In Bibby’s Kitchen – The essence of good food, Di Bibby shares food recipes that seduce and charm. This book celebrates vibrant, flavoursome food with strong Middle Eastern and Mediterranean influences. The recipes support a cook-from-scratch philosophy, guided by the intuitive prompting of seasonality, solid flavourings and visual appeal – from vegan to vegetarian, soulful soups, slow food and simple suppers to pantry staples that make everyday meals easy and effortless. The book aims at a balanced way to cook and eat, rather than exclusions and restrictive classifications.

The reader will find here a modern interpretation of cooking with bold ingredients such as za’tar, harissa, chermoula and ancient grains. Delight yourself with Shawarma chicken and spelt pilaf with zhoug yoghurt, Harrisa lentil shakshuka with foaming sesame butter, Curly kale soup with freekeh and parmesan, Cardamom crème anglaise with hibiscus-roasted guavas, and much more. The popular Cake Friday and Dessert chapters feature swoon-worthy bakes and posh puddings to impress.

Bibby’s Kitchen – The essence of good food articulates the reason why we eat. It’s unapologetically colourful and filled with exuberantly delicious food. It’s about fashioning food and flavours, but mostly it is about people. Together, they create a kind of magic.
