Book SynopsisA trip to the supermarket while vacationing in a foreign country can be a frustrating ordeal. How to choose the best seafood (what is the deal with the tiny packages of fish?) proper farmers’ market etiquette (is it okay to touch the veggies?) and choosing the right checkout line (there are different kinds?) can all lead to moments of confusion, and asking for help is not so easy with a language barrier.

Unfamiliar with cuts of meat and unable to decipher labels or cooking instructions, she was surrounded by delicious produce but lost when it came to utilising it in French cooking. Chef Deborah Scarborough came to her rescue, and now, in Shop Like a Local in France, both share their tips for other travellers looking to rock their vacation cooking or explore French cuisine at home.

Book SynopsisDespite its vast repertoire, variety, and recipes bursting with flavor, Hungarian cuisine is one of the most underappreciated and unknown European cuisines. There are few Hungarian restaurants outside the country so those who are interested in discovering Hungarian cuisine (and any food lover should be!) must go to Hungary to sample everything firsthand, prepared with real Hungarian ingredients-now by a new generation of talented chefs and winemakers. Despite the fact that last year more foreign tourists visited the city than ever before (36.6 million), there are still no guidebooks written in English focusing on Budapest restaurants and Hungarian food. Carolyn Bánfalvi has written the first culinary guide to Budapest, Food Wine Budapest. This book is a practical guide that contains the vocabulary you’ll need (one obstacle to discovering Hungarian food and wine is the difficult Magyar language); dozens of restaurant, café, and shop reviews; and descriptions of Hungarian dishes and wines. The Hungarian wine industry is young, dynamic, and relatively little known outside of the country, which makes sampling its wines deliciously adventurous. The book will ensure that readers have memorable eating and drinking experiences. Throughout Food Wine Budapest there are also sidebars providing local color and in-depth information.

Book Synopsis ‘This book is a delightful new addition to a most distinguished company of cooks and writers, bravo Alex.’ — Jeremy Lee Explore the food of France's borderlands with acclaimed chef Alex Jackson in his second cookbook Frontières. This is a book about the cooking of France’s borderlands: from the geographical to the historical, linguistic and metaphorical. In it, Alex Jackson sets out to investigate the cooking of these borderland areas with a view to exploring the similarities between the food on either side of the borders. From the Riviera, where the border has shifted many times but the cooking remains of a delicious whole, to the Occitan valleys of the Italian Alps, the Franco-German cooking of Alsace, and Marseille, one of the most important ports of the Mediterranean, and its historic (and current) links with North Africa. Alex explores how French cuisine has been influenced through history and that many of these dishes are part of a shared tradition of western European and Mediterranean cookery. With over 80 mouth-watering recipes and fascinating introductions to each region, Frontières will take you on a delicious gastronomic journey through France's varied borderlands, adding many interesting dishes to your repertoire along the way.Trade Review‘If you fell in love with food through trips to France you’ll be in heaven. Frontières shows you why you felt that way in the first place. This will stand alongside my favourite books on French cookery, by Richard Olney and Anne Willan. A dream of a book.’ — Diana Henry 'What a clever, fascinating book this is, with Jackson delving into France’s borderlands, taking in everything from the Alps and Alsace to North Africa, the Riviera and the Southwest. These are permeable borders, the recipes often interchangeable with Germany and Tunisia, Italy and Spain. The writing is wonderful, the recipes sublime.’ — Tom Parker Bowles, MailOnline ‘Frontières is an intelligent and articulate research of authentic, tightly regional French recipes, anecdotes and stories. It is a delight. Ironically, poignantly even, in this 21st century, it could have only been compiled and written by an impassioned rosbif.’ — Simon Hopkinson ‘By exploring the overlapping flavours and traditions of the French borderlands Alex Jackson takes you on a fascinating and potent culinary journey. This wonderful and timely book serves as a reminder that good food always reflects a breadth of influence and, like music, art and friendship, it crosses all boundaries. It contains a superb collection of recipes.’ — Rachel Roddy ‘’Tis a joy to read of the pleasures of French cooking which have so inspired and informed cooks for generations. This book is a delightful new addition to a most distinguished company of cooks and writers, bravo Alex.’ — Jeremy Lee

