Book SynopsisWritten as a series of interconnected essays—with recipes—Relæ provides a rare glimpse into the mind of a top chef, and the opportunity to learn the language of one of the world’s most pioneering and acclaimed restaurants. Chef Christian F. Puglisi opened restaurant Relæ in 2010 on a rough, run-down stretch of one of Copenhagen’s most crime-ridden streets. His goal was simple: to serve impeccable, intelligent, sustainable, and plant-centric food of the highest quality—in a setting that was devoid of the pretention and frills of conventional high-end restaurant dining. Relæ was an immediate hit, and Puglisi’s “to the bone” ethos—which emphasized innovative, substantive cooking over crisp white tablecloths or legions of water-pouring, napkin-folding waiters—became a rallying cry for chefs around the world. Today the Jægersborggade—where Relæ and its more casual sister restaurant, Manfreds, are located—is one of Copenhagen’s most vibrant and exciting streets. And Puglisi continues to excite and surprise diners with his genre-defying, wildly inventive cooking.Relæ is Puglisi’s much-anticipated debut: like his restaurants, the book is honest, unconventional, and challenges our expectations of what a cookbook should be. Rather than focusing on recipes, the core of the book is a series of interconnected “idea essays,” which reveal the ingredients, practical techniques, and philosophies that inform Puglisi’s cooking. Each essay is connected to one (or many) of the dishes he serves, and readers are invited to flip through the book in whatever sequence inspires them—from idea to dish and back to idea again. The result is a deeply personal, utterly unique reading experience.

Book SynopsisSHORTLISTED FOR THE 2023 ANDRE SIMON BEST COOKBOOK AWARD _______________ The BBC Radio 4 Food Programme Books of the Year 2022 The Observer New Review Books of the Year 2022 The Telegraph Top Cookbooks of 2022 The Financial Times Top 5 Cookbooks of 2022 The Week Best food books of 2022 Delicious Magazine Best Cook Books of 2022 _______________ 'Melissa captures her love of food and its roots deliciously' - Ainsley Harriott Motherland is a cookbook that charts the history of the people, influences and ingredients that uniquely united to create the wonderful patchwork cuisine that is Jamaican food today. There are recipes for the classics, like saltfish fritters, curry goat and patties, as well as Melissa’s own twists and family favourites, such as: Oxtail nuggets with pepper sauce mayo Ginger beer prawns Smoky aubergine rundown Sticky rum and tamarind wings Grapefruit cassava cake Guinness punch pie. Running through the recipes are essays charting the origins and evolution of Jamaica’s famous dishes, from the contribution of indigenous Jamaicans, the Redware and Taíno peoples; the impact of the Spanish and British colonisation; the inspiration and cooking techniques brought from West and Central Africa by enslaved men and women; and the influence of Indian and Chinese indentured workers who came to the island. Motherland does not shy away from the brutality of the colonial periods, but takes us on a journey through more than 500 years of history to give context to the beloved island and its cuisine. 'Visually stunning with wonderful writing and recipes, it’s a love song to the people, food and history of Jamaica and is sure to be a classic' Sarah Winman 'A masterful work and a must for any lover of the food of Jamaica and the Caribbean region or simply anyone who loves good food' - Dr Jessica B. HarrisTrade Review‘A beautifully personal love letter to the glorious food of Jamaica, and the people and their history which has shaped it. This fabulous book will keep me very busy’ * Jay Rayner *‘In Motherland, Melissa Thompson gives us a different view of Jamaican cooking: one from the other side of the Atlantic. She gives us a vivid history of the country and of her connections to it. Alongside the mouth-watering recipes, there’s family history and anecdote and a glossary to aid novices. It is a masterful work and a must for any lover of the food of Jamaica and the Caribbean region or simply anyone who loves good food’ * Dr Jessica Harris, author of High on the Hog *‘Melissa captures her love of food and its roots deliciously’ * Ainsley Harriott *‘Recipes that draw you to the kitchen and a story that expands your world’ * Sheila Dillon *'Melissa Thompson’s Motherland is a truly exceptional book, telling the story of Jamaica through its food, which cannot be separated from its history. About this Thompson is direct and — rightly — unsparing, and yet she manages to bring such joy at the same time: this is a true celebration of Jamaican food and Jamaica, not an airbrushed, whitewashed version. I marvel at this book, a beautiful product itself: it manages to combine a matter-of-fact honesty and illuminating attention to detail with such warmth and joy and — this is, after all a cookbook — deep deliciousness' * Nigella Lawson *‘The story of Jamaica, its people and the culinary influences it has absorbed, flows through and around the recipes’ * Diana Henry *‘A beautifully eclectic collection of recipes that reflect the African, Asian, Indigenous and European roots of Jamaican food’ * Delicious Magazine *‘Tracing the history of Jamaican food in a delicious fashion’ * The Glasgow Herald *‘A standout cookbook’ * The Daily Telegraph *

