Profile Books Ltd Eat Up: Food, Appetite and Eating What You Want
Book SynopsisTOP TEN SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER Think about that first tickle of hunger in your stomach. A moment ago, you could have been thinking about anything, but now it's thickly buttered marmite toast, a frosty scoop of ice cream straight from the tub, some creamy, cheesy scrambled eggs or a fuzzy, perfectly-ripe peach. Eating is one of life's greatest pleasures. Food nourishes our bodies, helps us celebrate our successes (from a wedding cake to a post-night out kebab), cheers us up when we're down, introduces us to new cultures and - when we cook and eat together - connects us with the people we love. In Eat Up, Ruby Tandoh celebrates the fun and pleasure of food, taking a look at everything from gluttons and gourmets in the movies, to the symbolism of food and sex. She will arm you against the fad diets, food crazes and bad science that can make eating guilt-laden and expensive, drawing eating inspiration from influences as diverse as Moonlight, Rihanna and Gemma from TOWIE. Filled with straight-talking, sympathetic advice on everything from mental health to recipe ideas and shopping tips, this is a book that clears away the fog, to help you fall back in love with food.Trade ReviewI read it greedily. Thank you. -- Nigella LawsonEat Up! is brilliant. Thought-provoking, hunger-stoking and so very well written. Buy it. You won't regret it. -- Meera SodhaA wonderful read, whatever you eat. Loved this book for helping me rediscover joy in food when 'new year, new me' diet rhetoric was getting unbearable. -- Reni Eddo-LodgeIf you love food, complications and all, then Ruby's incisive manifesto - to enjoy food for what it is - is for you. * Thomasina Miers *Eat Up! is a joyous manifesto for flavour and sanity. It will give you more nourishment and wellness - not to mention waffles! - than any number of clean eating books. Tandoh takes in everything from Nepalese chicken dumplings to the science of taste; from blackberrying to the films of Alfred Hitchcock. Ruby Tandoh has written a genre-busting antidote to food-anxiety. You come away from it feeling braver and determined to eat with more freedom and gusto. I loved it. * Bee Wilson *I not only ate it up, I devoured it! A salutary reminder that food is about nourishment in all its senses - thank you Ruby for putting the pleasure back into eating. -- Helen Goh, co-author of Sweet (with Yotam Ottolenghi)Ruby Tandoh has written a hand grenade of a book. What I love most about Eat Up is all of the books that it isn't. It isn't a recipe collection full of soft-focus food pornography, the author lifting something glistening to her perfect lips, alone in an immaculate kitchen. It isn't a manual for how to save your soul by way of micronutrient-inflected mortification of the flesh. It is not a memoir of one young woman's emotional journey, served rare with a side of gawking and a comforting, sweet finish. Like Tandoh, it refuses to be anything but what it is: a strange, special, occasionally repetitive book that is somehow so much more than it was meant to be ... she takes graceful aim at the cult of wellness, front-loads the economics of food poverty and provides a recipe for a can of fizzy pop, cold from the fridge ... Eat Up is part-Delia Smith, part-Irvine Welsh. -- Laurie Penny * New Statesman *Ruby's writing in Eat Up! is moreish. Her third book is witty, thoughtful, epigrammatic, sometimes scholarly and always passionate ... Eat Up!'s mission is to replace our collective nervousness about food with guilt-free appreciation -- Andrew Billen * Times *Eat Up is really, really, really good -- Dolly Alderton * The High Low Podcast *Tandoh takes the reader on an optimistic, witty, inclusive ride through our relationship with food ... she is at her best when she is giddy with the joy of cooking ... a warm, reassuring book [and] a defiantly upbeat read -- Lisa Markwell * The i Paper *Tandoh has built up a body of food writing that is as incisive about the relationship between eating disorders and health culture as it is on the undervalued appeal of food memoirs -- Charlie Hiller * Food and Wine *A passionate, common-sense manifesto that celebrates food in all its guises, and debunks damaging ideas * Olive Magazine *Tandoh examines knotty issues with both gravity and humour, her enthusiasm for the pleasure of eating - sun-warmed Essex blackberries or a perfectly composed Burger King - running through each chapter like the lettering on a stick of seaside rock. Eat Up is a timely reminder that food is something to savour. * Observer *Ruby Tandoh's manifesto for ditching the guilt and putting the pleasure back into eating * Glamour *

Atlantic Books Stuffed: A History of Good Food and Hard Times in
Book Synopsis'Delicious... Wonderful' Guardian'Fascinating... Full of incident and food for thought' Mail on Sunday'Delightful... Vogler offers up a feast of tales about popular British foods' Financial TimesA SUNDAY TIMES BOOK OF THE YEARA WATERSTONES BEST FOOD & DRINK BOOK OF 2023The fascinating history of the people, the ideas and the dishes that have fed - and starved - the nation, by the author of the Sunday Times bestselling Scoff.In times of plenty, we stuff ourselves. When the food runs out, we're stuffed too. How have people in the British Isles shared the riches from our fields, dairies, kitchens and seas, as well as those from around the world? And when the cupboard is bare, who steps up to the plate to feed the nation's hungry children, soldiers at war or families in crisis?Stuffed tells the stories of the food and drink at the centre of social upheavals from prehistory to the present: the medieval inns boosted by the plague; the Enclosures that finished off the celebratory roast goose; the Victorian chemist searching for unadulterated mustard; the post-war supermarkets luring customers with strawberries. Drawing on cookbooks, literature and social records, Pen Vogler reveals how these turning points have led to today's extremes of plenty and want: roast beef and food banks; allotment-fresh vegetables and