Elevate: Everyday Ingredients, Incredible Flavours

Cook smarter, braver and better with basic ingredients. Packed with personality, clever ideas and serious flavour, this is everyday cooking turned all the way up. ‘If ever there was a cookbook to fill you with joy and happiness, this is the one.’ – Michel Roux Jr This is everyday cooking turned all the way up; packed with personality, clever ideas and serious flavour. Rooted in his Tamil Sri Lankan heritage, Brin’s cooking is all about balance, bold flavours, and big-hearted food. Each recipe starts with a simple, accessible ingredient – think a tin of tuna or a pack of pork mince – and transforms it into something tasty, all while keeping things budget-friendly. Expect global mash-ups, banging quick wins, moreish comfort food with a twist: like the crispy edges of his Spicy Squasage Traybake, roti-reinvented Kothu Panzanella, slurpy Udon Carbonara or sweet ’n salty Marmite Tofu. Hope you left room for pudding… as you’re going to want a dollop of his caramel-laced Sticky Cola Pudding, or perhaps a Pina Colada Sundae? Whether you’re coming home after a long day, cooking up a weekend feast, or simply trying to escape a midweek rut, these recipes deliver big flavour with ease. Alongside, you’ll also find practical tips – from filleting a fish to deboning a chicken thigh or mastering a perfect julienne – giving you the confidence to cook with skill and creativity.
