Book Synopsis“Wherever I travel, be it a different state, country, or continent, I always call Phil when I need to know where and what to eat. He’s the food guru of the world.” —Ray RomanoThe ultimate collection of must-have recipes, stories, and behind-the-scenes photos from the beloved Netflix show Somebody Feed Phil. Phil Rosenthal, host of the beloved Netflix series Somebody Feed Phil, really loves food and learning about global cultures, and he makes sure to bring that passion to every episode of the show. Whether he’s traveling stateside to foodie-favorite cities such as San Francisco or New Orleans or around the world to locations like Saigon, Tel Aviv, Rio de Janeiro, Mexico City, or Marrakesh, Rosenthal includes a healthy dose of humor to every episode—and now to this book. In Somebody Feed Phil the Book, Rosenthal presents never-before-heard stories from every episode of the first four seasons of the series, along with more than sixty of viewers’ most requested recipes from acclaimed international chefs and local legends alike (including Rosenthal’​s favorite sandwich finds from San Francisco to Tel Aviv), so you can replicate many of the dishes from the show right at home. There are also “scripts” from some of Rosenthal’s video phone calls from the road with his family making this the ultimate companion guide for avid fans of the show as well as armchair travelers and adventurous at-home chefs.Trade Review“Wherever I travel, be it a different state, country, or continent, I always call Phil when I need to know where and what to eat. He’s the food guru of the world. You can have that same information, folks! I can’t give you his phone number, but this book is just as good. It’s probably better, because when he’s on the phone he never shuts up.” —Ray Romano“Somebody Feed Phil the Book is the best thing since sliced bread . . . baked on the outskirts of Porto.” —Yotam Ottolenghi“What could be more delightful than watching Phil travel and eat around the world? Trying the amazing meals ourselves, of course. I can’t wait to dive in.” —Gwyneth Paltrow“I’ve been lucky enough to dine with Phil Rosenthal, and the man has great taste—he’s a true enthusiast and culinary adventurer. And now his favorite global recipes are in one cookbook? Sign me up.” —Norman Lear“Somebody Feed Phil the Book is an exploration into the spectacular culinary journey of the show. The only thing better than traveling with Phil is getting fed like Phil, and now you can do both!” —Michael Solomonov“Somebody Feed Phil the Book captures everything wonderful about food and travel, showcasing not only the work of high-end chefs but also the food of the people. I can’t wait to try the recipes that brought the author so much joy.” —Jane Fonda“Somehow, the enthusiasm my friend Phil Rosenthal has for food—and he has an extravagant level of enthusiasm—comes through in his terrific new book, Somebody Feed Phil the Book. That’s not easy to accomplish, but he does it. And the beauty of Phil’s delight about restaurants and food is that as enthusiastic as he gets, he never exaggerates. If he says something is downright incredible, it’s gonna be downright incredible. And this book, well, it’s downright incredible.” —Nancy Silverton“This book should come with a warning label: Do Not Read on an Empty Stomach. Phil Rosenthal’s enthusiasm for great food is unmatched, and these recipes are showstoppers! I’d flag my favorites if it didn’t mean a bookmark on every single page.” —Allison Janney“I met Phil in 2009 and literally thought, Is this the nicest man in the world? Then he made a TV show about a guy eating around the world, being the nicest man in the world, meeting the nicest people in the world. And now he’s written a book about a show about a guy who eats around the world that gives us all final proof that being nice to one another and breaking bread together is the nicest thing we all can do together in this world.” —Roy Choi"Phil Rosenthal takes viewers around the world in his friendly and funny travel show, Somebody Feed Phil. This companion book delivers over 60 viewer-requested recipes as well as episode scripts, never-heard-before stories, and photography culled from his travels." —Epicurious