ultra-processed fillers.It is a tale of feast and famine, and of the traditions, the ideas and the laws which have fed - or starved - the nation, but also of the yeasty magic of bread and ale, the thrill of sugary treats, the pies and puddings that punctuate the year, and why the British would give anything - even North America - for a nice cup of tea.Trade ReviewA fact-stuffed romp through our edible history... Impressively wide-ranging... [Vogler] relishes the moments where the past crashes up against the present. * The Times *A banquet of fascinating titbits, deep research and intellectual nourishment... Stuffed is dusted, metaphorically speaking, all over with icing sugar: a delicious and tempting thing. -- Rachel Cooke * Observer *Fascinating... A scholarly and imaginative book full of incident and food for thought * Mail on Sunday *Delightful... Vogler offers up a feast of tales about popular British foods, ranging from potatoes to kippers and ale. -- Gillian Tett * Financial Times *Delicious... [Vogler] is excellent, as in her 2020 book Scoff, at foraging among the sources to bring us wonderful stories of older food cultures. * Guardian *In this provocative history of British food, Pen Vogler goes back 400 years to lay the blame for our absurd modern eating habits. * Sunday Times *Engaging... Vogler shows how ongoing - and vital - the battle is to eat well... Deeply researched and great fun. It might make you think twice about what you eat, too. * Evening Standard *There is so much to enjoy in Stuffed... Vogler is a hands-on historian for whom the past is right there in the kitchen, the supermarket and the everyday ingredient. In Stuffed, her delight in the taste and craft of food-making, its stories and its skills is irresistibly palpable. * Literary Review *Vogler's book is divided into the histories of different foods - each telling of supply and demand falling into the right or wrong hands. The stories span pre-Enclosure times to the recent pandemic. They are deeply unsettling and anger-provoking, and it's a book that those who have influence over what we eat should read. -- Rose Prince * Spectator *Persuasive... This clever and informative account confirms that we are indeed what we eat, and that our history is a product of it too. * New Statesman *Eating and feeding are the central projects of all human societies and Stuffed reveals that they are the very best lenses through which to understand our shared history. This is an extraordinary book about food, health and power; meticulously scholarly and extremely funny; as important as it is entertaining. Crucially it slices through the contemporary and historical politics of state versus individual responsibility: eating well is our responsibility, but it is the responsibility of the state to ensure we have that ability. And the book furnishes some ability itself with a series of recipes so that you can dine like a 17th central nobleman or a medieval peasant and feel a little more connected to the story of why we eat what we eat. Shot through with wit and humanity Stuffed is an all-consuming read. -- Chris van Tulleken, author of Ultra-Processed PeopleThoughtful, thought-provoking and full of fascinating detail (and intriguing recipes), this is a timely reminder we should never take our food for granted. -- Felicity CloakePen Vogler's Stuffed may tackle the question of hunger, but it is a generous and irresistible feast of a book. Spanning more than one thousand years of history, and focussing on 26 staple foods, Stuffed details the complex forces that determine diet, making clearer than ever that what we feed ourselves, our families and our communities is socially and politically shaped, and it always has been. -- Polly RussellAn ambitious book, leaping merrily from the Neolithic to the modern day... A wry sense of humour keeps it light, widening the appeal beyond food-history devotees, and modernised recipes are cleverly used to illustrate Vogler's points... A fun read and an illuminating look at food inequality - and responsibility - in the past. -- Annie Gray * BBC History Magazine *This culinary history of Britain looks at the foods that sustained, nourished or delighted its inhabitants in times of plenty and hardship... Pen Vogler is warm, wise company throughout * History Revealed, 'Book of the Month' *Serves up a veritable smorgasbord of delicious tidbits as it charts the history of our island through the contents of its dinner plates * Buzz Magazine *This mouthwatering, kaleidoscopic history is infused with a light, informative tone and is convincingly argued... Meticulously researched, spiced with penetrating analysis and rich in colourful detail, Stuffed is a sparkling banquet. * Business Post *Informative, enraging and entertaining in equal measure * Choice Magazine *Packed with facts - fascinating, illuminating, sometimes funny and at times shocking - about the history of food and society...

HarperCollins Publishers Veggiestan: The ten-year anniversary edition
Book SynopsisVeggiestan, ‘the land of vegetables’ refers to the Middle Eastern region that merits such a name; a region that is bubbling, simmering and bursting with vegetarian traditions and recipes – much like this book. Sally Butcher runs the acclaimed Persian food store and restaurant Persepolis in Peckham, London. Her first book, Persia in Peckham, was published to critical acclaim and shortlisted for the 2008 Andrew Simon Award. It was selected by the Sunday Times as their cookery book of the year. Since then Sally has gone on to write Veggiestan, Snackistan, Salmagundi and Persepolis. Perhaps best known for Veggiestan, one of the first books to delve into cooking vegetarian Middle Eastern food, a topic that has only grown in popularity since 2011, much of it down to the visibility Ottolenghi has given the subject in recent years. *Please note that this anniversary edition is new format only – all content remains unchanged from the 2011 first edition.*Trade ReviewPraise for Veggiestan: ‘Had us salivating … Butcher writes like a dream, really know hers Middle Eastern foodstuffs and offers enticing recipes.
