    Book SynopsisAs the culinary world fills up with overly complicated recipes and never-ending ingredient lists, Michael Ruhlman blasts through the surplus of information and delivers an innovative and straightforward book that cuts to the core of cooking. Instead of spending time wading through the millions of recipes available in books, magazines, and on the Internet, just remember 1-2-3. That''s the ratio for cookie dough: 1 part sugar, 2 parts fat, and 3 parts flour. Biscuit dough is 3:2:1 or 3 parts flour, 2 parts liquid, 1 part fat. Change the ratio and bread dough becomes pasta dough, cake becomes muffins, and popovers become crepes. Vinaigrette is 3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar, and is one of the most useful sauces imaginable, giving everything from grilled meat to lettuces intense flavor. Distilling dishes to their essence-using a few simple techniques and even fewer ingredients-is what every professional or home cook needs to know. Broken down into thirty-three ratios and suggestionsTrade Review"Cooking, like so many creative endeavors, is defined by relationships. For instance, knowing exactly how much flour to put into a loaf of bread isn't nearly as useful as understanding the relationship between the flour and the water, or fat, or salt. That relationship is defined by a 'ratio,' and having a ratio in hand is like having a secret decoder ring that frees you from the tyranny of recipes. Professional cooks and bakers guard ratios passionately so it wouldn't surprise me a bit if Michael Ruhlman is forced into hiding like a modern-day Prometheus, who in handing us mortals a power better suited to the gods, has changed the balance of kitchen power forever. I for one am grateful. I suspect you will be too." —Alton Brown, author of I'm Just Here for the Food

    Book SynopsisWinner 'Best Arab Cuisine Book' – Gourmand World Cookbook Awards 2016Palestine on a Plate showcases the wide-ranging, vibrant and truly delicious dishes of Palestine, introducing the reader to traditional methods, cooking styles and flavours. Palestinian food is not just about street-food dishes – it is about the home, where families cook and eat together every day in a way that generations before them have always done. In this book celebrated chef Joudie Kalla pays tribute to family, cooking and home by taking inspiration from the rich heritage of Palestinian cooking. Cooked with the ingredients that Joudie’s mother and grandmother use, and their grandmothers before them, experience the flavours of Palestine through: zingy fattet hummus (tangy yogurt, chickpeas and hummus served over toasted pita bread and drizzled in toasted pine nuts and pomegranate seeds); satisfyingly spiced makloubeh (an upside-down spiced rice dish with lamb shoulder and fried aubergines); sticky lemon-infused yalanji (vine leaves stuffed with a herby tabbouleh); and sublimely decadent awameh (honey dumplings). Colourful, stunning photography evoking the vibrancy and romance of the country will bring Palestine into your home and make you fall in love with this wonderful way of cooking and enjoying food.Trade Review"The food of Palestine is mouth-watering and colorful. This treasure-trove of a book shows it at its best." -- Sami Tamimi coauthor of Ottolenghi: The Cookbook and JerusalemJoudie Kalla is an exceptionally talented chef with a deep understanding of tradition and ingredients that enables her to create exciting and adventurous dishes. -- Loyd GrossmanGreat chefs create memories for us by drawing on their reminiscences: The texture, the flavors, the fragrances, the color of these beautiful creations do just that and so much more. -- Nick Crean, owner of chocolatiers PrestatJoudie probably makes the best Palestinian food I ever tasted; I'm a huge fan of hers. Joudie will make you discover the best Palestinian food. -- Tony Kitous, owner of 15 Comptoir Libanais restaurantsI first met Joudie 10 years ago as a frightened young female chef and I watched her grow and develop into the fine outstanding chef she is today. She was definitely a rising star and shining light in my kitchen. She is the foremost expert on Palestinian food and is by far the biggest contributor to making Palestinian cooking the popular cuisine that it is today. -- Ian Pengelley, head chef of Chai Wu, Mango Tree, Gilgamesh, and founder of Eight over Eight and E&O"New voice Joudie Kalla is passionate about Palestine - and a stickler for authenticity" -- Diana Henry * The Daily Telegraph *

