Food and drink

  • What I Ate in One Year

    £10.99

    Sharing food is one of the purest human acts. Food has always been an integral part of Stanley Tucci’s life: from stracciatella soup served in the shadow of the Pantheon, to marinara sauce cooked between scene rehearsals and costume fittings, to home-made pizza eaten with his children before bedtime. Now, in ‘What I Ate In One Year’, Tucci records 12 months of eating, in restaurants, kitchens, film sets, press junkets, at home and abroad, with friends, with family, with strangers, and occasionally just by himself. Ranging from the mouth-wateringly memorable, to the comfortingly domestic, to the infuriatingly inedible, the meals memorialised in this diary are a prism for him to reflect on the ways his life, and his family, are constantly evolving. Through food he marks – and mourns – the passing of time, the loss of loved ones, and steels himself for what is to come.

  • Sabzi

    £26.00

    Sabzi – the Persian word for fresh greens and herbs – isn’t a casual afterthought in Yasmin Khan’s kitchen; instead they are the cornerstone of the meals she cooks, the bedrock of khorests, curries, soups, salads and frittatas. In this book, Yasmin shares the food she most often cooks at home, which just happens to be vegetarian and often vegan, inspired by her Pakistani and Iranian heritage, her mother’s cooking and her travels around the world. With dishes that always put fresh plants at the heart of a meal, and in chapters such as magnificent mezze, soups for every season and delightful desserts, recipes in the book include: Halloumi Lasagne; Stuffed Aubergines with Pomegranates, Walnuts and Feta; Persian Celery and Bean Stew; Dark Chocolate and Dried Lime Tart, and many more.

  • Serving Up

    £12.99

    Here is a collection of essays about food and its powerful link to identity, culture and community, from twenty exciting voices around the world. We hear about a family ritual of drying mango and pickling limes in India, and the search for a father’s favourite hotdog in North Carolina. We investigate Latino food in cinema and vegetarianism in Buddhist diets, the cultural appropriation of Chinese food and the effect of gentrification on Black communities. And we learn about the grassroots organisations fighting for change, for equality for farmers and for better mental health provisions in kitchens, where toxicity and micro-aggressions are rife.

  • I’m Mostly Here to Enjoy Myself

    £10.99

    Come to Paris, August 2021, when the City of Lights was still empty of tourists and a thirst for long-overdue pleasure gripped those who wandered its streets. After New York City emptied out in March 2020, Glynnis MacNicol, aged forty-six, unmarried with no children, spent sixteen months alone in her tiny Manhattan apartment. The isolation was punishing. A year without touch. Women are warned of invisibility as they age, but this was an extreme loneliness no one can prepare you for. When the opportunity to sublet a friend’s apartment in Paris arose, MacNicol jumped on it. Leaving felt less like a risk than a necessity. What follows is a decadent, joyful, unexpected journey into one woman’s pursuit of radical enjoyment.
