How to Butter Toast

Rhymes in a book that help you to cook

Tara Wigley, Illustrated by Alec Doherty

•With a foreword written by Yotam Ottolenghi

•A beautifully packaged gift book perfect for cooks of all levels – learning how to make your food taste great has never been so fun

•With over a decade of experience with the Ottolenghi Test Kitchen and bestselling cookbooks under her belt, Tara is a trusted and well-respected member of the food community

How to Butter Toast is the antidote to cookbook-overload; it is a recipe book without any recipes. In this collection of fun and entertaining rhymes, Ottolenghi co-writer Tara Wigley makes cooking with ease a cinch for cooks of all levels. Perfect your roasts, bakes, sauces and cocktails with this gorgeous gift book.

Melted butter on hot toast and served up on a plate. It seems like nothing, really, could be clearer or more straight. But though, in terms of things required, the number is just two, there is a lot of wiggle room for what there is to do.

As the in-house writer of Team Ottolenghi over the last decade Tara Wigley has cowritten eight major books, including millionselling Ottolenghi Simple and Falastin. In addition to these, she writes the weekly Ottolenghi Guardian column and the monthly column in the New York Times. She has a dedicated following on Instagram and writes about food in ways that audiences find engaging and informative. She was a judge on the 2022 Fortnum & Mason Food & Drink awards.

Cook, author and Team Ottolenghi writing partner Tara Wigley had been to cookery school, read hundreds of cookbooks and developed recipes for over a decade. Yet she found herself confused. The fewer the ingredients in a recipe, Tara found, the more confusion there was about how best to make it. In How to Butter Toast Tara examines the many ways in which an everyday dish can be made. The result is a collection of rhymes that will enlighten and entertain, reassure and ultimately liberate the culinarily confused. This is a recipe book without any recipes, and one that will equip you with the confidence to cook great food instinctively.

The rhymes provide reassuring – and memorable – answers to the culinary conundrums we often face: How long should I boil an egg? What’s the best way to crush garlic? How do I make mayonnaise, a martini or indeed the perfect cup of tea? Tara’s playful take on these food quandaries seems effortless but belies her knowledgeable and carefully researched approach to cooking.

Beautifully packaged with bold and witty illustrations throughout, How to Butter Toast is the perfect gift for cooks of all levels – with Tara’s knowledge behind them to revolutionise the way they cook. This is the first book in a series Tara is publishing with Pavilion.

‘I can't think of many food authorities who can string together words which are as poignant and profound as they are entertaining and ear-pleasing.’ -Yotam Ottolenghi

Fun and wise, Tara manages to capture the kinds of the things we cogitate about – sometimes without even knowing! – and provides reassuring answers to those confusing everyday conundrums. A collection for when you are weary of recipes and cooking, but not of life itself!’ – Helen

Frontieres

Food and Cooking from the French Borderlands

Alex Jackson

•Alex Jackson is a well-known chef with lots of connections in the food industry.

•Alex's first book, ‘Sardine’, garnered attention and endorsements from Bee Wilson, Diana Henry and the ‘Telegraph’ among many others.

Explore the food of France's borderlands with acclaimed chef Alex Jackson in his second cookbook Frontières.

This is a book about the cooking of France’s borderlands: from the geographical to the historical, linguistic and metaphorical. In it, Alex Jackson sets out to investigate the cooking of these borderland areas with a view to exploring the similarities between the food on either side of the borders. From the Riviera, where the border has shifted many times but the cooking remains of a delicious whole, to the Occitan valleys of the Italian Alps, the Franco-German cooking of Alsace, and Marseille, one of the most important ports of the Mediterranean, and its historic (and current) links with North Africa.

Alex explores how French cuisine has been influenced through history and that many of these dishes are part of a shared tradition of western European and Mediterranean cookery.

Alex Jackson's passion for French cuisine was ignited by a year in Paris as part of his French degree at university, which served as an introduction to what simple French food really was. After working at Stevie Parle's Dock Kitchen, his interest journeyed further south to Provence, where from the surplus of sunkissed vegetables, fresh herbs, and good olive oil his restaurant Sardine was born.

With rave reviews from Fay Maschler, Grace Dent, Diana Henry, Marina O'Loughlin and Tom Parker Bowles, Sardine was established as a favourite on the London food scene. Alex is now head chef at Noble Rot Soho, which opened in Autumn 20 with much excitement.

With over 80 mouth-watering recipes and fascinating introductions to each region, Frontières will take you on a delicious gastronomic journey through France's varied borderlands, adding many interesting dishes to your repertoire along the way.

