Bold by Nisha Katona
Impress friends and family without having to spend hours in the kitchen or a fortune at the supermarket. Bold by TV chef and cookery author Nisha Katona is about adding big flavours, surprising ingredient combos and incredible flavour to classic dishes, such as ‘Bengali Hash Browns’, ‘Crunchy-Nut Chicken Burgers’ and ‘Saffron & Orange Blossom Scones’. Bold is named after Nisha’s cooking style – and in honour of the first of her hugely popular Mowgli Street Food restaurants, set up in 2014 on Bold St, Liverpool. Available from good book retailers.
