    Book SynopsisA GUARDIAN BOOK OF THE YEAR 'A JOY OF A BOOK' (SUNDAY TIMES) A BBC GOOD FOOD 'BEST INDIAN COOKBOOK'FROM THE 1.5 MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF 'THE ROASTING TIN SERIES': 75 SIMPLE, FRESH AND DELICIOUS RECIPES.

'A must-have' Rachel Roddy 'A practical and inspiring delight' Niki Segnit 'An instant classic' Felicity Cloake 'Clever, speedy, manageable' India Knight 'Rukmini's best book yet' Stuart HeritageDiscover simple and speedy recipes that work for every day such as:Crisp-Topped Marinated Sea Bass With Green Chilli, Lime & Coriander - Roasted Cauliflower with yoghurt and mustard - All-in-one Aubergine, Tomato & Nigella Seed Curry - Chilli, Coconut & Lime Salmon with Roasted Cherry Tomatoes - Green Pea, Onion & Cauliflower Pulao Rice - Bengali Popcorn Shrimp - Mini-Naan Pizzas with Lime & Coriander Paneer - Cheddar, Cumin & Nigella Seed Cheese StrawsFrom quick snacks and weeknight dinners to simple desserts, Rukmini Iyer has created a collection of South Indian and Bengali-inspired recipes with a modern twist. Keeping with her ethos of 'minimum effort, maximum flavour', these dishes are vibrant, achievable and moreish. 'Effortless innovative cooking and banging flavours' Alice Slater 'Everything is full of flavour and easy' Angela Hui 'Full of realistic, delicious recipes' Bethany Rutter Trade ReviewInspired by a train journey between her parents' home towns of Kolkata and Chennai, India Express is a collection of 75 south Indian and Bengali recipes, and Rukmini Iyer's seventh book. The first thing I made from it was Chingri Macher Malai, spiced prawns in coconut milk, which took minutes to prep, simmered quietly for just under half an hour, and was perfect on buttered white rice. Semolina pancakes were similarly successful. This collection follows Iyer's wildly successful roasting tin series, rightly considered cookbooks for our times. What was it about them? Accessibility? Minimum fuss/maximum flavour? Layout? Trust in the likable, reassuring person who guided you through? All of the above - which, together with more personal material than her previous work, makes India Express a must-have. * Rachel Roddy, The Guardian 'Best Books of 2022' *I am a huge fan of Rukmini Iyer's Roasting Tin cookery books, but her new one, India Express, is my favourite yet... an absolute joy of a book * India Knight, Sunday Times *The most delicious things I ate this year were 'chop' from [Rukmini Iyer's] India Express ... The book is a practical and inspiring delight. Iyer brings her trademark clarity and fuss-free instruction to some of the South Indian and Bengali recipes she ate growing up. It's veg-leaning and full of flavour. I have used the book a great deal and am keeping it in the kitchen because this is the kind of food I want to make after Christmas indulgence. * Niki Segnit, author of 'The Flavour Thesaurus' and 'Lateral Cooking' *An instant classic * Felicity Cloake, author of 'Red Sauce, Brown Sauce' *It's beautiful, remaining true to Rukmini's accessible, flavourful and innovative style * Alice Slater, author of 'Death of a Bookseller' *Effortless innovative cooking and banging flavours * Angela Hui, author of 'Takeaway' *Full of realistic, delicious recipes * Bethany Rutter, author of 'Welcome To Your Life' *Beautiful and mouth-watering * Robert Elms, BBC Radio *Amazing, simple but really flavoursome curry recipes * Trish Halpin, 'Postcards from Midlife' podcast *Packed with great ideas for quick-to-prepare dishes with some punchy flavours * Madeleine Morrow, London Unattached *Absolutely brilliant - clever, speedy, manageable * India Knight, author of 'Darling' *This is Rukmini's best book yet * Stuart Heritage, author of 'Don't be a Dick, Pete' *There are plenty of punchy flavours here and the beauty of this kind of cooking is that it requires so little preparation. * Constance Craig Smith, Daily Mail, for ‘The Green Roasting Tin’ *This book has changed my life * Juno Dawson, for ‘The Green Roasting Tin’ *Wonderful.

