Book SynopsisA Waterstones 'Best Books of 2022: Food and Drink' A Times Food and Drink Book of the Year 2022 and a Spectator Cook Book of the Year 2022 A Stylist Christmas Gift Pick 2022 'If pasta is a religion, this book is its sermon' Russell Norman, founder of Polpo and Brutto 'Rewarding ... you discover a lot about Italy here ... huge fun' Sunday Times In one shape or another, pasta has been an Italian staple since the days of ancient Rome. It has been the food of peasants, the pride of royalty and a culinary badge of honour for Italian emigrants all over the world. It's hard to imagine Italy without pasta, yet the history of the country's most famous food has changed with the fortunes of eaters and cooks alike. In A Brief History of Pasta, discover the humble origins of fettuccine Alfredo that lie in a back-street trattoria in Rome, how Genovese sauce became a Neapolitan staple and what conveyor belts have to do with serving spaghetti. Meet the people who have shaped pasta's history, from the traders who brought pesto to the world to the celebrity chef who sparked national outrage by adding an unpeeled garlic clove to his recipe for amatriciana sauce. Renowned culinary historian Luca Cesari delves into the fascinating variety of his country's best-loved food, serving up the secrets behind the creamiest carbonara, the richest ragù alla Bolognese and the tastiest tortellini.Trade ReviewCesari chases the origins of pasta dishes back in time like a spaghetti detective ... If you're really interested in pasta, you should buy this book. * Daily Telegraph *Rewarding ... you discover a lot about Italy here ... huge fun * Sunday Times *Who knew that the history of pasta is as twisty as fusilli and as tangled as tagliatelle?

I discovered this fact, and about a thousand others, in Cesari's new book, A Brief History of Pasta, which, attentive as it is to origin stories, and thus to basics, could not make for more suitable reading right now if it tried. -- Rachel Cooke * Observer *A glorious book, carefully and precisely skewering all of the received ideas about 'authenticity' ... It made me giggle fiendishly and occasionally punch the air -- Annie Gray, author * At Christmas We Feast *Luca Cesari serves up a delicious combination of recipes, both ancient and modern, entertaining anecdotes, and rare insights into the diverse histories and characters of Italy's different regions. A delicious treat for anyone who wants a deeper relationship with Italy and its food -- Helena Attlee, author * The Land Where Lemons Grow: The Story of Italy and Its Citrus Fruit *A fascinating history of one of the world's best loved foods, peppered with interesting facts like a well seasoned cacio e pepe. Through in-depth research, Cesari proves that contrary to what many purists will claim, there are no hard and fast rules when making even the best loved pasta dishes. A compelling read giving a long overdue green light to putting garlic in your Amatriciana should you so wish! -- Amber Guinness

Meze Publishing The Food We Love: Home-cooked, nourishing food at
Book SynopsisFood has always been at the heart of Natalie Gerrelli's homelife. From childhood memories filled with the aromas of her mum's homemade bread at teatime and purple-stained fingers from blackberry picking in the autumn right through her career as a development technologist at herb and spice specialists Schwarz, she has made the kitchen very much the heart of her home. And now, using her three girls as willing guinea pigs for her recipe creations, Natalie has pulled all that experience and affection for creating dishes into her first cook book, The Food We Love. The book is full of recipes for dishes that she has enjoyed making in her kitchen for family and friends; a keepsake for when her girls fly the nest, and as a reminder of home and of the food they all love. The book is an alluring and comforting keepsake, full of the kind of dishes you'll cherish and cook from again and again. Chapters Good Morning...Breakfast & Brunch; Baked...Biscuits, Cakes & Breads; It's a Soup Day; Outside...Salads & Picnics; Perfect Pasta; Spiced...Flavours from Afar; Comfort...Food for Cold Days; Pudding...The Perfect Ending Based in Wirksworth in and amongst the rolling hills of Derbyshire, Natalie has always been an avid reader of cook books, and loves nothing more than taking her favourite recipes and tweaking and adapting them to put her own mark on them. Meanwhile, her love of travel sees familiar British flavours influenced by trips to the Mediterranean and the Americas while her experience eating in north African restaurants has also been a major influence. Among the recipes featured in The Food We Love are: Chocolate Chip & Banana Drop Scones; Italian style Plum Cake, Spaghetti with sardines, fennel and lemon; Poached chicken with green lentils, watercress and mustard dressing; Brown sugar meringues with orange scented berries and cream.

