Book SynopsisFood & Wine editor Ray Isle does for wine what Michael Pollan’s The Omnivore’s Dilemma did for food—showing readers how to choose more delicious, interesting, and environmentally friendly wines without breaking the bank.So much of today’s wine is mass-produced, industrially farmed, corporate-owned, and essentially, ordinary. In The World in a Wineglass, veteran wine writer Ray Isle explains that the way a wine is made, and who made it, can make a huge difference when you drink it—and why that information matters much more than knowing it scored 90 points. Or that it tastes like blueberries. Or “hints of violets and black pepper.” Drawing on his deep knowledge and genuine appreciation of winemaking, Isle takes us on a tour of several hundred independently owned wineries around the world—everywhere from France’s Burgundy to Oregon’s Willamette Valley to the Itata Valley in the southern reaches of Chile—bringing the local vintners to life and describing the different wines they produce in vivid detail. Isle’s enthusiasm for the grape growers and winemakers who are working sustainably or organically shines through as he shares his love for the way a glass of wine can express the place it comes from and capture the essence of the person who made it. Focusing on wines people can afford, rather than $500 rarities, Isle shows us where and how to find the most interesting bottles out there today. Whether you prefer a hearty cabernet, a crisp chardonnay, or something more off the beaten path, Ray Isle’s affable, accessible guide to finding unusual or undiscovered varieties offers a window into a whole new fascinating world for wine lovers everywhere.Trade Review“Isle’s writing is poetic but never precious, and he focuses on vintners as people, showing how their personalities joyfully come through in their wines. For the one-third of Americans who consume wine regularly, Isle offers helpful direction on how to choose bottles thoughtfully.” —Booklist “Isle’s lively guide will help you find delicious, environmentally friendly offerings for the holiday season and beyond.” —People “Ray Isle is not only one of the most knowledgeable guys in the wine world, but he also has the taste and discrimination to steer us towards the very best producers of the Old World and the New World—specifically those who are producing distinctive, value-driven, exciting, and environmentally sensitive wines that transmit their place of origin. This is one of the most useful and elegantly written wine books to come along in years.” —Jay McInerney “With authority and charm, Ray Isle leads readers brilliantly into the world of organic, sustainable, biodynamic, regenerative farming, and also explains what the hell natural wine actually is. This book is for the curious wine drinker looking for both up-and-coming and familiar names in the wine world. I truly enjoyed reading it. Cheers!” —Aldo Sohm, Wine director of Le Bernardin and author of Wine Simple “Worth its weight in vinous gold... Written with Ray’s trademark combination of wit and wisdom, it’s a book for every wine lover’s collection.” —San Francisco Bay Times “A joy of discovery... Isle has pulled off a rare feat in the world of wine writing, presenting a book as relevant for those just getting into wine as it is for connoisseurs. An extremely engaging, thoughtful treatise on how to make every bottle count.” —JancisRobinson.com

Book SynopsisThrow away those measuring tools and let your senses guide the way!Cooking begins with the senses, and nobody knows this better than Bilal Bhatti. Before he became @GoldenGully, Bilal grew up learning to cook by paying close attention to his mother in the kitchen. He quickly realized that in order to cook like her, he'd need to rely on his senses instead of traditional measuring tools. She'd call for a saucer of flour when making roti and a mug of rice when making biryani, using typical household items as a standard for measurement rather than cups and teaspoons.On the surface, Beyond Measure is a book about Pakistani cuisine. But at its heart, this book is for anyone who wants to learn to cook intuitively. This book will encourage you to learn flavor and ingredient profiles, learn basic (and some not so basic) cooking techniques, and then make the dishes your own. Like his mother and grandmother, Bilal encourages his followers not to be afraid of failure in the kitchen, as the commitment to persistence is core to immigrant home cooking.Whether you're looking to create the perfect blend of spices for your chai or to master making roti dough by feel, cooking requires a lot of trial and error. Take your time and enjoy the process.

