Hokkaido showcases the variety - and quality! - of the food that the prefecture has to offer with a selection of delicious recipes. Think Sweetcorn with Soy Sauce Butter and Rice Dumplings with Walnut Sauce; big dishes such as Fried Salmon Rice Bowl and Sapporo Miso Ramen; and sweet treats like 'Snowmelt' Cheesecake and Crispy Sweetcorn Chocolate.

With travelogues exploring different regions, as well as beautiful photography, Hokkaido showcases one of the most unique and wonderful places to eat in the world.

The Chinese Way
A NEW YORK TIMES BEST COOKBOOK OF THE YEAR - A BON APP?TIT BEST COOKBOOK OF THE YEAR - A WASHINGTON POST BEST COOKBOOK OF THE YEAR - A NATIONAL POST BEST COOKBOOK OF THE YEAR - A SAVEUR BEST COOKBOOK OF THE YEAR - A SERIOUS EATS BEST COOKBOOK OF THE YEAR - NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS TO GIFT BY THE STRATEGIST Master the eight techniques that unlock modern Chinese cooking with this "genius" collection of inspired recipes (Salon), from the award-winning author of My Shanghai Betty Liu cooks Chinese all the time--but this doesn't mean she makes the same food her great-grandparents did. In her kitchen, the wok sits next to a Dutch oven, and the soy sauce in her pantry lives alongside tomato paste and harissa. The key to great Chinese cooking lies not in strict "authentic" recipes and ingredients, but in adaptable techniques. The Chinese Way teaches eight key methods that anyone can use to unlock their cooking: first, how to master heat (Steam, Fry, Boil, and Braise) and then, how to create irresistible flavor combinations (Sauce, Infuse, Pickle, and Wrap). In each chapter, Betty boils down the basics in classic dishes like Mapo Tofu and White-Cut Pork Belly. Then, she brings those techniques to the modern kitchen, with local produce and global flavors. The result? Dishes such as Scallion Oil Smashed Potatoes, Harissa Glazed Torn Tofu, Braised Cabbage and Chorizo, Dashi Steamed Mushrooms, and Tomato-Bacon Sticky Rice. One core technique at a time, Betty shows how to become a better cook--whether you're stir-frying cauliflower or adding preserved lemon to broccoli for extra zing. Betty's food is not traditional--but it is Chinese. And you can cook that way, too.

Middle Eastern Cookery
A comprehensive collection of Middle Eastern recipes, spanning from Georgia to Armenia, accompanied by cultural anecdotes and historical insights, makes it a revered culinary resource.All Arto der Haroutunian's twelve cookbooks written in the 1980s became classics; it was his belief that the rich culinary tradition of the Middle East is the main source of many of our Western cuisines and his books were intended as an introduction to that tradition. His Middle Eastern Cookery is regarded as the seminal work on the subject but it had been out of print for twenty years with second-hand copies on offer for over four hundred pounds, such was its scarcity and popularity. It is a book containing every possible recipe from the Middle East - there are dishes from the plains of Georgia, from Afghanistan, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Persia and Armenia. It is written in the same wonderful style as his other classic cookbooks; peppered with anecdotes on life, food and culture. He guides us first round the mezze table and then leads us on to recipes for soups, salads, savories, pilaffs, kebabs, casseroles and grills that make the best use of meat, fish and poultry. He teaches the cook about the different spices that are favored by different countries - mint for Armenia, cumin for Iran and with each recipe comes a piece of history or a fable which makes this a book to read as well as an unequaled collection of recipes.

Gohan: Everyday Japanese Cooking
Simple, everyday Japanese cooking from best-selling author Emiko Davies. Practically any home-cooked Japanese meal revolves around rice. It sits beside miso soup, pickles, tofu, and a piece of grilled fish at breakfast. It soaks up the sauce in a comforting donburi bowl, or is wrapped in nori for the ultimate portable lunch--onigiri. And it's there for dinner, perhaps served with a pickled plum, some mild Japanese curry, braised fish, or even a Japanese-style Hamburg steak. The everyday meals, cooked in the homes of Japanese mothers and grandmothers, is the food that Emiko Davies grew up with. They're the dishes she makes for her own children: simple, satisfying food like tamagonogohan (stir fried egg and rice), soba noodle soup, Japanese curry, yakisoba, and miso soup, prepared with whatever seasonal vegetables happen to be around. Unlike what many people think, Japanese home cooking is not fiddly, nor time consuming. It's quick and remarkably simple, thanks to the Japanese philosophy that fresh, seasonal food doesn't need much to enhance its natural flavor. "Gohan to me means the everyday home-cooked meal. Nothing fussy. It's quick and easy, but nourishing. A meal made with love."

