A new cookbook by Zena Kamgaing, featuring photography by Yuki Sugiura, presents seven dinner recipes designed to be ready in just 15 minutes. The book, titled "Dinner Time," aims to elevate fast food with diverse and flavorful options.
Among the featured recipes is Harissa Butter Steak Flatbreads, which utilizes thin-cut steaks that cook quickly and are basted in a harissa butter. Another offering is Broccoli Caesar Pasta Salad, a dish that incorporates anchovies into the dressing and a crumb topping for added umami depth without a fishy taste.
Sticky Tamarind Salmon with Roasted Longstem Broccoli offers a recipe where tamarind paste is combined with fish sauce, sugar, and garlic to create a glaze for salmon fillets. The dish is accompanied by roasted broccoli and rice. For a no-cook option, the No-Cook Prawn & Avocado Tacos require minimal preparation, involving chopped ingredients and a prepared avocado salsa.
The cookbook also includes a Charred Corn & Kimchi Fried Rice, which combines charred sweetcorn with spicy kimchi for a flavorful fried rice. A Silky Crab Linguine recipe is presented as a quick, date-night dish featuring fresh pasta, crab meat, and a creamy sauce. Lastly, Crispy Za’atar Sea Bass with Jewelled Giant Couscous pairs pan-seared sea bass with a vibrant couscous salad, offering a simple yet complex flavor profile.
"Dinner Time" is available for purchase, with options for ordering a copy at a discounted price. The publisher is Bloomsbury, and the book's photography is by Yuki Sugiura.
