A long childhood friendship of authors, Daniel Rozensztroch and
Cathie Fidler was the beginning of Herring: A Love Story, which
traces the history and iconography of the cherished herring. Both
from traditional Jewish families, Daniel, an avid collector of the
herring containers that were used to marinate and serve herring,
and Cathie, a researcher who has put together a unique
documentation of herring iconography - vintage stamps, posters,
postcards, and engravings. Also included are advertisements,
paintings by famous artists, and easy-to-make traditional recipes.
Discover the history and influence of herring as told through the
eyes of two passionate collectors.
"How do you get your protein?" As a vegan, you're sure to get asked
this question often. Most likely, you've even thought about it
yourself. Vegan protein comes from things like tofu and tempeh, to
beans, nuts, and protein-rich whole grains like quinoa. There are
loads of options out there, but how to prepare them? What to put
them in? These are questions that can feel daunting, especially if
you haven't used these ingredients before. Never fear. Celine Steen
and Tamasin Noyes to the rescue! The Great Vegan Protein Book takes
you step-by-step through each protein-rich vegan food group,
providing you with valuable information on how to prepare the
ingredient along with more than one hundred delicious and easy
recipes (many of them low-fat, soy free, and gluten-free!). Each
recipe included within this cookbook uses whole food ingredients
that can be easily found at most grocery stores or farmer's
markets-no hard-to-find ingredients or things you can't pronounce.
Say yes to protein and eating better with The Great Vegan Protein
Book!
Letter from JoyI discovered that I was 'gluten intolerant' a couple
of years ago whilst I was writing 'Nosh Gluten-Free'. Friends had
asked me to write a gluten-free book, but during the process, I
realised that the stomach pains, which I had thought were due to
medication I was taking, were significantly relieved when I cut out
gluten from my diet. I was glad to find the cause of the problem,
but knew that this would make life challenging! So I began my
journey of gluten-free living with the book 'NOSH Gluten-Free' to
help me and now I have added this latest book, 'NOSH Gluten-Free
Baking'. I have to be frank and say that the 'Baking' book has been
the hardest book I have ever written; I have never had to deal with
so many failed attempts in all my years of cooking! For instance,
bread depends on gluten for its elasticity and 'bounce'. I must
have made about 50 different breads, all of which ended up in the
bin, before coming up with the new ones in this book, and my quest
still goes on to find more. During the process of writing this
book, one of the highlights would definitely be the puff pastry
recipe. When that pastry came out of the oven, with its distinct,
crispy layers, I could have done a little jig in the kitchen, right
there and then! When we find we are gluten intolerant, or
'coeliac', it can seem like a 'life sentence of no treats'. We go
into a cafe for coffee and cake and often find there is nothing we
can eat - all the 'yummy'-looking ones are full of gluten! My aim
in this book has been to reverse the 'sentence'. I have tried to
include recipes for the many things we might like to eat in the
coffee shops, as well as the regular desserts and savoury pastries
that seemed to be 'forbidden'. I hope that you enjoy cooking and
eating many of these re-found treats.
The book features a scrumptious collection of tried and trusted
recipes for gifts from your kitchen - cakes, choux puffs, cookies,
tarts, snacks and fillings with many variations, as well as several
low-carb, high-fat recipes for people on special diets (Banting,
paleo, keto, gluten free, sugar free). Master baker Katrien van Zyl
tried to focus on easy, flop-proof recipes that you can rustle up
without having to hunt for foreign ingredients. Step-by-step
photographs illustrate more complicated techniques, so that anyone
who can follow basic instructions will be able to achieve them.
Katrien also shares packaging ideas for your baked goodies and
explains ways to recycle containers and decorate them to suit any
occasion. Packed with practical hints, the book further indicates
for how long food will remain fresh at room temperature, as well as
freezing times for those who want to start preparing for special
events ahead of time. Katrien's Gifts from the kitchen is lavishly
illustrated with stunning photographs showing that the most
beautiful gifts can come from the kitchen. It has something for
everyone, whether you are the one doing the baking, or the lucky
recipient of a delicious, attractively packaged edible gift.

Cook the simple and flavoursome food of the South of France with
acclaimed chef Alex Jackson's Provencal. Provencal is the stunning
reissue of Alex Jackson's widely acclaimed first book Sardine. This
unique collection of recipes encapsulates the beauty and simplicity
of Provencal French cooking and shows you how to recreate the
flavours of the South of France at home. Provence and Languedoc are
France's window onto the Mediterranean Sea and all that lies
beyond, and the culinary influences that converge there make for a
cuisine that is varied, rich and deep. The recipes are
unpretentious and seasonal, highlighting Alex's belief that cooking
the food of Provence is about simplicity, good ingredients and
generosity of spirit. Lovingly described, the recipes evoke the
South of France with their warmth and flavour; from Bouillabaisse
and Autumnal Grand Aioli to a Tomato and Tapenade Tart and Nougat
Ice Cream with Fennel Biscuits. The book is divided into seasons
and each season contains a 'Grande Bouffe' - a set menu for a feast
- so you can really impress your guests and celebrate many
wonderful ingredients in one evening's cooking. Provencal promises
to reignite a love affair with French provincial cooking,
celebrating its multitude of influences, its focus on seasonal
eating and, ultimately, an attitude to food which centres around
sharing and enjoyment.
Celebration cakes are both more personal and more memorable when
they include a model of the person (or people) who are the focus of
the special day. With over 400 colour photographs, this book
discusses the equipment and materials required; it explains the
fundamental facial and body proportions for both adult and child
figures and shows how to achieve the basic shapes required. Also
included is information on obtaining realistic skin tones and
step-by-step photographs demonstrate how to create sitting,
standing and reclining figures. This new book demonstrates how to
create figures for wedding cakes and how to use internal armatures
for support. There are numerous ideas for completing the design of
the cake and, finally a useful list of suppliers.
