Recipes from a modern Russian kitchen Alissa Timoshkina

F O ODI E AWA R D S I N 2 017

A collection of delicious modern recipes from Siberia and beyond.

Salt & Time will transform perceptions of the food of the former Soviet Union, and especially Siberia – the crossroads of Eastern European and Central Asian cuisine – with 98 inviting recipes adapted for modern tastes and Western kitchens, and evocative storytelling to explain and entice. Try the restorative Solyanka fish soup (a famous Russian hangover cure), savour the fragrant Chicken with prunes or treat yourself to some sumptious Honey and pine nut cake.

‘Often we need distance and time, both to see things better and to feel closer to them. This is certainly true of the food of my home country, Russia – or Siberia, to be exact. When I think of Siberia, I hear the sound of fresh snow crunching beneath my feet. Today, whenever I crush sea salt flakes between my fingers as I cook, I think of that sound. In this book I feature recipes that are authentic to Siberia, classic Russian flavour combinations and my modern interpretations. You will find dishes from the pre-revolutionary era and the Soviet days, as well as contemporary approaches – revealing a cuisine that is vibrant, nourishing, exciting and above all relevant no matter the time or the place.’ – Alissa Timoshkina

Food and Russian culture are two of Alissa’s greatest passions. She grew up exposed to the classics of Russian and world cinema and literature.

Within a year of setting up her Instagram account, Alissa embarked on a new project: a cinema-supper club called KinoVino.

Since its launch in 2015, KinoVino has established a reputation as one of London’s most original projects, featured in Vogue, Vice , the Telegraph, Time Out and BBC Radio 4’s Food Programme. Alissa was shortlisted for the Young British Foodie Awards in 2017.

The Pig began

in 2011 in the New Forest and became an instant hit. A more relaxed take on the country house hotel, The Pig’s unique selling point was its kitchen garden which was – and has remained – at the heart of the hotel, and the menu.

Founded by Robin Hutson (who created Hotel du Vin and launched Lime Wood), his wife Judy Hutson (who is responsible for the interiors) and David Elton, The Pig’s litter has grown to five, with more to follow soon.

The hotels have won a fervently loyal following and a string of industry accolades.

The Art & Science of Foodpairing 10,000 flavour matches that will transform the way you eat Peter Coucquyt, Bernard Lahousse & Johan Langenbick Foodpairing is a method for identifying which foods go well together, based on groundbreaking scientific research that combines neurogastronomy (how the brain perceives flavour) with the analysis of aroma profiles derived from the chemical components of food.

This exciting new book explains why the food combinations we know and love work so well together (strawberries + chocolate, for example) and opens up a whole new world of delicious pairings (strawberries + parmesan, say) that will transform the way we eat.

With ten times more pairings than any other book on flavour, plus the science behind flavours explained, Foodpairing will become the go-to reference for flavour and an instant classic for anyone interested in how to eat well.

‘We build tools to create culinary happiness’ – Foodpairing.com ‘There is a world of exciting flavour combinations out there and when they work it’s incredibly exciting.’

10-a-Day The Easy Way

Fuss-free recipes and simple science to transform your health James Wong Make simple changes to your diet and slash your risk of developing the biggest diseases to affect the Western world, with delicious, substantial recipes from bestselling author James Wong.

BY THE AU T HOR OF T H E BE S T SE L L I NG HOW T O E A T B E T T E R – MOR E T H A N 85,0 0 0 C OPI E S S OL D

Eating healthily can be a confusing business. But what if there were a single, simple change you could make that would transform your health, without forcing you to give up the foods you love?

According to a growing body of international studies, little tweaks to your everyday diet to get you beyond the 5-a-day minimum and towards 10-a-day could slash your risk of developing heart disease, cancer or stroke. In fact, experts agree that simply eating more fruit and veg is the single most important dietary change you can do for your health!

As only 3 out of 10 people are even achieving the minimum amount of fruit and veg, this book aims to make getting there easy. No gimmicks, no 'banned' foods, no miserly portion sizes. Just 80 of the classic recipes you know and love made healthier (and tastier) by simply upping the amount of fruit and veg in them, all backed by the best science available.

James Wong

is a Kew-trained botanist, science writer and broadcaster based in London. He is the author of the bestselling books Grow Your Own Drugs, Homegrown Revolution and, for Mitchell Beazley, RHS Grow for Flavour (more than 64,000 copies sold) and How to Eat Better (more than 85,000 copies sold).

He has presented BBC2’s awardwinning series Grow Your Own Drugs and co-presented, with Dr Michael Mosley, The Secrets of Your Food – a major BBC series on the science of food. He has a column in the Observer magazine.

