Plenty of people talk about farm-to-table dining these days. But on
Vancouver Island and the surrounding Gulf Islands, it's truly a way
of life. And why not, when there is so much abundance to choose
from? From the Comox Valley to the Cowichan to Salt Spring Island,
you'll find everything from truffles to tea, passion fruit to Pinot
Noir, water buffalo to the most delicately briny oysters. Island
Eats is a tribute to the vibrant food culture of Vancouver Island
and the Gulf Islands and the celebration of a passionate culinary
community built on the edge of a continent. Whether they're
shucking oysters and rolling pasta just for you, pouring you a
glass of local wine, telling you about the best surf beach or
hiking trail or the cool new craft brewery in town, the chefs,
mixologists, and food artisans profiled in this cookbook have
contributed to the heartfelt food traditions of a rare culinary
destination. Featuring more than 80 signature dishes, from a
classic salmon chowder to island-foraged chantarelle risotto, apple
pie waffles to bannock ice-cream sandwich, this inspired collection
boasts locally-minded, soul-satisfying dishes that readers will
want to make again and again.
A New York Times Bestseller Matty Matheson, star of Viceland's It's
Suppertime and Dead Set On Life, reveals his favorite recipes and
stories in a cookbook that his devoted fans have been waiting for.
Matty Matheson is known as much for his amazing food as his love
for life, positive mental attitude, and epic Instagram account.
This debut cookbook is about Matty's memories of the foods that
have defined who he is. With a drive to share his zest for life, he
creates dishes within these pages that reinterpret the flavors of
his youth in Canada, as well as the restaurant fare for which he
has become so well-known. Interpretations of classics like Seafood
Chowder, Scumbo: Dad's Gumbo, and Rappie Pie appear alongside
restaurant recipes like Bavette, Pigtail Tacos, and his infamous
P&L Burger. This is a very personal cookbook, full of essays
and headnotes that share Matty's life-from growing up in Fort Erie,
exploring the wonders of Prince Edward Island, struggling and
learning as a young chef in Toronto, and, eventually, his rise to
popularity as one of the world's most recognizable food
personalities. His no-nonsense approach to food makes these recipes
practical enough for all, while his creativity will entice seasoned
cooks. This book is like cooking alongside Matty, sharing stories
that are equal parts heartwarming and inappropriate while helping
you cook dishes that are full of love. Matty Matheson: A Cookbook
is a new collection of recipes from one of today's most beloved
chefs.

master of accessible cooking that looks good and makes you feel
good. She is obsessed with simple recipes that encourage you to
cook from scratch most nights of the week. Speed and simplicity are
key. 'As a chef I talk to people about food every day. People talk
to me in person, on Instagram and they even stop me in the street
to chat about food - I absolutely love it! They love to swap
recipes, tell you their food preferences and where to buy the
greatest ingredients, but the number one topic is time, and how
much or how little they have, and how that affects what they cook
and when they cook it. Every other part of our lives is timed very
carefully. How long we sleep, how much time we should spend
exercising, how long it takes us to get to work. But cooking... It
depends how long you've got, or how much time you are willing to
spend. I live fairly remotely and make dinner most nights rather
than eating out or having takeaways, so this book is my answer to
whether I have 10, 20 or 30 minutes to cook supper.' Praise for
Clodagh's Weeknight Kitchen: 'Clodagh McKenna's simple yet
spectacular dishes make every day special. Delicious, effortless,
show-stopping recipes.' Daily Mail 'The most cookable cook book of
the year.' William Sitwell, The Telegraph 'Really easy recipes that
will impress.' The Times Magazine

A REISSUE OF THE 2018 COOKBOOK 'Jane knows what we want: dishes

you can find' Prue Leith The Get-Ahead Cook is packed full of easy,
uncomplicated and foolproof recipes to take the stress out of
cooking. Divided into six chapters: `Starters & Small Plates',
`Brunching & Lunching', `Easy Suppers & Comforting Food',
`Feasts for Friends', `Salads & Sides' and `Sweet Things',
these dishes are all contemporary and beautifully presented, yet
deceptively simple. Importantly for the home cook, they all have
get-ahead elements to spread and lighten the load, making them
invaluable for everyday cooking and especially for entertaining.
Jane's tried-and-tested hints and tips throughout the book offer a
confidence-boosting guiding hand to home cooks of all levels.
Peter Brears has a long acquaintance with jellies in every guise.
He was fed them in childhood, he turned to curating their moulds
and associated artefacts while director of York and Leeds museums,
he has made them for innumerable historical food shows and events.
And jelly is a much bigger thing than some packet from the
supermarket mixed with boiling water. In the first place, it was
not factory-made gelatine that did the setting, but any number of
ingenious adaptations of kitchen materials and ingredients. In the
second, it was not just a simple clear, coloured solid, but an
optical prism to show off and transform the foods contained within
it. It was the old cooks' greatest resource for introducing colour,
variety and delight into the table display. The book sketches in
the history of jellies, particularly in England, and discusses
their place within a meal; gives several recipes based on the
various setting agents (carrageen, gelatine, isinglass) and also
for cereal moulds (flummery, tapioca, semolina, rice, cornflour,
etc.); describes how jellies may be assembled by layering,
embedding, lining and inclusion of fruit, nuts, gold, etc.; and
gives an excellent illustrated account of the various forms of
jelly moulds.
