Don’t Sweat the Aubergine by Nicholas Clee

The Cookbook that breaks the rules and simplifies your kitchen life.

Have you ever bought a cookbook, only to find yourself cooking just one or two dishes from it? Most of us do. Why? Because the rest of the recipes feel like they’re written for master chefs rather than home cooks. That’s where Don’t Sweat the Aubergine by Nicholas Clee comes to the rescue.

This is not just another collection of complicated dishes — it’s a no-nonsense guide to cooking that actually makes sense. Clee tackles those frustrating kitchen mysteries that leave even experienced cooks scratching their heads. Why do some recipes insist on soaking rice while others don’t bother? Why does your mince never seem to “brown” properly, no matter how hard you try? And do you really need to sweat that aubergine with salt beforehand?

In his signature wry and witty style, Clee delivers practical answers and insightful advice, helping you break free from culinary dogma and reclaim your kitchen confidence. From debunking myths to sharing jargon-free recipes that will become your new go-tos, this book doesn’t just teach you to cook — it makes cooking feel effortless and fun.

Packed with down-to-earth wisdom and practical tips, Don’t Sweat the Aubergine is your ticket to stress-free, satisfying meals every day. Whether you’re a seasoned cook or just starting out, this book will revolutionize the way you think about cooking. After all, why make things complicated when you don’t have to?
