Book SynopsisFrom the author of the Fortnum & Mason Debut Food Book of 2019, Summer's Lease looks at the cooking techniques we use instead of heat which, in letting us step away from the stove, lend themselves perfectly to summer eating: breaking, salting, souring and ageing.The long dog days of a tiring summer are no time to be a cook. A few charred sardines are of course a wonderful thing, but there the grill sits, pouring out heat into the already-hot kitchen; anyone with any sense who wants charred sardines is somewhere close to the seaside.... It is a time when you might, if you weren’t so hot, wonder what it means to cook at all. Is there cooking without fire...?We understand that when we say something is cooked, we mean it has been heated; but we also understand that a cook does much more than just cooking. The chopping, the beating, the marinating, the dressing... What cooks do is best defined not by the word “cooking”, but by the

Book SynopsisFeatured in The Independent’s 7 best fermentation books 2020 This book is remarkable. David Zilber, co-author of The Noma Guide to Fermentation Koji: the next fermentation game changer Koji Alchemy is the first book devoted to processes, concepts, and recipes for fermenting foods with koji, the microbe behind the delicious umami flavors of soy sauce, miso, mirin, and so many of the ingredients that underpin Japanese cuisine. Chefs Jeremy Umansky and Rich Shih leaders on the culinary power of this unique ingredient deliver a comprehensive look at modern koji use around the world. Using it to rapidly age charcuterie, cheese, and other ferments, they take the magic of koji to the next level, revolutionising the creation of fermented foods and flavour profiles for both professional and home cooks. Koji Alchemy includes: A foreword by best-selling author Sandor Katz (The Art of Fermentation) Cutting-edge techniques on koji growing and curing Extensive information on equipment and setting up your kitchen More than 35 recipes for sauces, pastes, ferments, and alcohol Trade Review“Koji Alchemy unveils the magical mold that pushes culinary boundaries far beyond Japanese tradition.”—Forbes"[Koji Alchemy] offers next level fermentation fodder. . . . Part biology textbook, part celebration of the fungus, part explanation of flavor, and part recipe book and how-to guide for pastes, sauces, cheeses, brewing, and aging meat."—The Boston Globe“They say a gram of koji contains millions of spores. Shih and Umansky equal that with insights, bringing scientific understanding to koji’s magical powers of transformation (without spoiling any of the magic). Koji Alchemy is an immensely informative read.”—Dan Barber, chef/co-owner, Blue Hill and Blue Hill at Stone Barns; author of The Third Plate“I have always been intrigued by the technical and thoughtful fermentation practices of many cultures. Reading Koji Alchemy has opened my eyes to how simple working with koji can actually be, while remaining incredibly innovative and exciting. This book is not only full of information, it’s scientific, and most of all thrilling. It’s a great reminder that we all have a lot to learn about the art of fermentation.”—Daniel Boulud, chef and restaurateur, Daniel“Before this book, what Jeremy and Rich have done with food I would’ve thought impossible. As someone who has always had a deep love for the curing, brining, aging, and smoking of meat, I would have never thought these time-honored processes could be sped up without producing lesser results. Well, was I ever proven wrong. To take an ingredient like koji, which has been available and used for hundreds of years, and use it to speed up processes like pastrami and still maintain its integrity is truly astonishing. In Koji Alchemy, they show you what to me feels like magic, and guide you through every step so you can now make dishes at home or at your restaurants that would have previously taken not only lots of time but also space. They have opened my mind to koji’s limitless uses and will do the same for you. Jeremy and Rich, thank you for always pushing culinary boundaries and reminding us all that there is something new to learn and be inspired by every day.”—Chef Michael Symon“Science is a very useful resource for understanding food, and, very importantly, it shows us how to make better food. This book succeeds in ‘translating’ the language of science and its practical applications to everyday users. Exploiting and harnessing the effects that microorganisms have on food is a great tool that any cook can add to their repertoire, and Koji Alchemy will show you how. I hope Merriam-Webster adds the word ‘kojify’ to the dictionary soon.”