'This book is a much-needed, unique and very practical guide to how
you can use the new knowledge of the gut microbes to improve your
health as well as developing and expanding your skills in the
kitchen.' Tim Spector 'It is impossible to read this book without
wanting to scuttle off into the kitchen.' Nigella Lawson Foreword
by Tim Spector The benefits of sourdough are well known - the slow
fermentation process creates a healthier and lighter dough that is
easier to digest - but until now they have been mainly linked to
bread. If it rises, however, it can be made with sourdough, and in
this ground-breaking new book, Vanessa Kimbell focuses on sweet
sourdough bakes that not only nourish the gut but also improve your
mood. Using a variety of flours, including chestnut, spelt and
einkorn, as well as blends you can make up yourself, the classic
recipes and new ideas for flavour combinations cover everything
from cakes, tarts and biscuits, to doughnuts, brioche and pretzels,
and rely on natural sweetness wherever possible. Recipes include
Morello Cherry Shortbread, Chocolate, Tangerine & Pistachio
Cakes, Carrot & Walnut Cake, Doughnuts and Mille-feuille as
well as vinegars, compotes, cultured creams, butters and ghee.
There is even Chocolate, Almond & Hazelnut Spread and Sourdough
Vanilla Ice Cream. Vanessa also explains how sourdough helps to
maintain the health and diversity of your gut microbiome. From
understanding the benefits of having diversity in your diet to the
amazing work of enzymes, this book is about understanding the
connection between our food, gut microbiome and the potential
impact on our mental health. New studies are unveiling links
between the microorganisms in our gut and our mood and behaviour,
and Vanessa is at the forefront of this research. 'Britain's queen
of sourdough.' - Telegraph 'Vanessa Kimbell wants to change the
bread we eat, one loaf at a time. She's the real deal: a total
inspiration.' - Diana Henry 'Just five years ago if someone said to
you that they were writing a book about sourdough bread and mental
health you would have thought they needed psychiatric help. Today
nobody is laughing as the latest science tells us that microbes are
the key link between food and the health of our mind and bodies.' -
Tim Spector, author of The Diet Myth

Roti is perhaps one of India’s most versatile, yet unassuming, dishes.
Bake it on a griddle, stuff it with mashed potatoes, lather it in ghee
or butter, pair it with curries and pickles, roast it, fry it, or bake
it in a tandoor. It is made with many grains, but traditionally with
wheat flour. It is no wonder then that Roti is integral to Indian and
cuisines from other South Asian countries, such as Pakistan and
Bangladesh and a popular accompaniment in most Asian cuisine
restaurants.
In Roti, author Anuradha Ravindranath introduces the reader to the
different facets of this unprepossessing flatbread. She draws on her
memories as a child, of her mother buying whole wheat grain at a
market, of it drying on the rooftop of their Delhi home, of the trips
to a nearby mill so that it is ground into fresh, warm flour, and the
fluffy rotis fresh off the pan that was an enduring staple for lunches.
In doing so, Anuradha Ravindranath skilfully weaves her memories of the
flatbread with over 90 delicious recipes and turns the humble roti into
a delightful, glamorous showstopper. Packed with photographs, the book
will feature accompaniments to rotis by way of dips and pickles, as
well as easy-to-follow tips in classic DK style.
