the joy back into life. I am a just a man on a mission to spread
love through the power of great food. CHEF JAIMEUS J. BARNES

A showcase of culinary excellence at the YTL group of hotels and
resorts, this book is much more than a restaurant review or a
recipe collection. Delving into the culture of a variety of
cuisines, stretching from Malaysia and Southeast Asia into China,
Japan and Europe, it takes readers on a gastronomic journey.
Beginning in Malaysia, the heart and home of the YTL group, it
showcases both island resorts and city heritage hotels and
restaurants, all the while giving an overview of Malay cuisine.
Recipes for traditional Malay fare are combined with some East
meets West fusion food and some innovative seafood dishes. The book
then branches further afield into the snowy wastes of Hokkaido and
the cityscape of modern Shanghai, all the while exploring both
recipes and cuisines from Japan and China. Sections on England,
Bali, Thailand and France follow - all showcasing iconic properties
in full colour photography. Foodies will savour the finest in
gastronomy with sustainable ingredients and preparations from the
simple to the complex, the natural to the exuberant. At-home chefs
will find the carefully researched signature dishes, selected by
their celebrated chefs de cuisine for authenticity, taste and
visual appeal, easy to recreate in their own kitchens. All in all,
the book is a veritable feast for the eye and the palette - and
will delight those interested in a culinary adventure.
Cooking for kids can be tricky but this book, packed with recipes
that have been tried and tested by thousands of kids, is here to
help. Feeding kids is a maze - one day they'll eat a whole cucumber
from one end to the other; for the next three weeks, they will
swear it's a slimy snozzcumber. Whether time or cash strapped, it's
all too tempting to turn to fish fingers, bangers and mash and
other kids' classics, whilst wishing it was easier to do it better
on all fronts: more exciting, more inspiring, more wholesome. If
only there was someone out there who knew how to feed kids really
well on a budget, who could inspire them to try different food, and
make it easy on the cook and easy on the pocket! Well, there is.
And Chefs in Schools would like to help. Chefs in Schools is a
charity that operates in over 80 schools and feeds up to 30,000
pupils a day. They have a plethora of renowned chefs that support

Miers, Yotam Ottolenghi, Henry Dimbleby, Prue Leith and Amelia
Freer. This cookbook stands apart from other 'cooking for kids'
cookbooks as the recipes are tried and tested on thousands of
children. They're nutritious and proven to work. This cookbook
tells the stories and shares the recipes of the people who are
helping to transform school food. Their mission is to teach
children to love and understand real food cooked from fresh
ingredients, and to inspire them not just to eat it, but to choose
it, and to learn to cook it for themselves too. Chapters include:
Breakfast, A New Way In, Midweek Suppers, Street Food & Snacks,
Feasting, Sides & Sharing, Bread, Desserts. "Bye bye boring
school dinners - this is the future of food for our kids" - Tom
Kerridge "A brilliantly inspiring book packed with seriously good
family focussed recipes. A total must have." - Thomasina Miers
When Shelley Leroux first visited her fiance's parents, they were
eating hare. After her future father-in-law took one bite, he said
to his wife (while still holding his knife and fork), "I wanted a
Saskatchewan hare. This is an Alberta hare." While Leroux wondered
if she should marry this picky man's son out of fear he would be
the same, she had no idea she would soon learn how one man
distinguished the difference between two hares-simply through
taste. And so began Leroux's foray into the international world of
cooking and tasting fabulous foods. In her collection of recipes
and stories spanning more than eighty-five years, Leroux shares not
only entertaining anecdotes about her life, but also simple recipes
that tantalize the palate and celebrate flavors from around the
world, including Belgium, Asia, and the United States. From
Waterzoie de Volaille to Oriental Meatballs to Cape Cod Turkey,
Leroux provides a delicious recipe for every palate-all while
amusing with stories about unsuccessful dinner parties, yacht club
sailboat races, the Pygmies, and vintage airplanes. The anecdotes
and recipes included in "The Secret Ingredient" will encourage both
novice and experienced cooks to explore international flavors right
in their very own kitchens