    Book Synopsis#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • More than 1.5 million copies sold!Looking for cookbooks with a little more personality? Welcome to tha Boss Dogg's Kitchen. The first cookbook and recipe book from Tha Dogg, From Crook to Cook: Platinum Recipes from Tha Boss Dogg's Kitchen. You've seen Snoop Dogg work his culinary magic on VH1's Emmy-nominated Martha and Snoop's Potluck Dinner Party, and now Tha Dogg's up in your kitchen ... with his first cookbook. Recipe book that delivers 50 recipes straight from Snoop's own collection: Snoop's cookbook features OG soul food cookbook staples like Baked Mac & Cheese Fried Bologna Sandwiches with Chips Shrimp Po’ Boy Plus new takes on classic weeknight faves like Soft Flour Tacos and Easy Orange Chicken. And it don't stop ... Snoop's giving a taste of the high life with remixes on upper echelon fare such as Lobster Thermidor and Filet Mignon. But we gotta keep it G with those favorite munchies too, ya know? From chewy Starbursts to those glorious Frito BBQ Twists, you should have an arsenal of snacks that'll satisfy. And of course, no party is complete without that Gin and Juice and other platinum ways to entertain. CELEBRITY COOKBOOKS: If you're a fan of celebrity books and cookbooks such as Bob's Burgers, Magnolia Table Cookbook, Margaritaville cookbook, Thug Kitchen cookbook, or the Gilmore Girls Eat Like a Gilmore; the Snoop Dogg cookbook has got you covered – complete with epic stories and behind-the-scenes photos that bring his masterpieces to life. SOUL FOOD DONE RIGHT: One thing for sure two things for certain: A Dogg's Gotta Eat. And Tha Boss Dogg is gonna show you how. These recipes are Snoop's personal hits, straight outta his kitchen and never before shared.Trade Review"If the upcoming release of Snoop Dogg’s new cookbook doesn’t get you excited, then we don’t know what will. From running to be an X Factor judge to co-hosting a cooking show with Martha Stewart, the 46-year-old rapper is always full of surprises. Now, the Doggfather is making his contribution to the rap cookbook genre with his new ‘From Crook to Cook’ book, featuring 50 of his all-time favourite recipes including lobster, chicken and ‘snacks to satisfy those munchies’." -- Evening Standard"When Snoop Dogg emerged from Long Beach, California as Dr Dre's prodigy in 1992, spitting out versus to Who Am I? (What's My Name) and cementing himself as a pioneer of West Coast rap, no one in the universe expected we'd be taking his culinary advice a couple of decades later. But it's happened. Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr. is making his debut into the cookbook world with From Crook to Cook: Platinum Recipes from Tha Boss Dogg's Kitchen. The book features 50 recipes which are apparently from Snoop's personal collection, although this won't come as a surprise to anyone who has been paying attention to the rapper's recent movements. The 46-year-old has slowly established himself as one half of a very unlikely double act with Martha Stewart - AKA the American Delia Smith. Their show Potluck Dinner Party was even nominated for an Emmy and as a good friend of the star, Stewart even wrote the foreword in From Crook to Cook." -- Esquire.com"The Last Meal wasn’t Snoop Dogg’s last meal at all. Nearly 20 years after the rapper released his fifth studio album, he’s gone and written a cookbook: From Crook to Cook, published 23 October. ‘From Cook to Crook, Platinum recipes from tha boss Dogg’s kitchen‘ has been eagerly awaited since it was announced earlier this year." -- inews.co.uk"Snoop Dogg is the lifestyle guru we need right now" -- The Quartz"[Martha] Stewart says Snoop has “surprised” her along the way with his unique cooking. He certainly has a unique way with words. “You know it’s blazin’ up in my kitchen,” says Snoop, adding in his introduction: “Like a real seasoned playa, my tastes have evolved over the years. But while I’ve learned how to get down with that top-notch luxury cuisine, I’m still prone to keep it way hood with some of those LBC [Long Beach, California] classics…Trust your big homie. This is the best cookbook ever made.” It’s a big claim for a book which features an entire spread about which cereals are best to eat when you’re high (Lucky Charms and Honey Nut Cheerios, in case you are wondering). There are, however, some pretty good recipes: Snoop’s favourite fried chicken and waffles, apple pie, tacos, mac and cheese, “billionaire’s bacon,” even lobster thermidor. A section dedicated to cocktails contains the original recipe for, what else, gin and juice, inspired by Snoop Dogg’s 1993 song of the same name." -- i newspaper"The rapper Snoop Dogg has a domestic side. First came his TV show with Martha Stewart, now he’s written a cookbook." -- The Times Weekend"Granted, Snoop Dog might not be the first person you think of when it comes to baking, but his new cookbook, ‘From Crook to Cook’, might well leave you surprised!" -- Food Heaven"Snoop Dogg just ventured into the cookbook world with From Crook to Cook: Platinum Recipes From Tha Boss Dogg's Kitchen and we're here for it — gin and juice and all." -- Popsugar"Now that he is on a show with Martha Stewart, it was only natural for the Doggfather to drop his own cookbook, which includes easy food recipes and his own unique take on gin and juice." -- Bravo TV"He has also released his first cookbook 'From Crook to Cook'. 