Chilli Notes
'An exhilarating compendium of ways to use chilli in your cooking.' Guardian'There's so much more to chillies than fiery heat and this book proves it with its collection of imaginative recipes.' Good Food"Most people think about chillies in terms of heat and their capacity to blow one's head off. I think about how they can delicately pep up a pile of silky aubergines, perhaps already spiced with cardamom, cinnamon and faint dusting of cumin; how dark, tobacco-flavoured chillies can add deep mysterious tones to molten chocolate, how smoky chillies can add body to slow cooked, unctuous stews and how smoked, sweet peppers can add a note of earthiness to eggs, grilled flatbreads and saut矇ed greens." Thomasina Miers Chillies can add excitement to the simplest, most frugal ingredients. Chilli Notes is full of recipes that excite and tantalise, comfort and warm. Forget food that is simply there to knock you for six, this book aims to seduce the reader with the power of this humble fruit, even those who profess to loathe the slow burn. Chilli Notes is packed with dishes that you can pull together on a weekday night with ingredients you have lying around. Without long lists of exotic ingredients to stand in your way, Chilli Notes will show you how the chilli can be your exotic bedfellow to add a wonderful, unusual note to your home-cooked family food.

Relae
Written as a series of interconnected essays--with recipes--Rel疆 provides a rare glimpse into the mind of a top chef, and the opportunity to learn the language of one of the world's most pioneering and acclaimed restaurants. Chef Christian F. Puglisi opened restaurant Rel疆 in 2010 on a rough, run-down stretch of one of Copenhagen's most crime-ridden streets. His goal was simple: to serve impeccable, intelligent, sustainable, and plant-centric food of the highest quality--in a setting that was devoid of the pretention and frills of conventional high-end restaurant dining. Rel疆 was an immediate hit, and Puglisi's "to the bone" ethos--which emphasized innovative, substantive cooking over crisp white tablecloths or legions of water-pouring, napkin-folding waiters--became a rallying cry for chefs around the world. Today the J疆gersborggade--where Rel疆 and its more casual sister restaurant, Manfreds, are located--is one of Copenhagen's most vibrant and exciting streets. And Puglisi continues to excite and surprise diners with his genre-defying, wildly inventive cooking. Rel疆 is Puglisi's much-anticipated debut: like his restaurants, the book is honest, unconventional, and challenges our expectations of what a cookbook should be. Rather than focusing on recipes, the core of the book is a series of interconnected "idea essays," which reveal the ingredients, practical techniques, and philosophies that inform Puglisi's cooking. Each essay is connected to one (or many) of the dishes he serves, and readers are invited to flip through the book in whatever sequence inspires them--from idea to dish and back to idea again. The result is a deeply personal, utterly unique reading experience.