Book SynopsisHawsmoor at Home should be covered in fingerprints and splashes of food, as it's a great hands-on book to use every day.' HESTON BLUMENTHAL'When we started out we had a simple plan - to open the best steak restaurant in London. We travelled the world searching for the perfect steak, but discovered that beef from traditional breeds, reared the old-fashioned way right here in Britain, and cooked simply over real charcoal, packed more flavour than anything we tried on our travels.'The critics have hailed Hawksmoor as one of the great restaurant openings of recent years. Their credo is simple: the best ingredients - dictionary-thick steaks from Longhorn cattle traditionally reared in North Yorkshire by multi-award-winners The Ginger Pig, dry-aged for at least thirty-five days, simply cooked on a real charcoal grill. Their cocktails, wines and desserts too have been applauded to the echo.Hawksmoor at Home is a practical cookbook which shows you how to buy and cook great steak and seafood and indeed much else (including how to cook both the 'best burger in Britain' and the 'best roast beef in Britain'); how to mix terrific cocktails and choose wine to accompany your meal. Above all Hawksmoor at Home entertains and informs in the inimitable 'Hawksmoor' way.Trade ReviewI love Hawksmoor. Whenever I feel the need for fabulous meat it's the place I go * Angela Hartnett *Every now and then a cookbook comes out that makes you think: "I can't wait to get my hands on that." The Hawksmoor cookbook is just such a one: beautifully designed and full of recipes ... An absolute must-have for anyone who loves a brilliant burger or a perfect rack of ribs * City AM *The only thing harder to find than a great piece of meat is a great book on meat. Hawksmoor at Home is most definitely the latter, best enjoyed with a bottle - several, actually - of good red wine * Mark Schatzker, author of Steak *Hawksmoor at Home features some excellent essays on what makes a steak great in the first place, including breed (and livelihood) of cattle, as well as the science behind achieving that elusive perfect crust. Cocktails are Hawksmoor's other trump card, and some of the favourites are here, including the tobacco old fashioned and the 'turbo-shandy' known as Shaky Pete's ginger brew (I tried this at home, and it was delicious). And if you're tired of steak, then you'll also find recipes for the famous kimchi burger, cornflake ice cream and mac and cheese. As expected, this is a well-researched and authoritative take on steak. * Square Meal *Ooh it's mouthwatering * Observer *

Book Synopsis[Chet Sharma] is not only one of the most exciting chefs in London, but also one of the cleverest.' Great British ChefsThe much-anticipated debut cookbook from the lauded chef behind BiBi, the innovative and groundbreaking Indian restaurant in London beloved by critics and customers alike Chet Sharma began his career as an academic before working as a development chef for many of the world's best restaurants, from Mugaritz in San Sebastian, Spain, to Moor Hall in West Lancashire, in the north of England. When the time came to open his own restaurant, his heritage and background provided the inspiration for BiBi, the name being a term used affectionately throughout India to mean lady of the house', or grandmother. Yet his food is much more than an homage to authentic Indian cuisine. Our food doesn't necessarily look Indian on the plate,' Chet says. It's modern and progressive, but if an Indian grandmother walked into the dining room and tasted a dish, she would still understand its roots.'Sharma's much anticipated debut cookbook weaves together recipes for 60 of his exquisitely detailed signature dishes with a series of personal essays that explore his memories of the Indian subcontinent and the personalities and dishes of his heritage. Readers will discover iconic dishes from the restaurant's repertoire, including Nimbu Pani', Wookey-hole cheese papad,' and the signature Sharmaji's Lahori Chicken', as well as some of Chet's playful takes on traditional Indian dishes, such as Seekh Kebabs' and ''Alphonso Mango Lassi'. A substantial Essentials' section presents recipes for BiBi's bespoke masalas, stocks, and other core components of the restaurant's unique menu.BiBi The Cookbook also features reflections on the restaurant from some of its most esteemed guests, including Andoni Aduriz, Aziz Ansari, Mark Birchall, Ryan Chetiyawardana, Brett Graham, Tom Kerridge, Henrietta Lovell & Richard Hart, Trevor Noah, Olly Smith, and Hans Zimmer.

Book Synopsis In an era of excessive convenience and disposable food waste, Gennaro’s Cucina could not come at a better time – you will learn how to use simple ingredients in inventive ways, eat seasonally, spend less and, ultimately, eat better. ‘Cucina povera’ is the food that traditionally fed the poor of Italy yet remains the basis of most Italian dishes we love to eat today. It’s a simple philosophy – delicious, hearty meals using accessible and affordable ingredients. Encouraging an ethos of zero waste, Gennaro’s Cucina ensures that every part of the ingredient, and your budget, is put to good culinary use. Along with the majority of post-war Italian families, a young Gennaro was raised on a diet harvested on a limited budget. Restricted choice of scarce ingredients meant they learnt the value what they had, how to cook dishes lovingly and use imaginative methods of preservation to make simple dishes go far: including salting, drying and curing. In this inspirational cookbook, Gennaro takes you on a culinary journey of regional basic Italian staples and turns them into beautiful meals. With tips and ideas of what to do with leftovers, Gennaro helps home cooks squeeze maximum use from the ‘cucina povera’ ethos, turning humble ingredients into nourishing feasts without taste sacrifice. From Sicilian chickpea fritters to lentil soups and bread salads – to more elaborate filled vegetables, delicious ‘poor-man’s’ ricotta dumplings and simple sweet biscotti, this book will transform the way you shop, cook and eat. CHAPTERS:BREAD / DOUGHPASTARICE, POLENTA & GRAINSBEANS & PULSESVEGETABLESEGGSFISH & MEATSIMPLE SWEET TREATSTrade Review‘Proper, old-school classics to use up every scrap’ – Jamie Oliver For Limoni: ‘I can still remember the delight of eating my first Amalfi lemon whole, it was about the time I met Gennaro. Since then his books on Italian food have been a source of inspiration, particularly this one.’ – Rick Stein ‘Passionate, personal and practical, this joyous book will delight a huge spectrum of home cooks.’ – Lovereading.co.uk For Pasta Perfecto: 'Accessible, easy to follow, and full of some fantastic seasonal recipes … there’s something to suit every mood, occasion and skill set.’ – The Daily Telegraph 'This deserves to become a well-thumbed kitchen classic.' – The Daily Mail, ‘Best Cookbooks of 2019’ ‘There’s nothing Gennaro doesn’t know about pasta.

