'Salads can be anything you want them to be' says Fi Buchanan. In
Seasonal Salads she showcases 52 mouthwatering recipes, one for
every week of the year. Here it is, a book that celebrates salads
in all their seasonal glory. There are hearty winter feasts (think
Roasted Mushrooms with Farro or Lacy Potatoes with Eggs & Soft
Herbs) as well as summer favourites (like Pistou Chargrilled
Courgettes and Crispy Skinned Salmon Nicoise). There are classics
and twists on classics, quick weeknight salads and
dinner-partyworthy creations. What these recipes all have in common
is Fi's trademark inventive flair, her ability to combine flavours
and textures in the cleverest of ways to make the most of what's
plentiful in each season. If you thought salads were something you
served on the side, it's time to turn over a new leaf.

Forget the rules. Just cook!
Great food doesn't have to be over-the-top, fussy, or time-intensive to
be absolutely amazing. In his debut cookbook, Nick DiGiovanni gives you
the tools to become fearless in the kitchen-and to create
unapologetically delicious meals.
Building on a foundation of staple recipes such as basic pasta dough
and homemade butter, Nick shares a mouth-watering selection of his
favorite recipes including Custard Yogurt Toast, Grilled Peach Burrata
Salad, Smoked Bacon Carbonara, and his signature Master Chef Chocolate
Crack Pie.
Of course, making staples from scratch is great, but Nick shows you how
to make the most of a store-bought rotisserie chicken, too.
If you've never done more than boil water for pasta, this book is for
you. If you can confidently whip up a multi-course meal, this book is
for you. With his signature charm and humor, Nick shares advice, tips,
and tricks for cooks of any level. Unsure how to pronounce "gnocchi"?

Knife Drop also includes Nick's expert advice on equipment,
ingredients, and techniques, so home cooks of any ability level can
pick up some new skills. Explore a library of QR codes linking to video
