Vegetables have never been more popular, with the interest in natural, plant-based food at an all-time high. Meanwhile, the appetite for home baking shows no signs of abating. Food writer Kate Hackworthy, author of the popular site www.veggiedesserts.co.uk, has found a delicious way to combine the two, with this book of scrumptious cakes and desserts packed full of healthy veg. Pushing the boundaries of carrot cake, Kate puts vegetables into cakes, muffins, biscuits, tarts, brownies, pastries and even ice cream. Vegetables bring moisture, natural sweetness and extra nutrients to your baking, with the happy consequence that less refined sugar and fat is required, resulting in great-tasting treats that are also a lot less naughty. With 60 original recipes, including vegan options, virtuous snacks and lighter ways to bake cakes, this book is not about sneaking veggies into recipes, but celebrating them as hero ingredients and making them as much a part of dessert as they are of dinner. Recipes include: Kale and Apple Cake with Apple Icing Butternut Squash Spiced Muffins Black Bean Chocolate Brownies Avocado Key Lime Tarts Turmeric, Carrot and Orange Ice Lollies Cauliflower Chocolate Churros Word count: Approx 25,000

R346 Discovery Miles 3 460 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Boy, do we love our s'mores. Americans buy an estimated 90 million pounds of marshmallows a year, and more than half are toasted and sandwiched with a chocolate bar between two graham crackers. Which inspired Dan Whalen to ask: What would happen if you kept the s'mores architecture - three layers of gooey, melty, and crunchy - but changed it up? The result: Salted Caramel S'mores, Lemon Meringue S'mores, Kettle Corn S'mores, not to mention the Elvis - a bacon, banana, and peanut butter s'more. In 50 playful recipes, photographed in full colour and packaged in a puffy square format reminiscent of the original formation, S'mores! completely redefines what a s'more is - and where it can be made - by designing all recipes to be made in a standard oven (adapted for an outdoor fire). Dan Whalen, who in his last book tackled another singular passion, Tots!, redefines both the filling of the s'more - ice cream, sweet potatoes, cereal, Peeps, Sriracha, figs, avocado, even a scallop (which bears some resemblance to a marshmallow) - and the "cracker" - using phyllo dough, pie crust, potato chips, and cannoli sheets. From the deliciously simple Nutella S'mores to the sophisticated Grilled Peach Basil S'mores, this book emphatically and mouthwateringly puts the more! in s'mores.

'Pastry is an art but it is also food so remember to stay in touch with your ingredients, reflect the seasons in your food and, for the love of God, don't use strawberries in December.' - Ravneet Gill. This is a book aimed at chefs and home bakers alike who FEAR baking.The message: pastry is easy. Written by pastry chef extraordinaire, Observer Food Monthly 50 and Code Hospitality 30 Under 30, Ravneet Gill, this is a straight-talking no-nonsense manual designed to become THE baking reference book on any cookery shelf. This is the written embodiment of Ravneet's very special expertise as a patisserie chef filled with the natural flair and razor-sharp wit that gives her such enormous appeal. Starting with a manifesto for pastry chefs, Ravneet then swiftly moves onto The Basics where she explains the principles of patisserie, which of ingredients you just need to know (gelatine, fresh and dried yeast, flours, sugar, chocolate, cream and butter), how to line your tins, understanding fat content, what equipment you really need, oven temperatures and variables to watch out for. This section alone will give the reader enough knowledge of baking to avoid the pitfalls so many of us take when baking. Chapters are then organised by type of patisserie: Sugar, Custards, Chocolate, Pastry, Biscuits, Cakes and Puddings. So whether you want to make a lighter-than-air birthday cake, flaky breakfast pastries, smooth and rich ice creams (or parfaits 'because parfaits are for when you're in the shit'), macarons or meringues, Ravneet will offer just the right advice to make it all seem easy.