Supa Ya Ramen

Ramen Reinvented

Luke Findlay

•‘How to Build a Bowl’ layout: ramen recipes are accessible for a ramen novice and broken down into buildable instructions of the different elements, e.g., flavoured oil, seasoning, miso, soup, pickles, toppings, noodles (similar to the back pages of Roasting Tin books).

•Luke doesn’t claim to make a traditional Japanese bowl of ramen; the appeal lies in Supa-Ya’s signature bowls of untraditional ramen toppings and broths, which his restaurant patrons are regularly very happy to queue down the road for! After the success of his first bricks and mortar site, he has just opened his second one in Peckham.

•The book is packed with recipes to suit everyone – vegan and veggie recipes include his infamous celeriac broth, which rivals any pork tonkotsu around!

Supa Ya Ramen founder Luke Findlay shares the secret to bringing a little part of Japan (by way of Hackney) into your kitchen with step-by-step breakdowns of how to create his deliciously famous and ‘traditionally unauthentic’ bowls of ramen.

Ramen is a very easy food to make – you don’t need fancy gadgets and you can find the basic elements to put a bowl together in pretty much any kitchen. Luke’s simple steps to building the perfect bowl by considering each element – flavoured oils, pickles and ferments, seasonings, broths, and toppings – allow any ramen lover to enjoy warming and flavourful bowls of goodness with ease at home.

Having fallen hard for ramen culture after an early 2019 trip to Japan, Luke Findlay started a ticketed ramen supper club held in his Hackney home – six people a time, three sittings a night, one style, everyone eating the same bowl. Three years later, having collected a cult following on social media, Supa Ya Ramen manifested a permanent home in which to serve its signature bowls of untraditional ramen toppings and broths. The 20-seater bar on Kingsland Road, Dalston is worth queueing up for in the seemingly perpetual but fast-moving line of eager patrons. Luke opened his second Supa Ya site in Peckham in 2022 and has ambitions to expand into further cities around the UK and overseas.

From Spicy Sesame Short Rib Noodles to the Cheeseburger Mazesoba, and of course, Supa Ya’s Signature Pickles and Fudgy Boiled Egg, alongside innovative snacks, small plates, and desserts, the recipes in this book reveal an eclectic cooking style that ramen heads in Tokyo have dubbed the ‘new-wave’. So, purists beware! You won’t find traditional Japanese ramen recipes here – Supa Ya Ramen is all about celebrating the beautiful craft of ramen making by infusing traditional techniques with exciting new flavours and empowering you to rustle up your own combinations using the ingredients you love.

Oz Clarke’s Story of Wine

8000 years, 100 bottles

Oz Clarke

• More people than ever want to learn about different regions, tasting notes, and the origin of the wine they drink. The curiosity about wine has always been there. But until people were stuck at home, there wasn’t the time or a means for people to learn about it. An increasing number of people from all walks of life are now passionate about the story behind each bottle. (Club Vino)

• Over a third of people (36%) are drinking more wine now than they were a year ago. Two out of three Generation Z and millennial consumers are drinking more wine now than this time last year, according to the new KAM wine consumer research study. (The Buyer, May 2022

•Barbara Drew MW of wine retailer Berry Bros. & Rudd has identified a shift in the profile of collecting customers in recent years, with a younger, more culturally diverse demographic of wine lovers taking ‘an interest in investing in their future drinking and beginning to build their own cellar.’

Revised and updated by Oz, this new edition of The History of Wine in 100 Bottles includes five new entries and updates throughout, with a completely refreshed design this book is the perfect gift for any wine enthusiast.

Oz Clarke is one of the world’s leading wine experts, known for his phenomenal palate, irreverent style, accurate predictions, and enthusiasm for life in general (and wine in particular). He is the author of many awardwinning books on wine. Before wine took over his life in 1984, Oz was a full-time actor and singer, appearing in West End hit shows and touring with the Royal Shakespeare Company. Alongside his entertaining television and radio broadcasts, including ‘Food and Drink’, ‘Oz and James’ with James May and James Martin’s Saturday Morning, he presents a series of concerts, Drink to Music! with the acclaimed Armonico Consort. Oz is also sports mad. He was awarded an OBE in 2020.

Winemaking is as old as civilization itself. For thousands of years, from its origins in ancient Mesopotamia to its current status as a global industry, the history of wine has been directly related to major social, cultural, religious and economic changes. Oz Clarke takes a look at more than 100 bottles that mark an evolution in the story of wine, capturing the innovations and discoveries that have had the biggest impact along the way.