Blue Hills Press Recipes for an Aching Heart: Healthy & Easy Meals
Book SynopsisHave you ever been in a period of life where normal, everyday responsibilities feel overwhelming? Where even getting out of bed in the morning is a feat, let alone making a meal for yourself and your family? If so, this book is for you.This might be a time of break-up, loss, when you’re caring for a sick loved one, or simply when a confluence of life factors that make you feel like you’re paddling to stay above water. For Chef Laura Lea, this debilitating season showed up unwelcomely after going through divorce in 2018. Five years into her business as a holistic chef, she was under daily pressure to display healthy routines and keep up appearances. But reality left her with no appetite and lacking the motivation to even step into the kitchen. In attempt to cope she found herself relying on fast-food, junky snacks, and lots of wine. Ultimately these choices hindered the process of healing from divorce. Instead, they contributed to her overall feelings of sadness, self-loathing, and exhaustion. She needed a way out. Drawing upon her decade in the wellness industry and exploration into the science of grief, Laura Lea began cooking her way through the fog. In Recipes for an Aching Heart, Laura Lea presents the recipes she created, as well as the lifestyle and fitness choices that aided her on her journey out of heartache. By following Laura Lea's story, simple recipes, and advice, you can navigate your own way out of heartache and into a healthier place than ever before.

Clash Books All Things Edible, Random & Odd: Essays on Grief,
Book SynopsisThrough lyrical and intimate personal essays, All Things Edible, Random and Odd delivers a portrait not just of a father who died, but of a daughter who kept living. Sheila Squillante’s heartfelt and humorous essays introduce us to a father—a 1980s businessman and early adopter of the term “foodie”—and a daughter’s complicated grief. It also moves beyond that grief, to embrace the intricacies and delights of how life grows from it. Food remains central throughout the collection with essays that serve up a menu (and sometimes recipes!) of Hawaiian beach seaweed, turtle soup, and fermented Icelandic shark. Nostalgia clashes with reality, through stories connecting memories to taste.With poetic prose, Squillante expresses the complexities of unresolved relationships, the importance of shared experiences, and how family and food make us who we are.Trade Review“This book thrills me, since I pretty much only care about love, grief, and food, and Squillante’s essays super deeply satisfied my craving for understanding more about all three.” —Elisa Albert, Author of Human Blues"Squillante's All Things Edible, Random and Odd is the best book I've ever read about what it means to be a father's daughter. The book embraces all of the complexities of having, and losing, a father who was more present in the experiences he gave his children--particularly the food he served them--than in conversation or engagement with them. It's a book about mourning both what was lost and what never was. A master class in writing sentiment without sentimentality, Squilante's wry voice and trenchant observations guide us on a journey of love, loss, and moving forward." —Sarah Einstein, Pushcart Prize Winner"All Things Edible, Random and Odd is a marbled collection of beauties. Its essays give us recipes for meat ragu and mock turtle soup but also show us how to move through the pangs of adolescence, a variety of heartaches, marriage, motherhood and the dark truths of love. It is, in a word (I can’t help myself): delicious." —Randon Noble, Author of A Harp in the Stars"All Things Edible, Random and Odd is an intimate, redolent story of loss, love, and growing into one’s own imperfect heart. Sheila Squillante’s wonderful memoir offers ladles of aromatic broth from the complex soup of family, marriage, and childbearing. Plus recipes! An amazing book." —Dinty W. Moore, Author of The Mindful Writer“In these stunning poems filled with the weight and hungers of milk, honey, and sensuous blood-pulse, Sheila Squillante deftly slips between exterior and interior spaces of embodiment and intellect, quotidian and sublime, dream and wakefulness. With a painterly eye and an impeccable ear for linguistic sound and phrasing, the keenly-thrumming poems in Beautiful Nerve will rivet you with their quirky precision, and make you swoon with their wild and gorgeous music.” —Lee Ann Roripaugh, Author of Dandarians“Is it possible to resolve the grief—as well as understand the love—of a father who dies too young? In this quietly explosive essay collection, Squillante does just that. At the tender heart of these essays is the role food plays in this relationship, since Squillante inherits her culinary love from her father. Can food be a balm for grief? Can it be the means for the narrator to keep her father 'alive,' to better understand him? As in the best essay collections, this one is voracious as the narrator also explores romantic relationships, motherhood, marriage, family, and the role literature plays in her life. In exquisite detail and with lyrical language, Squillante turns her life into art, as only the very best creative nonfiction writers can.” —Sue William Silverman, Author of How to Survive Death and Other Inconveniences"Confessional and curious, heartfelt and heartrending, Sheila Squillante interrogates family, food, and femininity in essays as wide-ranging in form as they are generous. If Montaigne reincarnated as a Gen Xer in Doc Martens who knew how to make a mean Mock Turtle Soup, we’d have All Things Edible, Random and Odd." —Daniel Nester, Author of How to Be Inappropriate
