Here is a comprehensive guide to two essential culinary
ingredients.
The King of Fish, Nathan Outlaw, presents his favourite seasonal
recipes from his eponymous Port Isaac restaurant. Crowned Britain's
number 1 restaurant by The Good Food Guide in 2018 and 2019,
Restaurant Nathan Outlaw is the only fish restaurant in the UK to
hold 2 Michelin stars. In this cookbook, Nathan reveals the recipes
behind his success and offers you a chance to cook his famous fish
dishes at home. Built around the seasons in its Port Isaac home,
the book celebrates a culinary year of the village, exploring the
place, people and produce of a small but perfectly formed coastal
landscape and their contribution to the culinary excellence of
Restaurant Nathan Outlaw. Within these pages, Nathan has selected
80 of his favourite recipes that feature on the restaurant's menu.
From early spring, recipes include crab and asparagus, cuttlefish
fritters with a wild garlic soup, and plaice with mussels and
samphire. From there, Nathan travels right through the seasonal
offerings of the Cornish coastline through to late winter, when
delights include turbot, champagne and caviar, and lemon sole with
oysters, cucumber and dill. Photography from the legendary David
Loftus brings Nathan's recipes to life, offering you a chance to
experience Restaurant Nathan Outlaw at home.
After realizing he knew more about TVs than about the meat on his
plate, award-winning TV producer and amateur chef Jared Stone
purchased an entire grass-fed steer and resolved to make the best
use of it that he possibly could. Year of the Cow follows the
trials and tribulations of a home cook as he and his family try to
form a more meaningful relationship with their food and the
environment. From meeting the rancher who raised his cow to
learning how to successfully pack a freezer with cow parts, Stone
gets to know his steer and examines how previous generations ate,
delving into the ways our ancestors prepared meals and the
ethnography of cattle. Over the course of hundreds of nose-to-tail
meals shared with friends and family, Stone works his way through
his cow armed with a pioneering spirit and a good sense of humour.
He becomes more mindful of his diet and bravely confronts
challenges he never expected, like how to dry beef jerky without
making your home smell like a smokehouse, and how to find
deliciousness in the less-common cuts of cattle like the tongue and
heart, sharing a recipe at the end of each chapter. By examining
the food that fuels his life and pondering the ethics of meat
eating, Stone finds the areas where his cooking philosophy overlaps
with learning to live a life more fully.
Grains and seeds possess potent health-giving properties; they are
packed with vitamins, dietary fibre and essential amino acids, and
are known to support the immune system. But most people don't
incorporate enough of these superfoods into their diets, and they
are missing out - on both the health benefits and on the flavour!
Amy Ruth Finegold has rid herself of the health problems that
plagued her and discovered a whole new exciting way to eat by
embracing these ancient grains - from amaranth to bulgur, buckwheat
to teff. Get off to a good start with Breakfast options including
Amaranth Porridge and Pineapple Bran Muffins. Soups include the
fruity and tangy Summer Melon Soup with Tamarind, while Salads
& Snacks also make a perfect light meal - try a Wheatberry
Salad with Apples and Pecans. Satisfying Main Dishes to enjoy
include Millet-stuffed Acorn Squash and Lamb Chops with a Warm
Quinoa Apricot Salad. Seeds and grains work well in Sweet Treats,
too; try Peach Pie with a Sunflower Seed Crust or treat yourself to
Peanut Butter Quinoa Cookies.
