In this hardback collection she shares the recipes that have made her café a Bristol institution, reworked for home cooks following the 5:2 diet. The book is split between fast-day recipes, designed to be light, satisfying, and easy to prepare on busy days, and feast-day dishes that celebrate bolder flavours, comfort, and indulgence for the rest of the week. Drawing on global influences alongside familiar home-cooking staples, Elly's recipes make the most of seasonal, affordable ingredients and encourage shopping from local greengrocers and markets. Throughout, there's practical guidance on meal planning, stocking a flexible pantry, and reducing food waste, helping readers build sustainable habits rather than follow a restrictive diet. From nourishing breakfasts and packed lunches to simple midweek dinners and crowd-pleasing feast-day spreads, the collection is designed to fit around real life. With its clear instructions, approachable tone, and genuinely delicious results, this is a cookbook that earns its place as an everyday kitchen companion, whether you're new to the 5:2 approach or already a convert looking for fresh inspiration from one of the UK's most popular café owners and food writers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 100 pescatarian recipes for fast days and feast days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBased on the popular 5:2 way of eating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractical tips on meal planning, pantry stocking, and reducing waste\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlobally inspired dishes using seasonal, affordable ingredients\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by Pear Cafe founder and food writer Elly Curshen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurable new hardback, perfect for everyday kitchen use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nElly Curshen, known to many as Elly Pear, is the founder of the hugely popular Pear Cafe in Bristol.
