Over 140 recipes from the chef of New York City’s world-famous Tabla restaurant. Cardoz is truly one of the world’s most exciting innovators. This collection bridges the gap between the Western palate and the wonderful taste memories that have remained so pungent from the food of his childhood in Bombay and Goa. It is a book for home cooks who wish to enjoy the flavours of India but who might have been intimidated by the unusual and numerous spices required. Cardoz renders these spices user-friendly, and shows you how to seamlessly integrate these new flavours into your cooking through his tried and tested techniques – with stunning results.

Floyd Cardoz was born in Bombay and after culinary school in India and Switzerland moved to New York. In 1997, together with Danny Meyer, he created Tabla, which was given three stars by the New York Times shortly after it opened. One Spice, Two Spice is his first book.

Rick Bayless is the world’s leading writer on Mexican food and until the publication of this award-winning book, the food loving public have had few authorities to help translate the heart of this world class cuisine to everyday cooking. His recipes provide inspiration and guidance, mixed with passion, clarity and humour. Mexican Kitchen has established itself as the ‘Bible’ of Mexican cooking, and is a must for all lovers of Mexican food.

‘Before Rick Bayless, Mexican food was misunderstood and underappreciated by most Europoeans; after Bayless that should all change.’
Loyd Grossman

‘The definitive guide to recreating the country’s tastiest mortsels’
The Daily Express

‘Here’s the book that will give you more uses for hot peppers than most. Chipotle, poblano and habanero – Bayless describes their distinctive qualities and instructs on their deployment in the salsas and flavouring pastes that form the basis of 150 recipes which make up the bulk of the book. But upfront he offers simpler suggestions for splashing their flavour into casually instant dishes.’

AWARD-WINNING:

‘Best UK Chocolate Book’
2007 World Gourmand Awards

The Divine chocolate cookbook is an unashamedly gorgeous celebration of the wonderful Fairtrade chocolate produced by the Divine Chocolate Company – featuring over 100 mouth-watering chocolate based recipes ranging from fantastic cakes to sweets, puddings and pastries and on through to exotic cocktails and even savoury dishes. Described as ‘the chocolate with a heart’, Divine is the first Fairtrade chocolate aimed at the mass confectionery market. It is also the only Fairtrade chocolate that is co-owned by the Ghanaian co-operative of cocoa farmers, Kuapa Kokoo, so not only do the farmers receive a fair price but they also share in the company’s profits. Awarded top-rating by the Telegraph’s panel of chocolate experts, all Divine chocolate is made with pure cocoa butter and real vanilla to ensure a taste that truly is divine. Mouthwatering photography from Lisa Barber makes this book look every bit as good as its recipes taste.

All the royalties from the sale of this book will go to the Divine Chocolate Company and the farmers of Kuapa Kokoo.

Linda Collister is a highly respected author of many successful books on baking, bread making and chocolate – she is in fact often referred to as the ‘Queen of Chocolate’.
