Brunch should evoke a sense of pleasure and relaxation - and
perhaps also the temptation to try something new. Food writer and
broadcaster Ghillie Basan offers 50 recipes in seven themed
sections: brunch in a bowl, brunch with eggs, brunch on bread,
baked potato brunch, sweet-tooth brunch and boozy brunch. Featuring
Scottish ingredients in traditional recipes as well as imaginative
combinations - from herring in oatmeal with creamy scrambled eggs
and cranachan smoothie to pancetta scallops with Caesar salad
bruschetta and bacon butties with honey gooseberries - this little
book is the perfect inspiration for those days when time is more
generous and food less rushed.

A Garden of Herbs by Eleanour Sinclair Rohde. This book is
primarily intended for those who are going to create an old
fashioned herb garden, and who want to know how to use these herbs
as our great grandmothers did: but even if you buy your herbs at
the store, this practical handbook will show you how to make
hundreds of teas, syrups, conserves, pies, candied flowers and
leaves, wines, sweet waters and perfumes from well known wild and
garden herbs that are readily available. Most of the recipes are
taken from old English herbals (Gerard's herbal, John Evelyn's
Acetaria, Coles Art of Simpling and many others) and the author one
of the two or three most outstanding herbalists of this century
adds many more of her own. Miss Rohde first provides a brief
historical description of the herb garden, discussing some of the
major books on herbs that have been written in England since the
Anglo-Saxon Bald's leech book. Then in a long chapter entitled
"Sundry of herbs" she lists the common herbs in alphabetical order,
giving descriptions, recipes, hints on preservation, etc, for each
one. There are recipes in this chapter for such dishes as artichoke
pie, chervil broth, pickled cow slips, dill pickles, marigold
pudding, nettle spinach, sauce eglantine (from roses), tarragon
vinegar, violet cakes and wormwood brandy. There is an entire
chapter on salads made with all kinds of herbs, which includes
recipes for vinegar and mustard. ther chapters cover herb pottages
and puddings, drinks and homemade wines (from mint, currants,
lemons, dandelions, blackberries, sage, apples, gooseberries,
apricots, turnips, etc) and some additional recipes- almond milk,
beet-root biscuits, parsnip cakes, potato pie, and many more
unusual herb foods. A practical chapter on the picking and drying
of herbs and a final chapter on the use of herbs for scents (in
pomanders, ointments, bath waters, eau de cologne and other
perfumes) complete the volume. Miss Rohde's charming presentation
and the ease with which her herbal lends itself to hours of
browsing, will make this book a source of delight for anyone
interested in plants or their lore.
'This beautiful book, written collectively by a whole family about
their shared passion and business, celebrates the irreplaceable
savoury edge of salt - in its flakiest most appetising form. And
the recipes are irresistible too.' - HUGH FEARNLEY-WHITTINGSTALL
After 20 years of making award-winning Halen Mon sea salt, the
Lea-Wilson family have put together a collection of recipes on how
to showcase this often misunderstood and misused ingredient.
Learning to season properly is what separates a good cook from a
great one. It isn't a simple case of how much is added but also
when these crystals are used: at the beginning of meal prep to help
sunny tomatoes sing; coating your meat just before cooking to help
the salty char form and the meat stay juicy; or right at the very
end, scattered over a chocolate torte to make it all the more
chocolate-y. Brine, cure and pickle your way through this book,
learning to use salt in new ways to make everyday food more vibrant
and flavourful. From a sophisticated fennel and almond lasagne to
toasted milk cookies, delicate salt marsh lamb to juicy black
pepper brined corn, this book brings new techniques and a breath of
fresh inspiration to your plate. With every bit as much attention
paid to vegetables and sweet dishes, as well as meat and fish, and
beautiful photography shot on location on the wild island of
Anglesey throughout, this book celebrates the most important
ingredient in your kitchen.
