These elements make for incredible dishes infused with creativity and a sense of place. Emily’s recipes reflect the ebb and flow of daily life during the year; from breakfasts of overnight oats and buttery crumpets to lunches of sea-herb focaccia, and from suppers of Cornish bouillabaisse to desserts of treacle tart and bramble and peach crumble. Each dish evokes something inherently special to Emily and the culinary delights of Cornwall.

Trade ReviewI really enjoyed reading Emily’s book which beautifully conveys her love for Cornwall, cooking and our incredible Cornish produce. It’s packed with dishes that cooks around the country will love to try at home, and through personal recollections, recipes and photographs pays homage to this stunning county that we both call home. * Paul Ainsworth, Chef & Restaurateur, Paul Ainsworth Collection *My new favourite cookbook. * Allan Jenkins, editor, Observer Food Monthly *From the moment you open Emily's book you can smell the sea and the long grass between your fingertips. Emily's food has always given me a sense of home. Of cosying up to my loved ones round an open fire to hearty meals for the family dinner. The smell of the dishes lifts from these very pages and consumes you. Whatever you do, don't read this book when you are hungry. * Ronan Keating, Singer, Songwriter & Presenter *Going through the pages is like sand through your fingers from the Cornish beaches. You can breathe the passion and taste the simplicity of Emily’s ethos and the beautiful sea treasures. I just want to sit on the beach now to eat it all, heaven. * Richard Bertinet, Chef & Baker *I love Emily’s food. It is deeply rooted in the landscapes and ingredients of her Cornish home, and this beautiful collection - of which I want to eat every recipe - celebrates everything from that county's incredible seafood to gorse to seaweed to saffron and beyond. * Mark Diacono, Food writer, Grower & Author *Emily is one of the best chefs out there. I have eaten at her restaurants many times over the last 5 years. She makes a holiday in beloved Cornwall, even greater. Time & Tide encompasses all my favourite things - British fish (of course), cooking veg with the seasons, hedgerow jams, lazy long lunches, recipes you can potter to, seaweed and herbs, beach picnics in all weathers, cosy soups, family feasts, and seaside suppers. What a beautiful, delicious book. Congrats Emily. * Melissa Hemsley, Cookery Writer & Chef *Time & Tide is a thoughtfully curated love letter to Cornwall and cooking. It’s a heartfelt collection of new recipe ideas fuelled by memories of living in one of the world's most gorgeous places. Reading it transported me back to Cornwall. * Lorraine Candy, Award Winning Journalist & Author *Emily's books never fail to make you ravenously hungry and transport you to a calmer, more beautiful world.

Book Synopsis "This book is just about food. Nothing flashy, no expensive equipment and gizmos. It’s entirely about flavours and understanding. Food in its entirety is more than about filling your stomach; it’s about stories, history, and those shared moments." – Hasan Semay Grounded and honest (and a little bit sweary), Hasan Semay (a.ka. Big Has) is a bright and talented North-London based chef and YouTube presenter. Having dropped out of school and tried his hand at odd jobs from plumbing to security, Has was accepted onto the prestigious Jamie Oliver "15" programme in 2011 which unearthed a true passion and flair for cooking. HOME is his debut cookbook and a celebration of the dishes, the places and the people that have made him who he is today. Fans of Hasan’s Instagram page and enormously popular YouTube series 'Sunday Sessions' will recognise his ability to make incredible restaurant-quality food available to the masses, teaching his viewers how to appreciate ingredients and understand cooking not through dull step-by-step methods but by connecting more intuitively with the process. In this debut cookbook, Has takes those principles to the next level talking you through the stages of lighting a BBQ and how to prepare a variety of dishes from small plates to Turkish Cypriot classics as well as meat and fish straight off the grill. His food is beautiful and robust with familiar Mediterranean influences from his Cypriot heritage as well as from his time working in professional kitchens across London – think grilled butter-milk chicken thighs with chermoula, flame-licked steak and salsa verde, marinated lamb chops with salsa rossa, all countered by neat folds of glistening home-made pasta and the occasional jaw-dropping dessert. Now don’t think this means flashy, fiddly food – this is real food, treated with respect and cooked right – no tablecloths or fancy china, just your friends, round the BBQ proper Sunday session style, because food is a celebration of coming together. Peppered with anecdotes about working in professional kitchens and the characters and inspiration behind his food, HOME is a refreshing and accessible cookbook from a uniquely bold chef.Trade Review‘Books like this come quite rarely … His ability to cook is phenomenal. Reminds me of my first book’ – Jamie Oliver, BBC The Food Program Big Has: Home is ‘an unfiltered masterclass in the best things in life, namely hero ingredients blasted with searing heat and canny flavours that make life-affirming platefuls. You’d be mad to miss it.’ – Great British Food Awards 10 Best Cookbooks of 2022 ‘Outrageously delicious, addictive food cooked with big love and attitude’ – Jamie Oliver

