I didn't have a favourite cookbook until I bought this one. Every recipe I've tried has been both relatively simple but super tasty.
I used to have a suspicion of budget cookbooks as a home for bland can-of-soup-type recipes, but Emily Wight manages to make simple, affordable, and delicious meals without straying into the processed food aisles.
A few of my favourites from the book
-Channa Masala (closest to authentic I've ever tasted)
-Peanutty Soba Noodles with Kale (super duper easy and so tasty)
-Delicata tacos with corn (squash tacos! Yum!)
I'd strongly recommend this book to everybody!
