Three by Selin Kiazim Cookbook Giveaway

Enter our US/UK/AU/NZ giveaway to win one of three copies of Three: Acid, Texture, Contrast: The Essential Foundations to Redefine Everyday Cooking by Selin Kiazim.

Three looks at the magic elements that make a plate of food truly come into its own: acid, texture and contrast – the fundamental building blocks that will transform a modest dish into the star of the show.

Selin Kiazim is the author of Oklava: Recipes from a Turkish–Cypriot Kitchen (review /ebook $3.99 £3.99) and the owner of the London restaurant by the same name. Her latest work provides us with the know-how on how to use ingredients from the store cupboard or fridge and combine them in a way that elevates every single element. Whether you want a simple midweek meal or a dish to impress your dinner guests, there’s something for all occasions.

Starting with a guide to the basic foundations of a dish, along with clever ideas for pickles, dressings and condiments to get the balance right, the recipes are then divided by type of food – alliums, beans, greens, pulses and grains, brassicas, fruit, nightshades and mushrooms, nuts, poultry and meat, seafood, and roots and tubers.

Selin’s recipes show that a meal can be so much more than the sum of its parts through the simple guidelines of using acid, texture and contrast in each dish.
