Cookbook writer and social media phenomenon Amy Sheppard offers her advice on how to serve up hassle-free home cooking. The Instagram account of 44-year-old cook Amy Sheppard (@amysheppardfood) reminds you of home.

“I’m an autumn cook, I suppose,” laughs Sheppard, heating up a bowl of homemade soup in the wood-panelled family kitchen in her home on the south coast of Cornwall. “I love cheese, I love hearty foods. It’s all about those dishes which make you feel cosy.