'Platinum recipes from the boss doggs kitchen... the first ever snoop cook book comin soon to @ChronicleBooks,' the 17-time Grammy nominated rapper shared on Instagram and Twitter. The cookbook will feature 50 of Snoop's favorite recipes that includes things like baked mac and cheese, chicken and waffles, soft flour tacos, easy orange chicken and baby back ribs." -- MailOnline"It has pride of place on my cookbook shelf — and not just for the novelty value." -- Harriet Addison, The Times"Complete the Snoop superfan's kitchen with this delicious and hilarious cooking companion. With Snoop's favorite recipes, go-to snacks, pantry essentials, and stories from the star's kitchen, this has everything you need to cook like the Top Dogg." -- Apartment Therapy"None of the recipes required special skills or cooking techniques, and all of them could be perfected without much practice. Which is more that I can say than a lot of other recipes out there these days. Also, I'm all for cookbooks that help people make tasty, homemade versions of their favorite restaurant comfort foods so this gets my stamp of approval!" -- Michelle No, Buzzfeed"World renowned recording artist Snoop Dogg has published his first cookbook, following the success of his food television show with Martha Stewart. The recipes are full of the rapper’s take on everything from mac and cheese to filet mignon." -- BookRiot"We all knew Snoop Dogg could rap, and now we know he can cook, too." -- The Week"From the moment we heard Snoop had put together his own cookbook, we had to get our hands on a copy. Twenty-five years on from his now iconic debut album Doggystyle, we find ourselves perusing a collection of his favourite recipes rather than songs. From Cook to Crook is a genuinely funny look through what the big man likes to eat, with great photos and 50 mouthwatering dishes." -- The Malestrom“I don’t think I’ve read a cookery book with such unfettered joy this year.” -- Tom Tivnan, The Bookseller

    Book SynopsisAlison Roman is known as much for her keeper recipes as her wry Instagram voice and effortless style. Her debut cookbook, Dining In, features 125 recipes for simple, of-the-moment dishes that are full of quickie techniques. (Think slathering roast chicken in anchovy butter, roasting citrus to bring out new flavours, and keeping boiled potatoes in your fridge for instant crispy smashed potatoes). The book's Salted butter chocolate chunk shortbread is Instagram-famous, but in fact all the recipes in this cookbook are just as much a source of inspiration. Roman’s recipes set today’s trends and will show up as tomorrow’s classics: vegetable-forward with quality ingredients, punctuated by standout flavours like hot honey browned butter, preserved lemon, za’atar, and garlicky walnuts. Her ingenuity will seduce seasoned cooks, while her warm, edgy writing makes these recipes practical enough for the novice. Cooking through Dining In is be like having Alison right there with you in the kitchen: brash, funny, and full of opinions.Trade Review"The New York Nigella: Alison Roman's book Dining In has unfussy recipes and brilliant tips to make you a better cook – just like her British counterpart." – Observer Food Monthly "'It's about recipes that are simple to make, great to eat.' She's the cook who's recipes broke the internet." – Grazia "This is not a cookbook. It’s a treasure map. Alison Roman joyously leads you to the promised land of extraordinary home cooking. Into every one of her stunningly beautiful recipes she’s tucked the clues that will invariably lead you to deliciousness: keep it simple, have fun with your food, pack in the flavor, and, most important, share it with the people you love.' – Samin Nosrat, bestselling author of Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat "Roman's book is filled with plenty [of] inventive ideas that would work just as well for a weeknight meal as for a high-stakes dinner party." –Vogue "Drool-worthy yet decidedly unfussy food."– Goop "Some of Roman's greatest hits."– The Cut "Dining In is more than just a long list of super interesting recipes – it's a book that will probably fundamentally change the way I cook. Recipes with unfussy new techniques like her Anchovy-Butter Chicken with Chicken Fat Croutons (with some radishes on the side!) produce ridiculously pleasing results that have inspired me to always take that extra little step. The book is filled with sneaky gems meant to steal the show at dinner parties. Make her Salted Butter & Chocolate Chunk Shortbread for dessert and you'll never be mad again." – Myles Tanzer, The Fader "BA superstar Alison Roman combines expertise with ease. Dining In should make Brooklynesque restaurants around the country nervous. Why would you dine out when you can roast chicken in anchovy butter and toast up croutons in the schmaltzy, umami-tastic butter, or make crispy chickpeas and lamb with greens and garlicky yogurt?"