Book SynopsisThe notion that roasting meats, vegetables and seafood takes hours, and can only be done on weekends or special occasions, is debunked in this collection of oven-roasted meals that take 30 minutes or less. Jernej and Maja Zver, founder of the blog Jernej Kitchen, have created a series of dishes that capture all the flavours and tenderness of traditional long-and-slow roasting, but are done in just 30 minutes - thanks to hacks like batch cooking, incorporating some pan-frying into recipes and using smaller cuts of meat that roast faster - so readers can enjoy refined flavours without spending tons of time in the kitchen. Recipes are easy to prepare and require minimal cleanup, making roasts and roasted dishes accessible on hectic weeknights. By roasting ingredients, instead of baking or pan-searing them, audiences will be able to enjoy elevated meals with inspired tasting notes, adding some much-needed variety to their dinner tables. Foodies and home cooks alike will love the complex flavors these recipes yield, and constantly come back to them for new ideas. Try out hearty meat dishes like Red Curry Glazed Pork Chops with Cabbage, Duck Breast with Plums, Oven Roasted Steak with Ginger and Sesame, as well as lighter fish and veggie recipes such as Roasted Mussels with Fennel and Wine and Roasted Cherry Tomato Soup.

Book SynopsisFalafel are deep-fried balls or patties of chickpea or broad beans, with added herbs, spices, onion and garlic and are widely eaten across the Middle East. While the style varies from region to region, they’re usually enjoyed in a wrap or pitta with salad, tahini, pickles and a spicy sauce. Long popular in Britain, particularly among immigrant communities, falafel are now a nationwide staple, and have swiftly become one of our most popular fast foods. It’s not hard to see why: they also fall into that wondrous overlapping category of being crave-worthy and satisfying, as well as nutritious and fairly low in fat. What’s more, they are a brilliant source of protein for those who don’t eat meat. They are rich in fibre and modern falafel are often made with added vegetables, nuts and seeds, lentils, or grains, as are many of the delicious recipes in this book. Try the Fennel & Lemon Scented Falafel or Juicy Brown Rice Faux-lafel. Find Crunchy Sesame Falafel or Falafel Croquettes or enjoy snacks such as tasty Mediterranean Seed Falafel, all packed with good stuff, and very low fat. Whip up a drizzle such as Home-made Tahini Sauce, as the perfect complement your hot, freshly cooked patties. Finally, make tangy quick pickles, crisp herby salads and easy flatbreads so you can serve your freshly cooked falafel with all the trimmings and enjoy it as its best.

Book Synopsis ‘This book is a delightful new addition to a most distinguished company of cooks and writers, bravo Alex.’ — Jeremy Lee Explore the food of France's borderlands with acclaimed chef Alex Jackson in his second cookbook Frontières. This is a book about the cooking of France’s borderlands: from the geographical to the historical, linguistic and metaphorical. In it, Alex Jackson sets out to investigate the cooking of these borderland areas with a view to exploring the similarities between the food on either side of the borders. From the Riviera, where the border has shifted many times but the cooking remains of a delicious whole, to the Occitan valleys of the Italian Alps, the Franco-German cooking of Alsace, and Marseille, one of the most important ports of the Mediterranean, and its historic (and current) links with North Africa. Alex explores how French cuisine has been influenced through history and that many of these dishes are part of a shared tradition of western European and Mediterranean cookery. With over 80 mouth-watering recipes and fascinating introductions to each region, Frontières will take you on a delicious gastronomic journey through France's varied borderlands, adding many interesting dishes to your repertoire along the way.Trade Review‘If you fell in love with food through trips to France you’ll be in heaven. Frontières shows you why you felt that way in the first place. This will stand alongside my favourite books on French cookery, by Richard Olney and Anne Willan. A dream of a book.’ — Diana Henry 'What a clever, fascinating book this is, with Jackson delving into France’s borderlands, taking in everything from the Alps and Alsace to North Africa, the Riviera and the Southwest. These are permeable borders, the recipes often interchangeable with Germany and Tunisia, Italy and Spain. The writing is wonderful, the recipes sublime.’ — Tom Parker Bowles, MailOnline ‘Frontières is an intelligent and articulate research of authentic, tightly regional French recipes, anecdotes and stories. It is a delight. Ironically, poignantly even, in this 21st century, it could have only been compiled and written by an impassioned rosbif.’ — Simon Hopkinson ‘By exploring the overlapping flavours and traditions of the French borderlands Alex Jackson takes you on a fascinating and potent culinary journey. This wonderful and timely book serves as a reminder that good food always reflects a breadth of influence and, like music, art and friendship, it crosses all boundaries. It contains a superb collection of recipes.’ — Rachel Roddy ‘’Tis a joy to read of the pleasures of French cooking which have so inspired and informed cooks for generations. This book is a delightful new addition to a most distinguished company of cooks and writers, bravo Alex.’ — Jeremy Lee