How to Eat Everything (And stop worrying about it)

Laura Dennison & Eve Simmons

H A S R ECE I V E D COV E R AGE I N THE TIMES, THE T E L E GR A PH, M ET RO, E V E N I NG STA N D A R D A N D M I R ROR

A game-changing narrative for anyone who has struggled to find a balance between healthy and happy, between empty and full. The principle is very simple: eat what you like and don’t worry about it.

‘One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.’ – Virginia Woolf

NO T P L A N T B A S E D I S A S T RONG BR A N D W I T H 8,6 3 3 I N S TAGR A M F OL L OW E R S A N D 2 ,7 2 3 T W I T T E R F OL L OW E R S

The definition of ‘healthy eating’ has been chewed up, spat out and re-digested enough times to make Joe Public give up and seek out their nearest branch of McDonald’s. Our mindless obsession with eating ‘right’ is such that we’re now more concerned about what our Instagram followers think of a poorly lit picture of our dinner than we are of its effect on our own palate. Or, indeed, our happiness. We seem to be living in a time where we no longer eat with our hearts, emotions or heritage – but with what our waistlines (and followers) in mind.

Not Plant Based are on a mission to help you love food again. The principle is very simple: eat what you like and don’t worry about it. It’s a menu that’s especially delicious, ‘guilt-free’ and requires a hell of a lot less money spent in health food shops. Throughout the book, Laura and Eve call on experts to debunk myths and provide a balanced exploration of our attitude towards food, with some delicious recipes thrown in along the way. They discuss their own experiences of eating disorders and offer personal tips and coping mechanisms to help rid you of anxiety linked to food. No one is saying healthy eating is bad; there is simply a lot of misleading information out there. More to the point, food is so much more in the grand scheme of life than health: it’s family, friends, enjoyment and memories.

So go on, take a bite out of How To Eat Everything and learn to love your food all over again. It’s SO mouthwateringly good – we bet you'll be back for seconds.

Not Plant Based was

founded by Laura Dennison and Eve Simmons, both of whom are survivors of eating disorders.

Eve and Laura are both full-time journalists; Eve works at the Mail on Sunday and Laura is currently freelance, following a stint at The Press Association.

When Laura saw an interview with Eve on the BBC’s Clean Eating’s Dirty Secrets she decided to approach her about founding a new website, Not Plant Based. The website covers topics such as nutritional advice, restaurant tips, physical and mental health, and features interviews with chefs, food writers and influencers, including Jay Rayner, Ella Mills and Adam Richman.

Get Your Kids to Eat Anything A 5-phase programme to change the way your family thinks about food Emily Leary Multi-award-winning writer Emily Leary’s wonderfully practical approach to fussy eating.

Get Your Kids to Eat Anything is an achievable ‘how to’ for parents in the battle to overcome picky eating and ‘make new the norm’. Emily Leary’s unique 5-phase programme looks at the issue of ‘fussy eating’ in a holistic way that links imagination with food, and which situates parents alongside – not in opposition to – their children.

You will ease away from the same four-to-six staple meals most families fall back on, towards truly varied healthy meal plans from day to day, week to week, to the point where introducing your whole family to new flavours, colours and textures is a breeze because new is the norm.

Each phase includes a clear explanation of what you’re going to learn and achieve, clear advice and commentary, two weeks of delicious tried and tested recipes, and hands-on activities to try out with your family, all of which will help bring that phase to life.

Phase 1: Unfamiliar into the familiar. Introducing unfamiliar colour, flavour or texture into familiar family favourites.

Phase 2: Educate. Experimenting with food and understanding where it comes from and why it's so important.

Phase 3: Fun. Putting the fun back into food and building enthusiasm for food variety.

Phase 4: Into the unknown. Discovering new ingredients and flavour combinations.

Phase 5: Cementing variety. Learning techniques to keep your family meals varied long-term.

Cocktails, perennially popular, have survived long beyond their humble origins. For many modern-day favourites, this was the Prohibition-era cocktail boom, born of the necessity to improve the harsh flavour of home-made liquors.

Vogue Cocktails takes inspiration from this 'Cocktail Age', with 150 recipes organised by base spirit – Champagne, Gin, Vodka, Whisky, Rum and Brandies & Other Spirits – to ensure a drink for every palate. Vogue Cocktails also contains essential information on stocking your bar and mixing drinks, with 48 jazz-age-inspired illustrations peppered throughout.

This stylish guide will become the go-to cocktail handbook for any aspiring mixologist, whether mixing up a classic Negroni or Martini, or a more unusual creation such as the Silver Vodka Fizz or the Paris Opera Special.