—Francisco Migoya, head chef, Modernist Cuisine“Koji Alchemy is the most in-depth study on the subject that I’ve ever seen. As someone basically starting at zero, I’m inspired to dig in and learn from the masters.”—Jeremy Fox, author of On Vegetables“Rich and Jeremy have dedicated years to researching and experimenting with both traditional and utterly novel uses for koji. With Koji Alchemy, they open their notebooks to the rest of us, sharing their deep knowledge and infectious enthusiasm for this remarkable mold. This book, at once comprehensive and approachable, will prove invaluable to any curious cook looking to make more flavorful food, reduce kitchen waste, or experiment at the frontier of an exciting world of fermentation.”—Dan Souza, editor-in-chief, Cook’s Illustrated“Alchemist, chef, and master charcutier, Jeremy Umansky is the Albert Einstein of koji. Koji Alchemy—his book with Rich Shih, a first-rate koji explorer—is fascinating, hunger-inducing, and the final word on the spore responsible for miso, soy sauce, sake, and so much more.”—Steven Raichlen, host, PBS’s Project Fire and Project Smoke“Like a magician revealing their tricks, Koji Alchemy has lifted the veil on the complex nature of some of the world’s most beloved foods. The authors brilliantly demystify the ‘alchemy,’ giving the reader a straightforward view into the world of koji’s secrets. Never before has a book broken down the building blocks of koji and its products so completely and in such a useful way in the kitchen.”—Kyle Connaughton, chef and owner, SingleThread Farms“Rich and Jeremy have done an amazing job in creating an indispensable manual for both home cooks and pro chefs. Koji Alchemy offers a fresh set of transformative cooking fundamentals and a master class on fermentation.”—Rick Tramonto, executive chef and vice president of culinary operations, Tramonto Cuisine Group“It’s not every day that deeply passionate, creative, and collaborative people take on the demystification of a revered ingredient. But herein lies just that: a truly educational, comprehensive, and delicious exploration of one of the most versatile molds out there. So grateful for this book.”—Cortney Burns, chef; author of Nourish Me Home and coauthor of Bar Tartine“Koji Alchemy will make you want to immediately start experimenting. The fungus behind koji—Aspergillus oryzae—is one of the top three most important transformative organisms in food, and this is the only book devoted to it. Shih and Umansky have put in years of intensive learning and testing of all aspects, both traditional and new, of this magical mold and have generously shared their insights and given us a roadmap to follow.”—Dave Arnold, author of Liquid Intelligence; Museum of Food and Drink“Koji Alchemy is ideally suited to this moment in food history when the nutritive and ecological benefits of fermentation as a means of processing food to greater edibility have become baldly apparent. This is a handbook explaining how the distinctive enzymatic effects of koji, a mold domesticated in Asia in deep antiquity, produce richer flavor (more than just umami), easier digestibility, and more beneficial interactions with gut microbes than other cooking agents. You learn how to grow it, apply it, and think about the possible interactions with different grains and starches. The authors explain how koji performs its transformations in all of the traditional Asian categories of fermented food—the amino pastes, alcohols, meat cures, and pickles—then venture into transformations of eggs and dairy and western foodstuffs. More an invitation to work with koji to blaze creative paths in cooking than orders about how to ferment using Aspergillus oryzae, this book stresses the wonder of this fungus’s ability to give rise to subtle fragrances, comforting tastes, and a feeling of wholesome repleteness in food.”—David S. Shields, Carolina Distinguished Professor, University of South Carolina; chair, Carolina Gold Rice Foundation“Koji Alchemy opens up a whole new world of endless gastronomic possibilities. Koji will be the next great wave for fermentation enthusiasts, and these authors are its heralds. I have watched from the sidelines with great anticipation and am now ready to dive in myself with this book as my guide.”