The Versatile Cook isn’t about perfect recipes that take hours to prepare. We know what life’s really like. You have a pantry with six ingredients, and you need to make something now.

Our recipes often don’t use strict measures, they might be unpredictable and sometimes we can improve on them. And, we’ll tell you so there are no surprises.

Like you, we’re also working to a budget. We don’t use exotic ingredients you’ll have to order off the Internet. We use whatever is at hand, and make up the rest with creativity.
