Ramsay’s Best Menus: by Gordon Ramsay
Gordon Ramsay’s last TV series, The F Word, culminated in a competition to find the nation’s favourite local restaurant. His new series, Ramsay’s Best Restaurants, continues this theme, focusing on the country’s favourite international cuisines: Italian, French, Spanish, Mediterranean, British, Chinese, Thai, SE Asian, Indian, Moroccan, Mexican and Middle Eastern. To complement the series Gordon has here selected not just his favourite menus from these cuisines, but also the perfect Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter menus. His 52 chosen menus, comprising 156 recipes for starters, main courses and desserts, are displayed in such a way, on sliced pages, that the reader can mix and match to create their own favourite menu for any occasion and any time of year. So not only is there a Gordon menu for every week of the year, but the menus can be reconfigured, by mixing and matching the pages, to create an incredible 140,000 different menu choices. Every recipe contains number of servings, complete ingredients and a simply explained method. Each menu is stunningly photographed from overhead so however the menus mix and match a photograph of every dish will always be shown. Also included is a selection of accompaniments and essential basic recipes.Read more

Josh Niland is a genius – Nigella Lawson
In The Whole Fish Cookbook, groundbreaking seafood chef Josh Niland reveals a completely new way to think about all aspects of fish cookery. From sourcing and butchering to dry ageing and curing, it challenges everything we thought we knew about the subject and invites readers to see fish for what it really is – an amazing, complex source of protein that can and should be treated with exactly the same nose-to-tail reverence as meat.
It features more than 60 recipes for dozens of fish species ranging from Smoked Marlin Ham Caesar Salad, Fish Cassoulet and Roast Fish Bone Marrow to – essentially – The Perfect Fish and Chips. Many of us would like to eat more fish but worry about the environmental impact and often end up cooking the same old salmon fillet on repeat. The Whole Fish Cookbook will soon have you embracing new types and will change the way you buy, cook and eat fish.
There is so much more to a fish than just the fillet, and it is indeed true what they say about there being more than just a handful of fish in the sea.
