In every dish, there is a story waiting to be tasted, a past that refuses to be forgotten, and a love that continues to nourish long after the last bite is gone.’ – Trevor Noah The debut cookbook from the lauded chef behind BiBi, the innovative and groundbreaking Indian restaurant in London beloved by critics and customers alike. Chet Sharma began his career as an academic before working as a development chef for many of the world’s best restaurants, from Mugaritz in San Sebastian, Spain, to Moor Hall in West Lancashire, in the north of England. When the time came to open his own restaurant, his heritage and background provided the inspiration for BiBi, the name being a term used affectionately throughout India to mean ‘lady of the house’, or grandmother. Yet his food is much more than an homage to authentic Indian cuisine. ‘Our food doesn’t necessarily look Indian on the plate,’ Chet says. ‘It’s modern and progressive, but if an Indian grandmother walked into the dining room and tasted a dish, she would still understand its roots.’ Sharma’s much anticipated debut cookbook weaves together recipes for 60 of his exquisitely detailed signature dishes with a series of personal essays that explore his memories of the Indian subcontinent and the personalities and dishes of his heritage. Readers will discover iconic dishes from the restaurant’s repertoire, including ‘Nimbu Pani’, ‘Wookey-hole cheese papad,’ and the signature ‘Sharmaji’s Lahori Chicken’, as well as some of Chet’s playful takes on traditional Indian dishes, such as ‘Seekh Kebabs’ and 'Alphonso Mango Lassi’. A substantial ‘Essentials’ section presents recipes for BiBi’s bespoke masalas, stocks, and other core components of the restaurant’s unique menu. BiBi The Cookbook also features reflections on the restaurant from some of its most esteemed guests, including Andoni Aduriz, Aziz Ansari, Mark Birchall, Ryan Chetiyawardana, Brett Graham, Tom Kerridge, Henrietta Lovell & Richard Hart, Trevor Noah, Olly Smith, and Hans Zimmer.
Beyond Baking is an evolution in pastry from award-winning pastry chef Philip Khoury – an exploration of how far baking can go when it’s guided by flavour, process, and purpose, rather than tradition alone. These recipes are the result of years of rethinking everything – what gives structure, what builds richness, what creates lift and tenderness – without relying on eggs, dairy, or highly processed alternatives. Instead, they use familiar, natural ingredients to achieve results that feel completely fresh: croissants that shatter, cakes that stay tender for days, savoury pies that could hold their own in any bakery window. Inside, you’ll find easier bakes like Peanut Butter Choc Chop Cookies and Light Fruit Cake, showstoppers like Pistachio and Raspberry Cream Dream and Muscovado Medovic and a dedicated chapter on laminated pastries featuring Croissants, Almond Pain au Chocolat, and other sweet risen treats like glazed Doughnuts and Pistachio Babka. The savoury chapter brings deeply satisfying options like Corn-ish Pasties, Sausy Roll and Nightshade Quiche, all made with technical care and zero shortcuts. Foundational techniques are clearly explained in The Plantry, and select new recipes include QR code tutorials to walk you through every fold, mix, and proof. Whether you’re just beginning or looking to expand your craft, Beyond Baking invites you to look again at what baking can be when it’s not copying what came before, but creating what comes next.
The Bloomsbury Group fostered a fresh, creative and vital way of living
that encouraged debate and communication (‘only connect’), as often as
not across the dining table. Gathered at these tables were many of the
great figures in art, literature and economics in the early twentieth
century: E. M. Forster, Roger Fry, J. M. Keynes, Lytton Strachey and
Virginia Woolf, among many others. Here the Bloomsbury story is told in
seven broadly chronological chapters, beginning in the 1890s and
finishing in the very recent past. Each chapter comprises a series of
narratives, many of which are enhanced with an appropriate recipe,
along with sketches, paintings, photographs, letters and handwritten
notes, and featuring original quotations throughout.

Baking Problems Solved, Second Edition, provides a fully revised follow-up to the innovative question and answer format of its predecessor. Presenting a quick bakery problem-solving reference, Stanley Cauvain returns with more practical insights into the latest baking issues. Retaining its logical and methodical approach, the book guides bakers through various issues which arise throughout the baking process. The book begins with issues found in the use of raw materials, including chapters on wheat and grains, flour, and fats, amongst others. It then progresses to the problems that occur in the intermediate stages of baking, such as the creation of doughs and batters, and the input of water. Finally, it delves into the difficulties experienced with end products in baking by including chapters on bread and fermented products, cakes, biscuits, and cookies and pastries.