—Ken Albala, professor of history, University of the Pacific“In Koji Alchemy, Umansky and Shih have amassed and arranged koji’s mystifying powers into an easily digestible reference for the whole world to use! Both seasoned veterans in the field of fermentation, they speak to enchanted newcomers and inquisitive professionals with the certain euphoria that Aspergillus oryzae has long-deserved. Koji Alchemy gives praise to past and present traditions, while bringing modern concepts forward. This book, like koji itself, will turn the confounding into commonplace, blandness into flavorsome, emboldening your appetite for more umami.”—Michael Harlan Turkell, author of Acid Trip“Koji Alchemy is about discovery. It is about collaboration with microbes and humans. It is about cultural exchange, and most importantly, it is about making flavor. Jeremy and Rich gracefully navigate this ancient art and its modern renaissance that breaks from tradition, bringing us a complete look at this versatile domesticated fungus.”—Kirsten K. Shockey, coauthor of Miso, Tempeh, Natto and Other Tasty Ferments and Fermented Vegetables“Koji Alchemy is part science experiment, part history book, part love letter to the art and skill of using koji to elevate food both humble and refined. Shih and Umansky make the world of koji accessible to cooks at every level with this in-depth manual that shares their immense knowledge and passion with readers.”—Lee Wolen, chef and partner, Boka and Somerset restaurants“Rich and Jeremy have dedicated their lives to the art of making koji, and it shows very evidently in their work. Koji Alchemy is one of the most comprehensive pieces of literature regarding this amazing mold in the industry today. This book is a tool every kitchen should be using.”—Chef Ryan Poli“In an ever-evolving culinary world, Koji Alchemy will help define the next generation of cooks and eventually become a timeless resource for both those who are beginning their journey and those looking to add and improve on an existing skill set. An ancient technique broken down for the modern age. Old school flavor, new school style.”—Carlo G. Lamagna, chef and owner, Magna Kusina“When I first met and became friends with Jeremy Umansky in 2014, he exposed me to what he had been working on with regard to koji. It was the kind of culinary awakening that opened my eyes to what is possible with food in order to create deliciousness, and this has carried over into everything that I do in the kitchen to this day. I couldn’t be more excited for the knowledge in his and Rich Shih’s beautiful book to be widely available. Koji Alchemy will change you.”—Kevin Sousa, chef and owner, Superior Motors“What an extraordinary book Koji Alchemy is. I leapt headfirst into the section on vinegar, but from there couldn’t resist discovering all the other ways that Shih and Umansky expound on the flavour impact of koji. It’s a book for ingredient geeks, for sure (which I mean as a compliment), but written engagingly enough to appeal to anyone with a serious interest in food. My culinary mind is blown.”—Angela Clutton, author of The Vinegar Cupboard“Koji Alchemy is a great, well-written book that draws you in from the start, equipping readers with the knowledge needed to discover more about this mysterious ingredient. Koji is well-documented as a core ingredient in Japanese cooking, a starting point with plenty more to be discovered. I love that this book demonstrates how its use for imparting and discovering flavour can be continuously explored in all cuisines. Koji Alchemy is the road map that sets you on that journey.”—Yuki Gomi, Yuki’s Kitchen; author of Sushi at Home“Koji Alchemy dissolves the boundaries of traditional koji methods, while still heeding the wisdom and power of cultures who have collaborated with these microbes to develop unparalleled flavors. Put koji on it.”—Lindsay Whiteaker, Harvest Roots Ferments“Koji Alchemy is a vital and timely book. Not only does it go deep into the culture of koji and how we can use it to produce amazing misos and charcuteries, it also includes practical advice on how to integrate this knowledge into your existing kitchen system with an HACCP plan. Koji is about flavour through preservation, and this book goes beyond the everyday to demonstrate the beautiful alchemy that arises when you allow koji into your life.”—Jp McMahon, chef and culinary director, EatGalway Restaurant Group

