and a rolling pin, home cooks can recreate 15 classic pasta shapes,
spanning simple pappardelle to perfect tortelloni. Beginning with
four foundational doughs, American Sfoglino takes readers step by
step through recipes for a variety of generous dishes, beginning
with essential sauces and broth, like Passata di Pomodoro (Tomato
Sauce) and Carne di Brodo (Meat Broth) to luscious Tagliatelle in
Bianco con Proscuitto (Tagliatelle with Bacon) and Lasagna Verde
alla Bolognese (Green Bolognese Lasagna). Stories from Italy and
the kitchen at Felix Trattoria add the finishing touches to this
master class in pasta, while sumptuous photographs and bold package
offer a feast for the eyes.

Whisky is Scotland's national drink and has been for over five
hundred years, since then becoming a global phenomenon. It is a
drink that is a profound and important part of Scottish life and
culture but, unlike other countries and their national libations,
it has hardly been used in food. Rachel McCormack is going to
change that with this book. Limiting whisky to a drink, she
believes, is similar to the traditional Presbyterian attitude to
sex; it should only be done with the lights off and in the
missionary position. Rachel believes that there is an entire Karma
Sutraof whisky use out there and she has put it in this book.
Interspersing an engaging mix of anecdotes, history and information
on distillers and recipes, this book will appeal to everyone from
the cooking whisky connoisseur, to the novice whisky learner
looking for some guidance on what to eat and cook. Rachel travels
the length and breadth of Scotland, discovering a myriad of unique
and interesting people and facts about this remarkable drink, with
interviews with the key people who create it around the country, as
she visits the famous distilleries of her country, as well as the
more home-grown variety.

"Inspiring, thoughtful and incredibly useful. Selin Kiazim thinks
like a chef but writes for cooks everywhere." - Diana Henry "Once
again Selin has created a truly impressive mouth-watering entity.
It's fabulous and well-written, thoughtful and generous in its
information." - Peter Gordon Three looks at the magic elements that
make a plate of food truly come into its own: acid, texture and
contrast - the fundamental building blocks that will transform a
modest dish into the star of the show. Chef Selin Kiazim gives you
the know-how on how to use ingredients from the store cupboard or
fridge and combine them in a way that elevates every single
element. Whether you want a simple midweek meal or a centrepiece to
blow your guests' socks off, there's something for all occasions.
Starting with a guide to the basic foundations of a dish, along
with clever ideas for pickles, dressings and condiments to get the
balance right, the recipes are then divided by type of food -
alliums, beans, greens, pulses and grains, brassicas, fruit,
nightshades and mushrooms, nuts, poultry and meat, seafood, and
roots and tubers. Selin's recipes show that a meal can be so much
more than the sum of its parts through the simple guidelines of
using acid, texture and contrast in each dish.
We've all spent a little more time at home recently and this has
meant we've a new-found appreciation for what lunch represents to
us: a break, excitement, something that isn't typing emails or Zoom
meetings. Without the crutch of highstreet chains, we've had to
start fending for ourselves and this means endlessly trying to come
up with different, filling and nutritious meals for our family and
ourselves. But there are only so many great ideas about what you
can put between two slices of bread or do with an egg and a piece
of toast. Lunch is the best way to brighten your day, but it
involves a level of imagination we don't have the time for. This is
where Let's Do Lunch steps in. You can decide how much time you
want to dedicate to your lunch, then pick a straightforward,
satisfying meal and get cracking. At the heart of this book is this
lack of fuss. There will be no challenging techniques, hard-to-find
ingredients or decadent cooking times. Just quick, accessible and
clever recipes that will have you wondering how on earth you
managed to make something so delicious in so little time. The book
is filled with encouraging tips and tricks to help energise and
transform your cooking experience from something you have to do
into something you look forward to doing. All recipes are all light
on meat and fish, with the emphasis on fresh vegetables, grains,
cheese and nuts so you can feel energized right through to till
dinner. Ditch the al desko and make a ritual out of lunch again.
Delicious and full of the summer's sun, squash and zucchini are
aromatic and unexpectedly versatile. They are the perfect fruit to
spice up a meal or snack, or perhaps used as side dishes and
desserts as well. Of course, in the pumpkin's case, it may also be
decorated with a ghoulish or smiling faced jack-o'-lantern for
Halloween. However, if you prefer to cook with pumpkins, recipes
presented will help you process these large fruits in a practical
manner. Zucchini grows well in every garden and may be served raw,
cooked, fried, or grilled.Thirty-five recipes ranging from soups,
chili, and quiche to strudel and muffins use these wonderful
fruits. Creatively, pumpkins and zucchini can spice up antipasto
salad, sandwiches, pancakes, and omelets. Enhancing each recipe are
nutritional facts, cooking tips, and 67 superb color images.