Book SynopsisFrom the Creator of the Popular Cooking Accounts My Healthy Dish, a Collection of Recipes for Everyone in the Family Ten years ago, My Nguyen—a mother of two with a background in finance and dreams of becoming a dietitian—logged onto Instagram and started posting photos of meals she was making for her family on a regular basis. Her posts attracted more than 30,000 followers in four months, so she decided to give them more of what they were requesting via a blog titled My Healthy Dish. Two years later, she’d hit the one-million mark in followers and has never looked back! On Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube channels, My endorses the idea of a whole, healthy lifestyle while embracing a healthy diet. She posts recipes that are simple, delicious, and nutritious. Her approach of taking the dishes we already love and making them healthier with both beloved and new ingredients makes her recipes attractive to anyone looking to go back to the basics, cook more, and choose real foods over processed ones. In her first cookbook, My Healthy Dish, My presents more than eighty-five new recipes perfect for any family. These recipes are not only healthy, but also easy—great for the busy parent who may not have hours to devote to menu planning each week. Dishes such as stuffed blueberry pancakes, cauliflower tater tots, chicken tortilla soup, orange coconut cream smoothies, and peanut butter and jelly cookies are sure to please every type of eater. With tips related to quality over quantity and organic versus nonorganic, as well as notes on meal prepping and pages of stunning photos, home cooks will surely fall in love with this collection.Trade Review"My's recipes are mouthwatering, beautiful, and so nourishing for your body!

Though Vietnam-born Nguyen has no nutritional credentials, she compensates by providing a shopping basket full of tips, notes, and easy-to-emulate dishes. What’s more, she’s refreshingly forthright about her lifestyle philosophy and her own encounters with food. Readers will be drawn into her life almost instantly as she begins the book with a preface chronicling a day in her life. The book’s real guts are in the recipe pages. All are fairly quick to make in an oven, on the stovetop, in a slow cooker, or via the refrigerator, and although there are no calorie counts, 'healthy' is the key word here, showcased in recipes for carrot leek soup, stuffed quinoa bell peppers, and turkey sloppy joes. Notes, such as 'don’t store tomatoes in the refrigerator because they’ll get mealy and mushy,' accompany almost every recipe. Nguyen is a great spokeswoman for everything in moderation.” —Booklist

Book SynopsisDo you own a microwave? Probably, since it is estimated that over 90% of the nation’s households have one. But did you know that recent research has shown that because of the lack of power that it uses, compared with conventional cooking methods, the microwave works out the cheapest of all the cooking appliances? And with energy costs spiralling to unthinkable levels, it seems that the microwave’s moment has come – and not before time. Because of its energy efficiency isn’t it time to use it every day creatively rather than just warming up leftovers? There are countless dishes that are done beautifully, and completely, in a microwave. Vegetables cook perfectly, losing fewer nutrients than in a pan and fish is generally regarded better done in the microwave than poached or steamed. So with that in mind this collection of both time-honoured and newly created microwave-compatible favourites is here for you to enjoy – they represent years of mid-week and special occasion eating developed by the author for her husband and herself, for the numerous occasions when a speedy dish was required to feed a friend at lunch, and for the many occasions when eating alone. We hope you will enjoy the selection.

