Book SynopsisFirst published in 1977, The Ballymaloe Cookbook espouses a food philosophy rare for its time, but now so prevalent that this revised and updated edition shows just what an impact Myrtle Allen has made.With classic, simple recipes, The Ballymaloe Cookbook is the ultimate kitchen cookery manual, packed with priceless tips from a true master chef, such as how to get a carrot to taste like a carrot' and how not to drown a fresh fish'!Myrtle's charming food writing contains a world of wisdom that reveals a woman of great foresight, and not only where food is concerned. It is an elegant tribute to an authentic and sustainable way of life to which many of us are now seeking to return.This new edition of The Ballymaloe Cookbook marks both Myrtle's ninetieth birthday and fifty years of her award-winning, internationally renowned restaurant at Ballymaloe House. Containing many new recipes, the book is a celebration of modern Irish cooking at its best.It isn't just a collection of recipes but a reflection of a genuine and authentic way of life, related to the land, the culture and the produce of the country in which Myrtle Allen lives' Financial TimesIt's so hard not to fall back on the clichés when thinking about Myrtle Allen: the farmer's wife whose pioneering spirit changed the face of Irish cuisine; the matriarch who championed locally sourced, seasonal, sustainably harvested produce at a time when such things were unheard of; someone who was handwriting daily changing menus before the world of trendy restaurants caught up.My memories of Myrtle Allen's Ballymaloe serve only to reinforce the clichés, I'm afraid: walled gardens and edible flowers, soda bread and best-butter heaven, chicken liver pâté and wild garlic soup, wandering-around chickens and seawater-fresh air.Staying at and dining in Myrtle's hotel allows for that very rare moment when you pause for a minute, take it all in and, all of a sudden, everything seems very okay with the world.'Yotam Ottolenghi''This lavish, informative cookbook is an important cultural and culinary milestone in the history of Irish food.'' Social & Personal''This is probably the only Ballymaloe book I didn't have so I was delighted to receive a gift of it over the weekend just past. The original is an institution. Now it has some new recipes, photographs and durable bound cover. I love it and I know that the Ballymaloe Cookbook is going to be gathering splashes and splatters happily in my kitchen for many years to come.'' - Wholesome Ireland''A revised and updated version of The Ballymaloe Cookbook has just been released to celebrate 50 years of the Ballymaloe restaurant and the recipes are just as relevant now as they were back then. Add it to your kitchen shelf'' - Woman''s Way''Now with a modern design and updated new recipes, it remains current, fresh and accessible. With mouthwatering images and easy-to-read steps, this is a must-have cookbook for every person who considers themselves a bit of a foodie.'' - MummyPages.ie

