Home Cook – Over 300 Delicious, Fuss-Free Recipes by Thomasina Miers

Home Cook: Over 300 Delicious, Fuss-Free Recipes by Thomasina Miers is a substantial and beautifully presented cookbook designed around delicious, achievable food for everyday life. First published in 2017 by Guardian Books and Faber & Faber, this first edition brings together more than 300 recipes from Miers, the acclaimed cook, restaurateur and food writer.

The emphasis throughout Home Cook is on food that delivers maximum flavour without unnecessary complication. Drawing on recipes associated with the Guardian’s Weekend Cook, Miers offers an extensive collection suited to everything from relaxed weekday meals to cooking for family and friends. Her approach combines accessible ingredients and practical techniques with imaginative flavours, making the book equally useful for experienced home cooks and those wanting to expand their everyday repertoire.

The collection reflects Miers’ enthusiasm for vibrant, sociable food and covers an impressive range of dishes, providing a versatile single-volume reference for the kitchen. Tara Fisher’s food photography complements the recipes and gives Home Cook considerable visual appeal.

This large-format hardcover edition is particularly attractive with its distinctive illustrated cloth-covered boards, making it as suitable for display as it is for regular kitchen use. With more than 300 recipes in one volume, Home Cook offers excellent practical value and would make a strong addition to any modern cookbook collection.
