Ready, steady cook with Neven Maguire

TAKE out your stopwatch and try the following experiment: phone in your favourite takeaway order and wait for it to arrive.

Then, pick a far more nutritious and healthy option, from Neven Maguire’s new book, The Nation’s Favourite Food Fast!, and start cooking.

Chances are the healthy option will be ready at least in the time you waited for your takeaway to arrive. All the recipes in this sumptuous new book have been tried and tested and take, on average, 40 or 45 minutes from chopping board to plate.
