Cook the simple and flavoursome food of the South of France with acclaimed chef Alex Jackson's Provencal. Provencal is the stunning reissue of Alex Jackson's widely acclaimed first book Sardine. This unique collection of recipes encapsulates the beauty and simplicity of Provencal French cooking and shows you how to recreate the flavours of the South of France at home. Provence and Languedoc are France's window onto the Mediterranean Sea and all that lies beyond, and the culinary influences that converge there make for a cuisine that is varied, rich and deep. The recipes are unpretentious and seasonal, highlighting Alex's belief that cooking the food of Provence is about simplicity, good ingredients and generosity of spirit. Lovingly described, the recipes evoke the South of France with their warmth and flavour; from Bouillabaisse and Autumnal Grand Aioli to a Tomato and Tapenade Tart and Nougat Ice Cream with Fennel Biscuits. The book is divided into seasons and each season contains a 'Grande Bouffe' - a set menu for a feast - so you can really impress your guests and celebrate many wonderful ingredients in one evening's cooking. Provencal promises to reignite a love affair with French provincial cooking, celebrating its multitude of influences, its focus on seasonal eating and, ultimately, an attitude to food which centres around sharing and enjoyment.

Turn pasta night from drab to exciting, tired to fresh, with 175 recipes for the best and yummiest pasta sauces imaginable. Everybody loves pasta-but not if it's made the same way night after night. Families with kids, especially, eat loads of pasta, but it's awfully easy to get stuck in a "red-sauce rut," eating one version or another of marinara sauce over and over again. Enter author Allan Bay, an expat who lives in Rome who has written some of Italy's best-selling cookbooks. Bay opens up in these pages a big, bold new world of pasta sauces, some from the classic Italian repertoire, other brilliant new creations of his own. They have all sorts of main ingredients, from beef and chicken to shrimp and clams to glorious veggies from artichokes to zucchini. All of the sauces are easy to prepare and every one cooks up fast. The Complete Book of Pasta Sauces includes: Asparagus and Pine Nut Sauce Meatball Ragout Cioppino Pesto Sauce, plus six different pesto variations Chicken Ragout Nantua Sauce with Shrimp Lamb Ragout with Porcinis Roman Cauliflower Sauce There are bowls and bowls of kid-friendly sauces and plenty of grownup sauces, too. Each recipe comes with one to three "Best On" recommendations, along with additional "Also Good On" ideas that range from different shapes of standard wheat pasta to egg noodles, polenta, rice, and more. There are suggestions, too, for serving the various sauces directly on meats, poultry, or fish-something that is very common in Italy but less familiar elsewhere. This deliciously creative book makes pasta and pasta sauces more exciting than they've ever been before.

Roti is perhaps one of India’s most versatile, yet unassuming, dishes.
Bake it on a griddle, stuff it with mashed potatoes, lather it in ghee
or butter, pair it with curries and pickles, roast it, fry it, or bake
it in a tandoor. It is made with many grains, but traditionally with
wheat flour. It is no wonder then that Roti is integral to Indian and
cuisines from other South Asian countries, such as Pakistan and
Bangladesh and a popular accompaniment in most Asian cuisine
restaurants.
