If you are using eggs, push the noodles to the side of the wok and add a little more oil, then the eggs. Pierce the yolks and, when starting to set on the bottom, scramble, then mix into the noodles.

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.

And I hear that! I think for now though, I had a hard time getting excited about these recipes. Perhaps it was the beige, muted pictures (reminded me of the sad beige trend). Also I think this book is most relevant for people in the UK based on the ingredients and seasonality. I enjoyed the soup base section, and all the blurbs about sustainability, as well as the vegan options! The way to cook all the different vegetables (a section on carrots, spinach, peppers, etc) was also a fun thing. This is completely false. Beef is by far the most carbon-intensive food we can eat, wherever it's grown, whatever it's fed, not matter no how. The carbon footprint of transporting most foods is fairly insignificant compared to what is required to produce it in the first place. ESPECIALLY BEEF. (See https://www.co2everything.com/co2e-of... or https://ourworldindata.org/food-choic... or the book 'How bad are bananas') 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

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. 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. 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. I’ve read lots of cookbooks and vegetarian ones, and I appreciate the focus on using one pan or one pot not (just) as a method of convenience, but as a much more sustainable option.
