Book Synopsis Jikoni means ‘kitchen’ in Kiswahili, a word that perfectly captures Ravinder Bhogal’s approach to food. Ravinder was born in Kenya to Indian parents; when she moved to London as a child, the cooking of her new home collided with a heritage that crossed continents. What materialised was a playful approach to the world’s larder, and Ravinder’s recipes do indeed have a rebellious soul. They are lawless concoctions that draw their influences from one tradition and then another – Cauliflower Popcorn with Black Vinegar Dipping Sauce; Spicy Aubergine Salad with Peanuts, Herbs and Jaggery Fox Nuts; Skate with Lime Pickle Brown Butter; Tempura Samphire and Nori; Lamb and Aubergine Fatteh; or utterly irresistible Banana Cake accompanied by Miso Butterscotch and Ovaltine Kulfi. These proudly inauthentic recipes are what you might loosely call ‘immigrant cuisine’, with evocative stories from a past that illustrates the powerful relationship between food, people, place and identity. The tastes and smells of this brazen new world are sophisticated, welcoming, fresh, exciting and bold.Trade ReviewThis book is a total joy -- Nigella LawsonThis is a wonderful mess of a book: inventive, fresh and deliciously irreverent. Duck Rendang and Paneer Gnudi with Saag are at the top of my cooking list -- Yotam Ottolenghi‘Crazily, gloriously, life-affirmingly delicious … homely, warm, kind but inventive (in the best way), rule-bending and thoughtful’ * Diana Henry *Ravinder Bhogal has a brilliant understanding of spicing and pitch perfect taste. Her dishes are the kind that make you sit up and pay attention. She's a true talent -- Jay Rayner * Observer *Ravinder Bhogal is a brilliantly inventive cook, and her book displays the full range of her "lawless spirit", in recipes that deliciously combine her culinary heritage with the new possibilities from a global larde -- Salman RushdieRavinder is one of the freshest, most talented names in the food world now -- Xanthe ClayHer book packs ... exotic-yet-homely flavours * Red *Jikoni’s recipes are eclectic, vibrant and all-embracing … wreathed in stories from Bhogal’s life, from the pickle makers and female vegetable sellers of her childhood to personal essays about her late father * Scotland on Sunday *Ravinder Bhogal puts an immense amount of thought into how she feeds people -- Ella Walker * Herald *In Ravinder's book, you'll find recipes ranging from pina colada pancakes, to lamb Wellington with feta, pine nuts and sumac, but by coincidence, I've become rather fond of poussin (young chicken), one of which is perfect to share between two - or to keep to yourself, if you're very hungry. -- Keith Kendrick * BBC Good Food Magazine *A true gem of a book to feast on * Home & Garden *

Book SynopsisLONGLISTED FOR THE ANDRÉ SIMON AWARD 2021 'Truffle Hound, like a truffle, charms by seducing us' Mark Kurlansky A captivating exploration into the secretive and sensuous world of truffles, the elusive food that has captured hearts, imaginations, and palates worldwide. The scent of one freshly unearthed white truffle in Barolo was all it took to lead Rowan Jacobsen down a rabbit hole into a world of secretive hunts, misty woods, black-market deals, obsessive chefs, quixotic scientists, muddy dogs, maddening smells, and some of the most memorable meals ever created. Truffles attract dreamers, schemers, and sensualists. People spend years training dogs to find them underground. They plant forests of oaks and wait a decade for truffles to appear. They pay £2,170 a pound to possess them. They turn into quivering puddles in their presence. Why? Truffle Hound is the fascinating account of Rowan's quest to find out, a journey that would lead him from Italy to Istria, Hungary, Spain, England, and North America. Both an entertaining odyssey and a manifesto, Truffle Hound demystifies truffles—and then remystifies them, freeing them from their gilded cage and returning them to their roots as a sacred offering from the forest. It helps people understand why they respond so strongly to that crazy smell, shows them there’s more to truffles than they ever imagined, and gives them all the tools they need to take their own truffle love to the next level. Deeply informed, unabashedly passionate, rakishly readable, Truffle Hound will spark Britain’s next great culinary passion.Trade Review[A] pacy travelogue-cum-foodie manual * Spectator *With a dose of romanticism that inevitably comes with truffles, Jacobsen teaches even this jaded truffle-hunter a thing or two. It is less a book about food than an incitement to passion. * John Wright, author of The Forager's Calendar *Rowan Jacobsen’s Truffle Hound, like a truffle, charms by seducing us—with the odd people he calls “post-modern hunter gatherers," and, best of all, the irresistible professional truffle-hunting poodles. He presents a world well worth the visit -- Mark Kurlansky[H]ere are the Winesap, the Pound Sweet, the Maiden’s Blush and Black Twig, rendered in a vivid prose rarely seen outside of the wine list . . . For anyone who’s willing to get swept up in the grand romance of food, this handsome volume will make for seductive reading. * Morning Edition, NPR, on APPLES OF UNCOMMON CHARACTER *One of the most remarkable single-subject books to come along in a while . . . Jacobsen covers oysters in exhaustive detail, but with writing so engaging and sprightly that reading about the briny darlings is almost as compulsive as eating them . . . There may be no more pleasurable food than a raw oyster, there almost certainly is no better guide. * Los Angeles Times on A GEOGRAPHY OF OYSTERS *Written in an accessible style by a hard-core ostreaphile, A Geography of Oysters is a fun read, inviting you to join Jacobsen on his quest for an oyster-rich life. Yes, please! * Washington Post on A GEOGRAPHY OF OYSTERS *I always love a truffle book—and this one is a terrific addition to the oeuvre—but what is special about Truffle Hound is its investigation of many truffles from many places. For all those who think of truffles in binary terms, as in T. melanosporum (black truffles) and T. magnatum (white truffles), Truffle Hound will be a revelation * Eugenia Bone, author of Mycophilia and contributor to Fantastic Fungi (the film and the book) *You don’t have to be a foodie, a forester or a mycologist to enjoy Truffle Hound, it’s that yummy * Buzz Mag *

Book SynopsisThe essential history of bread baking and sourdough’s rise to a global phenomenon.Sourdough bread fueled the labor that built the Egyptian pyramids. The Roman Empire distributed free sourdough loaves to its citizens to maintain political stability.
