Orange City Library: Elizabeth Hewson Home Food
Real, delicious, achievable food...
We are celebrationg Orange FOOD Week with a wonderful event featuriing Elizabeth Hewson launching her latest Cook Book - Home Food - in conversation with local author Sophie Hansen. It is not to be missed.
The perfect cookbook for imperfect cooks: elegant ease, cookable recipes
Forget perfection! Home Food delivers simple, comforting, sometimes nostalgic, always proudly imperfect family eating – from weeknight ease to weekend pottering Real, delicious, achievable food. For when dinner just needs to be dinner.
When being tired and hungry is the default setting of adult life, we crave comfort over complexity.
Food writer and columnist Elizabeth Hewson is the master of elegant ease, coaxing maximum flavour from a few simple ingredients, with recipes that have just enough 'give' to keep things stress-free.
Home Food is designed for our busy, imperfect lives. There's something for everyone here, no matter what your week looks like. If minimal effort is all you can muster? Turn to 'Throw together meals'.
For familiar flavours with flexible shortcuts, try a 'Realistic dinner'. 'Midweek pastas' offer quick comfort, 'One and Dones' will feed a crowd (and halve your washing up), and 'Linchpins' are the simple flavour-bombs that enhance any meal. 'Pottering' is for those days you might have a bit more time and want to lose yourself in the rhythm of cooking, and 'Puddings' – well, who doesn't want a little bowl of happiness at the end of the day?
Uncomplicated and reliably delicious, with Lizzie's recipes, you'll never be stuck for a reason to stay in.
About the author:
Elizabeth Hewson is a wearer of many aprons – a home cook, recipe writer, columnist, author, creator of the #SaturdayNightPasta movement and former head of creative at Australian hospitality group, Fink.
Her love of food and storytelling began in 2013 with her first book, Moving Out…Eating In, a cookbook for home leavers. Her second book, Saturday Night Pasta, was published in 2020 at the height of the pandemic-induced pasta-from-scratch boom.
At the same time, she created self-care fresh food packs, a side hustle that has grown into a range of award-winning sauces and dried pastas that are stocked in hundreds of stores around Australia. In 2023, she joined The Weekend Australian Magazine as their resident home cooking food columnist.
In Home Food, Hewson has applied formidable zeal to the creation of a simple, original collection of recipes that is immune to algorithm-driven trends and instead truly reflects how modern families cook and eat today. Lizzie lives in Sydney's inner west with her husband and two young children.
Books will be available for sales and singings on the night supported by Collins Booksellers, Orange.