    Book SynopsisRichie Castillo is the chef behind Bahay, a Filipino pop-up restaurant that he started and runs with his partner, Alex O'Neill. Richie and Alex named Bahay after the Tagalog word for home while the title of this, their first book - Masarap - means tasty in Tagalog, the Filipino language. It's a nod to Bahay's Irish-Filipino background, seeing as how blasta means tasty in Irish. For Richie, this book was a catalyst for exploring and connecting with his Filipino heritage. You'll find classic dishes such as adobo, a range of exciting Filipino dishes and playful recipes with Filipino flavours that highlight his experience growing up eating Filipino food with Irish ingredients. Masarap is the exploration of Filipino food through an Irish cultural lens and a way to introduce more people to the food of the Philippines, which is hugely underrepresented. Alex, a self-proclaimed food lover who will try anything twice, is the storyteller in Bahay. She loves taking Richie's ideas and fleshing them out into points of view to create Bahay's story.Trade Review"A small book of Filipino food that I love in a big way!" - Nigella Lawson

    Book SynopsisThe long-awaited new cookbook from the king of relaxed Australian cafe style food'Every city has one cafe that becomes the poster child for its inner spirit, and for Sydney, it is bills. Bill has a way of synthesising market produce + eggs + sunshine + freshness into something you didn't know you wanted, but you wanted it bad.' TERRY DURACK'Bill Granger [is] the restaurateur who is most responsible for the Australian cafe's global reach.' AMELIA LESTER, The New Yorker In the 20 years since Bill Granger published his first book of recipes, Sydney Food, the world has fallen in love with the joyfully casual Australian way of eating. As a self-taught cook, straight out of art school, Bill furnished his first street-corner eatery in minimalist style, serving a small but perfectly formed menu of domestic dishes around a central communal table. He captured the hearts of Sydneysiders and visitors alike, while setting an exciting new standard for cafe dining. Since then, Bill has been crowned the 'egg master of Sydney' (New York Times 2002), the 'king of breakfast' (The Telegraph Magazine, 2016), the 'creator of avocado toast' (Washington Post 2016) and 'the restaurateur most responsible for the Australian cafe's global reach' (The New Yorker 2018).Nowadays, from Sydney to Tokyo, and London to Seoul, queues form to enjoy ricotta hotcakes ('Sydney's most iconic dish' Good Food 2019), fluffy scrambled eggs, lively salads and punchy curries. It is a bright picture of Australian food that has travelled across the globe, packed with fresh flavours and local produce, healthy but never preachy, whose main ingredient seems to be sunshine itself. The plates at any of Bill's restaurants are more sophisticated today, reflecting decades of global experience and culinary creativity - but the warmth of atmosphere and joy of eating remain the same.Trade Review'Every city has one cafe that becomes the poster child for its inner spirit, and for Sydney, it is bills. Bill had a way of synthesising market produce + eggs + sunshine + freshness into something you didn't know you wanted, but you wanted it bad. Somehow, Bill takes the sunshine with him. The key to Bill's global success is that he changes constantly, and yet has never changed. The principles remain the same - take something people love to eat, and make it fresher, lighter, more beautiful. It's irresistible. It's the sort of food you eat when you're on holidays, and yet you can eat it every day.' TERRY DURACK'Bill Granger [is] the restaurateur who is most responsible for the Australian cafe's global reach.' AMELIA LESTER, The New Yorker 'Sliding Doors theory - in one universe you turn left; in another you hook right. If the theory is true, a world exists where a 23-year-old Bill Granger stays in art school and never opens a cafe in a remodelled Darlinghurst pub. What a grey world to live in. A universe, potentially, without communal restaurant tables and avocado toast. One in which Granger's ricotta hotcakes don't become Sydney's most iconic dish and the self-taught cook never perfects his recipe for golden, curdy scrambled eggs. Brunch never takes off as A Thing and corn fritters don't become a corpse-reviving constant of every suburban cafe. Thank heavens that in our universe Granger is better with pans than paints.' CALLAN BOYS, The Sydney Morning Herald'Such defiantly unpretentious food made bills feel like an extension of home and launched a whole new culture of eating in Australia' DAVID PRIOR, Conde Nast Traveler 'New Yorkers have taken to the modern breakfasts served at the city's rapidly multiplying Australian cafes ... Mr. Granger had no intention of reinventing the image of Australian food as seen from abroad, but he did.' JULIA MOSKIN, The New York Times 'The avocado-on-toast mania can be traced back to one man: Bill Granger, who began serving the now staple brunch dish in 1993.' MILANDA ROUT, The Australian WISH magazine'You may consider your own scramble the paragon. Or your mother's. Or Julia Child's or Michel Guerard's, served in an eggshell with a jaunty black cap of beluga. Fair enough. But believe me, I would stack Mr. Granger's up against all comers, fully confident that they would hold their own.' RW APPLE JNR, The New York Times 'Among Granger's greatest offerings is his reinterpretation of what breakfast should be in a country where breakfast has, until relatively recently, meant a full English, with sausage and bacon and eggs, plus mediocre coffee.' HANNAH GOLDFIELD T Magazine'Renowned as the "King of breakfast", Granger has always been ahead of the game in terms of food trends. Today, he is celebrated for having brought relaxed, joyful food with a 'sunny twist' to Britain.'

