Book SynopsisHo Jiak is a cookbook that takes readers on a journey to chef Junda Khoo’s homeland of Malaysia and showcases the unique cuisine through more than 100 staple recipes, from street food classics to homestyle cooking with soul. Starting with simple, budget-friendly meals to make in 15 minutes, Khoo shows us how to make all the classic Malaysian dishes from hawker and street food classics like poached, juicy Hainan chicken and crimson bowls of curry laksa, to home-style recipes, like deep-fried, curried chicken and snacky loh bak (five spice pork rolls) and more. But it’s not just the classics that we discover in this book, Khoo also introduces us to nourishing homecooked Malaysian dishes, which aren’t commonly served in eateries outside of Malaysia. Think lotus roots steeped in a pork bone broth and fried bee hoon – a smoky, umami vermicelli noodle dish. The recipes in this book are made up of dishes Khoo serves at Ho Jiak Town Hall, a hatted-venue named as one of Australia’s best restaurants by Gourmet Traveller, as well as food from the streets of Malaysia and recipes Khoo makes for his children, which were passed down to him from his beloved amah (grandmother). Khoo has no culinary training, but his food has so much heart that he now owns one of the best restaurants in Australia. Ho Jiak, translating to ‘good eats’, is Khoo’s modern interpretation of Malaysian cuisine that is steeped in tradition and full of heart. It is a must-have for any foodie wanting to expand their repertoire and for any lover of Malaysian cuisine.

Book SynopsisFalafel are deep-fried balls or patties of chickpea or broad beans, with added herbs, spices, onion and garlic and are widely eaten across the Middle East. While the style varies from region to region, they’re usually enjoyed in a wrap or pitta with salad, tahini, pickles and a spicy sauce. Long popular in Britain, particularly among immigrant communities, falafel are now a nationwide staple, and have swiftly become one of our most popular fast foods. It’s not hard to see why: they also fall into that wondrous overlapping category of being crave-worthy and satisfying, as well as nutritious and fairly low in fat. What’s more, they are a brilliant source of protein for those who don’t eat meat. They are rich in fibre and modern falafel are often made with added vegetables, nuts and seeds, lentils, or grains, as are many of the delicious recipes in this book. Try the Fennel & Lemon Scented Falafel or Juicy Brown Rice Faux-lafel. Find Crunchy Sesame Falafel or Falafel Croquettes or enjoy snacks such as tasty Mediterranean Seed Falafel, all packed with good stuff, and very low fat. Whip up a drizzle such as Home-made Tahini Sauce, as the perfect complement your hot, freshly cooked patties. Finally, make tangy quick pickles, crisp herby salads and easy flatbreads so you can serve your freshly cooked falafel with all the trimmings and enjoy it as its best.

Book Synopsis“Street food is in my blood. I love its direct appeal to the senses without pretension. It is down to earth and that’s what draws me. To eat something with my hands is a true pleasure. Simple and delicious: that’s my philosophy of food.” - Simona. Today, street food has become known for more than just being a cheap way to eat. It is also recognised as a type of food that can be packed with flavour and uses the best ingredients. In 75 recipes, Simona El-Harar takes us on a journey of flavours through Mediterranean street food from its simplest forms to its more complex ones. She explains where many of the different dishes come from - Turkey, Tunisia, Israel, or many other countries - and how these different dishes have impacted her life and her cooking. She guides us through recipes so that we can reproduce them in our own kitchen. The recipes have been grouped into five broad categories: meat, fish, vegetarian, breads and sweets, and condiments and snacks. Classic babka, Moroccan meat cigars, Hamentaschen cookies, pomegranate water ice, or sensational hummus with broad beans, all the dishes will make your mouth water and will make you want to cook them for your loved ones.Table of ContentsIntroduction 4 Falafels 10 Sabich 13 Aubergine Burger 14 Aubergine and Courgette Fritters 16 Roasted Chickpeas and Cumin 19 Hummus Ful 20 Roasted Almonds 25 Your Olives 28 Green Tahini 31 Ful in Cumin 32 Pickles 35 Grissini of Cumin and Nigella Seeds 36 Gozleme 38 Israeli Toast 41 Breadcrumb Fried Cauliflower with Za’atar 42 Egg Brick 44 Spinach and Potato Latkes 47 Fatayer 48 Israeli Omelette 50 Salty Babka 52 Labneh 55 Za'atar 56 Bedouin Laffa 58 Chimichurri of Pomegranates 61 Jerusalem Bagels with Za’atar 62 Sambusak 65 For the potato filling 66 For the cheese filling 68 For the mushroom filling 70 Cheese Borekas 73 Khachapuri 75 Zhug 76 Jachnun 79 Crushed Tomatoes 80 Kubaneh 83 Potato Salad 84 Tunisian Fricassé 89 Ceviche of Mackerel 90 Roasted Leeks with Fresh Tuna 93 Yoghurt with Fresh Mint 94 Fish Shawarma 97 Fish Kebab 98 Calamari Ashdod Style 101 Fried Anchovies 103 Fried Whole Fish 104 Harissa 106 Baharat 109 Chicken Shawarma 112 Chicken Schnitzel 115 Musakhan 116 Spicy Chicken Wings 119 Amba 120 Lamb Kofta Cinnamon Lollipops 123 Arayes 124 Challah Buns with Meat Filling 127 Meat Borekas 131 My Mum’s Tuna Pastel 132 Moroccan Meat Cigars 135 Lahmacun 137 Beef Tartare with Smoked Aubergine 139 Filled Lettuce Tacos 140 My Perfect Salad 143 Aubergine Jam 144 Carrot Jam 147 Soufganiyot 148 Shbakia 151 Tahini Cookies 152 Sahlep 154 Lebanese Nights 157 Maamoul 161 Basbousa 162 Vanilla and Black Sesame Ice Cream 165 Pomegranate Water Ice 166 Frozen Yoghurt with Pistachios and Fresh Fruit 168 Babka 171 Hamantaschen Cookies 172 Index of recipes by ingredient 174 Thank you 176
