Food & Drink

Whether you’re looking for a potent pick-me-up, an effective detoxifier, a weight-loss aid, or an anti-ageing rejuvenator, Nicola Graimes shows you how to make flavour-packed juices and smoothies with health-enhancing properties. Along with the nutrients gleaned from fresh fruit and vegetables, these great-tasting drinks contain the added benefit of active super-nutrients such as spirulina, wheatgrass, maca, baobab, lacuma, acai berries, chia seeds and raw cacao among many others. From a health point of view there is no comparison between home-produced juices and store-bought ones. With homemade drinks you know what you’re getting, you can choose your favourite fresh produce, they are additive-free with no added sugar and they’re not pasteurized, a process which can deplete their nutritional status. Alongside over 100 recipes, Super Fresh Juices & Smoothies gives invaluable advice on getting the most from your fresh produce, including shopping tips, covering seasonality and foraging, plus information on new super-nutrients and a guide to buying a juicer or blender that best suits your particular juicing needs.

ACLAND GEDDES developed a passion for all things edible from a very early age, largely thanks to his mother’s homespun Italian cooking. He gave up a spectacularly unsuccessful (not to mention uninspiring) career in advertising to set up a catering service and after working as a chef in leading gastropubs in London, opened Megan’s on London’s King’s Road in Chelsea in 2010 (see www.megansrestaurant.com ). There are now two branches on the famous street.

Megan’s is a place for all seasons. A café and restaurant in London’s Chelsea, it could just as easily be in New York’s Upper East Side, Beverly Hills or a Mediterranean enclave. Meet Me at Megan’s is a relaxed recipe collection for entertaining. Good weather shouldn’t be an excuse for throwing any old thing together: it should be the reason you take extra care so the meal can be memorable, so try Lunch Alfresco offerings like grilled squid, chorizo and asparagus salad. Cooking for two lets you really push the boat out, so when Two’s Company, light the candles and stick two fingers up to yet another TV dinner watching Traffic Cops! Make an irresistible pot-cooked beef fillet with pea purée and hasselback potatoes. Remember, eating is a communal activity, the act of spooning peas onto you neighbour’s plate a silent confirmation of friendship. So easy sharing plates like falafel with tzatziki mean that the More the Merrier. Finally, sit down to a banana and chocolate cake at Teatime.

Burlesque is a celebration of beauty and decadence, which are incidentally the best qualities of a cake, too! Charlotte White understands this, and has paired these two art forms to create 25 absolutely stunning cakes and bakes. With a touch of lace, a shimmer of diamonds, or a flourish of vivid, exotic flowers, these cakes are all inspired by the costumes of genuine burlesque performers and openly push indulgence, teasing the taste buds and widening the eyes – after all, the art of Burlseque is the art of putting on a show! Unashamedly feminine but staunchly anti-twee, Charlotte has one rule by which she lives: indulgence and decadence should be encouraged at all times and in all places – especially the kitchen! Starting with basic recipes for the cakes and cookies, these baking and sugar-crafting projects are arranged into four levels of complexity, and written in a clear step-by-step style. Start your burlesque career at the old fashioned Gaiety Theatre, with simple designs for diamondback cookies or a cherry shakewell cake, before progressing to Minsky’s Burlesque Theatre for a performance of tempest rose cupcakes and Betty Mae mini-cakes. Moulin Rouge offers up the Lady Lamour cake and passion flower cupcakes, before, finally a fully fledged star, you are ready to try the treats of the Café de Paris!

Find fresh inspiration with Louise Pickford’s delicious recipes for perfect dressings and use them to add new depth of flavour and pizzazz to your favourite salads. The key to any great salad is using good-quality, fresh ingredients but it is the dressing that can make or break the final result. With that in mind, this book features recipes for a wide variety of exciting dressings that take their inspiration from different world cuisines – from classic vinaigrettes and mayonnaises to Asian and Japanese-style dressings. Lighter choices include a champagne vinegar dressing or hazelnut and raspberry vinegar; spice things up with wasabi dressing or Mexican lime, coriander, and chipotle dressing. Herbs add a pungent flavour punch – try dill and horseradish or a tangy Mediterranean-style parsley and green olive option. Creamy classics are a must and green goddess and homemade ranch dressings can’t be beaten! Fruity dressings add colour and vibrancy to summer dining – ideas included here are pink grapefruit vinaigrette, Key West mango and lime dressing or cherry salsa. Finally, exotically spiced warmed dressings can make a simple salad the main event: choose from onion and Moroccan harissa dressing or black bean and ginger for a true taste of Asia. • Versatile, adaptable recipes and creative serving suggestions make this book a hardworking addition to any keen cook’s kitchen book shelf, in summer or winter.

