It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched within 7 - 11 working days Even the most enthusiastic cooks and food lovers have jars of dusty powders inhabiting kitchen cabinets long past their expiration dates. We often don't know much about them, where they come from, or how to use them. And yet, spices can elevate the everyday act of making and consuming food to a higher plane of experience.Spices have played an intrinsic part in the human story, running through history, geography, anthropology, politics, religion, culture, art, and design. From alligator pepper seeds, which in the Yoruba culture are given to newborn babies to taste a few minutes after birth, to charoli seeds, which are used in traditional Indian desserts eaten during the festival of Holi, and caraway seeds, which were added to medieval love potions, each spice has its own significance in the lives of the people who use it.The Grammar of Spice is a practical resource for cooks that also changes the way we understand the role spices play in defining not only our food but also our place in the world. Featuring custom illustrations for each of the more than sixty spices featured here--inspired by the work of Owen Jones, one of the great designers and travelers of his time--this beautiful, informative book celebrates the world of flavors that spices open up to us.

We've been told for so long that we are terrible cooks and yet when someone with a clipboard asks us what the best things are about being British, our traditional food and drink are more important than the monarchy and at least as significant as our landscape and national monuments in defining a collective notion of who we are. Taking nine archetypically British dishes - Pie and Peas, A Cheese Sandwich, Fish and Chips, Spag Bol, Devonshire Cream Tea, Curry, The Full English, The Sunday Roast and a Crumble with Custard - and enjoying them in their most typical settings, Pete Brown examines just how fundamental food is to our sense of identity, perhaps even our sense of pride, and the ways in which we understand our place in the world.

"You can't get around Kate Battista as easily as all that." Kate Battista is feeling stuck. How did she end up running house and home for her eccentric scientist father and uppity, pretty younger sister Bunny? And, she's always in trouble at work - her pre-school charges adore her, but the adults don't always appreciate her unusual opinions and forthright manner. Dr Battista has other problems. After years out in the academic wilderness, he is on the verge of a breakthrough. His research could help millions. There's only one problem: his brilliant young lab assistant, Pyotr, is about to be deported. And without Pyotr...When Dr Battista cooks up an outrageous plan that will enable Pyotr to stay in the country, he's relying - as usual - on Kate to help him. Kate is furious: this time he's really asking too much. But will she be able to resist the two men's touchingly ludicrous campaign to win her round? Anne Tyler's retelling of The Taming of the Shrew asks whether a thoroughly modern, independent woman like Kate would ever sacrifice herself for a man. The answer is as individual, off-beat and funny as Kate herself. "I loved Kate and Pyotr and the way they discover the oversized, tender, irreverent relationship that fits them...It is joyful." (Rachel Joyce). "Read her books and she can actually change your view, change how you see the world." (Judy Finigan, Mail on Sunday). "Tyler writes with an apparent effortlessness which conceals great art." (Helen Dunmore, Stylist). "Tyler's sentences are wholly hers, instantly recognisable and impossible to duplicate." (Hanya Yanigihara, Observer). "A new novel from Tyler is always a treat." (Daily Mail). Features Summary Kate Battista is feeling stuck.

It's Jordi Gordan's 55th birthday and she receives, as she has for every birthday for the last 15 years, a message from Nico. While her husband, Hal, cooks her a birthday breakfast, she cries over her message from Nico - because Jordi is a woman with a secret. During the course of the day, the reader follows Jordi around: to the traditional family breakfast and the handing out of gifts, then to a visit with her (now French-speaking and senile) elderly mother, to Thrupps for some groceries, to lunch with her best friend, the irrepressible Sally, and then home where she makes the final preparations for a business dinner party that evening (an unfortunate miscalculation of dates that has robbed her of a special night with Hal). As she goes about her preparations, we meet Jordi's friends and family - and we get to see how her life is carefully constructed to screen all of them from her secret. Format:paperback

George Jardine is one of the most respected and innovative fine dining chefs in South Farica. To get a table at his restaurant on Jordan Wine Estate during the summer season in the Western Cape, you need to book months in advance. Despite this, he is respected among his peers in the industry as a straight-talking chef who is important with the celebrity nonsense that cloaks the top cooks in the country. He is famous for dancing on stairs to podium at the Eat Out Awards to receive his umpteenth Top Ten award dressed in his signature cargo shorts and chef jacket. In Jardine, his eponymous first cook book, George talks about what it takes to be a chef at top of his game. First and foremost, he says, being a chef and a restaurateur is about building relationships. You need to build a rapport and a mutual understanding with your customers, so they know how to enjoy the best out of your kitchen. Then you need to find great suppliers and cement strong working relationships with them. In the pages of Jardine, George has looked back over his award-studded time as a cook in South Africa and compiled a collection of recipes which define his style as a chef. Many of them are the very dishes which keep his fans and regulars flooding back to his restaurant. He has kept nothing back, proving complete recipes which he handed out to friends and restaurants regulars to test at home before including them in Jardine. The recipes also draw on all the amazing produce that is available to us right on our doorstep in South Africe. As a Scot, married to a South African, and living in Stellenbosch he is constantly struck by just how mush beauty and wonderful produce surrounds us. Whether it's mushrooms gathered in a local forest, guavas from the tree in the garden, or fish caught in our oceans, Jardine in Filled with recipes that explore the culinary bounty of Mzansi.

For over eighty-two years, chefs in the small galley served memorable meals -- from fried chicken and crawfish en cro?te to strawberry shortcake and beignets. The Delta Queen Cookbook brings the Delta Queen's story to life with an engaging historical narrative and over 125 recipes prepared by the steamboat's former chefs during their tenures in the cookhouse. Nobles traces the story of the "Grand Old Lady" as she faced remarkable social, economic, and political challenges. The Delta Queen became a haven for illegal drinking during Prohibition, and she survived the effects of the Great Depression, World War II, and increasingly modern and sophisticated competition. Despite the obstacles, this flapper-era boat always found a seamless way to coddle passengers with cozy staterooms and delectable fare. Each chapter ends with authentic Delta Queen recipes -- including Citrus and Watercress Salad with Chili Dressing, Roast Duck and Wild Rice Soup, Speckled Trout Pecan, Eggs Crawkitty, Steamboat Pudding, and more -- proportioned and tested for home kitchens. The Delta Queen Cookbook includes interviews with former crew, chefs, and passengers; over ninety historical and full-color photographs; and vintage and modern menus. History buffs, steamboat lovers, and home cooks alike will revel in the memories and tastes that make the Delta Queen one of America's best-loved national treasures.
