The official cookbook based on the hit TV series seen on Netflix
and around the world, discover mouthwatering recipes that will
transport you into the genteel world of Downton Abbey. The Official
Downton Abbey Cookbook presents over 100 recipes that showcase the
cookery of the Crawley household - from upstairs dinner party
centrepieces to downstairs puddings and pies - and bring an
authentic slice of Downton Abbey to modern kitchens and Downton
fans. Whether adapted from original recipes of the period,
replicated as seen or alluded to on screen, or typical of the time,
all the recipes reflect the influences found on the Downton Abbey
tables. Food historian Annie Gray gives a warm and fascinating
insight into the background of the dishes that were popular between
1912 and 1926, when Downton Abbey is set - a period of tremendous
change and conflict, as well as culinary development. The recipes
are grouped by occasion, which include breakfast; luncheons and
suppers; afternoon tea and garden parties; picnics, shoots and
racemeets; festivities; upstairs dinner; desserts and canapes;
downstairs dinner; downstairs supper and tea; and the still room.
From the upstairs dinner menu: Caviar Croutes Chicken Vol-au-Vents
Cucumber Soup Trout in Port-Wine Sauce Quail and Watercress
Champagne Jelly From the downstairs dinner menu: Toad-in-the-Hole
Beef Stew with Dumplings Steamed Treacle Pudding Jam and Custard
Tarts Gingerbread Cake With a foreword by Gareth Neame, executive
producer and co-creator of Downton Abbey, and featuring over 100
stunning colour photographs, many taken on the set of Downton Abbey
and using the original glassware and china, The Downton Abbey
Cookbook also includes a special section on hosting Downton-themed
dinner parties, and includes stills from across the TV series as
well as the latest film. Notes on the etiquette and customs of the
times, quotes from the characters and descriptions of the scenes in
which the foods appear provide rich context for the dishes. With
these and more historic recipes, savour the rich traditions and
flavours of Downton Abbey without end.
The word "gelato," in Italian, simply means "ice cream," but its
meaning has shifted to define a type of high-end frozen dessert,
made with milk, not cream. Gelato also has 35% less air whipped
into it than ice cream, heightening its rich mouthfeel without
tipping the scales. Gelato, in all its luxury, is simple to make at
home with a standard ice-cream maker. "Making Artisan Gelato,"
following on the heels of "Making Artisan Chocolates," will offer
45+ recipes and flavor variations for exquisite frozen desserts,
made from all-natural ingredients available at any grocery store or
farmer's market. From pureeing and straining fruit to tempering egg
yolks for a creamy base, the gelato-making techniques included in
"Making Artisan Gelato" ensure quality concoctions. Recipe flavors
run the gamut--nuts, spices, chocolate, fruit, herbs, and
more--with novel flavor pairings that go beyond your standard-issue
fare.

Given how much we eat, it's amazing that no book has ever been
devoted to toast. Here Heidi Nathan provides a true first with
contributions from Dame Maureen Lipman and Joanna Lumley. An
essential guide to tastier toast toppings featuring delicious
recipes sprinkled with anecdotes and facts on the history of toast
'Bread and water can so easily be tea and toast.' was famously
written on a tea towel and in the pages of Punch magazine in 1852
where a man cried 'No bread? Then bring me toast!' For Heidi Nathan
'it has become my guilt trip to just stick whatever is left in the
fridge on a slice of hot buttered toast. At the expense of my BMI,
this, shamefully, has become primarily how I eat.' But for her
toast is much more than a grilled slice of bread. In this book she
gives the ultimate guide to what you can put on toast. Joanna
Lumley explains her own favourite toppings which include Home-made
marmalade, quite sour, quite chunky. Marmite: and sometimes peanut
butter on top of the marmite, with watercress squashed onto the top
of that. Baked beans pronounced baked beings for no reason other
than to get an easy laugh. She is a great comedienne after all.
Toast also involves technology. The "modern" timed pop-up toaster
was created in 1919. Toasters got increasingly thinner and blended
into the late 20th century kitchen neatly, until the tide turned as
tides tend to do and bulky alloy mock art deco ones emerged.
In Jamie's 30-Minute Meals, Jamie proves that, by mastering a few tricks and being organized and focused in the kitchen, it is absolutely possible, and easy, to get a complete meal on the table in the same amount of time you'd normally spend

They include main course recipes with side dishes as well as puddings and drinks, and are all meals you'll be proud to serve your family and friends. Jamie has written the recipes in a way that will help you make the most of every single minute in the kitchen.
This book is as practical as it is beautiful, showing that with a bit of preparation, the right equipment and some organization, hearty, delicious, quick meals are less than half an hour away. You'll be amazed by what you're able to achieve.
The Real Meal Revolution was all about taking on the global obesity epidemic with a revolutionary approach to eating; it challenged ingrained beliefs, it sold (and still sells) in record-breaking numbers throughout South Africa, and it changed people’s lives.
With Raising Superheroes, the authors have now set out to revolutionise the way we feed our children. It’s time, they believe, to challenge the kids’ food industry and our old assumptions; it’s time to give our children the best nutrition possible, and the best start in life.
Raising Superheroes is not a Banting cookbook, and it doesn’t offer no-carb eating for kids. But – in advocating low-sugar, low-refined-carb, “real” food eating – it is the Real Meal Revolution’s next step towards changing the world.