Book Synopsis***THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER*** The Air-Fryer Cookbook UK has 101 delicious, tried-and-tested recipes to help you get the most out of your air-fryer. An air-fryer is the latest kitchen must-have and this is the recipe book to go with it! This nifty, counter-top appliance is similar to an oven, as it bakes and roasts, but the key difference is its heating elements are located at the top and are enhanced by a large, powerful fan. The result is food that’s crisp and delicious in no time and, most notably, it makes the perfect alternative to a deep-fat fryer for anyone adopting a healthier lifestyle. But air-fryers offer plenty of other benefits too: they require practically no heat up time, cook food fast and evenly, can be used away from home (making them popular for camping trips, staycations and student living), plus clean-up is easy too. Nutritionist Jenny Tschiesche has developed 101 tried-and-tested recipes to help you get the very best out of your air-fryer. Her appealing ideas take their inspiration from all styles of world cuisine, and there is something here to suit every occasion, from snacks and sides to complete meals and sweet treats.

Book SynopsisThere is so much to love in MiMi Aye's wonderful Mandalay - Nigella LawsonOne of the Financial Times'' Best Books of 2019One of the Observer''s 20 Best Food Books of 2019A flavour explosionInfluenced by its neighbours and the countries closest to it, Burmese food draws techniques and ingredients from Thailand, India and China but uses flavours of its own to make something subtle, delicious and unique. The food of Burma is little known, but MiMi seeks to change that within these pages, revealing its secrets and providing context to each recipe with stories from her time in Burma and her family's heritage.Beginning with a look at the ingredients that make Burmese food unique as well as suitable alternatives MiMi goes on to discuss the special techniques and equipment needed before delving into chapters such as fritters, rice and noodles, salads, meat and fish and sweet snacks. Within these pages you'll find 100 incredible recipes, enabliTrade ReviewThere is so much to love in MiMi Aye’s wonderful Mandalay: Recipes & Tales from a Burmese Kitchen but, even before I got on to the recipes, I felt that a book that told me that in Burma people greet each other by asking whether they’ve eaten yet, belonged in my life... I am so grateful to Mimi Aye for a really loving and hungry-making introduction to a fascinating cuisine. * Nigella Lawson *Knowing next to nothing about Burmese food, it's a glorious revelation. Autobiography, history and recipes all rolled into one magnificent whole. A brilliant, beguiling book. * Tom Parker Bowles *Real insight into a cuisine I don't know nearly enough about... and a delicious love letter to Burma. * Marina O'Loughlin *A gorgeous book full of narrative and recipes, with an unignorable cover in the brightest of yellows and the deepest of crimsons. It schooled me lightly in a culinary Burma, a country whose food is influenced by its proximity to China, India and Thailand, but which is much more than simply an amalgam of that. For example, the repertoire includes a profoundly developed interest in fritters. Apparently, the Burmese love deep-fried stuff. This is something we can all get behind. -- Jay Rayner * The Guardian *Aye is a gifted recipe writer and opinionated champion of the food of her family... This is a book to read as well as cook from, packed with evocative imagery. * Observer Food Monthly *It’s rare to come across a book that opens up an entirely new cuisine to us and Mandalay does exactly that. Burmese recipes that combine the deliverable with the authentic, written with calm authority leavened with personal touches from an engaging personality. Buy and learn. -- Tim Hayward * Financial Times online *A readable, personal collection of stories and recipes from a country [MiMi] refers to as 'home'... Enlivened with family snaps and beautiful food photography, it's a brilliant introduction to Myanmar's food culture. * Delicious Magazine *MANDALAY is an utterly charming, enlightening collection of food and stories, written with authority and a clear sense of the author rarely seen in the ‘cookbooks by region’ shelves of a bookshop. * The Caterer *Mandalay: Recipes and Tales from a Burmese Kitchen by MiMi Aye offers surprises and inspiration with its accessible recipes. It isn’t intimidating but just pushes culinary boundaries down a tasty road to Mandalay. * Mostly Food and Travel Journal *Held close to one’s chest and handed down along bloodlines, woman-to-woman, recipes carry great weight in Burma... Aye’s account of Burmese food is invitingly personal, interspersed with family photos and stories of travels. It’s also highly educational, with sections devoted to eating and serving customs, staple ingredients and alternatives, and “Why MSG is A-OK.” * nationalpost.com *In her beautiful book Mandalay, MiMi brings fresh flavours right into British homes. * Great British Food Magazine *Table of ContentsIntroduction The Food of Burma Eating & Serving Customs Staple Ingredients & Suitable Alternatives Why MSG is A-OKAY Equipment in the Burmese Kitchen Cover Versions Fritters Salads Soups Rice Noodles Meat Chicken & Eggs Fish & Seafood Vegetables Pickles & Chutneys Condiments, Relishes & Dips Sweet Snacks Secret Weapons Menu Suggestions Guide to Pronunciation Glossary Index Acknowledgements About the Author