Provencal is the stunning reissue of Alex Jackson’s widely acclaimed first book Sardine. This unique collection of recipes encapsulates the beauty and simplicity of Provencal French cooking and shows you how to recreate the flavours of the South of France at home. Provence and Languedoc are France’s window onto the Mediterranean Sea and all that lies beyond, and the culinary influences that converge there make for a cuisine that is varied, rich and deep. The recipes are unpretentious and seasonal, highlighting Alex’s belief that cooking the food of Provence is about simplicity, good ingredients and generosity of spirit. Lovingly described, the recipes evoke the South of France with their warmth and flavour; from Bouillabaisse and Autumnal Grand Aïoli to a Tomato and Tapenade Tart and Nougat Ice Cream with Fennel Biscuits. The book is divided into seasons and each season contains a ‘Grande Bouffe’ – a set menu for a feast – so you can really impress your guests and celebrate many wonderful ingredients in one evening’s cooking. Provencal promises to reignite a love affair with French provincial cooking, celebrating its multitude of influences, its focus on seasonal eating and, ultimately, an attitude to food which centres around sharing and enjoyment.Trade Review For Sardine: ‘I love … Alex Jackson’s cooking. The food he offers is from Provence and the Languedoc, areas that we haven’t been so curious about in the last few decades, but I’m thrilled they’re back. It’s time to revisit the region. There’s still so much to try.' – Diana Henry 'This is the book I used more than any other last year … His writing is a delight and, like his cooking, hits just the right balance between precision and ease.' – Rachel Roddy 'Seductively reminds us of the comforting allure of French food.' – Nigella Lawson 'It’s approachable, simple, conversational and absolutely delicious … his recipes transport you straight to the Med.’ Telegraph Weekend 'No book this year has made me feel hungrier.' – Bee Wilson, Sunday Times ‘French flavours will lure us in shoals … It is delectable.’ – Fay Maschler, Evening Standard ‘Simple, unpretentious and understated, entirely without ego, attitude or pomp … [Provencal] realises how hard simple is to get right. And does so, for the most part, with flame-licked aplomb.’ – Tom Parker Bowles, Mail on Sunday

The book includes:–Exciting Times How it used to be; The Nyetimber effect; Climate: is it almost perfect now?; Location is key; Plantinglike made; A question of style: sparkling or still; and Grape varieties: a race to the top.–British Bubbles What is needed to make good fizz; Champagne, the original fizz; Bubbles and how they’re created.–A Tour Of the Regions – covers personal experiences and reflections from Oz's many years of visiting talented and passionate producers up and down the country. From Yorkshire to the far west of Cornwall and across to Wales, a small but dynamic part of the UK's wine movement, Oz recommends wines he has enjoyed and found interesting and encourages you to try for yourself.Trade Review‘Our greatest wine writer is on typically sparkling form…wonderfully nerdish at times but never less than brilliant.’ – Matt Nixson, Daily Express ‘Drink Books 2022’ ‘This book could never have been written 20 years ago. Anyone keen for an inside scoop on the home-grown wine revolution going on beneath our noses will find this an engaging and enlightening read!’ – Giles Kime – (Country Life) 'The writing sparkles and delights, much like a glass of south coast fizz…a great source of wine inspiration.' – Sunday Telegraph ‘It’s wonderful. A blend of wine and love filtered through Betjeman and Larkin.’ - Joe Fattorini 'Utterly riveting and brilliant in a way that only Oz knows how to be…' – Victoria Moore ‘Oz Clarke OBE is the nearest thing to genius in the world of wine writing.’ – Harpers