Book SynopsisMore than 200 straightforward, nutrient-dense, delicious recipes! “This book provides easy, mouthwatering recipes. It offers practical ways to restore your gut to optimum function, and help you and your family take control of your gut health.”—Dr. Joseph Mercola The Heal Your Gut Cookbook was created by Gut and Psychology Syndrome (GAPS) Diet experts Hilary Boynton and Mary G. Brackett to help heal your gut and to manage the illnesses that stem from it. Pioneering British MD Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride provides the book’s Foreword. GAPS addresses disorders, including: ADD/ADHD, autism, addictions, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, stemming from or exacerbated by leaky gut and dysbiosis. It also refers to chronic gut-related physical conditions, including: Celiac disease Rheumatoid arthritis Diabetes type one Crohn’s disease Asthma Eczema Allergies Thyroid disorders and more! An evolution of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, the GAPS Diet will appeal to followers of the Paleo Diet, who are still struggling for optimum health, as well as anyone interested in the health benefits of fermentation or the Weston A. Price approach to nutrition. In The Heal Your Gut Cookbook, readers will learn about the key cooking techniques and ingredients that form the backbone of the GAPS Diet: Working with stocks and broths Soaking nuts and seeds Using coconut Culturing raw dairy The authors offer encouraging, real-life perspectives on the life-changing improvements to the health of their families by following this challenging, but powerful, diet. The GAPS Diet is designed to restore the balance between beneficial and pathogenic intestinal bacteria and seal the gut through the elimination of grains, processed foods, and refined sugars and the carefully sequenced reintroduction of nutrient-dense foods. The Heal Your Gut Cookbook is a must-have if you are following the GAPS Diet, considering the GAPS Diet, or simply looking to improve your digestive health and―by extension―your physical and mental well-being.Trade ReviewLibrary Journal- "Mind the GAPS! GAPS stands for either 'Gut and Psychology Syndrome’ or 'Gut and Physiology Syndrome.’ In either case, the GAPS diet is meant to address mental health and physical issues that arise from “leaky gut” and abnormal stomach bacteria. This combination cookbook and guide provides a road map and tools for those attempting to improve their intestinal biome. Beginning with a strict introductory program that also serves as an allergen screening tool, readers who choose to follow certified holistic health counselor Boynton and Brackett’s program start with a severely limited diet and then add specific food categories every few days for about a month. After this initial period, the authors recommend a less restrictive (but still fairly limiting) diet to be followed for at least two years. Meat, eggs, and coconut products are heavily featured, so cholesterol may be an issue for some. ­VERDICT Not for the fainthearted, this serious dietary regime will nonetheless be embraced by those who feel they have not been helped by other medical solutions. Purchase where there is interest.”“More than half of American children are currently diagnosed with a chronic illness, and much of that statistic can be attributed to a long list of damaging exposures (from antibiotics to GMOs) that have destroyed the health of the American gut. For all the damage we have done to our gut and immune health, there is hope. Healing the gut through nutrient-dense, restorative diets like the GAPS Diet is absolutely foundational to recovery. Recovery is within reach and The Heal Your Gut Cookbook is a terrific companion for that journey.”--Beth Lambert, author, A Compromised Generation: The Epidemic of Chronic Illness in America’s Children, executive director, Epidemic Answers, and executive producer, The Canary Kids Project“The GAPS protocol is a particularly effective antidote to the standard American diet. But GAPS involves a big lifestyle change and a serious commitment to cooking from scratch. This change can be intimidating, even to experienced home cooks. Hilary Boynton's and Mary Brackett's new book makes GAPS accessible to a wide audience, both through its no-nonsense narrative and through its wealth of straightforward, delicious, and healthy recipes. It's as if she is saying, ‘You are not alone . . . and here's what we're having for dinner.’ Anyone following GAPS, or even just thinking about it, will appreciate the recipes and ideas in this book.”--Alex Lewin, author, Real Food Fermentation“I couldn't stop reading Hilary Boynton’s and Mary Brackett's book on the GAPS diet, The Heal Your Gut Cookbook. I found myself famished for the amazing information and guidance they offer on how to improve gut health and ultimately restore optimum immune function. Hilary and Mary do a wonderful job of weaving their own personal and family stories of health redemption together with fantastic, mouth-watering recipes that build on their food philosophy. Moreover, the recipes are easy to follow. I plan to make this book available to my friends and family, so they can all benefit from the important information here.”