The long-awaited new book in the phenomenal 1,000 . . . Before You Die series, it's the marriage of an irresistible subject with the perfect writer, Mimi Sheratonaward-winning cookbook author, grande dame of food journalism, and former restaurant critic for The New York Times. 1,000 Foods fully delivers on the promise of its title, selecting from the best cuisines around the world (French, Italian, Chinese, of course, but also Senegalese, Lebanese, Mongolian, Peruvian, and many more)the tastes, ingredients, dishes, and restaurants that every reader should experience and dream about, whether it's dinner at Chicago's Alinea or the perfect empanada. In more than 1,000 pages and over 550 full-color photogTrade Review “Mimi Sheraton was one of the few critics or writers on food who, had she expressed displeasure with me, would have caused me to consider quitting the business. As a chef, I feared and respected her. As a writer and observer and enthusiast—as someone who travels largely on his stomach—I can tell you that what Mimi doesn't know is hardly worth knowing. This fat, comprehensive guide to the 1,000 foods to eat before dying is just that: 1,000 foods you NEED to try, urgently. Read ... and seek.” —Anthony Bourdain, author, host, enthusiast "Her voluminous guidebook is an alphabetical cornucopia of food types and sources..." —The New York Times "From abalone to za’tar, Zingermans to Achatz, and lampascioni to lasagna, Mimi Sheraton has scoured the world—both cerebral and physical—to discover the most delicious and thoughtful comestibles. Her taste is intuitive, her curiosity insatiable, and the breadth of her knowledge, research, and experience is encyclopedic. A perfect book for expert and neophyte, it’s the definitive roadmap to gustatory revelations, wherever you are." —Mario Batali, chef, author, restaurateur, philanthropist “If you love food, this is a book to read before you die! Mimi Sheraton’s knowledge of the world’s foods is legendary, as is the sharpness of her opinions. On nearly every page of 1,000 Foods to Eat Before You Die I’ve learned something new or honed my own judgment on hers. And with its links to sources and resources all over the world, I'll be dining in and out on it for years to come.” —Harold McGee, author of On Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the Kitchen and Keys to Good Cooking: A Guide to Making the Best of Food and Recipes “There is no one more authoritative than Mimi Sheraton to help you discover 1,000 Foods to Eat Before You Die. And that’s because she has actually eaten each and every one of them with gusto, and with one of the world’s most discerning and educated palates. This book may just become my go-to source for new menu ideas at our restaurants!” —Danny Meyer, restaurateur and author of Setting the Table: The Transforming Power of Hospitality in Business “Informative, evocative, and entertaining. It’s a pleasure to check off the foods you’ve eaten and to plan to try the ones you haven’t yet enjoyed.” —Marcus Samuelsson, cookbook author, chef, owner of Red Rooster Harlem “Few people in the world have the experience that Mimi Sheraton brings to the subject of food. I’ll be spending the rest of my days knocking off dish by dish in 1,000 Foods to Eat Before You Die.” —Bobby Flay, chef, restaurateur “We are forever grateful to the incomparable Mimi Sheraton for her knowledge and certainty as a journalist and critic.” —Thomas Keller, chef/proprietor of The French Laundry “I’m in awe of Mimi’s ability to compile such a beautiful and insightful book, again proving why she is one of the most important food writers of our time. This book is a gift to all food lovers, a thorough, delicious guide on the best dishes and ingredients around the globe.” —Daniel Humm, chef/owner, Eleven Madison Park and The NoMad “Who else would you trust on topics ranging from English jellied eel to hokey pokey ice cream from New Zealand and everything in between? Only the well seasoned Mimi Sheraton.” —Grant Achatz, chef/co-owner Alinea, Next, the Aviary “Mimi Sheraton has always reminded us that eating is an activity as much of the imagination as of the palate and the tongue. In 1,000 Foods to Eat Before You Die, she reaps the rich harvest of her prodigious gifts of endless curiosity, lightly worn knowledge, and elegance of style. She has provided us with a feast to be tasted and savored with the greatest pleasure.” —Mary Gordon, author of The Liar’s Wife and Final Payments “Gargantuan in its appetite and encyclopedic in its scope, this is the most comprehensive book ever written on the great foods of the world. The book every food writer dreams of writing. A tour de force.” —Steven Raichlen, author of the Barbecue! Bible cookbooks and host of Primal Grill “Mimi Sheraton has written the definitive international guide for food lovers. Each page is filled with culinary treasures and surprises, presented in an engaging and entertaining manner. Reading and dining pleasure awaits you!” —Drew Nieporent, restaurateur, Tribeca Grill, Nobu, Bâtard "This book reads like a map to many of the great food experiences the world has to offer. A valuable addition to any food library.” —Eric Ripert, chef, Le Bernardin, author Avec Eric: A Culinary Journey with Eric Ripert "To this non-foodie, 1,000 Foods to Eat Before You Die was a revelation—perhaps the most useful travel guide on my shelf. I'm heading to Marrakesh for tagine right now." —Andrew McCarthy, travel writer, actor, director "Mimi Sheraton is a national treasure. Her knowledge of food can't be beat—if anyone knows the 1,000 foods of a lifetime, it's Mimi." —Daniel Boulud, chef, Restaurant Daniel, New York City “An epic to-do list, compiled over a lifetime of eating and traveling.” —Eater.com

