Save the date for Stuart Ralston’s unique cookbook
|
|
|
 We are delighted to announce that we will be launching Edinburgh chef’s Stuart Ralston’s debut cookbook live on ckbk on the day of publication, October 5. To learn more, read our Cookbook Preview: Catalogued Ideas and Random Thoughts – A Cookbook. We caught up with Ralston just ahead of publication to find out more about his work at renowned Edinburgh restaurants Aizle and Noto, and also tipo, his new pasta venture, and how this led him to write his book.
The book offers a very personal story, reflecting on his life in food and his creative style. It is a document of his magpie mind and the delicious and skilful dishes that result from it. There are treats for the serious foodie, such as the Chawanmushi (a Japanese savory egg custard) that he made for his stint on TV show Great British Menu.

|
 But there are also recipes within the grasp of any home cook – such as the Chocolate Tart previewed in our feature – which still demonstrate his attention to detail and inquiring mind.
For more delicious recipes and insight into the life and work of this influential Scottish talent, make a note in your diary for publication day on October 5. You can also sign up here for new book notifications so that you will never miss a new book being added to ckbk.

Every culture, climate and cuisine, has its version of soup. A bowl of soup is something uniquely comforting, and enjoyed by all. Both filling and nourishing, soup can be made out of almost anything, from larder scraps, to the wealth of your autumn harvest. A broth-based soup is one of the healthiest meals around.

As the season changes, and some of us are preparing to dig out our winter sweaters, it is also a perfect moment to brush up on your soup cookery. For entire books on the subject take a look at our soup bookshelf. Whether you are in the mood for Minestrone, want to rustle up a Char Siu Pork in Miso Ramen, or crave the warmth of Carrot & Cumin Soup, we have all your soup bases covered.

Ingredient spotlight: White Chocolate
|
|
|
Sweet and creamy, white chocolate is nostalgic for many of us, evoking the candy bars of childhood. With the physical properties of chocolate, but without that 'chocolate' flavor, it is also a gift for pastry chefs, with its unlimited potential for flavor pairing. But what is white chocolate? And is it chocolate at all? White chocolate is made from cocoa butter, with the addition of milk and sugar – vegan white chocolate will replace the milk with a plant-based alternative.
|
|
|
 Cocoa butter makes up 40-60 percent of the cocoa bean, and it is possible to extract it, separating it from cocoa mass, the brown and flavorful part of the bean. So, white chocolate behaves like chocolate, with its sumptuous melt, and can be tempered and set to create bars, fine shapes, and enrobe bonbons or truffles. While chocolatier skills might take some practice, white chocolate is also a gift in the domestic kitchen, bringing a rich decadent touch to recipes.
