Craving a Takeaway

Description

52 British fakeaway recipes from the Chinese, the curry house, the kebab shop and the chippy, cooked at home in a normal kitchen.

You know that Friday-night feeling. Nothing else will do. You can already taste the sweet and sour chicken, or smell the korma next to a pile of pillow-soft naan. You want a takeaway, and you want it now.

Craving a Takeaway is a fakeaway cookbook from Michelle Adenle of the food blog My Morning Mocha, full of the Chinese, Indian, kebab shop and chippy favourites you’d normally order in.

WHAT’S INSIDE

• The Chinese Takeaway: 21 recipes, including crispy chilli chicken and chow mein
• The Curry House: 10 recipes, including korma, onion bhajis and keema naan
• The Kebab Shop: 8 recipes, including lamb shish and flatbreads
• The Chippy: 6 recipes, including battered fish and battered sausages
• The Takeaway Counter: 7 recipes, including double cheeseburgers, pepperoni pizza and dirty fries

A takeaway is never just the main. That’s why the 52 include the sauces, the sides and the breads that finish the meal, not only the headline dishes. Everything you need for a proper fakeaway feast.

No calorie counts. No air fryer. No special equipment. Just recipes cooked, tested and photographed at home. Ten recipes are exclusive to this book. The rest have been retested and rewritten, with photography throughout.

Enough here for a year of Friday nights.
