This is top of my wish list!' - Good Housekeeping 'Favourite Reads to Gift'When Diana Henry was sixteen she started a menu notebook (an exercise book carefully covered in wrapping paper) in which she wrote up the meals she wanted to cook. She kept this book for years. Putting a menu together is still her favourite part of cooking. Menus aren't just groups of dishes that have to work on a practical level (meals that cooks can manage), they also have to work as a succession of flavours. But what is perhaps most special about them is the way they can create very different moods - menus can take you places, from an afternoon at the seaside in Brittany to a sultry evening eating mezze in Istanbul. They are a way of visiting places you've never seen, revisiting places you love and celebrating particular seasons.How to Eat a Peach contains many of Diana's favourite dishes in menus that will take you through the year and to different parts of the world.Trade ReviewHer writing is incredibly vivid: her anecdotes invite you to sit down at the table with her and taste the flavours she describes. * The Culture Whisperer 'Best Books To Gift' *The perfect book for anyone who loves hosting, How To Eat a Peach is a great reference for how to create amazing lunch and dinner party menus and is filled with Diana Henry's favourite dishes and recipes from around the world. * Lovefood.com ‘Ultimate Food-lovers’ Christmas Gift Guide’ *Diana Henry's How to Eat a Peach is the only book I managed to find time to write about.

Book Synopsis‘I adore Meades’s book . . . I want more of his rule-breaking irreverence in my kitchen’ New York Times‘The Plagiarist in the Kitchen is hilariously grumpy, muttering at us “Don’t you bastards know anything?” You can read it purely for literary pleasure, but Jonathan Meades makes everything sound so delicious that the non-cook will be moved to cook and the bad cook will cook better’ David Hare, GuardianThe Plagiarist in the Kitchen is an anti-cookbook. Best known as a provocative novelist, journalist and film-maker, Jonathan Meades has also been called ‘the best amateur chef in the world’ by Marco Pierre White. His contention here is that anyone who claims to have invented a dish is delusional, dishonestly contributing to the myth of culinary originality.Meades delivers a polemical but highly usable collection of 125 of his favourite recipes, each one an example of the fine art of culinary plagiarism. These are dishes and methods he has hijacked, adapted, improved upon and made his own. Without assuming any special knowledge or skill, the book is full of excellent advice. He tells us why the British never got the hang of garlic. That a purist would never dream of putting cheese in a Gratin Dauphinois. That cooking brains in brown butter cannot be improved upon. And why – despite the advice of Martin Scorsese’s mother – he insists on frying his meatballs.In a world dominated by health fads, food vloggers and over-priced kitchen gadgets, The Plagiarist in the Kitchen is timely reminder that, when it comes to food, it’s almost always better to borrow than to invent.Trade Review ‘I adore Meades’s book . . . I want more of his rule-breaking irreverence in my kitchen’ New York Times ‘You can read it purely for literary pleasure, but Jonathan Meades makes everything sound so delicious that the non-cook will be moved to cook and the bad cook will cook better’ David Hare, Guardian ‘Witty, forthright and full of excellent recipes’ Spectator ‘Meades is one of our most eloquent and excellent iconoclasts . . . Although the prose is as opinionated and elegant as you'd expect, this is a brilliant, magnificently old-fashioned cookbook’ Mail on Sunday ‘Defiant, playful, and possibly punch drunk as ever’ Times Literary Supplement ‘A wonderful cookbook . . . Defiantly and hilariously unprecious, even as it demonstrates on every page the author’s discernment as a gourmet’ Guardian

Book Synopsis'I love everything about this book: its warmth, its down-to-earth voice, and its heavenly recipes' - Nigella Lawson The first book from Scotland's celebrated and award-winning Bad Girl Bakery. Unapologetically generous and indulgent, Jeni Iannetta's cakes, bakes and biscuits have won plaudits ever since the bakery opened in 2017. They have supplied breakfast muffins for the Caledonia Sleeper's First Class customers, and cakes and bakes to National Trust Scotland, but at the heart of the business is their cafe in Black Isle village Muir of Ord. For Jeni, baking is about the occasional indulgence that’s worth it. It's about baking being a process that brings you joy. These aren't recipes with hundreds of steps, requiring loads of specialist kit; it's about baking with the best ingredients, and recipes that celebrate texture and flavour and are inspired by home baking techniques. They are do-able, fast, with simple steps and tricks that yield the tastiest results and look great without hours and hours of work. With chapters including everything from 'Cake for Breakfast' to 'Leftover Cake' (who wouldn't bake extra cake to make themselves a Hot Mess?), via an entire section dedicated to Millionaire's Shortbread, Bad Girl Bakery brings together over 100 of Jeni's best bakes. Recipes include Pimped-up Shortbread; Salted Caramel Crumble Bar; Granola, Berry & Yoghurt Muffins; White Chocolate & Cardamom Sticky Buns; Chocolate Caramel Layer Cake; Vegan Hazelnut Millionaire; Deluxe Coconut Brownies and many many more.
