Book Synopsis "This book is just about food. Nothing flashy, no expensive equipment and gizmos. It’s entirely about flavours and understanding. Food in its entirety is more than about filling your stomach; it’s about stories, history, and those shared moments." – Hasan Semay Grounded and honest (and a little bit sweary), Hasan Semay (a.ka. Big Has) is a bright and talented North-London based chef and YouTube presenter. Having dropped out of school and tried his hand at odd jobs from plumbing to security, Has was accepted onto the prestigious Jamie Oliver "15" programme in 2011 which unearthed a true passion and flair for cooking. HOME is his debut cookbook and a celebration of the dishes, the places and the people that have made him who he is today. Fans of Hasan’s Instagram page and enormously popular YouTube series 'Sunday Sessions' will recognise his ability to make incredible restaurant-quality food available to the masses, teaching his viewers how to appreciate ingredients and understand cooking not through dull step-by-step methods but by connecting more intuitively with the process. In this debut cookbook, Has takes those principles to the next level talking you through the stages of lighting a BBQ and how to prepare a variety of dishes from small plates to Turkish Cypriot classics as well as meat and fish straight off the grill. His food is beautiful and robust with familiar Mediterranean influences from his Cypriot heritage as well as from his time working in professional kitchens across London – think grilled butter-milk chicken thighs with chermoula, flame-licked steak and salsa verde, marinated lamb chops with salsa rossa, all countered by neat folds of glistening home-made pasta and the occasional jaw-dropping dessert. Now don’t think this means flashy, fiddly food – this is real food, treated with respect and cooked right – no tablecloths or fancy china, just your friends, round the BBQ proper Sunday session style, because food is a celebration of coming together. Peppered with anecdotes about working in professional kitchens and the characters and inspiration behind his food, HOME is a refreshing and accessible cookbook from a uniquely bold chef.Trade Review‘Books like this come quite rarely … His ability to cook is phenomenal. Reminds me of my first book’ – Jamie Oliver, BBC The Food Program Big Has: Home is ‘an unfiltered masterclass in the best things in life, namely hero ingredients blasted with searing heat and canny flavours that make life-affirming platefuls.

Book SynopsisWith equal parts of birch wood and passion, we keep the flames alive. We cook all our ingredients over an open fire. Charcoal and smoke are our most powerful tools. No electric griddle, no gas stove only natural heat, soot, ash, smoke and fire. We have chosen these ways to prepare our food as a tribute to the ancient way of cooking. At Ekstedt it is the flames that are superior.' Through his bold flavours at the eponymous Michelin-starred restaurant, Niklas Ekstedt ignites our primal fire-side instincts. His abandonment of modern technology may be a little difficult to replicate in your own kitchen, but his spirit will convince you to get back to basics where you can. The restaurant, Ekstedt, is at the very heart and centre of the book, providing the foundation for Niklas' stories of seasonal, and regional, traditional Swedish cooking. Dishes from the restaurant, and in the pages of this sumptuous book, include braised lamb shoulder with seaweed butter and wildTrade ReviewOfficially Niklas Ekstedt is a chef - and an exceptionally good one - but a better description may be alchemist...

This incredible book delivers the message of both and is pure porn for pyros. -- Paul Henderson * GQ Magazine *[Niklas'] passion is contagious... The results of Ekstedt's prolific research is evident in his recipes. Wild ingredients and ancient techniques are used to create clean and highly finessed plates of food...

Trade ReviewThis will make you into a year-round barbecuer. Just the right amount of information, and absolutely delicious recipes. * Diana Henry *This book is a firecracker; a testament to Helen’s knowledge, experience, curiosity and appetite. But what I love most about Live Fire is that rather than seeing cooking over fire as a specialty subject, or something for special occasions, it reframes it simply, as cooking. * Rachel Roddy *Helen's cooking style is quite extraordinary. I know very few people who can combine that kind of firecracker creativity with the ability to produce dish after dish to make you issue small moans of desire. Her talent for food is, literally and figuratively, on fire. * Sunday Times restaurant critic Marina O'Loughlin *I’ve always thought of Helen as the queen of barbecue but she also has a real ability to tell a story and capture the visual side of anything she writes about. A fantastic book for all lovers of live fire. * Fiona Beckett *It's wonderfully written and full of exceptionally good, user-friendly recipes from all over the world... I am very for women reclaiming the barbecue. * India Knight, The Sunday Times *

Book Synopsis'Without preaching, this argues for eating meat in a better way, sustainably, ethically, intelligently and with an understanding of farming' - Diana Henry, The Daily TelegraphThis book is a celebration of proper meat. Meat as it was before it got messed with. Before animals became a unit of production, but were reared to produce excellent food, and were willingly given an equally excellent life.It explores the connection between nature and farming and the result is a mixture of hands-in-the-earth wisdom and balanced seasonal recipes. Meat is revered and stretched as far as we can make it go by respecting the animal and using every part, cheek to lard, tendon to tail.The recipes are not just meat and two veg, but provide cooking that is devised for the way we live today. Think a modernised version of warming farmhouse food, to suit the weather and our homes. Fast, fresh, surprising dishes for midweek, and slow-cooking or theatre pieces shared with friends for weekends and holidays.Far from countering the vegan spike, this is the definition of fair, honest, sustainable food. This is meat done right.
