Saver of parties, empty fridges and hangovers the world over &ndash; pizza has come to the rescue of the human race more times than is worth counting. So, if you can&rsquo;t imagine your world without dough, cheese and tomato, then this is the book for you. All things pizza are here &ndash; from its history and family tree, to world famous pizzerias and even an exploration into the pizza variants we love to hate (hamburger crust pizza anyone?). The Pizza Pilgrims, Thom and James Elliot, have spent years researching the best pizza that the world has to offer, all while running their own legendary pizza joints across the UK. Alongside pizza maps of their favourite global pizza cities (so you can conduct your very own pizza pilgrimage) the book is also packed with over 30 recipes to make sure you finally delete your local takeaway from speed dial #1. From an NY slice, to true Neapolitan pizza made in a frying pan, Pizza offers classic and new creations, including guest chefs&#39; collabs, and the Pilgrims&#39; very own Nutella pizza ring! Oven fresh and packed with interviews, pizza facts, movie scenes, world records and even pizza tattoos, Pizza is illustrated with all manner of pie-based fun and written with a hearty dose of humour. The perfect companion for the pizza lover in your life. Fact.

Caroline Eden

Winner of the Andr&eacute; Simon Food Book Award 2020Fortnum &amp; Mason&rsquo;s Awards, shortlisted in &lsquo;Food Book&rsquo; category (2021) "Caroline Eden is an extraordinarily creative and gifted writer. Red Sands captures the sights, tastes and feel of Central Asia so well that when reading this book I was sometimes convinced I was there in person. A wonderful book from start to finish." Peter Frankopan, author of The Silk Roads "Caroline Eden, whose book Black Sea was showered with awards, is on the road again, this time travelling through the heart of Asia. It&rsquo;s not your usual cookbook, it&rsquo;s more a travel book with recipes, the recipes acting as postcards which she sends as she meets new characters, most of them involved with food... Eden travels quietly and lets you in on every encounter and every bite. A moving... as well as a fascinating read." Diana Henry, Telegraph "Red Sands follows in the footsteps of Caroline Eden&#39;s previous volume Black Sea. Both are pleasures to read, triangulating journalism, literary writing, and cookbookery. The recipes are part of the reporting, and Eden describes them as edible snapshots." Devra First, Boston GlobeRed Sands, the follow-up to Caroline Eden&rsquo;s multi-award-winning Black Sea, is a reimagining of traditional travel writing using food as the jumping-off point to explore Central Asia. In a quest to better understand this vast heartland of Asia, Caroline navigates a course from the shores of the Caspian Sea to the sun-ripened orchards of the Fergana Valley. A book filled with human stories, forgotten histories and tales of adventure, Caroline is a reliable guide using food as her passport to enter lives, cities and landscapes rarely written about. Lit up by emblematic recipes, Red Sands is an utterly unique book, bringing in universal themes that relate to us all: hope, hunger, longing, love and the joys of eating well on the road.

Winner of the Guild of Food Writers Drinks Book Award 2021Shortlisted for the Andr&eacute; Simon Food and Drink Book Awards 2020"Noble Rot manages to unravel the mysteries of wine with insight and humour. A wonderful - and essential - read for anyone interested in the world of wine, or even for those, like me, who just drink it." &mdash; Nigella Lawson"The Noble Rot guys have the ability to describe wines as if theyre either future friends, or rock-stars coming to blow your mind." &mdash; Caitlin Moran"Noble Rot has brought originality, humour and now space travel to the very serious business of drinking wine. About time too." &mdash; Brian Eno"Dan and Mark do that thing that only crazy knowledgeable enthusiasts can do, they make you a crazy enthusiast too. If they said, &#39;We&#39;ve found a wine like no other, a wine that actually lights up the sky, but you can only drink it in the desert at midnight, are you coming? Id be off, and I&#39;d be confident of meteor showers. They provoke curiosity - &#39;how does anyone make this extraordinary drink just with grapes?&#39; - excitement, joy, and a longing for knowledge. Now, in this book, they&#39;re sharing the knowledge." &mdash; Diana Henry"To really know and love a wine one should know the grower and the vineyard. This isn&#39;t always or even often possible, which is why the Rotters introduce these wines at source. You learn that making wine, as cooking should be, is an act of love. You will come to love this book too." &mdash; Rowley LeighChoosing wine in a restaurant or shop can seem an unfathomable business. But, according to Dan Keeling and Mark Andrew, the duo behind London&#39;s Noble Rot, it needn&#39;t be that way.In Wine from Another Galaxy they&#39;ll help you to understand how it is made, where to buy it, what to look for when you drink it, and how to talk about it. And once you&#39;ve mastered the basics, they&#39;ll take you on a journey through the best of European wine culture, meeting the people and places behind their favourite bottles. Indeed, Dan and Mark have spent years visiting growers that you probably haven&#39;t heard of, from the original thinkers of the natural wine movement to the iconic estates of Burgundy and Bordeaux. This is the alternative, accessible, no-holds-barred guide to wine, where the usual clich&eacute;s and rules don&#39;t apply.