A Korean living in the UK, Su Scott was thrown into a crisis of identity when motherhood dawned, one which she only found her way out of by cooking the dishes of her Korean childhood, seeking out the flavours and textures of memories that she hopes to pass on to her daughter. Within this intimate cookbook, Su guides you through her modern Korean larder, explores the ferments, pickles and sauces that lift Korean dishes to delicious heights and shares a comforting array of recipes, from Korean Fried Chicken and Kimchi Fried Rice, to Spicy Seafood Noodle Soup. Littered between enticing plates are tender stories of what it means to be a woman, mother and immigrant all at once and how food connects all the pieces of our lives to make us whole. This is a love letter from mother to daughter woven together by food. It’s a book about identity and immigration. It’s about how the food you feed your children builds a story about their heritage. But it’s mainly a book about wonderful food – the kind of food we all want to eat right now. Trade ReviewThis book is likely to make you cry, and not just from preparing yangpa jangajji. Su has written a beautiful, moving account of how food can help rebuild culture from treasured memories, how it conveys love and connection, and how it can ground us with a sense of place when we feel untethered. Su’s warmth, skill, and affection simply glows from every page. And most importantly, the recipes are totally tantalising – and thanks to Su’s guidance, entirely achievable even for novices. * Tim Anderson *A book of belonging. Food as a love letter to family. Writing as delicious as the recipes. * Allan Jenkins, editor OFM *

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisWinner of the 2023 International Association of Culinary Professionals Award for best Culinary Travel Cookbook 'The heart and soul of beautiful Kashmir is in every single recipe. Simply stunning.' – Gordon RamsayIn On The Himalayan Trail Indian food writer and chef, Romy Gill, tells the story of Kashmir and Ladakh’s unique and tantalising cuisine sharing over 80 extraordinary recipes that can be recreated in your own home kitchen. With everything from Shammi Kebabs (minced lamb patties) to Wagen Pakora (deep fried aubergine in gram flour) for Nashta (starters) succulent meat curries like the Kashmiri Rogan Josh or Gustaba (lamb meatballs cooked in a yoghurt gravy); to aromatic vegetable dishes such as the Kanguch yakhni (morels cooked in spicy gravy): these recipes shines a light on the magnificent, little-known cuisine of Kashmir and Leh, celebrating its land, its ingredients and its heritage. Kashmiri cuisine is one of the most delectable cuisines in India. Heavily influenced by Mughal, Persian, Afghan and Central Asian styles of cooking, it offers up a diverse range of dishes, displaying and revelling in a fusion of flavours and influences. Increasingly difficult to access due to the political uncertainty in the region, it’s more important than ever to share and preserve Kashmir’s secrets and traditional methods of cooking. Set to the backdrop of the snow-capped Himalayas, with stunning travel photography throughout, this first-of-its-kind book, offers an intimate window into the life and the history of the Kashmiri and Ladakhi people, and why food is at the heart of this incredible place. Trade ReviewRomy really takes her readers on a journey they’ve most likely not made before. In sharing her passion for the people, places and produce of Kashmir, Romy’s appetite for this lesser-known part of India – its ingredients, its recipes, its stories – becomes quite contagious. The lamb! The lotus root! All the savoury quince and saffron-infused dishes: this is a cuisine I certainly want to know more about. * Yotam Ottolenghi *Travelling through glittering lakes and icy mountain passes, this is a fascinating, beguiling and delectable journey into the heart of Jammu and Kashmir. * Tom Parker Bowles *Between the covers of this book is an incredible adventure: the views, traditions, flavours and scents of the Himalayas are all there, and we could not ask for a better, more knowledgeable guide to take us to the ceiling of the world than Romy. * Itamar Srulovich and Sarit Packer AKA Honey & Co. *There's nowhere I'm more desperate to visit than Kashmir. Unfortunately, Kashmir is also one of the hardest places to visit on the planet. Until it becomes possible, Romy's enchanting book is the next best thing. A transporting work at a time we all need transporting. * Sathnam Sanghera *On the Himalayan Trail beautifully showcases the splendour of Kashmir through delicious recipes, engaging stories and stunning photographs that bring its lakes, valleys and people to life. Wonderful too, to see the blanket term ‘Indian food’ being dismantled by a book that delves deep into a region which deserves to be celebrated for its rich and unique culinary heritage. * Ravinder Bhogal *Romy Gill’s curiosity and warmth have produced a thrilling book that expands the mind and promises some great meals. * Sheila Dillon *

