Carl Clarke

Longlisted for the Andr&eacute; Simon Food and Drink Book Awards 2020Carl Clarke has garnered the reputation from his industry peers and the general public alike as an authority and advocate on cooking ethically reared chicken.What he doesn&#39;t know about chicken isn&#39;t worth knowing, from brining and seasoning to poaching, grilling and frying. The Whole Chicken is not only an homage to the world&#39;s most eaten meat, but also a demonstration of its versatility, from the pie that everyone wants to perfect, to the spicy and sour chicken thighs found on the hawker stalls on the streets of Seoul.With detailed, step-by-step photography showing exactly how to joint a chicken, the chapters that follow &ndash; whole bird, breast, wing, thigh, leg, skin, bone and offal &ndash; show exactly how to use every last scrap.This is in equal parts a cookbook, a compendium, and a love letter, with a whole lot of style and personality to frame it.

"This book is an enthusiastic friend, ready to take you into the kitchen so that you can learn about this rich, multi-faceted culinary culture &mdash; at once so sophisticated and yet so boisterously earthy &mdash; for yourself."&#160;&ndash; Nigella Lawson 
 
"A vibrant joyous book! Shu has captured not just the richness and diversity of Singaporean food - through this book she is inviting you into her kitchen to share all the happiness that food brings to her life." &ndash; Asma Khan 
 
"The book I wish I had written." &ndash; Meera Sodha 
 
In Singapore, cooking the agak agak way is cooking with intent and intuition. 
 
 &lsquo;Agak agak&rsquo; is a colloquial term rooted in the Malay word for &lsquo;somewhat&rsquo;. This term comes to life especially in the home kitchen, where cooks rely on their senses and experience, rather than tools or exact formulas. 
 
 Singaporean cuisine, as we know it today, has come from a long history of adjusting and adapting and doing things &lsquo;to taste&rsquo;. In Agak Agak, Shu Han Lee encapsulates this approach to cooking by sharing delicious recipes that bring punchy Singaporean flavours to simple home cooking, whilst encouraging you to use these recipes as inspiration to create other dishes. 
 
 Try classic and modern recipes such as Kaya Toast with Half-Boiled Eggs, Nasi Goreng, 8-hour Ox Cheek Rendang, Green Beans with Turmeric and Toasted Coconut, Chilli Crab Spaghetti, Mum&rsquo;s Steamed Pumpkin Rice, Pandan Swiss Roll and Black Sticky Rice Pudding with Rhubarb, amongst others. 
 
 With tips and tricks, Agak Agak shares more than Singaporean recipes perfect for home cooks, it shares a fun, fresh and creative way of cooking.

The concept of self-care is, in fact, thousands of years old. This buzzword is rooted in a 2,500-year old Chinese philosophy. &lsquo;Yang sheng&rsquo; means to nourish life &ndash; fostering your own health and wellbeing by nurturing body, mind and spirit.In this book, Katie Brindle teaches readers how to harness this powerful natural healing system to improve every aspect of their life.Yang Sheng fits and works brilliantly in modern life. Some of the techniques may seem unusual, but they are all simple, quick and effective. Even more appealing, a key principle of Chinese medicine is balance; that means not being perfect or excluding foods or having too many rules or pushing yourself to exhaustion with overwork or over-exercise. And so, Yang Sheng encourages you to have the green juice and the glass of wine, a full-on day at work and a night out dancing.For people who are overtired and overtaxed, stressed, lacking a sex drive, or who feel anxious or hopeless, the practice of Yang sheng restores balance. Our bodies are designed to self-heal &ndash; Yang Sheng knows the mechanics of how to activate this.