Vogue Essentials: Lingerie Anna Cryer

The ultimate wardrobe essential, lingerie, is celebrated in the latest book from the internationally prestigious fashion brand, Vogue.

Images of lingerie have been showcased in British Vogue since its launch in 1916. They demonstrate more than just changing fashion; they serve as a commentary on ideas of propriety, the progress of female emancipation and technological advancements as well as ever-changing ideals of the female silhouette and concepts of beauty.

Divided into categories of Stretch & Go, Pretty Things, Under Control and After Dark, Vogue Essentials: Lingerie explores the evolution of lingerie over the 100 years of Vogue’s history, commenting on changing fashions, influence on popular culture, the psychology of lingerie and its role as a liberator, accompanied by more than 100 images from the British Vogue archive.

The latest in the Essentials series from internationally prestigious fashion brand, Vogue, celebrating the iconic fashion power symbol, the high heel.

There is an indefinable magic, mystique and fascination about high-heeled shoes that passes all understanding or logic. How can you explain that the simple act of pointing your toes and gently slipping them into a pair of towering heels can be such a powerful experience physically, psychologically and emotionally? As British Vogue has charted over the last hundred years, by stepping into a pair of heels, a woman’s personality is instantly transformed.

Divided into the categories of Fancy Footwork, Enduring Classics, Step Up and Rainbow Heels, British Vogue’s archive of fashion photos has been plundered to showcase the most beautiful, memorable, rule-breaking and trend-setting heels to be photographed in its 100-year history.

‘You can never take too much care over the choice of your shoes. Too many women think that they are unimportant, but the real proof of an elegant woman is what is on her feet.’

– Christian Dior

Home organizers to the stars give you advice on how to declutter and rearrange every area of your home – with calming, beautiful results.

The Home Edit was founded on the idea that practical organization can work in harmony with design, so that spaces are both functional and beautiful. In their first book, Clea and Joanna – the two friends behind The Home Edit – have created a helpful, lively guide to getting every room in your house in order – stylishly, because organisation doesn’t have to mean throwing everything out.

The Home Edit centres on incredibly practical advice that is adaptable to all living spaces, including tips for hard-to-organize areas. It also features some of the celebrity spaces that Clea and Joanna have reorganized. While every project is rooted in functional systems that can be maintained for the long term, there is an equal emphasis placed on transforming your space visually and adding The Home Edit’s signature contemporary aesthetic.

Clea and Joanna have organized for celebrities including Kim Kardashian West, Gwyneth Paltrow, Rachel Zoe, Lauren Conrad and Mandy Moore.

By the Sea

The therapeutic benefits of being in, on and by the water Dr Deborah Cracknell Nature meets modern science in a book about the healing powers of the ocean.

B LU E PL A N E T H A S PROVOK E D H UGE I N T E R E S T I N OU R SE A S A N D O C E A N S , W I T H 17

In this stunning book, intuition and instinct meet modern science as the therapeutic benefits of being in, on or by the sea are explained and explored, and how, if we look after the oceans they will in turn look after us.

There is something about the vastness of the oceans, which are significantly larger than the continents combined, that has drawn humans in a significant way since the beginning of coastal communities.

Throughout history, people have gravitated to live near the sea, it is part of the survival instinct. Water also has huge cultural and spiritual significance for people through the ages and for centuries we looked to the sand and surf as a fully-stocked medicine cabinet.

Despite the widespread intuitive feeling that being by the water makes us happier and healthier, there hasn’t been much scientific evidence to quantify this connection. Until now. Environmental psychology is the study of how the natural environment makes us feel, think and behave, and scientists in this area are discovering the tangible benefits of ‘blue health’.

Shrink Re-train your brain & lose weight for good Philippe Tahon Learn how thinking like a shrink will give you the body you really want – for life.

Philippe Tahon has made a thrilling discovery, and it’s something many of us will want to know. This highly sought-after London psychotherapist has created a unique set of tools that not only enabled him to lose five stone, but is now doing the same for hundreds of others.

In Shrink, Philippe shares his easy programme and teaches you to eat mindfully, intuitively and positively.

He encourages you to throw away the rulebook and free yourself forever from emotional eating and the diet trap.

In being mindful we can tell how hungry we really are. Using our intuition, we eat only what our body knows is good for us, and when. By eating positively, we no longer regard food as the enemy but make friends with it, embracing it for the pleasure and nourishment it brings.

Philippe’s holistic technique gives you back your confidence, allows you to retake control and enjoy food guilt-free. Step by step, his impressive list of clients – including fellow therapists and celebrities – identify the patterns in their eating habits and learn how to eat what they like while losing weight for good.

