The Platinum Jubilee Cookbook: Recipes and stories from Her Majesty’s representatives around the world
Winner of ‘Best in the World’ at Gourmand World Cookbook Awards, 2023
19th century British Prime Minister Lord Palmerston once declared that ‘dining is the soul of diplomacy’ and this unique and sumptuous new book, published as part of the celebrations for Her Majesty The Queen’s 70 years on the Throne, presents 70 recipes from British embassies and high commissions around the world.
With a foreword by Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, this book celebrates the landmark occasion of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee by bringing 70 recipes – many of them served during Royal Visits – that are proudly British, inspired by local influences from the embassy’s host country, or a fusion of the two. Throughout, the book shows off the spectacular food and drink produce found within our shores that our embassies are proud to showcase around the world, including:
· Spanish Marmalade, from the Madrid embassy
· Green Fish Curry, from the Islamabad high commission
· Jollof Rice, from the Abuja high commission
· Mince Spies, from ‘C’, Chief of MI6
· Cardamom Lamb, from the New Delhi high commission
· Chicken Wellington, from the Lisbon embassy
· Toffee Apple and Rhubarb Crumble, from Chevening House
· Whisky-laced Bread & Butter Pudding, from the Washington D.C. embassyAlongside the delectable recipes, stories abound of culinary diplomacy in action. Contrary to the clichés, you will not find an Ambassador’s table piled high with Ferrero Rocher, but food is central to the diplomatic cause. Ameer Kotecha delves into the Foreign Office archives to reveal diplomatic dinner party anecdotes through the years – the good, the bad and the highly entertaining – and provides contemporary stories of food being used as a potent diplomatic tool. For the first time, this book tells the story of how nations break bread as a means to resolving differences, and seek to get to the negotiating table by first starting at the dinner table.
A mixture of recipes, food history, anecdote and stunning photography, this book is an engrossing read for anyone with an interest in food, diplomacy or British heritage. With contributions from Her Majesty’s representatives around the world, it is also a celebration of Britishness that makes for a unique memento for the Platinum Jubilee, delving into an under-explored part of Her Majesty The Queen’s reign.
The author is donating 100% of royalties from sales of this book to two charities: The Queen’s Commonwealth Trust (QCT) and The Prince of Wales’s Charitable Fund (PWCF).

Dinner with Dickens: Recipes inspired by the life and work of Charles Dickens
Recipes and menus from the novels and the household of Charles Dickens, one of the world’s favourite authors.
Dinner with Dickens celebrates the food of Victorian England by recreating dishes the author wrote about with such gusto, and enjoyed in real life. Food in the novels not only creates character and comedy, but is also a means of highlighting social issues. A grand wedding breakfast skewers ostentation in a wealthy household. A bread-and-butter tea conjures honesty and companionship. The gruel given to hungry children exposes a cruel and unjust regime.
The characters who throng Dickens novels are forever offering one another punch or seed biscuits; arranging a nice little supper of pickled salmon, salad and tea; showing concern with a roast fowl; or sisterly love with a painstakingly made beefsteak pudding. And, of course, there is the great feast of Christmas, celebrated in glorious style even by the impoverished Cratchits. At home, Dickens’ wife Catherine helped him entertain, and published (under a pseudonym) her own book, What Shall We Have for Dinner?, with pages of menus or “bills of fare” for different sizes of party and the changing seasons.
In Dinner with Dickens, Pen Vogler has fully updated recipes from contemporary Victorian cookbooks, including Catherine’s own book. Clear instructions enable you to recreate mutton stuffed with oysters, Betsey Prig’s Twopenny Salad, Dickens’ own recipe for punch and the Dickens family’s Twelfth Cake. In addition there are features on topics such as Dickens Abroad, Shopping for Food and Eating Out, with fascinating insights into housekeeping, entertaining and social history.

