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.

Book SynopsisThis is a love story between sugar and spice. Spice is often the party girl, the loud, bold, exuberant element in the mix. There is also another art, more subtle yet equally seductive. Married with sugar, spice can provide a delicate fragrance, hard to put your finger on but one that gives backbone to a dish. It can balance tartness and bring sweetness so you can tone down the sugar. Flavours can be enhanced by a thoughtful addition from the spice cupboard, making chocolate more chocolatey and fruit taste more of itself. Added not in shouts, but in whispers, an intrigue of spice deepens allure. In this book, we explore how to unlock flavours, and how to marry them to make much more than the sum of their parts. Floral and fruity spices pair well with rich fats. Warming spices like ginger and clove play off treacly brown sugar. Anise sweetens, lemony coriander seed brightens and herbaceous notes pick out complexity in chocolate. A suspicion of nutmeg cuts the sweet creaminess of custard for a more rounded tart, and a whisper of cardamom makes inky poached plums jaunty and interesting. Chapters are divided by taste to guide you towards a dessert or bake that is bright and zippy, floral and fragrant, or dark and spicy. Recipes include spice switches so you can be creative and playful with your combinations. For those with an eye to expanding their repertoire, there are helpful spice-matching features and flavour wheels to inspire. A whole world of inviting new flavours awaits.Table of ContentsA whisper of cardamom Sugar & spice: an infatuation History of a sweet love affair Understanding spice Kitchen skills An Ode to Cardamom Sweet & Warming A is for Aniseed Vanilla is Not a Neutral Flirting with Florals Nutty, Earthy, Smoky Sour & Citrusy Some Like It Hot An A-Z of aphrodisiacs Sources & further reading Acknowledgements

Book SynopsisGraham Herterich, aka The Cupcake Bloke, has always been fascinated by taking classic Irish recipes and giving them a modern twist. By classic, he means bakes like soda bread, tarts, porter cake and brack all the way up to modern classics like jambons, cheesecakes and fifteens. In Bake: Traditional Irish Baking with Modern Twists, every recipe for a traditional bake is followed by a fresh new spin using the ingredients available in Ireland now, from advieh to zhug. It may not be an exact update of the recipe - it could be a modern interpretation of the flavour combination or the concept, like a classic coffee and walnut cake reimagined as a coffee and walnut pavlova with coffee poached pears. Food is a powerful link to our past, so writing the book also became a trip down the memory lane of Graham's childhood, teens and early twenties through to the last few years, when he became more confident in his food, flavours, inspirations and textures and realised that baking is more than just an action - it's an invitation to the people you are going to share it with, a symbol of generosity and a gesture of love.Table of ContentsIntroduction; A brief history of Irish baking by Ali Dunworth; The modern landscape of Irish food by Dee Laffan; Everything you need to know but were afraid to ask about baking; Everything you need to know but were afraid to ask about ingredients; Bread and scones; Cakes and bakes; Brack and butter; Desserts and treats; Salt and pepper
