Book Review: Three Ways With Stale Bread by Ross Dobson

Three Ways With Stale Bread is a compilation of 300 plain and simple recipes presented in a casual and relaxed format with ingredients highlighted throughout the recipe rather than given as a list.

 

There is nothing flashy about Three Ways With Stale Bread. The book is plain and simple just like the recipes inside. There are no glossy photos of the finished dishes. This is more a recipe book to be left on the kitchen bench and actually used on a day to day basis.

In this innovative recipe book Ross Dobson has formulated a simple method of using leftover ingredients, with a list of 100 common ingredients you would find in fridges and pantries all over Australia and corresponding recipes.

 

Simply look up the ingredient you have at hand from the list of 100 common ingredients, turn to the relevant page and there will be three quick and simple recipes using that main ingredient.

100 ingredients and 300 delicious, fuss free recipes with an extensive index and conversion chart in the back of the book.

 

I'll let Rob have the last word:

 

This book is not about reinventing your pantry ..... it's all about making the most of what you have at hand. It is all about being creative, thoughtful and resourceful. 

- Ross Dobson

 

Three Ways With Stale Bread is the perfect book for gifting in times like these when we are all looking for ways to be more thrifty.
