TikTok sensation and beloved home cook Nadia Caterina Munno, a.k.a.
The Pasta Queen, presents a cookbook featuring the signature pasta
tips and tricks that are 100% authentic to Italian traditions-and
just as gorgeous as you are. In the first-ever cookbook from TikTok
star and social media sensation Nadia Caterina Munno-a.k.a. The
Pasta Queen-Nadia is opening the recipe box from her online
trattoria to share the dishes that have made her pasta royalty. In
this delectable antipasto platter of over 100 recipes, cooking
techniques, and the tales behind Italy's most famous dishes (some
true, some not-so-true), Nadia will guide you through the process
of creating the perfect pasta, from a bowl of naked noodles to a
dish large and complex enough to draw tears from the gods. Whether
it's her viral Pasta Al Limone, a classic Carbonara, or dish that's
entirely Nadia's-like her famous Assassin's Spaghetti-The Pasta
Queen's recipes will enchant even the newest of pasta chefs.
Featuring a colourful tour of Italy through stunning photographs
and celebratory tales of the country's rich culinary heritage,
along with stories about Nadia's own life and family, The Pasta
Queen is a cookbook that will warm your heart, soothe your soul,
and spice up your life. And best of all? It's just gorgeous.
The original hardback gained universal praise; 'A fascinating
account' said the TLS; echoed by national and local press; 'A
fascinating book full of off-beat information', wrote Derek Cooper.
This book looks beyond the brilliant colours of the sweet-shop
shelf and consider the ingenuity of sugar boiling and the
manufacture of those intriguing avatars of childhood happiness: the
humbug, the gobstopper, the peardrop and the stick of rock. As well
as a history, it is also a recipe book, with twenty tried and
tested methods for sweets ancient and modern. Who has not wondered
how they got the marbling into humbugs and the fantastic patterns
into Just William's gobstoppers? The byways of knowledge that are
illuminated make this so rewarding. Did you know how they got the
letters into rock? How they twisted barley sugar? The difference
between fudge and tablet? The connection between humbugs and an
Arab sweet from 13th-century Spain (where it was borrowed it from
the Persians)?

and incredibly elegant. Ollie may be Michelin-starred but in this
book he doesn't use complicated techniques or tools. He simply
shares his intuitive approach to balancing, layering and tweaking
ingredients to create perfect results time and again.
A fuss-free, downright delicious collection of recipes for pies, cookies, brownies, cakes, and more—from “pastry queen” Nicole Rucker, chef/owner of Los Angeles’s Fat + Flour.
Fat + Flour is a celebration of the delights that abound when these two simple ingredients come together. Famed for her rustic desserts, homespun pies, and unique flavor combinations, Nicole Rucker is revered as one of America’s best bakers, and in this baking bible she shares the accessible, unfussy recipes that made her name.
From Rucker’s legendary pies—White Chocolate Banana Cream Pie! Stone Fruit Party Pie!—to cookies (Boozy Banana Snickerdoodles!), bars (Abuelita Milk Chocolate Brownies!), loaf cakes (Zucchini and Date Loaf Cake!), and much more, the book is a treasure trove of treats (including not one, not two, but five different chocolate chip cookies, six kinds of brownies, six unique apple pies, and five distinctly different banana breads).
Rucker gives readers everything they need to make bakery-quality baked goods at home—but without the fuss, in part thanks to what she calls the Cold Butter Method, a low-effort technique for melding fat and flour that produces perfect cookies and the tenderest pie dough every time. A cookbook guaranteed to take your baking to the next level.

The multimillion dollar food industry has used their vast resources to
target parents, convincing them that it’s difficult to feed their
children good food. But here’s the truth: parenting is difficult, but
feeding your children simple, healthy, real food shouldn’t be.
As parents, we all want the best for our kids. It’s also our
responsibility to teach our children about food. We obviously cannot be
with them their entire lives, and they will be independently exposed to
many different foods over the course of their lives, but we can teach
them how to make the best choices.
In The Food Babe Family Cookbook, best-selling author Vani Hari
provides readers with all of the tools, information, and recipes they
need to feed their children in a way that will foster a love for real
food and set them up for a life of healthy eating. In it, Vani dispels
popular myths about feeding our kids; offers more than 100 delicious
recipes that make it simple to put healthy, real food on the table; and
helps parents start children on a lifelong path of making good food
choices.
Includes tips and tricks, such as how to:
· navigate the food in schools and day care centers
· deal with "picky eaters"
· make mealtime fun for kids, without the processed foods
· and more!