The India Cookbook
India is a vast country, a subcontinent that is one-third the size of Europe with perhaps a greater diversity of people. In this country of multiple cultures and varied perspectives on food, the range of cuisines is also extraordinarily extensive. This collection of recipes from Sunita Kohli's friends highlights the immense variety of Indian food. Every region has its own cooking methods, ingredients-oils, tempering, spices-and its own particularly designed utensils, the shapes of which have evolved over generations. Divided into six sections-North, South, East, West, Central, and Subcontinental India (from friends across the border)-the book features recipes from friends of the author right from her school and college days and from all walks of life, including Vinod and Chinna Dua, Nalini Singh, Sagarika Ghose, Shobita Punja, Shabana Azmi, Aruna Sairam, Shashi Tharoor, Shobhaa De, Visalakshi Ramaswamy, Meenakshi Meyyappan, Nalini and P. Chidambaram, Pheroza Godrej, Prem Patnaik, Renuka and Pavan Verma, Nita Khanna, Sharmila Tagore, Richard Holkar, William Dalrymple, Zarine and Sanjay Khan, Najma Currimjee, Shirin and Priya Paul, and many others. This cookbook is an account of how culture most intimately expresses itself-there are dishes for all occasions and for all seasons. There are recipes that can be used for dinner parties with friends as well as ones for relaxed family meals. It features familiar comfort foods like Pakora Karhi, Pongal, Butter Chicken, Dhansak, Vangi Bhaat, and others as well as unusual, special dishes such as Sat Saag, Nimona, Santula, Mutton ki Karhi, Fesenjan, Mohan Maas, Baked Crabs, Yakhni, and more. The follow-up to the bestselling The Lucknow Cookbook, The India Cookbook: From the Tables of My Friends is a celebration of warmth and friendships and the enormous variety of cuisine across India.
Indian Breads
No other landmass in the world contains so many discrete regions, disparate cultures and languages that so little resemble each other. It stands to reason, therefore, that this multicoloured subcontinent has thrown up cuisines of countless kinds. Since bread is a staple, in a country as vast and multicultural as India, it takes on many forms, and the kinds of breads on our tables--with a little help from our invaders--are as varied and numerous. Using different grains--millet, ragi, wheat, barley--and different fillings--cheese, potato, you can do such wondrous things with Indian breads that a conjuror would find it hard to replicate them.

Japanese Foods That Heal
In Japan, the old ways have prevailed well into the 21st century. Small family run shops still make miso, tofu, shoyu, tamari, amazake and other traditional healing foods the same way they were made centuries ago.

Farmers cultivate shiitake and green tea and harvest sea vegetables according to the ancient, natural ways.

In Japanese Foods That Heal, John and Jan Belleme introduce eighteen essential foods from Japan that are still cultivated and prepared using time-honored methods and recipes.

Samurai Dishes
Samurai have fired our imagination with their fighting spirit and heroic deeds ever since Europeans set foot on Japanese shores during the middle of the 16th century. But what was the fuel on which these men ran? What was in their stomachs as they rode into battle? More widely, what kind of ingredients and dishes did the medieval Japanese eat and cherish? What were their tastes and culinary traditions? These questions point to the wellsprings of Japanese cuisine, widely considered one of the most sophisticated in the world.To answer these questions, Samurai Dishes delves into the long history of Japanese cooking. It traces the origins and use of typically Japanese ingredients. It shows the importance of food (or lack of it) in times of trouble and its ceremonial role in battle, both on the eve of victory and in the wake of defeat. And it reveals the deep symbolism of food to the warrior as a source of nourishment and revival. What emerges is the important role of food in a society obsessed with prestige and pride. Moving toward the present, Samurai Dishes highlights the innate Japanese attention to quality, freshness, and seasonality of ingredients, the tools with which to prepare them, and the various traditions according to which they are served.
