Inside, you’ll find a generous mix of family favourites and modern comfort food, from beloved classics like mutton akhni, mince curry, and coconut pudding, to creative twists such as chilli bite waffles, karak ice cream, kataifi millefeuille, and quick crowd-pleasers like sticky jam chops, lemon chicken, and peri-peri prawns. More than just a recipe book, Damn Good Food teaches you how to build flavour with confidence.