Indian Food Photography: Capturing Culinary Beauty
Food is an integral part of any culture, and this holds true for Indian cuisine. Each dish is embedded with a rich history, traditions, and stories that deserve to be told through photography. By understanding the cultural significance of Indian dishes, photographers can create images that resonate with a wider audience.
For example, a plate of biryani is not just a sumptuous rice dish; it’s a symbol of Indian hospitality and the fusion of flavors brought by various cultures over centuries. A picture of a thali, with its assortment of curries, bread, and chutneys, tells the story of India’s culinary diversity. A steaming cup of masala chai is more than a beverage; it’s a symbol of comfort and tradition.
Indian food photography, when done with cultural sensitivity, becomes a form of storytelling. It allows viewers to connect with the cuisine on a deeper level, evoking emotions and memories tied to the dishes.
The world of Indian food photography has evolved over the years, driven by changing tastes, the rise of social media, and the global interest in culinary diversity. Social platforms like Instagram and food blogs have given photographers a new canvas to showcase their work and connect with a global audience.
In this digital age, food photography has become an essential part of the culinary experience. It’s not just about showcasing the dish but also the entire dining experience, from the process of cooking to the final presentation. Photographers often collaborate with chefs, restaurants, and food influencers to create engaging content that tells the story of the cuisine.
The popularity of Indian food in the West has also spurred a new interest in Indian food photography. Many Western photographers are now exploring the beauty of Indian dishes, blending traditional and contemporary styles to create stunning visuals.
Indian food photography plays a vital role in preserving and promoting the rich culinary heritage of India. It acts as a bridge between the past and the present, ensuring that traditional recipes and cooking techniques are not lost to time. It also promotes the cuisine on a global stage, attracting a diverse audience eager to savor the flavors of India.
Photographs of Indian dishes not only tempt the taste buds but also inspire people to explore the culture and history behind the food. They encourage home cooks to try their hand at Indian recipes and chefs to experiment with new creations. Indian food photography has the power to ignite a passion for cooking, cultural appreciation, and culinary exploration.
Indian food photography is a mesmerizing journey that captures the soul of a cuisine known for its depth of flavor, cultural diversity, and rich history. With the right blend of technical expertise, artistic vision, and cultural sensitivity, photographers can freeze in time the culinary beauty of India, preserving it for generations to come. As the world continues to celebrate the rich tapestry of Indian cuisine, the lens of the camera remains a powerful tool in sharing this culinary art with the world, one image at a time.Read more

Simply Raymond: Recipes from Home – The Sunday Times Bestseller (2021), includes recipes from the ITV series
Featuring recipes from Raymond’s ITV series – SIMPLY RAYMOND BLANC
‘Of the many cookery books that I have written, this one has the most extraordinary story,’ says Raymond Blanc. His long-held plan to write a simple cookbook – inspired by his mother, Maman Blanc – began months before the Covid pandemic hit.
Suddenly everything changed, and Raymond, like the rest of the world, struggled to find a way through lockdown. At home, and isolated from his family – as well as his army of chefs at the world-renowned two-star Michelin restaurant Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons and his Brasserie Blanc restaurants – Raymond cooked and cooked. He opted for the simple dishes that evoked the happy memories, provided the connection to those he could not be with. He focused on recipes that were neither a challenge nor fussy. They required ingredients that were easily-available and needed only basic kitchen equipment. The result is Simply Raymond. It is a collection of his favourite home-cooked recipes – the dishes that mean the most to him; the ones that connect family and friends, and dishes that took him on stove-side travels to other parts of the world.
Dish by dish, Simply Raymond presents an irresistible feast. This is cooking from the heart, and here you’ll find must-make dishes to add to your weekly repertoire, as well as others for special occasions.
There is also a profound poignancy to this book. Shortly before Raymond finished writing it, his mother sadly passed away. This book is a heartfelt tribute to her, created with passion and thoughtfulness. It is also a testament to the great pleasure derived from stepping into a kitchen, simply to cook simply for others. Something he has done all of his life.
Recipes include:
* Cod Cassoulet with Chorizo and Mixed Beans
* A Quick Ratatouille
* Cauliflower and Red Lentil Dhal
* White Onion Soup
* Beetroot Salad with Hot Smoked Salmon
* Salade Nicoise
* Tartiflette
* Strawberry and Mascarpone TartRead more