The simple beauty of this hugely successful programme is that it allows you to ‘think like a shrink’ and have the body you really want – for life.

Dreams

A guide to conscious dreaming Tree Carr A conscious guide to spiritual empowerment through dreams.

Discover how to create your own dream practice to help facilitate your work and relationships, selfexploration, soul growth, emotional healing and personal empowerment.

Human beings have a long history of looking to their dreams for guidance, inspiration, spiritual connection and decision making. Kings consulted seers and gifted dreamers for political advice, and tribe leaders took heed from the prophetic dreams of their shamans. Dreams have led to inventions and scientific discoveries as well as the creation of moving works of art.

So why is the modern human so disconnected from our dreams? Our quiet, reflective consciousness has been superseded by the busy, noisy and distractive components of modern culture.

Dreams will teach you how, through simple intent, mindfulness, reflection, record keeping, plant work and lifestyle changes, we can enable a deeper connectivity and understanding of our dream world to enrich our waking life.

Intention

How to tap into the most underrated power in the universe Andrew Wallas Create the life you want through the power of intention.

Success, money, relationships, love, purpose and fulfilment. What is it that all these have in common?

Intention.

Come New Year, everyone makes their resolutions – and within days or weeks almost 90% of people break them. This is because willpower is only fractionally as powerful as imagination. Willpower runs out, often by lunchtime, whereas our imaginations can be limitless.

Intention is born from awareness of what it is that you

truly want to create. And so, this book is the key to the life you want.

It guides you through the process of self-enquiry so that you may discover clarity and alignment around your intentions. It reveals how you can drop beyond the surface of the mind, beyond limiting beliefs, into a deeper, more connected sense of knowing.

Intention transports us from the energy of lack, which Andrew Wallas sees as the predominant energy in the world today, into the energy of abundance. It is our compass and expression of our essence.

Printmaking has been part of the artist’s arsenal for centuries. Goya, Dürer, M. C. Escher, Rembrandt, Toulouse-Lautrec, Van Gogh, Picasso, Lichtenstein, Edvard Munch, Andy Warhol and Pierre Bonnard – to name but a few – were advocates.

The scope of printmaking is vast. The Printing Ideas Book explores the different processes available to artists – such as screenprinting, etching, lithography, risography, linocut, collagraphy, cyanotypes, woodcut,

aquatint, monoprints, digital printing, drypoint and engraving – from a new and exciting angle. To celebrate the art of printmaking, this book is filled to the brim with experimental, arresting and beautiful examples of printing from all over the world.

Colette Meacher is a writer, editor and fashion lecturer. She teaches at the London College of Fashion and has worked on numerous books on art and design.

The Drawing Ideas Book is the latest title in this exciting new series aimed at anyone who wants to take their creativity further.

Full to bursting with ideas for techniques, subjects, combining media and styles, the books are a visual feast and source of inspiration for all abilities. Most artists like to investigate new ways of using their chosen medium.

Discover art photography through the 100 greatest ever photos.

In the two centuries that photography has been practical, it has created a means of communication , the understanding of which is essential to anyone navigating this very visual world.

It is ambiguous, complicated and subjective, fleeting and lasting at the same time. This book will introduce the best examples and show you how you can ’read’ every image.

the brain deals with trauma and pain; and the effects on the brain of love, age, and sex. Finally, you'll get an tantalising insight into the cutting-edge theories that are attempting to get behind the elements of neuroscience that we still can't quite explain.

You will be regaled with tales of extraordinary fishing expeditions at home and afar, from the banks of the Dumfriesshire coast to Tuscany’s Porto Ercole, with each trip ending with a feast – be it the catch of the day (if all went to plan), or something found and foraged if the need arises (always have a back-up plan).

Hooked features both exotic and humble dishes such as Hot stone salmon, Barracuda & pineapple ceviche, Trout kedgeree and Mahi mahi sashimi.

Weaved into the narrative are the infectious, and unexpected, joys of fishing and what it does for you.

Hint: it’s not necessarily about the fish.

True Stories from My Life as a Forensic Psychologist Kerry Daynes An eye-opening insight into the human psyche from a leading forensic psychologist.

‘I’ve been a forensic psychologist for over twenty years, working in prisons, hospitals, courts and police stations, in neighbourhoods and communities just like yours. For those of us who play by the rule book, few things are more fascinating and rankling than those who choose to tear it apart. The stories I’ve chosen to tell here are the ones you probably won’t read about in the papers. Some are heart-breaking; others enraging; some plain weird but what connects them is the insight they give us into the human condition.’

