Celebrating the 40th anniversary of Madhur Jaffrey’s Indian Cookery
|
|
|
We are delighted to offer a newly updated version of Jaffrey’s seminal book on ckbk, available as an optional à la carte add-on* on publication day (October 12). Glamorous actress, cookbook author, TV chef, the redoubtable Madhur Jaffrey brought Indian cookery into homes across the UK with her books, and her elegant and irresistible on-screen demonstrations.
|
|
We caught up with Jaffrey ahead of publication to discuss her eminent career, her favourites among her books and recipes, and what drove her to teach us all about Indian cuisine – if she could she would teach the whole world to make a good biryani.
For a further taste of quite how important Jaffrey’s work has been in the development of Indian cooking in Britain, watch this short interview from the BBC.

In her classic cookbook Sicilian Feasts – newly reissued in an updated edition featuring additional recipes from the Pasta Grannies YouTube channel – cookbook author and culinary instructor Giovanna Bellia La Marca takes us on a tempting and informative culinary journey to the island of her birth. Born in Ragusa, the southernmost city in Sicily, La Marca moved to the US at age 10, and now lives in New Jersey.
|
|
After a twenty year career as an art and Italian teacher she took her love of the food of her homeland beyond her own kitchen, and began to share it with students and home cooks through her classes and writing.
Try Sicilian Rice Balls (Arancini) filled with ricotta cheese, or a Frittata with Onions and Potatoes.

Store-cupboard cookery may be a buzzword for making supper more convenient, but how easy is it really to make something delicious from the contents of your cupboard, or even a tin?

Ingredient spotlight: chestnuts
|
|
|
Chestnut is a name given to many nuts, but is primarily used for the European ‘sweet’ chestnut – a tree from temperate climates. Chestnuts contain more starch and less oil than other nuts, and their culinary value and use stems from this. They were traditionally a staple food of some regions, but now feature as more of a luxury. Mildly sweet, with a comforting toasted flavor, they work well in both sweet and savory dishes, and their flour is a great (gluten free) addition to the pastry kitchen.
