have a million things cooking at once (guilty), and try to limit international cooking items - but that’s also hard (and those ingredients aren’t even salient to my cultural identity!)Bring to the boil, then turn down to a gentle simmer for 25 minutes, to allow the flavours to infuse, adding more hot water from time to time if needed. Strain the broth if you are serving straight away, or if you plan to eat this later cool with the vegetables left in for a more intense flavour, and strain before reheating. Mam wrażenie, że są tu przepisy, które stanowią szukanie zdrowszej wersji kosztem smaczniejszej - to oczywiście może być dla kogoś atrakcyjne, ale dla mnie jest minusem.

It's also important to emphasize how inconvenient our current societal norms/superstores, government regulations, and corporations make it to be sustainable and eco-conscious. Many times, it's just easier and cheaper to buy certain foods. It's an incredible privilege to be able to choose your ingredients/cook in sustainable ways that unfortunately many people do not have easy access too. To balance the broth, squeeze in the lemon juice, taste and add more, if you’d like, and add soy or salt as needed. You should have a delicately flavoured, fragrant broth. Grease a deep 23cm square springform baking tin. Heat the oven to 160C fan/gas mark 4. Put all the dry ingredients, except 1 teaspoon of the ground ginger and the dark brown sugar, into a bowl. Whisk to combine.One brings together a way of eating that is mindful of the planet. Anna gives you practical advice and shows how every small change in planning, shopping and reducing waste will make a difference. There are also 100 recipes for using up any amount of your most-eaten veg and ideas to help you use the foods that most often end up being thrown away. Really wanted to love this one since it seems to touch on everything I appreciate: straightforward, veggie-focused, flexible, practical meals with an eco-conscious eye.

Anna Jones trained under Jamie Oliver and has now made a name for herself as one of the best wholly veggie chefs . . . Not only is [her book] brimming with excellent recipes, [it] is also a bible on how to live greener, healthier lives overall. Anna has spent three years tweaking and testing recipes to make them as easy, cheap, and sustainable as possible.”— Woman & Home Whip the cream or vegan cream a little shy of soft peaks, then fold in the yoghurt. Add the finely chopped stem ginger and stir it through with the ginger syrup and lemon zest. But. Of the entire book of dozens/hundreds of recipes, I only bookmarked one: the lemongrass & tofu larb. None of the other recipes felt like things I wanted to cook as an everyday meal. Lovely sounding flavor combinations, though. Update: And the lemongrass & tofu larb is...fine. Not going into our regular rotation. At several points in the book the author seems to posit that eating local and reducing food miles is the best thing we can do to reduce our impact on the climate - even going so far as to claim that eating locally raised grass-fed beef would be better than eating a processed vegan sausage that's been flown into the country.This fool, spiked with ginger, is so light and pillowy, and so pleasingly neon. I find it hard to think of a dessert I’d rather eat. The rhubarb brings a welcome sharpness and pop of bright pink. Vegan cream may not whip to soft peaks – just whip it as much as you can. For non-vegan brownies, make the chocolate batter by melting 150g of the chocolate (saving the rest for the top) with the oil in a small pan over a low heat. Whisk together the dry ingredients. Create a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add the eggs and vanilla. Stir to combine. Pour in the melted chocolate and give the batter another stir until the chocolate is mixed through. As the title suggests, most of these are one pan recipes but they aren't the sort of thing I would associate with a one pan meal. A one pan meal makes me think of something boring like a shepherds pie or other traditional, stodgy sort of food, but these recipes where the sort of meal that goes well with a good salad and perhaps some sourdough bread and is the sort of food I love eating.

For the non-vegan cake, melt the butter in a pan, then whisk in the dark brown sugar and chopped stem ginger. Leave to cool slightly, then beat in the eggs one by one, until emulsified. Fold through the dry ingredients and pour into the prepared cake tin. Most of the recipes are organized by what you cook it in (chapter one = pot, chapter three = pan, and so on). My favorite chapter took a turn and focused on the top vegetables available in supermarkets and outlined 10 ways to cook it. For example, broccoli gratin, broccoli miso salad, broccoli pesto, etc. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180C fan/gas mark 6. Put the potatoes into a large pan (leaving enough space to add the cauliflower later). Cover with boiling water, add half a tablespoon of salt and bring to the boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are almost cooked, then add the cauliflower for the last 6 minutes. Drain well.

One: Pot, Pan, Planet Anna Jones

For the vegan cake, melt the coconut oil in a pan, then whisk in the dark brown sugar and stem ginger pieces. Add the coconut oil mix to the flour mixture and whisk to combine. Now, with the whisk running, add the sparkling water and mix until the batter is smooth and light. Pour into the prepared cake tin. I got a handful of new cookbooks at the beginning of this year and ONE: POT, PAN, PLANET was by far my favorite. The format is so practical and it’s full of not only recipes but also very actionable tips for being more resourceful in the kitchen. The author included a section for different ways to cook with common ingredients…and I’ve found it so helpful for cooking things on the fly. For someone who already loves cooking, this book has helped me become more creative in the kitchen and even more excited to cook. I want everyone to have it.”–Kate Arenda, Wit & Delight
