A complete guide on how to source and prepare essential ingredients for traditional, homemade Italian cuisine at home.

The quality of Italian cuisine is based on the quality of its ingredients. For Italians, the quality of the basic ingredients in their dishes is everything. For some, it’s even as important as the air they breathe. This is why classic, homemade Italian food is incomparable to any other in the world. Its richness of taste belies its apparent simplicity, and it’s all down to the superior quality of those timeless, key elements that truly makes traditional Italian cooking so flavourful.

Originale is not just another recipe book. It is, in essence, a guide. A manual on how to do it like the Italians. The dozens of inspiring recipes within these pages are built from a handful of crucial ingredients that, if sourced correctly — as detailed in this book — can transport you directly to the kitchens of Rome, Naples, or Bologna via your own plate. Originale is lovingly curated to celebrate the enduring nature of Italian cuisine, its history, and culture. Buon appetito!

About the Author:

Founder of Viani Alimentari, and manager of Viani Importe GmbH, Remo Viani discovered the true flavors of Italy through the home cooked meals of his grandmother in Pietra Ligure. In the mid 1990s he quit his career in advertising to follow in his Italian father’s footsteps by importing regional delicacies to Germany, expanding and growing the business into shops and food festivals, and building on his passion for Italian food.

Ottolenghi is one of the most iconic and dynamic restaurants in the country. Its unique blend of exquisite, fresh food, abundantly presented in a cutting-edge, elegant environment, has imaginatively redefined people's dining expectations. For the first time, Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi are publishing here their superb sweet and savoury recipes.

Yotam and Sami's inventive yet simple dishes are inspired by their respective childhoods in West and East Jerusalem but rest on numerous other culinary traditions, ranging from North Africa to Lebanon, Italy and California. The 140 original recipes cover everything from accomplished meat and fish main courses, through to many healthy and quick salads and suppers, plus Ottolenghi's famous and delectable cakes and breads.

Ottolenghi: The Cookbook captures the zeitgeist for honest, healthy, bold cooking presented with flair, style and substance. This painstakingly designed, lavishly photographed recipe book offers the timeless qualities of a cookery classic.

About the Authors:

Yotam Ottolenghi is the restaurateur and chef-patron of the four London-based Ottolenghi delis, as well as the NOPI and ROVI restaurants. He is the author of eight bestselling and multi-award-winning cookery books. Yotam has been a weekly columnist for the Saturday Guardian for over thirteen years and is a regular contributor to the New York Times. His championing of vegetables, as well as ingredients once seen as 'exotic', has led to what some call 'The Ottolenghi effect'. This is shorthand for the creation of a meal which is full of colour, flavour, bounty and sunshine. Yotam lives in London with his family. www.ottolenghi.co.uk @Ottolenghi

Sami Tamimi was born and raised in Jerusalem and was immersed in food from childhood. He started his career as commis-chef in a Jerusalem hotel and worked his way up, through many restaurants and ethnic traditions, to become head chef of Lilith, one of the top restaurants in Tel Aviv in the 1990’s.

Sami moved to London in 1997 and worked at Baker and Spice as head chef, where he set up a traiteur section with a rich Middle-Eastern and Mediterranean spread. In 2002 he partnered with Noam Bar and Yotam Ottolenghi to set up Ottolenghi in Notting Hill. The company now has four stores and two restaurants, NOPI and ROVI, all in central London.
In his position as the executive head chef, Sami is involved in developing and nurturing young kitchen talents and creating new dishes and innovative menus.
Alongside Yotam Ottolenghi, Sami Tamimi is co-author of two bestselling cookbooks: Ottolenghi: The Cookbook and Jerusalem: A Cookbook.

Pickles and fermented foods have been considered a health food for centuries. Not only do they help improve digestion but they also strengthen the immune system, promote growth of healthy bacteria in the gut and curb those pesky sugar cravings. And of all fermented foods, drinks are some of the most versatile and tasty!