Book SynopsisWinner, James Beard Award for Best Book of the Year, International (2017) Winner, IACP Award for Best Cookbook of the Year in Culinary Travel (2017) Named a Best Cookbook of the Year by The Boston Globe, Food & Wine, The Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, The New York Times Book Review, The San Francisco Chronicle, USA Today, and The Wall Street Journal “A reason to celebrate . . . a fascinating culinary excursion.” —The New York Times Though the countries in the Persian culinary region are home to diverse religions, cultures, languages, and politics, they are linked by beguiling food traditions and a love for the fresh and the tart. Color and spark come from ripe red pomegranates, golden saffron threads, and the fresh herbs served at every meal. Grilled kebabs, barbari breads, pilafs, and brightly colored condiments are everyday fare, as are rich soup-stews called ash and alluring sweets like rose water pudding and date-nut halvah. Our ambassador to this tasty world is the incomparable Naomi Duguid, who for more than 20 years has been bringing us exceptional recipes and mesmerizing tales from regions seemingly beyond our reach. More than 125 recipes, framed with stories and photographs of people and places, introduce us to a culinary paradise where ancient legends and ruins rub shoulders with new beginnings—where a wealth of history and culinary traditions makes it a compelling place to read about for cooks and travelers and for anyone hankering to experience the food of a wider world.Trade Review"For an introduction to Persian cuisine, pick up Naomi Duguid's new cookbook. Through rich storytelling and recipes from her travels, Duguid explores the culinary heritage that unites Iran, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Kurdistan." -Food Wine "Brilliant. . . . One of the most excitingly accessible books of the season, combining nuanced diasporic traditions, straightforward recipes and easy-to-find ingredients." -USA Today "In lieu of a Persian grandmother . . . any eager cook will be well-served by Naomi Duguid, the globe-trotting author of Taste of Persia. . . . Too many Persian cookbooks c an be overly technical; they miss the soul of the thing. With one foot in the old world and one in the new, Ms. Duguid does a beautiful job of translating complex concoctions into accurate, easy-to-follow recipes that reflect not just the flavors but the spirit of the countries that once made up the Persian Empire. -The Wall Street Journal "For years [Naomi Duguid] has been writing deep-dive books with a photographic National Geographic bent and recipes that work. Taste of Persia . . . [is] particularly timely. Duguid captures dishes that reflect history and culture while being simply what's on the table." -The Los Angeles Times, Our Favorite Cookbooks of Fall 2016 "While the recipes are appetizing and approachable, this book is about more than cooking-it's about better understanding a region and its people. Now, more than ever, books like Duguid's make for vital reading." -The San Francisco Chronicle, Our Favorite Cookbooks from 2016 "A fascinating culinary excursion. . . . Taste of Persia opens with a map, which illustrates Ms. Duguid's wise observation that regional cooking doesn't respect borders. So the search for Persian cuisine includes stops in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Iran and Kurdistan. We are seduced from the start with the flavors of the region: saffron (most of the world's supply comes from this part of the world), mint, dill, parsley, cilantro, dried rose petals, sumac, lime, pomegranate and honey. Cinnamon, cardamom and other sweet spices weave their way through savory and sweet dishes. Ms. Duguid's discoveries on these intrepid travels are shared in stories and pictures, along with an abundance of recipes." -The New York Times, The Best Cookbooks of Fall 2016 "Gorgeous and useful." -The Seattle Times "Intensely fragrant foods and evocative travel writing. . . .

Then, of course, there are the intriguing, detailed recipes she collects. It's more than armchair travel-you become immersed in the culinary culture of a faraway part of the world. Taste of Persia, Duguid's latest, is a glorious trip through these five countries that once were part of the Persian empire." -BookPage, Top Pick in Cookbooks "A brilliant and beautiful book." -Montreal Gazette "This book is not singularly about 'Persian food.' It is about a culinary region and culture, about transcending borders, about contextualizing a rich, edible heritage. . . . Though Duguid tested recipes over and over again in her kitchen in Toronto, the recipes rightfully belong to the women she met during her travels. The book celebrates unsung food artists who have shared their cooking practices and recipes through centuries of oral tradition and culture. . . . Sometimes it takes an outsider who has a different perspective, to look at a region with appreciation and talk about the historical ties and culinary links." -The Globe Mail "For an introduction to Persian cuisine, pick up Naomi Duguid's new cookbook.

