By New Covent Garden Food Co. Published by Boxtree New Covent Garden Food Company has been providing quality, homemade soup to British supermarkets since 1987 and has recently produced a wonderful cookbook containing 365 of their favourite recipes. Starting with the front cover, the hardback looks as appetising as their iconic soup cartons. Then, once you start browsing the pages, you can’t help but noticing the elegance and simplicity of the design. All daily entries neatly display the name of the featured soup with its ingredients, cooking time and number of servings, neatly followed by clear and simple instructions. I always feel like there is something missing from a cookbook without photographs but you won’t even notice their absence once you start reading about all the mouth-watering soups that you could be cooking for yourself and your family. Tomato, pepperoni and parmesan; red lentil, lemon and thyme; king prawn and chorizo; sweet potato, butternut squash and chill...

By Skye Gyngell Published by Quadrille After the success of A Year in My Kitchen, the chef of Petersham Nurseries Café in Richmond, Surrey, comes back with a new and delightful cookbook, My Favourite Ingredients. A great addition to every kitchen that will ensure the success of any dinner with family and friends. Skye Gyngell explains her ‘produce driven’ approach to cooking and introduces us to sixteen of her key ingredients, which include asparagus, cherries, tomatoes, nuts and cheese.

Admitting that fresh produce tastes better than fruit or vegetables that have flown around the world before landing on your kitchen table, the talented chef shows us how to skilfully match ingre...

By Trina Hahnemann Published by Quadrille The Mediterranean diet, with its vibrant colours and rich flavours, is an icon of well-being and joyful eating. As an Italian, I can only verify this. As an Italian living in the UK, however, I can also verify the difficulty of finding bright red, sun-kissed tomatoes on British supermarket shelves. That is exactly why the ‘the Nordic diet’ is so beautiful: British and Scandinavian climates are relatively similar and the kinds of food that fill the pages of this exciting new book can be easily found in our local shops. This glossy volume, published in January by Quadrille, is neither a cookbook nor a diet book per se. Chef Trina Hahnemann, who wrote The Scandinavian Cookbook in 2008, has created a guide to adopting healthy eating habits which, as the elegant front cover simply states, will allow you to ‘eat your way to health and happiness’. Before introducing her simply delicious recipes, Trina outlines the fundamentals of the Nordic diet. Thes...
