From Pasta to Pancakes - Ultimate Student Cookbook

As a new generation of school-leavers leaves home, either to university or to seek their fortunes in the outside world, many face the daunting prospect of cooking for themselves for the first time.

Rather than resort to a diet of expensive takeaways or anything-on-toast, this great book by 22-year old newcomer Tiffany Goodall shows first-timers how to cook everything they might want to eat.

Whilst at university last year, Tiffany wrote From Pasta to Pancakes with a student budget firmly in mind. It covers key basic skills such as how to cook pasta, pizza, pancakes, couscous, rice, or bake a jacket potato, each with many variations, and moves on to explain how to whip up delicious breakfasts, filling lunches, proper dinners and delicious treats.

With recipes ranging from Minestrone Soup to perfect Roast Chicken, from Spanish Omelette to Thai Green Curry, and from Chocolate Brownies to Vodka Watermelon, this book will set young adults up for a lifetime of enjoyable cooking.

With its brilliant cartoon-strip design, more than 750 photographs and over 90 recipes, From Pasta to Pancakes makes it easy to learn to cook. It explains the things other books assume you know, and crucially, includes photographs to illustrate every step. So, if you need to know what simmering water really looks like, whether your sauce is the right consistency, or how to check whether chicken is properly cooked, you'll find clear instructions next to some handy pictures. .

In this book, restaurateur and fowl expert John Torode delves into and demystifies the world of feathered food-stuffs; not only presenting every which way to treat the humble chicken, but also revealing the secrets to cooking the whole variety of edible birds - whether guinea-fowl or quail, pigeon, partridge or turkey - with confidence.

Harvest

In Harvest, Christine shares not only her favourite recipes, but her passion for growing things and taking food straight from the garden or paddock into the kitchen.

When she first arrived on the farm, she thought life would be all about slow-cooked meals and long lazy days, be she soon had to adjust to the reality of farm life.

This meant that the way she cooked had to change too, to become more seasonal and a lot less fussy.

Her recipes are a combination of quick (not fast) food using the best organic ingredients and slower, more indulgent meals using the best that her farm produces.

She shares tricks for keeping the pantry full of things to keep hungry boys happy and to help get a healthy, delicious dinner on the table with the minimum of fuss.

From baskets full of heirloom tomatoes and home-raised pork to bottles of their own organic wine, Harvest takes us into the kitchen of an organic farm to explore an organic lifestyle and its delicious benefits.

Delectable

A passion for food is a gift that I love to share... with rolled-up sleeves and my hands covered in flour, a rather messy glass of superb red on the side.

Or picking sun-warmed blueberries on the way home from a French village market, a basket filled with asparagus, artichokes, blood-red tomatoes, lambs lettuce, fresh bread and Comte cheese over my arm...

This quote encapsulates the essence of Delectable, the sharing of a food and wine journey from Cape Town, South Africa to medieval Charroux, France... and all the exquisitely beautiful little lunch breaks in between.

Delectable is more than just a cookery book... it's about good living as much as it is about good food.
