recipes, including dishes from the menu at Rosa’s as

Chriskitch: Big Flavours from a Small
Kitchen Chris Honor & Laura Washburn
Chinatown Kitchen Recipes from the Asian supermarket
Lizzie Mabbott
Australian-born chef Chris Honor has been hailed by
Giles Coren of The Times as ‘a nailed-on culinary genius’,
running ‘the most rewarding small local restaurant I have
encountered in years’. His recipes for great salads, sweet
and savoury bakes, soups and wonderful sharing plates
are highly original but really simple to create at home
and with American-born food writer Laura Washburn he
shares 100 of his most memorable recipes. Chris writes,
‘What this book will offer the reader is an education in
balancing taste and texture, with plenty of visual
inspiration. It is as much guidebook as cookery book
because I don’t necessarily think in terms of recipes, I
think in terms of combinations. Mix up the flavours and
textures and, at the same time, make it appeal to the eye.
Be generous, make it unpredictable; this is what I do.’
South-East Asian food is more popular than ever
before but what exactly are all those items in the Asian
aisle of the supermarket? Award-winning food blogger
Lizzie Mabbott takes the mystery out of authentic
ingredients – from noodles and tofu to pickles and
preserves, explaining what they are and how to use
them. She then provides all the recipes you need to
create your own South-East Asian meals at home,
including Caramel Pork Belly, Sichuan Wontons, DIY
Kimchi, Salted Egg Butter Prawns and Black Sesame
Ice Cream with Sesame Honeycomb Brittle.
‘I’ve been writing about food for years, but even I find
the dizzying selection in Asian supermarkets
bewildering. How to differentiate between the different
sorts of tofu? When to use ho-fun or udon? How to tell
your gai lan from your choi sum? What the heck is
gochujang? And why did nobody tell me that belachan,
terasi, mam tan and kapee are all the same thing?
Lizzie Mabbott’s mission to demystify these
intimidating emporia and talk you through using their
wares in a series of delicious, accessible recipes is
inspired. And she does it with wit, clarity and humour.’
– Marina O’Loughlin, The Guardian
During his diverse career Chris has worked with a range
of world-class chefs, including Gordon Ramsay, David
Nicolas, Chris Janson and Henry Brosi. His new venture,
Chriskitch, based in Muswell Hill, north London uses his
Australian upbringing, classical French training and
world-wide experiences to create fantastically flavourful
food that has customers queuing round the block.

Experimental Cocktail Club The way we drink
Romée de Goriainoff, Olivier Bon, Pierre-Charles Cros & Xavier Padovani
Mildreds The vegetarian cookbook
After years of travelling to the Big Apple, childhood friends
Romée de Goriainoff, Pierre-Charles Cros and Olivier Bon
took the inspiration they found there to create a New
York-style bar in the heart of Paris – kicking off a cocktail
revolution in the City of Lights. In 2007 they opened the
doors to their first bar, Experimental Cocktail Club. Today,
with fourth partner Xavier Padovani, the group has awardwinning cocktail bars in Paris, London, New York and Ibiza,
all with a well-earned reputation for glamour and style.
Lively London eatery Mildreds has been serving up
delicious, budget-friendly vegetarian fare for over 25 years.
This cookbook offers over 100 tempting recipes, including
vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options.
Whether you are vegetarian or simply trying to cut down
on your meat intake, the international influences in these
recipes promise variety and flavour. There are also plenty
of clever ideas for how to adapt the dishes quickly by
adding meat, to cater for keen omnivores. Straightforward
ingredients, smart time-saving tips and easy-to-cook-athome recipes make this a book you will turn to time and
again.
From their very first concoction, Experience No. 1, to the
Pimm’s Curio, the Handsome Jack and the Negroni-inspired
Winnie the Pooh, via vintage spirit-based drinks and
cocktails for a crowd, you can explore the unsurpassed taste
of their cocktails at home with this collection of 85 very
special cocktail recipes that take inspiration from classic
American and French drinks, served with the unmistakeable
Experimental Cocktail Club flair and style.

Doga Yoga for you and your dog More Time to Think The power of independent thinking
Mahny Djahanguiri
Nancy Kline
This fun and unique take on yoga shows you how your canine
friend can help you get more from yoga sessions and, at same
time, create a bonding experience for the two of you. For your dog,
doga acts as a de-stressing activity and, for you, it encourages
focusing on control throughout the pose to ensure your dog
stays comfortable.
The quality of everything we do depends on the quality of the
thinking we do first. The leaders, professionals, parents and
teachers who understand this are at the top of their fields and
inspire some of the finest independent thinking in their
environments.
In this follow-up to the international bestseller Time to Think,
Nancy Kline shares ten effective ways to help people think for
themselves with rigour, imagination, courage and grace. From
learning that the mind works best in the presence of a question
(so never be afraid to risk being wrong) and that a key factor in
the quality of a person’s thinking is how they are treated by the
people with them while they are thinking, to the importance of
appreciation and of facing what you have been denying, Nancy
Kline shows how to create a successful Thinking Environment.
Lavish step-by-step photography and clear instructions in this
entertaining guide take you through classic yoga poses that have
been adapted so that your pet can participate. A great gift book,
which is sure to be a hit with both yoga lovers and dog owners.

RHS Grow for Flavour RHS Plants from Pips
James Wong
Pots of plants for the whole family to enjoy Holly Farrell
RHS Plants from Pips is an easy and fun introduction to gardening
for adults and children alike, showing how it is possible to grow a
range of fruit and vegetable plants, both inside and outdoors, with
little equipment, outlay or technical know-how.
Have you ever grown a batch of lovingly nurtured
tomatoes only to be disappointed by the flavour when
you harvest them? Bestselling gardening writer,
botanist and popular TV presenter James Wong is
convinced that the problem lies with current
gardening practices which create bumper harvests at
the direct expense of flavour.
Showing the reader how to grow plants from pips, seeds, and stones
that are usually thrown away in kitchen waste, this book gives new
gardeners of all ages the basic knowledge and confidence needed to
create a kitchen garden of their own.
His solution? Simply by growing the best-flavoured
varieties (which supermarkets will never be able to
sell) and treating them just a bit meaner, you will not
only get harvests with an intense flavour but also slash
the work involved. Combining cutting-edge science
with overlooked traditional techniques, this groundbreaking book lays out a series of deceptively simple
tips and tricks to measurably increase the flavour of
grow-your-own favourites like sweetcorn, strawberries
and tomatoes, at the same time revealing exciting new
foodie crops you never knew you could grow. James
also provides 40 really simple recipes for delicious
ways to eat what you’ve grown.
With James Wong’s RHS Grow for Flavour you can
halve your labour, double your harvest and be
rewarded with flavour that simply cannot be bought.
