the world, that are not only energizing and delicious, but
free of dairy, refined sugar, additives and chemicals. Discover the
secrets of London’s Farmacy classics, such as Farm green soup, the
signature Farmacy burger, Goji ketchup, Raw banoffee pie, Fire

stories, advice on a healthy kitchen set-up, homemade beauty
products, tips for a happy lifestyle and stunning photography. I
just received this title today and it is stunning. I know, I know –
I keep using that word and one would think that all these books
qualifying as stunning would be inconceivable – unlke The Princess Bride – I do know what that word
means. Every release is blowing my mind with gorgeous photographs,

Superiority Burger Cookbook: The
Vegetarian Hamburger Is Now Delicious by Brooks Headley is
a home-cook-friendly book on American vegetarian (and accidentally
vegan) cooking, featuring over 90 dynamic recipes. Headley’s
restaurant, Superiority Burger, gave the people what they never
knew they wanted: a tasty, inexpensive veggie burger and a
constantly changing roster of non-French fried sides. Inciting a
civilized vegetable revolution, the chef and his crew rewrote the
rules of non-meat cookery. This book introduces readers to
vegetable cooking in a way that few vegetarian cookbooks have even
attempted. The book is divided into five flavorful sections:
Sandwiches, Cool Salads, Warm Vegetables, Soups and Stews, and
Sweets, and reveals the recipes for some of the restaurant’s
favorites.
The Kitchen Shortcut
Bible by Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough is for all of
us who love to cook, but never seem to have enough time. Rather
than a book of way-too-clever hacks, this is a collection of more
than 200 ingenious recipes that supercharge your time in the
kitchen without sacrificing high quality or fresh flavor.



Fast Cakes: Easy Bakes in
Minutes by Mary Berry is an unmissable, definitive
new baking book from Mary Berry. Mary has incorporated her
‘all-in-one’ method of preparation into as many recipes as
possible, so her recipes are faster to make than ever. Nearly 100
of the bakes take only 10 minutes to make and Mary has included
small bake variations for fruit cakes, which traditionally take a
long time in the oven, so you can make one even when you are pushed
for time. There are scones, buns and biscuits that you can whip up
for tea, traybakes and fruit loaves perfect for a school or village
fete and of course foolproof cakes for every occasion from everyday
recipes.
Joe Knows Fish: Taking the
Intimidation Out of Cooking Seafood by Joe Gurrera, one of
New York’s most-beloved fishmongers, and owner of the prestigious
Citarella markets, is on a mission to show us how easy it is to
cook seafood. Customers tell Joe again and again that they’re
afraid to cook fish. They don’t know how to buy it or prepare it.
Enter Joe Knows Fish. This book is a roadmap for
novices looking to learn the basics of sourcing and cooking fish.
With his easy-to-follow recipes and experience-based tips, Joe
takes the intimidation out of cooking seafood.


#Bake for SYRIA: Recipe Book by Lily Vanilli comes out in the UK and US on June 20th! Read more about this fascinating book and it’s cause on my post from April.
Levant by Rawia
Bishara offers up more than 100 recipes that represent a new
modern style. These are the very best of the dishes the author has
developed over the last twenty years in her New York City
restaurant for the contemporary palate. Relying on a traditional
pantry (including olive oil, tahini, za’atar, sumac), she applies
classic flavor profiles in updated ways to dazzling
effect.
