Synopsis

Flash is the everyday cooking of the future. Using Laura Santtini's clever and easily prepared 'flavour bombs', fast flavourings literally flash in the pan. The difference between her dishes and other fast food, however, is that they are designed to promote wellbeing and keep you trim and fit. She makes the ordinary extraordinary by showing readers how to transform familiar basic everyday ingredients - fish fillets and steaks, chicken breasts, etc. - into a wide range of exciting and nutritious meals that draw on many popular cuisines of the world to keep the taste buds tingling. Readers will be able to ring the changes on favourite foods from salmon fillets glazed with maple syrup and ginger to pork cutlets with sage and anchovy butter and cauliflower steaks with harissa and feta cheese. There are dishes for all occasions, even energizing breakfasts and all-day snacks. Fast, healthy, simple and flavour-packed, Laura's recipes sparkle with magic. This book will inspire readers to embrace new flavours and will become the essential guide for everyone looking for fabulous fast food for a fit life.

Media Reviews
'It's not often that you come across someone with a fresh way of thinking about food, but Laura Santtini is one of them.' -- Lucas Holweg, Sunday Times Style 'A foodie apothecary of flavours [her] spice rack will revolutionize your kitchen.' -- Stylist magazine 'The Domestic goddess is so last season, this is the year of the Domestic Alchemist!' -- The Culinary Guide 'Her food is a daring mix of unexpected ingredients that surprises and delights at every turn.' -- LivingEtc 'Ms Santtini's book is what Ferraris are to Fords. It's bold, beautiful and daring.' -- A Forkful of Spaghetti '...it may be her Venetian ancestry coming out in her blood... Her food alchemy is a novel concept and has a lively, mythical magic.' -- Steenbergs Organics
Author Bio
Laura Santtini is half Italian, a quarter Persian with a pinch of Sephardic and the rest an English-Irish mix; she's the self-confessed genetic equivalent of a Molotov cocktail. Acclaimed as the 'Mistress of Flavour', food is in Laura's DNA and much of her passion for it came from her family, as her parents founded the renowned Italian restaurant Santini in London's Belgravia, which Laura ran for several years. She later established herself as the world's first gastro-therapist while writing for Waitrose Food Illustrated. Her first book, Easy Tasty Italian won the Guild of Food Writers Jeremy Round Award for Best First Book in 2010. In the same year she translated her intense flavour combinations central to the book into an innovative and hugely internationally successful range of food products, Laura Santtini's Spellbinding Flavours, including her phenomenally popular Taste #5 Umami Paste. Laura is currently providing her bitter-sweet gastro therapy/agony aunt advice for AOL's Mydaily. She lives in South West London with her husband and two children. www.laurasanttini.com
