books

This is one of my favourite books, part travelogue, part recipe book and the author is really able to transmit some of the magic you feel snacking in those fantastic food markets around the world

The second in a series of books from 2 michelin-starred chef David Everitt Matthias. A beautiful book for the ambitious cook or professional chef

This is Mitch Tonk's new book on fish. He was the founder of Fishworks and now runs the Seahorse restaurant in Dartmouth - a kind of Ivy by sea!

 

Peter Gordon is a great chef (and valued customer!) and his cooking is incredibly inventive but very natural and he uses ingredients in a very imaginative way.

luke was my head chef when i worked in sydney and he's still a good friend. He cooks really good simple food with genuine skill and an unfussy approach. This book is a selection of his best stuff.

this is the best book i've ever come across about spices that is both an enjoyable read and manages to tell the amazing history of the spice trade due to the authors careful research and witty writing style.
Ian 'herbie' Hemphill is something of a guru in the spice industry but is also a thoroughly nice and modest bloke. His book is everything the title says - a real bible giving you all the information you'll ever need about herbs and spices in a very approachable and easy to understand way.
This must be the best of all the millions of curry recipe books out there and is both authoritative and understandable - a rare combination!
this is the curry book you need if you're looking for something more challenging. Not easy to follow but very rewarding if you're a keen curry cook
Just a really great book with some useful advice about using spices and simple but brilliant recipes
A really attractive book with some fantastic and inventive ways to use spices in delicious desserts


an interesting but very readable history of the spice trade told through the stories of 3 great European cities - Venice, Lisbon and Amsterdam that were each shaped to a large extent by the growth of the spice trade
A new book that should give a new perspective on the food we eat, how it's produced and how to eat better
