Traditional Global Cuisines
Recreating traditional dishes from across the world in your own kitchen isn't just about following complicated recipes. It is about growing so comfortable with them that you can churn out global delicacies without breaking a sweat or burning a hole in your pocket. From British pub food such as the humble Shepherd's Pie to a lip-smacking curry from the streets of Southeast Asia, or the classic French Coq-Au-Vin - I have deconstructed each recipe in this book, so you can fearlessly approach even the ones which challenge the mightiest of chefs.The idea of this book (my third after Indian Bohra Cuisine and Inner Truthto Good Health and Weight Loss) is not to churn out just another heap of recipes, no matter how glossy and attractively packaged. No, I wanted to do something more meaningful with food and cooking, which have been lifelong passions, so a book about food is not something I can take lightly.In the end, I settled on bringing traditional world cuisines to the modern family. The funny thing about these traditional dishes is that many of us have heard of them, even tasted them in some cases, but they rarely come out of our home kitchens. Whether owing to a lack of knowledge about the proper ingredients, or a vague feeling that the methods may be too unfamiliar to handle, we usually give these dishes a pass when cooking.As the volume of recipes grew, I felt the need to bring them all under one umbrella, as it were, and a book was the best idea that occurred to me. I hope you will have as much fun going throu -gh it as I had putting it together.

The Little Book of Wine
A oenophile's guide to all things wine. Red, white, sparkling or ros矇 - arguably no other alcoholic drink has had more impact on our society than wine. From its earliest iterations in earthenware jars all the way to the bottles we find lining supermarket shelves today, it has evolved from its use in religious rites along with culture, diet and society as a whole. And with literally billions of litres drank worldwide, our love of fermented grape juice shows no signs of waning. This little book gets to the heart of our love affair with wine. After taking a tour through a history of its evolution through the centuries, it delves into the nitty-gritty of production before we taste the fruits of all that labour - in moderation of course - and learn all about drinking (and hopefully appreciating) this most esteemed of beverages. As well as a whole caseload of quaffable facts and famous sayings about the nectar of the gods, there is also a glossary of useful wine terminology for the aspiring connoisseur, just in case you need a handy reminder during a particularly arduous tasting session... "A bottle of wine contains more philosophy than all the books in the world." Louis Pasteur "My only regret in life is that I didn't drink more wine." Ernest Hemingway Vitis vinifera is the principal wine-producing plant, and the majority of the world's wine comes from varieties of this species, mostly because of its high sugar content.