--David Gumpert, author, Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Food Rights and The Raw Milk Revolution“Hilary is an excellent cook and has mastered the GAPS diet for her family. If you want to try the GAPS diet, this book is a must have. Her recipes are simple, nourishing, and delicious.”--Diana Rodgers, author, Paleo Lunches and Breakfasts on the Go“Hilary Boynton is a wife, mother of five, artist, amazing cook, health coach, and cooking teacher. She, along with Mary Brackett, has created a delectable cookbook, full of recipes that are very flavorful and yummy. The Heal Your Gut Cookbook is sure to be coveted by people on the GAPS diet, as well as people looking for nutrient-dense, healthy, and delicious meals.”--Kristin Canty, director, Farmageddon: The Unseen War on American Family Farms“Hilary Boynton, busy and dedicated mother of five, has teamed with photographer extraordinaire Mary Brackett to create a beautiful book that accurately and elegantly lays out delicious, delightful, and fun recipes for the GAPS diet. No one will be bored again while cooking to heal. The highest kudos to Hilary and Mary: The Heal Your Gut Cookbook is a true gift to all of us!”--Monica Corrado, MA, CNC, traditional food chef, GAPS cooking teacher and certified nutrition consultant“As a homeopath, this is now my recommended go-to guide for my clients and students. Instead of explaining what they ought not to eat, I now direct them to this little masterpiece. It offers freedom from worry and is loaded with satisfying meals. A must-own!”--Joette Calabrese, homeopathic consultant, author, How to Raise a Drug Free Family System“If you feel enslaved to standard food and pharmaceutical remedies, The Heal Your Gut Cookbook provides a comprehensive can-do liberation plan. These pages scream 'freedom to be healthy!' As a farmer servicing wellness-lovers, I yearn for the kind of understanding and participation a recipe roadmap like this can offer. Wellness eaters create wellness landscapes.”--Joel Salatin, Polyface Farm“Over my many years of healing through diet, especially healing the gut through diet, the problem has always been how to make the information and the food readily available to those in need. In the beginning the food was not to be had and the diet plans, recipes, and explanations were not to be found. Over the years this has begun to change. There are ever-expanding farmers markets, small businesses, and cooperative ventures that are filling the food-availability gap. Hilary's and Mary's book is a valuable addition to the question of what to do with the food and why. This book is another small step in my eventual fading away, as I can finally say ‘it’s all out there now. Just follow the advice and wonderful recipes; my work is done.’”--Thomas Cowan, MD, author, The Fourfold Path to Healing, and co-author, The Nourishing Traditions Book of Baby & Child Care“The GAPS diet can change your life; the challenge is how to apply it. Hilary Boynton to the rescue! She is a busy mother of five and lives by the guiding principle of “let your food be your medicine.” Along with photographer Mary Brackett, she has created this beautifully illustrated manual for creating delicious and nutritious GAPS meals. This book provides easy, mouthwatering recipes. It offers practical ways to restore your gut to optimum function, and help you and your family take control of your gut health.”--Dr. Joseph Mercola, founder, Mercola.com“If you think ‘healing diet’ means renunciation of delicious foods, you are in for a surprise. The Heal Your Gut Cookbook shows that you can enjoy every morsel while your body recovers from a lifetime of nutrient deficiencies and processed food. The recipes are delicious and the book beautifully illustrated. It is a wonderful contribution to the literature on the topic.”--Sally Fallon Morell, president, The Weston A. Price Foundation

