Brin Pirathapan

Transform simple everyday ingredients into weeknight meals that pack a punch with this debut cookbook from Brin Pirathapan, MasterChef winner 2024, as he elevates everyday cooking with recipes that are big on flavour and low on budget.

Whether it’s a tin of tuna or a pack or pork mince, each recipe starts with a simple, accessible ingredient instantly upgraded by Brin’s signature flair for flavour and a touch of inspiration from his Tamil Sri Lankan heritage. Expect global mash-ups, banging quick wins and moreish comfort food with a twist.

Whether you’re coming home after a long day, cooking up a weekend feast, or simply trying to escape a midweek rut, these recipes deliver big flavour with ease.

We've selected two delicious recipes from the book for you to try at home.