  • Preserving the Japanese Way

    Andrews McMeel Publishing Preserving the Japanese Way

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisPreserving the Japanese Way, nominated for a 2016 James Beard Award in the International Cookbook category, introduces Japanese methods of salting, pickling, and fermenting that are approachable and easy to integrate into a Western cooking repertoire. Documentary-quality photo essays reveal the local Japanese communities that support these long-established preservation practices. It is by Nancy Singleton Hachisu, author of Japanese Farm Food.Preserving the Japanese Way: Traditions of Salting, Fermenting, and Pickling for the Modern Kitchen offers a clear road map for preserving fruits, vegetables, and fish through a nonscientific, farm- or fisherman-centric approach. An essential backdrop to the 125 recipes outlined in this book are the producers and the artisanal products used to make these salted and fermented foods. The more than 350 arresting photos of the barrel maker, fish sauce producer, artisanal vinegar company, 200 hundred-year-old sake producer, and traditional morning pickle markets with local grandmas still selling their wares document an authentic view of the inner circle of Japanese life. Recipe methods range from the ultratraditional— Umeboshi (Salted Sour Plums), Takuan (Half-Dried Daikon Pickled in Rice Bran), and Hakusai (Fermented Napa Cabbage)— to the modern: Zucchini Pickled in Shoyu Koji, Turnips Pickled with Sour Plums, and Small Melons in Sake Lees. Preserving the Japanese Way also introduces and demystifies one of the most fascinating ingredients to hit the food scene in over a decade: koji. Koji is neither new nor unusual in the landscape of Japan fermentation, but it has become a cult favorite for quick pickling or marinades. Preserving the Japanese Way is a book about community, seasonality as the root of preserved food, and ultimately about why both are relevant in our lives today. “In Japan, pickling, fermenting, and salting are elevated as a delicious and refined art form, one that Nancy Singleton Hachisu has mastered.  This is a gorgeous, thoughtful—dare I say spiritual—guide to the world of Japanese pickling written with clarity and a deep respect for technique and tradition. Nancy understands that salting cherry blossoms and drying squid aren’t just about preserving foods—it's about preserving a way of life.” —Rick Bayless, author of Authentic Mexican and owner of Frontera Grill   “In her first gorgeous book, Nancy delved into the soul of Japanese country cooking.  In this stunning new volume, we are introduced to the myriad ways of preserving and fermenting that, like the writing and photography, highlight the gentle elegance and beautiful patience of Japanese cookery.”   —Edward Lee, author of Smoke & Pickles and owner of 610 Magnolia   “Even if you never yearned to make your own miso or pickle your own vegetables, this beautiful book will change your mind. It’s almost impossible to flip through these pages without wanting to join Nancy Singleton Hachisu in the lovely meditation of her cooking. This book is unlike anything else out there, and every serious cook will want to own it.” —Ruth Reichl, author of Tender at the Bone and former editor-in-chief of Gourmet Magazine