Book SynopsisRussell Alford and Patrick Hanlon are fried food aficionados – they are absolutely obsessed with anything that can be put in a deep fryer or a pot full of dripping. They've taken familiar favourites, chipper classics and the flavours we can’t get enough of these days and have created the ultimate version of every recipe, from the perfect chips to spice burgers, corn dogs and Korean fried chicken. Their style is all about fun, casual and approachable food, which is exactly what this book delivers.Trade Review"Ever since I first heard that this book was in the works, I've been in a ferment of excitement. I know that air fryers are extremely popular these days, but I share with the authors here a belief that hot fat (rather than hot air) is where it's at! I bought myself an electric deep-fat fryer as a present in 2020, and it has brought consequent delight. So this most definitely is the book for me. And I just love it, from the glorious cover on. It's a small book, but one which brings huge pleasure: Black Pudding Scotch Eggs; Potato Pave; Korean Fried Chicken; Frickles (fried pickles, natch); Bacon and Cheese Croquettes; and, of course, chips are some of the joys within." - Nigella LawsonTable of ContentsIntroduction; Homemade crisps; Top crisp tips; Ginger beer onion rings; Buffalo frickles; Tempura oysters; Bacon and cheese croquettes with aioli; Sesame prawn toasts; Black pudding Scotch eggs; A short history of the Scotch egg; Lasagne bites; An ode to chips; Our perfect chips; Hash browns; How to freeze hash browns; Potato pave; Fish fillet burgers; How often should I change the oil?; Squid ink and stout battered hake; Corn dogs; Spice burgers; Turkey schnitzel; Buttermilk fried chicken burgers; Buttermilk fried chicken variations; Korean fried chicken; Speedy chicken nuggs; Deliciously dunkable; Spice bag; Apple hand pies; Deep-fried ice cream; Doughnuts; Doughnut fillings

Book SynopsisBorn in Hong Kong but raised in Buncrana, County Donegal, Kwanghi Chan says that his food isn’t fully authentically Chinese, but neither is he. His book, Wok, is the first Irish-Chinese cookbook to be published. The recipes include some of Kwanghi’s favourite meals that he grew up with that kept him in touch with his Asian heritage and the food that he cooks at home now with his family. You’ll also find some of the fusion flavours that Kwanghi loves as well as dishes influenced by his travels to Asia, from the flavours of the street food vendors to refined three-star Cantonese dishes. Broken down into nine sections – dumplings, street food, rice, beef, pork, chicken, seafood, vegetarian and sweet – with three recipes in each section, Kwanghi is sharing his fusion Asian food with a wider Irish audience.Trade Review"Kwanghi Chan cooks the best Sichuan-style aubergines you can eat. He also cooks the best soy-braised five-spice chicken you can eat. Recipes for both of those dishes are in his debut book, Wok, and we can't think of two better reasons as to why you need - need - to have a copy of Wok in your kitchen. Thing is, though, that there is so much more in Wok, and we don't just mean the stupendous recipes. Wok is a story of profound personal resilience and determination, framed in the context of great food. It's the story of a child of divorce who remade himself in a strange country, and who has made himself one of those rare talents known today by his mononym: Kwanghi. You will cook the chicken and the aubergines, and everything else in Wok. And Kwanghi's story will touch your heart." - John and Sally McKenna, McKennas' GuidesTable of ContentsIntroduction; My pantry; My tools; Wok 101; Sichuan-style pork & chive dumplings; Chicken & spring onion potsticker dumplings; Pork & prawn steamed siu mei dumplings; Chicken wings, three ways; Spice bag bao; Chips with tom yum mayo; How to cook rice; Young chow fried rice; Crabmeat fried rice; Prawn & chorizo fried rice; Top tips for stir-fry success; Beef with green peppers & black bean sauce; Stir-fried chilli beef with pak choi; Beef chow mein on crispy egg noodles; ChanChan; Char siu (Chinese barbecue pork); Dan dan noodles; Fried pork chops with lemon sauce; A short history of sweet & sour; Cantonese-style sweet & sour chicken; Soy-braised five-spice chicken; Chicken & spring onion hot pot; Steamed hake with sizzling spring onions & ginger; Salmon teriyaki rice bowls; Scallops with glass noodles; Wok-fried tofu & green beans; Sichuan-style aubergines; How to fry in a wok safely; Fried potato bird nests with stir-fried veg; Chinese sweets; Chilled mango sago soup; Matcha green tea mochi; Banana fritters with rum & raisin ice cream
