One of the Food Programme's Cookbooks of the Year 2021! 'The recipes are nourishing, so full of goodness, so tasty and a joy to cook and eat, and I have cooked a lot from it.' Leyla Kazim '"Good to eat" recipes indeed, as well as lots of things which are "good to know". David wears his knowledge lightly - about the science and nutrition of food - so that the focus can remain on making the food delicious. It's all there, though, for those who want the 'why's as well as the yums...' Yotam Ottolenghi 'Revitalise your diet and feel well-fed at the same time.' Dan Lepard 'Good to Eat is full of tasty morsels of both knowledge and recipes that you and all your gut microbes will love! A fantastic book.' Tim Spector 'A great number of books have been written by Bake Off winners, and David Atherton's is one of the best.' Delicious Magazine 100 fresh, healthy pescatarian recipes 'People often think that healthy eating means restricting foods or counting calories. But for me this form of 'healthy eating' was not sustainable. Plus, it was dull. I hated cutting out the food I loved best - bread, cake, pizza, Yorkshire puddings! That realisation changed how I approached food. Food should be healthy, but so should our relationship with food. So instead of depriving myself of my favourite dishes, I found new, easy ways to make them better for me.' - David Atherton GOOD TO EAT is a book that indulges our craving for baked goods, filling foods and sustaining meals but leaves us feeling good. With a few simple tweaks - like using root veg to minimise the use of sugar or trying a plant-based alternative - you can enjoy what you love to eat while nourishing your body. Food is one of the longest relationships of our lives and what we put on the plate should be more important than what we are leaving off it. With 100 exciting new recipes from the 2019 Great British Bake Off winner GOOD TO EAT promises fresh and filling suppers, sweet treats with a healthy spin, hearty salads to pick and mix, soups and more. David will leave you eating and living well.

La Patisserie des Reves (translating literally as The Patisserie of Dreams) is the name of the world famous French pastry shops; the brainchild of pastry chef Philippe Conticini and entrepreneur and hotelier Thierry Teyssier. With four shops already open in France, the first shop in London opened in March, bringing traditional French patisserie with a modern twist to the British capital. Their recipe book of the same name published in French in 2012 is published in English to coincide with this historic opening. The book contains over 70 recipes for their signature pastries, recipes include the traditional Saint Honore (choux pastry, cream and caramel topping) and Paris-Brest (choux pastry with praline cream and praline sauce). Philippe Conticini has worked as a pastry chef for many years, including a stint at La Table d'Anvers restaurant in Paris. He and business partner Thierry Teyssier, who had already set up a theatre company, an events company and a similarly-named hotel company Maisons des Reves launched the Patisserie des Reves concept after deciding that they wanted a pastry shop that would recreate the excitement children feel about fresh cakes.

The aim of this accessible cookbook is to demystify gluten-free cooking and show you that it's surprisingly easy to create foods that you thought you'd never be able to eat again. The introductory section contains clear medical and nutritional advice on all aspects of gluten-free diets and eating. You'll find information on the various types of gluten-free flours, what bakes they are suitable for, and how to blend them. Then there are more than 165 tried-and-tested recipes for all kinds of breads, cakes, cookies, pasta, pies, puddings, pastries and sauces that will revolutionize your gluten-free diet and help you enjoy foods you may have thought were off the menu for good. You'll find traditional recipes that have been reworked to make them gluten free, as well as plenty of delicious new ideas and inherently gluten-free dishes that everyone should have in their repertoire. Wholesome breads, pasta, pastries, puds and all manner of other sweet and savoury bakes are all included, many of which are also dairy-free, vegetarian and/or vegan recipes - attributes that are denoted by a clear label at the top of the recipe. Some are also lower in refined sugar than normal, to suit healthier eating choices, and of course all are 100 per cent gluten free. All have step-by-step instructions to ensure success, along with a gorgeous photograph of the finished dish. More than 13 per cent of the UK population (and up to one-third in the USA) say that they currently avoid eating food containing gluten. Many of these are gluten intolerant while others find wheat-based and high-gluten products difficult to digest and simply feel better and healthier eating a diet without or containing less of these foods. An estimated one in a hundred people have coeliac disease, an incurable, lifelong, autoimmune reaction to gluten, and a similar number have a wheat allergy. For those who fall into these camps, embarking on any restricted diet can be daunting, but especially when you need to exclude all foods containing gluten. Bought ready-prepared gluten-free foods can be expensive and monotonous, and the range of basic gluten-free products such as flours and more unusual ingredients such as xanthan gum somewhat bewildering.

This book aims to show that gluten-free baking can be as delicious as ordinary baking, and suitable for sharing with even those not on a gluten-free diet. The baking is for all occasions, including parties, weddings and Christmas. With many recipes that are dairy-free too, Howard makes sure that everyone can enjoy perfect cakes, melt-in-the-mouth biscuits and gorgeous, crusty breads. His book includes practical tips on different flours and clever ideas for presentation, and is the book for anyone who wants to make gluten-free absolutely delicious!

Libbie Summers is not your run-of-the-mill cook. Growing up, she was the kind of child who dunked her potato chips into chocolate syrup to see if it might taste good (it does). That insatiable curiosity - and sweet tooth - stuck with her throughout her career as a chef and food stylist, and that is what fueled this book. Sweet and Vicious is all about exploring new taste sensations in the realm of baking. It is a no-holds-barred approach to baking outside the box, crazy, brilliant combinations. Savoury and spicy flavours come into play often, such as in Habanero Carrot Cake, Fig and Pig Pie, and Mojito Cookies. Other times, the innovation comes in the form of a cooking method or serving presentation borrowed from another side of the kitchen. In this category are Mexican Chocolate Cugs (cake baked in mugs), Dutch Oven Muffins, and Grilled Lemon Cake. There's also a healthy dose of humour sprinkled around - with recipes like Gingerbread Working Girls, Bad-Ass Pie Dough, and Bucket Cake. Essential to the philosophy is that sweets are supposed to be over the top, that there is no point in firing up the oven if you are not making something so good it hurts. So butter and sugar are dispensed with abandon, portions are ample, and serving style is always easygoing. No calorie counters, vegans, picky eaters, just-one-bite-for-me, hold-the-sauce readers allowed.