Book Synopsis2019 James Beard Award FinalistNamed a Best Cookbook of the Year by The New Yorker, Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, New York Times Book Review, Houston Chronicle, Food52, PopSugar, and more To eat—and cook—like a Filipino involves puckeringly sour adobos with meat so tender you can cut it with a fork, national favorites like kare kare (oxtail stew) and kinilaw (fresh seafood cured in vinegar), Chinese-influenced pansit (noodles), tamales by way of early Mexican immigrants, and Arab-inflected fare, with its layered spicy stews and flavors of burnt coconut. But it also entails beloved street snacks like ukoy (fritters) and empanadas and the array of sweets and treats called meryenda. Dishes reflect the influence and ingredients of the Spaniards and Americans, among others, who came to the islands, but Filipinos turned the food into their own unique and captivating cuisine. Filled with riotously bold and bright photographs, I Am a Filipino is like a classic kamayan dinner—one long festive table piled high with food. Just dig in!Trade Review"Extraordinary. . . .

Book SynopsisBarbecue was invented in France? So says renowned cookbook author Susan Herrmann Loomis. When the Gauls were racing through lush forests in what is now Brittany, Normandy and the Loire Valley, hunting wild boar, deer and rabbit, they’d return to the village, build a fire and split their prize from barbe a queue (head to tail) for roasting. Today, the French are still great barbecuers, though over the centuries they’ve refined their skills and borrowed methods from other cuisines: the grill from the US, the plancha from Spain, the mechoui from North Africa. Recipes include: Pork Burgers with Foie Gras, Steak Tenderloin with Smoky Olives, Choucroute from the Grill and Poires Belle Hélene. French Grill features dishes for every occasion using ingredients that any American cook can easily find, tips on how to buy the best ingredients and French grilling anecdotes throughout.

Book Synopsis Despite a successful career in retail, Alistair ‘JD’ Jeje always had a nagging feeling that there was something else he should be doing. It was only when everything ground to a halt during the pandemic and he had time to sit down and really think about what comes naturally to him, that he does with the least amount of effort, that it hit him.    That thing that makes JD tick? It’s cooking.   JD has been cooking at his food stall, Socafro Kitchen, since 2020 and hasn’t looked back. The word ‘Socafro’ is a mash-up of JD’s two favourite types of music: the rhythmic beats of Soca from Trinidad & Tobago and the soulful lines of Afrobeat from Nigeria. This combination not only reflects JD’s Afro-Caribbean dual heritage but the recipes in this book, from jerk chicken to jollof rice. It’s not only the food that JD loves, but the food he loves to share.

Of particular interest are the book’s numerous food-related folkloric stories, reminiscences, anecdotes, songs, poems, excerpts from narratives written by foreign visitors to the region, and cultural explications of customs, all interwoven with the recipes. The book is supplemented with detailed menus and an extended glossary to familiarize the reader with the indigenous ingredients used in creating authentic Iraqi meals. The book is a valuable addition to the shelves of specialized and general libraries and a must-have for food lovers everywhere.Table of ContentsIntroduction: Iraqi Food in Perspective Chapter One: Breads Chapter Two: Dairy Products Chapter Three: Vegetarian Appetizers and Salads Chapter Four: Soups Chapter Five: Snacks, Sandwiches, and Side Dishes (with Meat) Chapter Six: Snacks, Sandwiches, and Side Dishes (Vegetarian) Chapter Seven: Stews Chapter Eight: Rice Chapter Nine: Other Grains and Beans Chapter Ten: Lamb and Beef Chapter Eleven: Stuffed Foods Chapter Twelve: Poultry Chapter Thirteen: Fish Chapter Fourteen: Savory Pastries Chapter Fifteen: Desserts: Puddings and Ice Creams Chapter Sixteen: Desserts with Syrup Chapter Seventeen: Cakes and confections Chapter Eighteen: Cookies/Biscuits and Sweet Pastries Chapter Nineteen: Jams and Pickles Chapter Twenty: Beverages Menus and Manners Glossary