Oz explores the flavours, the labels, the vineyards and the people who have influenced wine through the centuries from the medieval Cistercian monks of Burgundy, to scientists like Pasteur and Peynaud, who improved key technical aspects of winemaking and 20th-century giants like Robert Mondavi and Robert Parker Jr. Oz talks about famous vintages – from the 1727 Rüdesheimer Apostelwein to the first Montana Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc in 1979 and today’s cult wines from Bordeaux and California – and discusses the impact of changing climate on winemaking around the world.

These stories are told to make wine more alive, to bring wine's wonders closer to you, and also to make you think, to ask you to ponder wine's past – where it comes from; wine's present – where it is now; and wine's future – where it is going. Going from 6000BC and the probable birth of a wine culture in ancient Georgia, through the fact and fiction of Persia, Egypt, Greece and Rome and then on along the fascinating cluttered trail right up to the trends and tribulations of now, Oz shares over a hundred stories, and woven into these tales are probably a hundred more about the rich history of ‘bottled poetry’.

Melanie Molesworth and Julia Bird met in London while both working as interiors stylists.

They run a successful online store, a small retail shop in Lyme Regis and a studio workshop in Cornwall.

The book celebrates the unique appeal of the plants and showcases the myriad ways to bring their beauty indoors, with the authors providing step-by-step activities so you can create your own prints at home. Whether pressing a deep khaki green Peacock’s Tail seaweed or creating a stunning cyanotype with Eelgrass, the possibilities are endless with this seashore bounty.

The book is packed with glorious photography of the UK coastlines where the seaweeds can be foraged, alongside stylish interiors, and scenes of beach cook-outs and wild swimming spots. It also includes a library of pressed seaweeds presented in colour categories, with notes for identification and use.

100 Novels That Changed the World

Colin Salter

*Latest in the popular 100 Series from Colin Salter, author of 100 Children’s Books and 100 Symbols That Changed the World, co-author of 100 Books That Changed the World.

*Features a short bio of the 100 most influential novel writers, their greatest work and where it sits in their canon.

*Previous co-editions of the series published in Spain, Korea, Japan, China and Taiwan.

The inspiring novels that have left a significant mark on the world of literature and popular culture.

Before the novel, the world of books was dominated by scientific tomes, religious tracts and histories of the victorious in war. There had been stories and epic poems from ancient times – Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey recounted ancient Greece, and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight was a chivalric romance in Middle English, but it was not until the seventeenth century, when the European middle classes had money and leisure, that anything so frivolous as a novel could be sold for entertainment.

Colin Salter is a versatile writer with the enviable quality of incorporating a host of detail into elegant prose. He is the lead author in the Remarkable travel series and the award-winning 100 series – so, along with 100 Posters, 100 Symbols, 100 Novels etc, he has also penned Remarkable Treks, Remarkable Bike Rides and Remarkable Road Trips.

Colin Salter traces the evolution of the novel from the earliest examples through to the postmodernist best-sellers of the 21st century. Rather than dwelling too long on the technical nuances of innovative writing style he has amassed 100 of the greatest novel writers and chosen their most significant work.

For writers such as Herman Melville, James Joyce or Harper Lee the decision is not a difficult one. For Charles Dickens, Salman Rushdie and Margaret Atwood, the choice is perhaps more difficult.

Following the style set with previous books in the 100 series, most notably 100 Children’s Books and 100 Science Discoveries, each author is given a concise biography and their major novel analysed and then set in context with their other published work.

Readers can become ridiculously well-read in 224 pages.

Authors included: Alexandre Dumas, Daniel Defoe, Victor Hugo, Mary Shelly, Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, Charlotte Brontë, Emily Brontë, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Hilary Mantel, Jane Austen, Robert Louis Stevenson, Walter Scott, Lewis Carroll, JRR Tolkien, Gustave Flaubert, Marcel Proust, Henry James, Harper Lee, James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway, Margaret Atwood, Alice Walker, Jules Verne, HG Wells, Virginia Woolf, Leo Tolstoy, Louisa M. Alcott, Arthur Conan Doyle, Bram Stoker, John Steinbeck, CS Lewis, Chinua Achebe, Jack Kerouac, John Le Carre, Arundhati Roy, Mila Kundera, Joseph Heller, JD Salinger, Alexandr Solzhenitsyn, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Miguel Cervantes, Graham Greene, F.