and Nirit's recipes open the door to many fusions and intermingling
flavours from the Middle East to South America. A book that keeps
in mind the local, the recipes with easy-to-source ingredients make
it accessible to everyone. 'There is something magical that happens
at Olami every day, whether it be the flavours we combine, the
music that streams through the sound of sizzling and steaming and
bubbling, the voices of our customers and friends and family, the
arrival and departure of our suppliers - the consistent flow of
work and production all adds up to a melting pot of powerful
elements that nourish the team and the customers in the most
inspiring way. The intention behind Olami and my life is to be as
connected to nature as nature is to us. We at Olami are incredibly
humbled at this opportunity to share the food we love with
everyone.' - Nirit Saban In the book one will find classic recipes

different combinations to create meals with flair and flavour. One
can roast butternut with a glaze of honey and sprinkled toasted
sesame seeds or one can mash the butternut and top it with loads of

Physician and popular New York Times contributor Aaron Carroll
mines the latest evidence to show that many "bad" ingredients
actually aren't unhealthy, and in some cases are essential to our
well-being. Advice about food can be confusing. There's usually
only one thing experts can agree on: some ingredients--often the
most enjoyable ones--are bad for you, full stop. But as Aaron
Carroll explains, if we stop consuming some of our most demonized
foods, it may actually hurt us. Examining troves of studies on
dietary health, Carroll separates hard truths from hype, showing
that you can Eat red meat several times a week. Its effects are
negligible for most people, and actually positive if you're 65 or
older. Have a drink or two a day. In moderation, alcohol may
protect you against cardiovascular disease without much risk. Enjoy
a gluten-loaded bagel from time to time. It has less fat and sugar,
fewer calories, and more fiber than a gluten-free one. Eat more
salt. If your blood pressure is normal, you may be getting too
little sodium, not too much. Full of counterintuitive, deeply
researched lessons about food we hate to love, The Bad Food Bible
is for anyone who wants to forge eating habits that are sensible,
sustainable, and occasionally indulgent.

"Once again, Ed Smith has done something really smart. Cooking the
flavours we are craving in any given moment, the resulting book feels
so novel and fresh. Ed's writing is thoughtful and conversational; his
recipes confident and delicious." Yotam Ottolenghi
6 Flavour Profiles. Over 100 recipes. Every craving covered.
Why do we choose to cook the things we do, when we do? Most of the
time, it is simply so we can eat what we really fancy; a subconscious
response to a constantly fluctuating state of mind and appetite that s
influenced by mood, season, weather, memory, occasion, outside events
and internal feelings.
Ed Smith helps his readers home in on their cravings (whatever the
reason for them) by organising his recipes within six cleverly
conceived flavour profiles: fresh and fragrant chilli and heat tart and
sour curried and spiced rich and savoury; and (best of all?) cheesy and
creamy. There s also a directory of alternative cravings at the back,
providing additional ways in. All bases are covered, from snacks
through sides, to main courses and puddings.
Think of fermented and fresh tomato salad with feta for when both sun
and cook are already smiling; or lamb chops with cacio e pepe white
beans if in need of a re-set; the likes of 'nduja spatchcock chicken,
should a tickle of chilli be in order; or curried brisket noodles to
meet spice needs. Whether we want snap and crunch or velvet softness,
sharp citrus or warming aromatics, or just something involving
bubbling, molten cheese, CRAVE presents a fresh take on seasonal
cookery, but goes beyond that too acknowledging core instincts and base
itches, and so delivering recipes you ll want to make every day of the
week, whatever the weather or mood.