Book SynopsisWinner of the André Simon Food Book Award 2020Fortnum & Mason’s Awards, shortlisted in ‘Food Book’ category (2021) "Caroline Eden is an extraordinarily creative and gifted writer. Red Sands captures the sights, tastes and feel of Central Asia so well that when reading this book I was sometimes convinced I was there in person. A wonderful book from start to finish." Peter Frankopan, author of The Silk Roads "Caroline Eden, whose book Black Sea was showered with awards, is on the road again, this time travelling through the heart of Asia. It’s not your usual cookbook, it’s more a travel book with recipes, the recipes acting as postcards which she sends as she meets new characters, most of them involved with food... Eden travels quietly and lets you in on every encounter and every bite. A moving... as well as a fascinating read." Diana Henry, Telegraph "Red Sands follows in the footsteps of Caroline Eden's previous volume Black Sea. Both are pleasures to read, triangulating journalism, literary writing, and cookbookery. The recipes are part of the reporting, and Eden describes them as edible snapshots." Devra First, Boston GlobeRed Sands, the follow-up to Caroline Eden’s multi-award-winning Black Sea, is a reimagining of traditional travel writing using food as the jumping-off point to explore Central Asia. In a quest to better understand this vast heartland of Asia, Caroline navigates a course from the shores of the Caspian Sea to the sun-ripened orchards of the Fergana Valley. A book filled with human stories, forgotten histories and tales of adventure, Caroline is a reliable guide using food as her passport to enter lives, cities and landscapes rarely written about. Lit up by emblematic recipes, Red Sands is an utterly unique book, bringing in universal themes that relate to us all: hope, hunger, longing, love and the joys of eating well on the road. Trade ReviewGripping culinary travels. * New York Times *Caroline Eden takes us through the heart of Asia as she eats sweet winter melons in Uzbekistan, gaudy cream cakes in Kazakhstan and rich lamb and quince plovs in Kyrgyzstan. Every character she meets and every meal she shares leads to a deeper understanding of place and people, every recipe is a postcard from a world few of us know. Beautifully written, quietly personal, generous, rich with detail, I absolutely loved this book. * Diana Henry *Eden's beautifully observed travelogue includes essays on the connections she made and thorough examinations of the food she tried. It is as much a book for the bedside or coffee table as the kitchen counter. She has rightly won awards for her remarkable talent for telling stories that take the reader right to the heart of her experiences. * The Sunday Times Magazine *She is a great writer... If you want to lose yourself, I highly recommend this book. * Sheila Dillon, BBC Radio 4 The Food Programme, 'Cookbooks of 2020' *There is nobody writing about food at the moment who's committed to this level of immersion and it rings out in every line. * Financial Times *Eden writes beautifully, not just about food... but about what it means to live an unchanging way of life in a fast-changing world. * The Sunday Times Culture *A fascinating fusion of travel and food writing. * The Herald *If reading about exotic and colourful lands makes you feel better about not having any proper holidays this year, escape with this book. * The Scotsman *Rich, contemplative, and full of food that will enchant, it reports back from lands you may not be all that familiar with. * Press Association *Caroline Eden's prior work, The Black Sea, was one of the most awarded cookbooks of 2019, a sweeping travelogue told through the lens of food. This book moves east, roughly from the Caspian Sea to the Fergana Valley in Uzbekistan, again telling stories of Eden's travels and histories of the region, studded with recipes. * Stained Page News *Contemplative and full of food that will enchant, it reports back from lands you may not be all that familiar with. * RTE *

Book Synopsis''Gripping and beautiful. A masterpiece.'' Tony Tan, author Tony Tan''s Asian Cooking Class ''One of the best books on spice that I have read ... it will change the way you cook.'' Bhavna Kalra Shivalkar, The Modern Desi Co. We know every Indian family holds delicious secrets in its dabbas. But what if they held even more than we knew? Masala is the Tardis that opens the door to a food multiverse. And Kashmiri-Australian cook and author Sarina Kamini is inviting you inside.For ten years Sarina taught her Kashmiri Hindu family''s kitchen secrets to people of all ages and cooking talents via her masala masterclasses. She was The Spice Mistress to whom spices sang. But the more she taught, the more she realised that masala spoke to everyone ... once they understood its language. What We Call Masala is that code breaker. Learn what white pepper does to pavlova. How to use spices and fats to speak to nervousness or anxiety. Why domestic Ayurveda says good digestion is ensured not just by what we eat, but by how we think. Equal parts storyteller and recipe writer, Sarina deftly ties together Hindu mythology, intimate family moments, and practical (and permissive!) traditional health tips with the types of recipes you never thought you could pull off at home. Real-deal Kashmiri Hindu rogan josh. Made-from-scratch paneer. The simple yellow dal that''s broken one thousand hearts. And a smoky, tangy butter chicken that''ll send your local takeaway to the wall. Through more than 70 spices and fats, and 80-plus recipes, What We Call Masala shows readers that masala is so much more than spice. It offers lessons in both culinary mechanics and magic to any level of cook - from can''t-boil-water to cordon bleu. Evocative words and full-colour photography that literally places you on Indian streets and inside Sarina''s Bengaluru family kitchen makes this captivating hardback both a coffee table must-have, and a beautiful gift for the food lover in your life.