Book SynopsisWINNER OF THE 2023 JAMES BEARD AWARD FOR BEST BAKING AND DESSERTS BOOK “A joy and an education. Irina Georgescu has disentangled the strands woven into Romanian cooking and identity and she has done so deliciously, through glorious cakes, pies, strudels and doughnuts. Cook, eat, learn.“ – Diana Henry“I am such a huge admirer of Irina Georgescu in general, and of this extraordinarily impressive and important book in particular. A must-have, not just for enquiring bakers but, crucially, for all those interested in the context and evolution of culinary culture.” – Nigella LawsonTava is a meticulously researched baking book celebrating centuries of diversity and overlapping cultures that form today’s cuisine in Romania. The author’s aim is to also share the story of those dishes that have come to represent the identity of different cultural communities across the country. Tava means tray in Romanian, a metaphor for how a whole culinary landscape is presented to the reader. You will find Armenian pakhlava, Saxon plum pies, Swabian poppyseed crescents, Jewish fritters, and Hungarian langoși alongside plăcinte pies, alivenci corn cake, strudels and fruit dumplings. Rice or pearl barley puddings, doughnuts and gingerbread biscuits come with their own story, while chocolate mousses, meringues in custard sauce and coffee ice cream introduce you to the glamour of famous Romanian and Eastern European pastry shops. The book is written with integrity and respect towards this rich heritage connecting the past with a present which can be encountered by the reader when travelling in Romania. The recipes are easy to follow, beautifully photographed, and tempt the reader to embrace the unfamiliar as much as the familiar, while enjoying their comforting and homely feel. Trade ReviewLike all the best cookbooks, Tava is as interested in the history and culture of Romania, as it is in all things sweet and baked. Enlightening, evocative and irresistible. * Tom Parker Bowles *A rare glimpse into a rich and diverse baking culture, this beautiful book is packed full of fascinating stories and recipes I can’t wait to taste. * Felicity Cloake *Romania is not yet well known as a gastronomic destination, but Irina Georgescu's Tava is set to change that. This delightful and unpretentious book tells the story of her culture through comforting food memories and delicious recipes for baking and desserts. * Richard Bertinet *Tava is so accomplished in ambrosial gumption, the words exploding in my head are which should I try first. I love the clarity of sun-filled photography and pretty pastry, and the unexpected layers beneath of '...opium with sugar and spices', walnuts instead of flour, noodles, rum, history, politics, Hungary v. Romania... Belle Epoque in Bucharest. I conclude there are no empty calories where Georgescu's presentation of Romanian and Eastern European confectionery is concerned. Everything is invested with allure and cleverness. Such a beautiful book. * Yemisi Aribisala *What a transporting cookbook Tava is! Here are tempting recipes for Romanian cakes, pastries, biscuits and other treats made using delightful ingredients such as rose petals, chestnuts, walnuts, sour cherries and poppy seeds. Importantly - and evocatively - Irina Georgescu sets the rich tapestry of Romanian baking in a historic and social context, giving readers an insight into what has shaped and influenced Romanian cuisine. * Jenny Linford *I love Irina Georgescu's writing. Carpathia was one of my favourite books of 2020 and Tava is equally exciting: a celebration of Romanian baking that is full of a sense of light and life. Matt Russell's photography is gorgeous. The recipes set me dreaming of strudels and poppy seed crescents and I can't wait to start baking from it. * Bee Wilson *Start reading and you won’t be able to stop. Fascinating as well as delicious... Her writing is eloquent and heartfelt. * Diana Henry’s Autumn 2022 Best Cookbooks, The Telegraph *

Book SynopsisYou can’t really imagine Korea without kimchi. For thousands of years, their fermented vegetables have been absolutely essential at meals. In Korea, kimchi is so much more than food – it is a national cultural treasure, a universal health food and a part of the Korean identity. Koreans are obsessed with good food, and the Lim family is no exception. For two generations, they have retained the proud tradition of kimchi at the Arirang Resturant in Stockholm. This book contains the family’s most popular recipes – common, as well as rarer, kimchi recipes, Korean everyday food and the ever recurring bi-bim-bap (which literally means ‘mixed rice’). The Lim family present their version of a classic with lettuce, cabbage, chilli and ginger, but also the popular radish kimchi, kattugi, as well as the more unusual varieties with pumpkin, oysters, mushrooms, roots and other vegetables. Sourish, hot and tasty, kimchi is a wonderful accessory for most meals, not only Asian-style dishes but every imaginable Western dish. Here are ‘insider’ tips on how to go about fermenting vegetables at home. Considering it is so incredibly simple, the result is amazing, beautiful, tasty and healthy, thanks to the built-in riches of good bacteria cultures found in vegetables.