Pancakes, Crêpes, Waffles & French Toast So, you like to start your lazy weekend with a stack of pancakes, dripping with maple syrup and topped with crisp, smoky bacon? But what about flavouring those pancakes with fig and ricotta and topping them with an orange syrup? While crêpes Suzette makes a sophisticated French dessert, would you have thought to fill your crêpes with the quintessential English combination of rhubarb and custard instead? It’s a fact that whichever way you choose to serve them, simple griddled treats are the ultimate comfort food. But they are so much more than a leisurely brunch or quick dessert option; pancakes, crêpes, waffles and French toast can be endlessly reinvented for any occasion, and Hannah Miles has some wonderful ideas to get you started, from thick American-style pancakes, such as blueberry buttermilk to classic French-style crêpes. Waffles featured are both simple (cinnamon) and elaborate (salted caramel), while French toast is stuffed with myriad inventive fillings. Finally, explore the savoury variations; recipes for smoked salmon and chive pancakes, ham and cheese crêpes and potato waffles with smoky BBQ beans all feature in this gorgeous and truly mouthwatering book. • Over 60 recipes for the perennially popular waffles, pancakes, crêpes and French toast.

Seaside Tinkered Treasures Elyse Major has created a second charming collection of the easy-to-make projects that she calls ‘tinkered treasures’. Using items from the seashore, holiday essentials, and things you will already have in your home, she has recreated the feeling of summer in these beautiful souvenirs of days spent by the sea. Mermaids made from laundry pegs, shell-topped jars, a beach cottage built from lolly sticks, or a windchime constructed from sticks and shells, are just some of the unique ideas to help you keep your happy summer memories alive throughout the year. Many of the projects use recycled materials, and ‘tinkering’ requires no specialist tools, equipment or techniques – anyone can do it! As well as the 35 projects, there are ‘Fancy This’ alternatives for many of the items, substituting different materials or changing the colours for a different look. • The follow-up to Tinkered Treasures. • The author has her own popular blog (www.tinkeredtreasures.blogspot.co.uk). • Simple projects that anyone can make, from materials that are easy to find.

THE JOY OF FRIENDSHIP | 87

Health, Mind, Body & Spirit

Everyone needs friends. They are the walls of comfort that protect us from loneliness; they are the scaffolding that holds us up when we are reaching for greater heights; they are the mirrors that remind us who we truly are. They are there for us when life doesn’t turn out quite as planned; and we are more than happy to be there for them too. Never have so many people had so many friends. In an instant we can tweet, follow and befriend almost anyone, anywhere. But what does it take to be a true friend? What are the qualities of enduring friendship? How can you be a better friend to others, while also being true to yourself? The Joy of Friendship is Lois Blyth’s tribute to those who enrich our lives with their support, strength and laughter. Filled with inspiring stories of friendship, and uplifting quotations, it celebrates the joys of being a friend, the changing nature of friendship, the power of sustained friendships and the vital part that friends play throughout every stage of our lives.

Shakespeare claimed music was the food of love, which is a pretty ridiculous statement as food is clearly the food of love. In this case, the Bard is definitely talking out of his unquestionably eloquent backside. Anyway, as food is the food of love, it’s the perfect accompaniment to days and nights spent wooing members of the opposite sex (or same sex, we’re not here to judge). If you spend even a short amount of time with the object of your desire, there’s good chance food will be involved. Whatever the reason for the two of you eating together, there’s no doubt a story that goes with it or a recipe to share, and that’s what Cook Your Date Into Bed does. It looks at the relationship between hooking up and eating out, gives tasty recipes for dinners, snacks, breakfasts and cocktails you can make yourself, and also laughs at the ridiculousness of the whole process. After all, most situations can be dealt with via the introduction of food, or booze, and dating is no different. So let us begin. • There are 15 million single people in the UK alone.

• Helen has recently been nominated in the Food Writing category at this year’s Young British Foodie awards.