Kerry Daynes has worked with some of the most complex and challenging criminals in prisons and secure hospitals, as well as victims of crime. A large part of her day job is working to reduce the impact of crime on society by delving into the psyche of the men and women convicted of brutal acts of violence, to try to understand the psychological processes behind the criminal act and provide treatment to set them on a path to becoming law-abiding citizens.

Welcome to the life of the forensic psychologist in all its frustrating, conflicting and just occasionally life-affirming reality. Drawing on her case files from the frontline, The Dark Side of the Mind offers readers an unforgettable journey into the psychological causes behind some of the most extreme forms of human behaviour, and what the treatment and incarceration of those who transgress says about society.

Sample the best of Beirut’s street food, including Lamb Kibbeh and Manouche (charred flatbreads with goat’s cheese and za’atar). Discover the delights of Lebanese home cooking, such as the smoky and colourful Aubergine Fattah, before finishing with Knafeh, a traditional dessert made with cheese and crisp vermicelli, drizzled with syrup and topped with crushed pistachios.

With stunning location photography to bring the country to life, Saffron in the Souks is sure to delight and inspire cooks everywhere.

John GregorySmith is a food

and travel writer who has written four previous books.

He writes for Grazia, Evening Standard, Attitude, and Woman & Home, and his recipes have been featured in The Times, the Telegraph, Sainsbury’s Magazine, the Daily Mail, Hello!, GQ and Men’s Health.

I N 2 010, J U DE ’ S

A collection of innovative, lip-smackingly brilliant recipes celebrating ice cream and the desserts that accompany it.

An introductory chapter outlines how to make classic and more unusual ice cream flavours as well as sorbets and vegan options (from Roasted Strawberry and Buttermilk and No-churn Flat White Coffee to Vegan Malted Banana Ice Cream). Then ice-cream desserts and celebration recipes take centre stage, bringing fun to the kitchen (from Stacked Ice Cream Cheesecake with Figs and Cinnamon to Children’s Ice Cream Cupcakes).

Decadent desserts that are the perfect companion to ice cream, like Cocoa and Date Brownies and Giant Meringues, add a baking element, whilst sundaes, shakes and cocktails give inspiration for all-hours entertaining.

Toppings, of course, are showcased, with sauces, chunky honeycomb, homemade waffle cones, marshmallows and salted pecan brittle so you can decorate and create your own desserts.

This joyful, beautifully photographed selection is an homage to one of our favourite foods and, in the hands of the award-winning British brand Jude’s, you know these recipes will be exciting and packed with flavour.

Recreate the flavours of Mediterranean France at home Caroline Rimbert Craig

Recreates the simple delights of an effortlessly healthy Mediterranean ‘diet without actually having to go on a diet’ so you can indulge in Provençal recipes wherever you live.

At the crossroads of many civilisations, Provence has seen successive waves of migration and its cuisine reflects this rich and diverse history. It combines the exoticism of the Middle East with the rustic cosiness of French country cooking and the chic aperitif culture of the Riviera.

Both a tribute to a disappearing way of life and a practical guide to cooking delicious Provençal

recipes at home. Provence is a book to be treasured, with its inspiring recipes that involve more than just throwing together Mediterranean veg. These include Avignon Daube, a lamb shoulder simmered in white wine with herbs, as well as easy, no-fuss dishes set to become your favourite weeknight staples.

This inspirational and timely guide shows how mindfulness helps children, why it’s becoming popular and how to do it. It combines easy exercises that children can complete alongside their parents/carers with a fun and engaging commentary on the theory and science behind the practice. Uz takes you through the day, from waking, eating, learning and appreciating to sleeping, including exercises for how to cope with exams, how to deal with the screen culture and practises you can do in holiday time. Together, this gives the reader an enjoyable and accessible path into the practice of mindfulness for children.

Many schools are not able to include mindfulness in their curricula and educators and parents alike are eager to have more guidance on how to support children. This current era of rising levels of child mental health, with the pressures in schools as well as the increasingly fast-paced, digitized and imageobsessed world is having a really negative effect.

Mindfulness for Children is a positive and practical tool that will give children the skills to manage their feelings, increase their confidence and concentration levels as well as aiding their transition to secondary school. And it can help parents and caregivers, too, by promoting happiness and relieving stress.

She takes the mystique out of what to grow and guides you through the entire process – from choosing the plants to suit both your garden and home décor and laying out your cutting patch, to planning ahead so you get your perfect palette of colour, texture and shape to play with at the right time. A whole chapter on arranging will inspire you to create spectacular arrangements for your home without the need for complicated floristry techniques.
