FOOD & DRINK

Mince conjures up different memories for people. For some, it is a reminder of early cooking attempts with dishes such as spaghetti Bolognese. For others, it is about having to live within a tight budget. Yet for other, mince dishes are fondly associated with 'comfy', homely meals. What has become apparent as the author researched extensively for this book is that mince is used widely in many parts of the world, and it has benefited from culinary influences that span across geographies and cultural boundaries.