In Pickle Juice, Florence Cherruault showcases over 50 stunning and innovative cocktails and health drinks for you to try at home and enjoy all year long. Start with the basics and master the art of making the perfect shrubs and pickle juices then learn how to incorporate these into your very own delicious elixir. Take the lip-smacking Pickled Bloody Mary, the best cure for any hangover, or the crowd-pleasing Dirty Pickled Martini, a refreshing (and healthier) twist on the classic favourite. With a whole section dedicated to non-alcoholic drinks, such as detoxing juices and shrub sodas, you'll also find fun ideas for chasers, bloody Marys, drinking vinegars as well as other inventive ways you can serve up your homemade tipples.

Naughty but nice all at the same time, Pickle Juice will revolutionise your home bar and transform the way you drink – forever!

About the Author:

Florence Cherruault established The Pickle House in Hackney, London, in 2014. Having been introduced to the idea of drinking pickle juice in New York, she wanted to create pickle juice recipes that were specifically made for cocktails and smoothies (rather than just using the brine left over from a jar of pickles).

With his fabulous restaurants and bestselling Ottolenghi Cookbook, Yotam Ottolenghi has established himself as one of the most exciting talents in the world of cookery and food writing. This exclusive collection of vegetarian recipes is drawn from his column 'The New Vegetarian' for the Guardian's Weekend magazine, and features both brand-new recipes and dishes first devised for that column.

Yotam's food inspiration comes from his strong Mediterranean background and his unapologetic love of ingredients. Not a vegetarian himself, his approach to vegetable dishes is wholly original and innovative, based on strong flavours and stunning, fresh combinations. With sections devoted to cooking greens, aubergines, brassicas, rice and cereals, pasta and couscous, pulses, roots, squashes, onions, fruit, mushrooms and tomatoes, the breadth of colours, tastes and textures is extraordinary.

Featuring vibrant, evocative food photography from acclaimed photographer Jonathan Lovekin, and with Yotam's voice and personality shining through, Plenty is a must-have for meat-eaters and vegetarians alike.

There’s a basic cocktail formula for building a bar that is anything but ordinary. Spirit + Sugar + Acidity/Bitterness = Tasty Cocktail Instead of drawing on esoteric bottles of liquor, complicated syrups, and obscure sodas, this book takes readers through the home bar bottle by bottle, ensuring that every ingredient is versatile enough to be used to the last drop. Building on a very basic cocktail pantry (of Angostura bitters, sugar, citrus), each chapter thoughtfully introduces a new bottle and explains how it opens new possibilities for cocktails. Each chapter builds on the one before, so readers never encounter recipes calling for unfamiliar spirits or ingredients.

Raising the Bar allows readers to set their own pace and maximize the usefulness of the spirits they bring home. This book will be a go-to reference for the home bartender that is practical enough for the day-to-day and special enough for a party. With handsome graphics and a smart focus on what’s already in stock, it’s what home mixologists can turn to when they want creative and delightful drinks without a bar cart full of single-use bottles.

About the Authors:

Jacob Grier is the author of Cocktails on Tap: The Art of Mixing Spirits and Beer (Stewart, Tabori & Chang, 2015), which was picked by Esquire.com as one of the fifteen best cocktail books for home bartenders. His writing has appeared at Slate, Reason, the Atlantic, Imbibe, Mixology, Distiller, and many other publications. He is the founder of the annual event Aquavit Week and co-founder of a series of beer cocktail events called Brewing Up Cocktails. Brett Adams is a bartender with nearly two decades of experience in restaurants and more than a decade spent behind the bar, including at Multnomah Whiskey Library, and as bar manager at the Hoxton, Portland, where he created all the cocktails, curated the spirit lists, and trained the staffs of its bars Lovely Rita, 2NW5, and Tope.

Root, Stem, Leaf, Flower is a cookbook about plants – it's about making the most of the land's bounty in your everyday cooking.
