Book Synopsis Cook: Traditional Irish Cooking with Modern Twists by Graham Herterich is structured around the unique way we eat in Ireland, broken up into the five mealtimes of breakfast, lunch, dinner, tea and supper. There is also a chapter dedicated to pork and bacon, inspired by Graham's childhood growing up over the family butcher shop. Graham flips the script on favourites like bacon and cabbage to turn it into cabbage and bacon, while Irish stew gets reimagined as a lamb tagine. Beloved Irish classics such as the ‘mammy salad’, a chicken fillet roll and our classic combo of lasagne, coleslaw and chips all feature alongside modern versions updated with the flavours and ingredients available to us now. Whether it’s a bowl of coddle or a spice bag, Cook shows that traditional and modern Irish cooking isn’t defined by what it is, but rather by what it does: it nurtures us, warms us and makes us who we are.

Flipping through the wisdom within, I found myself wishing I had more almost-forgotten dinners to reimagine.” —Elazar Sontag, restaurant editor, Bon Appetit "If cooking is a basic adult skill, knowing how to make something imaginative out of leftovers is advanced level adulting.

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 *

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
