When Grace Young was a child, her father instilled in her a lasting
appreciation of "wok hay, " the highly prized but elusive taste
that food achieves when properly stir-fried in a wok. As an adult,
Young aspired to create that taste in her own kitchen. Her quest to
master wok cooking led her throughout the United States, Hong Kong,
and mainland China. Along with award-winning photographer Alan
Richardson, Young sought the advice of home cooks, professional
chefs, and esteemed culinary teachers like Cecilia Chiang, Florence
Lin, and Ken Hom. Their instructions, stories, and recipes,
gathered in this richly designed and illustrated volume, offer not
only expert lessons in the art of wok cooking, but also capture a
beautiful and timeless way of life.
A kitchen is no different from most science laboratories and cookery may properly be regarded as an experimental science. Food preparation and cookery involve many processes which are well described by the physical sciences. Understanding the chemistry and physics of cooking should lead to improvements in performance in the kitchen. For those of us who wish to know why certain recipes work and perhaps more importantly why others fail, appreciating the underlying physical processes will inevitably help in unravelling the mysteries of the "art" of good cooking.
This is a facsimile of a book first published in 1755 by the owner of a cookery school in Edinburgh. It is provided with an historical introduction by Peter Brears who places the work in the context of what we know about early Scottish cookery literature as well as the particular context of this book, found in the library of Paxton House, a mid-18th century Adam mansion in the Scottish borders. It is a useful marker of the state of Scottish cookery at the time, as well as full of excellent and enticing recipes. It is published in collaboration with The Paxton Trust, the present owners of Paxton House.

'My approach to food favours intuition over strict rules and is about using your hands, rushing a little less and savouring the details. It is food that slowly weaves its way into the fabric of your daily life - food for living and sharing.' Julia Busuttil Nishimura has gained a strong and loyal following for her generous, uncomplicated, seasonal food. Her interpretations of dishes from Italy and the Mediterranean feel both timelessly familiar and altogether fresh and new. This is modern Australian eating with respect for the past.Julia guides us through the uniquely satisfying experience of making pasta or pizza dough from scratch, with recipes such as ricotta tortelloni with butter, sage and hazelnuts or taleggio and potato pizza. She also shares plenty of flavourful salads and simple meals for days when time is scarce, such as roasted cauliflower and wheat salad or tray-roasted chicken with grapes, olives and walnuts. Baking and desserts, too, needn't be overly complicated. As Julia shows us, some of the best recipes are those that have been passed down the generations and streamlined to perfection along the way, such as the perfect lemon olive oil cake. But we also need the odd show-stopper like a chocolate layer cake with espresso frosting on standby for special occasions!This is simple food that is comforting and generous in spirit. Slow down, take your time and enjoy it.
