The Zero Fucks CookbookBest Food Least Effort

The Zero Fucks Cookbook is best summed up by author Yumi Stynes' ten commandments: You shall not fuss. If a step can be simplified, shortened or skipped altogether, it will be. You shall use the whole tub or container, rather than leave an annoying blob in the bottom. You shall always opt for healthier food, making you feel sexier. Marshmallows do not count as an ingredient. Nor does Coca Cola, nor French Onion Soup. You are busy, not a bogan. You will never apologise. You cooked. That is enough. When it is written 'best quality' – eg, 'use 200g of best quality bacon' – it means the best quality you can afford. 'Best quality' does not equal 'most expensive'. You will always accept help. If you are in a situation where you have zero fcks left to give and someone offers to help chop, or bring a plate or salad, or buy a cake for dessert, YOU WILL SAY YES. You WILL follow the recipe! Every recipe has been carefully checked and tested by people who give vastly more fcks than you do. Trust them. Get creative later. THOU SHALT HAVE FUN. Yumi's book shows how it is possible to adhere to these principles AND enjoy delicious, tasty fuss-free food. It is divided across five chapters: weeknights; barbecue; snacks, emergencies and other moments of desperation; sweet stuff; and weekends. The key is celebrating her love of eating and cooking, without unnecessarily complicating meal time in an already busy family household.