– Bon Appetit ..". you might walk right past this cookbook, with its modest title and quiet design, but take my advice and stop for a closer look... Nearly every recipe I tried was a desert-island dish: blistered green beans with creamy tahini, cumin lamb chops with charred scallions and peanuts, salted butter and chocolate chunk shortbread. Definitely for dining in, as the title suggests, since you'll want your privacy as you're licking every last crumb off your plate." – T. Susan Chang, NPR "Roman's voice is funny and energetic and such a change of pace from the usual short-and-robotic recipe format." – BonAppetit.com "Anyone who wants the aesthetic, quality, and creativity of a Brooklyn restaurant without having to go to a Brooklyn restaurant will love Alison Roman's cookbook. It's filled with recipes that are both unique and approachable. Reading it, you'll find yourself thinking 'I would have never thought of making this but I want to make it right now'."– Buzzfeed "One of the year's best cookbooks." – Joanna Goddard, A Cup of Jo "Very much a reflection of how we eat now." – Mind Body Green "Not your grandmother's all-purpose cookbook." – Food52 "A classic waiting to happen." – Epicurious "Former pastry chef and food editor Alison Roman's first book is a collection of recipes that speak to this moment in modern dining: One-pot dinners, sharable plates, casual desserts. Roman makes clever use of pantry staples and condiments to season and draw flavor out of winter vegetables and slowly simmered stews."– Eater "[Roman's] recipes feature plenty of "it" ingredients, like kimchi, pistachios, and za'atar, but they all make delicious, craveworthy sense. Flipping through Dining In, I wanted to read every word and make every dish; there's not too many cookbooks I can say that about."– Fine Cooking "Designed to make your weeknight dinner more delicious and less fussy."– The Kitchn "Alison Roman, who has cooked in restaurants (Milk Bar, Momofuku) and editorial kitchens (Bon Appetit), reads a little like a contemporary Colwin-in that her voice dances with energy and wit and self-awareness and intelligence. She seems to have little interest in precious cooking, fancy kitchen gadgets or anything that distracts from honest ingredients and foolproof techniques. To read Alison Roman is to feel a kind of instantaneous kinship."– The Atlanta Journal-Constitution "Like your best friend who's a great cook, [Alison Roman] spends a lot of ink up front persuading you that, yes, you can do this, you can cook. And as your best friend, she speaks to you in a conspiratorial tone and keeps things easy. Her recipes rely less on tricky technique than on clever flavor and textural combinations. Everything seems thrown together in a breezy manner, but the genius is evident... Every recipe seems "highly cookable," her catchphrase, and craveable. And any chef who admits she likes black olives from a can "that you can wear on your fingers" is someone we'll follow into that kitchen."– The Chicago Tribune "This isn't one of those pretty cookbooks that sits on a shelf. It's a pretty cookbook filled with winning recipes begging to be made."– The Boston Globe "Fun and approachable, and most likely better than most dishes you'd order eating out."– The San Francisco Chronicle "Alison Roman's cooking is artfully effortless, with flavors that jump off the plate. It's the kind of food you want to eat every day– and now you can." – Adam Rapoport, Editor-in-Chief, Bon Appetit "I am always wondering what Alison Roman is cooking because, without fail, it's just what I want to make (Sour Cream Flatbread! Vinegar-Braised Chicken!). From her relaxed approach to her inventive combinations, Alison's indispensable recipes are easy to prepare and fun to eat and make home the best place to dine." –Julia Turshen, author of Small Victories "Never too fancy, Alison solves the greatest mystery every home cook faces– how to transform thoughtful food into a greater-than-the-sum-of-its-parts one-pan-wonder or next-level crowd-pleasing masterpiece." –Christina Tosi, author of Momofuku Milk Bar "Unpretentious, inspired, invigorating, Alison Roman's voice is exactly what I've been waiting for in cookbooks. Within hours of opening Dining In, the irresistible Anchovy-Butter Chicken was in the oven. Dining In is destined to be a beloved, food-stained, dog-eared Bible for a new generation of cooks." – Stephanie Danler, bestselling author of Sweetbitter "Sorry, restaurants. Superstar Alison Roman has given us recipes so delicious, so meltdown-proof - and so fun to read - we're going to be cooking at home for a while. Quite possibly forever."– Christine Muhlke, Editor at Large, Bon Appetit "Dining In is exactly how I want to cook: with bright, fresh flavors, minimal technique, and no pretense ...This isn't just a bunch of great recipes, but a manifesto on how one original, opinionated home cook sees the world." – Amanda Hesser, Co-Founder, Food52Notable Press & Accolades: Best Cookbooks of 2017– Epicurious Best Cookbooks of 2017 – NPR Best Cookbooks of 2017 – San Francisco Chronicle Best Cookbooks of 2017 – Newsday Best Cookbooks of 2017– Amex Essentials Best Cookbooks of 2017– KCWR's "Good Food" Best Cookbooks of 2017– The Fader "The New York Nigella: Alison Roman's book Dining In has unfussy recipes and brilliant tips to make you a better cook – just like her British counterpart." -- Observer Food Monthly * Observer Food Monthly *"It's about recipes that are simple to make, great to eat.
