  • Knead to Know…More

    Chris Young

    The Bakers of the Real Bread Campaign

    In 2011, the food and farming charity Sustain published Knead to Know – the Real Bread Campaign’s groundbreaking book for budding bakery businesses before Grub Street took over publishing it worldwide. Much has changed in the years since. Bakers in the campaign’s network have racked up a wealth of knowledge and experience to share, and so Real Bread Campaign coordinator Chris Young has completely re-written the book to produce this revised and expanded edition.

  • Your Brick Oven

    Russell Jeavons

    Maggie Beer

    In 1992 Russell Jeavons opened, and cooked at, a unique restaurant in an old cottage in one of South Australia’s prized wine districts. It was famous for the fact that it only opened on one night of the week, on a Friday night but is famous most of all for its fresh, simple food cooked entirely in Russell’s wood-fired brick ovens. The first part of his unique book is a step-by-step guide that takes you through the stages of building an oven, from choosing the site to firing up for your first bake. Part 2 explains how to cook in the oven with invaluable tips for brick oven cooks and includes recipes for sour dough bread, pizza, dukkah, traditional English roasts and some of Russell’s famous desserts.

  • Homemade Vegan Cheese, Yoghurt and Milk

    Yvonne Hölzl-Singh

    Dairy goes vegan! The recipes in this book are all temptingly good. They are clear and simple and you are led through each process step-by-step. There are basic recipes, such as cashew cheese, on which other recipes then build and a whole range of vegan ‘milk classics’ to make. In addition to the cheeses, you will find plenty of spreads, butters with different flavours and full-bodied delicacies such as ricotta or mascarpone. And there are faster variants such as the ‘pizza cheese’. Finally there is a chapter covering vegan drinks such as almond milk, oat drink, quick nut milk with nutmeg and soy milk. So who needs to buy drinks in the supermarket when you can make them much healthier and cheaper yourself? You’ll be surprised how little effort vegan products take to make at home. Once again proof that the vegan diet is quite versatile.

  • The Taste of Belgium

    Ruth Van Waerebeek

    Here in Ruth Van Waerebeek’s wonderful compendium of 250 delicious recipes, is the best of Belgian cuisine. It is a cuisine that traditionally prizes regional and seasonal ingredients and there are dishes in this comprehensive collection using all the ingredients synonymous with the country: endives, mussels, herrings, white asparagus, Brussels sprouts, mustard, beer and chocolate. There are national dishes such as waterzooi, moules frites, hutsepot, stoemp and of course waffles. For the adventurous cook there is much to explore in this varied and perhaps unfamiliar cuisine.

    As the Belgians say, since everybody has to eat three times a day, why not make a feast of every meal?

  • Middle Eastern Cookery

    Arto der Haroutunian

    All Arto der Haroutunian’s twelve cookbooks written in the 1980s became classics; it was his belief that the rich culinary tradition of the Middle East is the main source of many of our Western cuisines and his books were intended as an introduction to that tradition. His Middle Eastern Cookery is regarded as the seminal work on the subject but it had been out of print for twenty years with second hand copies on offer for over four hundred pounds, such was its scarcity and popularity.
