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.

In her latest cookbook, Deborah Madison, America's leading authority on vegetarian cooking and author of "Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone," reveals the surprising relationships between vegetables, edible flowers, and herbs within the same botanical families, and how understanding these connections can help home cooks see everyday vegetables in new light.
For over three decades, Deborah Madison has been at the vanguard of the vegetarian cooking movement, authoring classic books on the subject and emboldening millions of readers to cook simple, elegant, plant-based food.
This groundbreaking new cookbook is Madison's crowning achievement: a celebration of the diversity of the plant kingdom, and an exploration of the fascinating relationships between vegetables, edible flowers, herbs, and familiar wild plants within the same botanical families.
Destined to become the new standard reference for cooking vegetables, "Vegetable Literacy" shows cooks that, because of their shared characteristics, vegetables within the same family can be used interchangeably in cooking. It presents an entirely new way of looking at vegetables, drawing on Madison's deep knowledge of cooking, gardening, and botany. For example, knowing that dill, chervil, cumin, parsley, coriander, anise, lovage, and caraway come from the umbellifer family makes it clear why they're such good matches for carrots, also a member of that family. With more than 300 classic and exquisitely simple recipes, Madison brings this wealth of information together in dishes that highlight a world of complementary flavors. Griddled Artichokes with Tarragon Mayonnaise, Tomato Soup and Cilantro with Black Quinoa, Tuscan Kale Salad with Slivered Brussels Sprouts and Sesame Dressing, Kohlrabi Slaw with Frizzy Mustard Greens, and Fresh Peas with Sage on Baked Ricotta showcase combinations that are simultaneously familiar and revelatory.
Inspiring improvisation in the kitchen and curiosity in the garden, "Vegetable Literacy"--an unparalleled look at culinary vegetables and plants--will forever change the way we eat and cook.

A ground-breaking book, designed to help creative cooks develop their own recipes, from the bestselling author of The Flavour Thesaurus. One dish leads to another.

Lateral Cooking is, in a sense, the 'method' companion to its bestselling predecessor, The Flavour Thesaurus - and is just as useful, ingeniously organised and enjoyable to read.

The book is divided into 12 chapters, each covering a basic culinary category, such as 'Bread', 'Sauces' or 'Custard'. The recipes in each chapter are then arranged on a continuum, the transition from one recipe to another generally amounting to a tweak or two in the method or ingredients. Which is to say, one dish leads to another: once you've got the hang of flatbreads, for instance, then its neighbouring dishes on the continuum (crackers, soda bread, scones) will involve the easiest and most intuitive adjustment. The result is greater creativity in the kitchen: Lateral Cooking encourages improvisation, resourcefulness, and, ultimately, the knowledge and confidence to cook by heart.

Lateral Cooking is essentially a practical book, but like The Flavour Thesaurus it's also a highly enjoyable read. The 'Flavours & Variations' sections, for example, draw widely on culinary science, history, ideas from professional kitchens, observations by renowned food writers and personal recollection. Entertaining, opinionated and inspirational, Lateral Cooking will have you torn between donning your apron and settling back in a comfortable chair.