Book SynopsisNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERCasual, effortless, chic: these are not words you’d use to describe most desserts. But before Alison made recipes so perfect that they go by one name – The Cookie, The Pasta, The Lemon Cake – she was a restaurant pastry chef who spent most of her time learning to make things the hard way. She studied flavour, technique, and precision, then distilled her knowledge to pare it all down to create dessert recipes that feel special and approachable, impressive and doable. In Sweet Enough, Alison has written the book for people who think they don’t have the time or skill to pull off dessert. Here, the desserts you want to make right away, you can make right away. Alison shows you how to make simple yet sublime sweets with her trademark casualness, like how to make jam in the oven, then turn that jam into a dessert – swirled into ice cream or folded into easy one-bowl cake batter (opening a jar of jam is more than fine, too). She waxes poetic on the virtues of frozen fruit and teaches you the best way to throw your own Sundae Party. There are effortless cakes that take just minutes to get into a pan. And there are new, instant classics with a signature Alison twist, like Salted Lemon Pie, Raspberries and Sour Cream, Toasted Rice Pudding, or a Caramelised Maple Tart. Requiring little more than your own two hands and a few mixing bowls, the recipes are geared towards those without fancy equipment or specialty ingredients. Whether you’re a dedicated baker or, better yet, someone who doesn’t think they are a baker, Sweet Enough lets you finish any dinner, any party, or any car ride to a dinner party with a little something wonderful and sweet.

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 *

Book SynopsisWinner, James Beard Award for Best Book in Vegetable-Focused CookingNamed a Best Cookbook of the Year by the Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, Bon Appétit, Food Network Magazine, Every Day with Rachael Ray, USA Today, Seattle Times, Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Library Journal, Eater, and moreFeatured in The Strategist 's Nonobvious Wedding Gift Guide"Of the many vegetable-focused cookbooks on the market, few espouse the dual goals of starting from square one and of deploying minimal ingredients for maximum enjoyment. Joshua McFadden's guide excels at both. These are recipes that every last relative around your holiday table would use because they're umami-rich and can be made on a weeknight." -USA Today, 8 Cookbooks for People Who Don't Know How to Cook"If you're finding pantry cooking to mean too many uninspired pots of beans, might I suggest Six Seasons? [It] both highlights a perfectly ripe plant . . . and shows you how to transform slightly less peak-season produce (yes, the cabbage lurking in the back of your fridge right now counts) with heat, spice, acid, and fat." -Epicurious "Never before have I seen so many fascinating, delicious, easy recipes in one book. . . . [Six Seasons is] about as close to a perfect cookbook as I have seen . . . a book beginner and seasoned cooks alike will reach for repeatedly."-Lucky Peach Joshua McFadden, chef and owner of renowned trattoria Ava Gene's in Portland, Oregon, is a vegetable whisperer. After years racking up culinary cred at New York City restaurants like Lupa, Momofuku, and Blue Hill, he managed the trailblazing Four Season Farm in coastal Maine, where he developed an appreciation for every part of the plant and learned to coax the best from vegetables at each stage of their lives. In Six Seasons, his first book, McFadden channels both farmer and chef, highlighting the evolving attributes of vegetables throughout their growing seasons-an arc from spring to early summer to midsummer to the bursting harvest of late summer, then ebbing into autumn and, finally, the earthy, mellow sweetness of winter. Each chapter begins with recipes featuring raw vegetables at the start of their season. As weeks progress, McFadden turns up the heat-grilling and steaming, then moving on to sautés, pan roasts, braises, and stews. His ingenuity is on display in 225 revelatory recipes that celebrate flavour at its peak.Trade Review“A great book. Period. . . . Never before have I seen so many fascinating, delicious, easy recipes in one book. . . . In fact, it’s about as close to a perfect cookbook as I have seen.
