the green kitchen: techniques and recipes for cutting energy use, saving money, reducing waste the green kitchen: techniques and recipes for cutting energy use, saving money, reducing waste
Richard Ehrlich

A much-needed book, and the first to tackle this subject. The kitchen consumes about half of the energy used in our homes and careful changes in our kitchen practices can make a vital difference to the environment - as well as to our gas and electricity bills. "The Green Kitchen" is an inspirational and practical cookbook.

Recipes are divided into cooking methods. The first chapter discusses the 'Magic Lid' and how to use the saucepan to achieve a crispy finish. The microwave, though much despised, is an incredibly efficient cooking machine and Richard will also show you how to make best use of the oven.
Chapters also discuss food miles, kitchen consumables, cleaning and storing as well as green kitchen design.

british seasonal food british seasonal food
Mark Hix

Most ingredients are now available all year round, flown in from afar as necessary, but there is no doubt that food eaten in season - and preferably grown as close to home as possible - tastes far better. Mark Hix cares passionately about British food and is keen for readers to experience the excitement that cooking seasonally offers. In "British Seasonal Food", he draws attention month-by-month to the home-grown ingredients that are at their seasonal best.
He provides information on where to buy and source the foods, how to prepare and cook them, and suggests simple ways to serve them - to enjoy their flavour to the full. For each featured ingredient, he also presents a selection of inventive mouth-watering recipes - Chilled Pea and Lovage Soup, Fried Green Tomatoes in Beer Batter, Autumn Fruits with Sloe Gin Jelly - all superbly photographed by Jason Lowe. Original drawings help to capture the mood of the seasons throughout the book. 240pp hardback

the slow cooker cookbook the slow cooker cookbook
Gina Steer

Slow cookers are all too often thought of as an electrical casserole, suitable only for stewing cheaper cuts of meat. This book dispels the myth with a variety of tempting and inspiring recipes. Create sumptuous soups and silky sauces, succulent fish, perfectly moist poultry, flavour-packed vegetables and indulgent desserts.

Slow cooking is the perfect method to achieve maximum flavour and tenderness, with the added bonus both of saving on fuel bills and leaving you free to do other things while your meal cooks for you. Try a 'wild mushroom and chilli soup', 'saffron, scallop and shrimp risotto', 'rich lamb ragu', 'winter vegetable casserole with parmesan' or 'orange and date sponge'. 144pp

scoop: the little handbook of traditional ice cream recipes scoop: the little handbook of traditional ice cream recipes
Natasha Zabolsky

Ice cream has an undeservedly tricky reputation. Most people believe that if you want to make ice cream at home you either have to buy an expensive and complex machine, or be willing to fetch your mixture from the freezer once an hour and beat it until your arm aches. Newsflash: ice cream is one of the simplest treats you can make.

With the right recipes, a huge range of frozen delights is within your reach, using just a bowl, a whisk, a handful of ingredients and the freezer compartment of your refrigerator.Some of these recipes take five minutes to whisk (the more elaborate ones might take ten), and only a couple of hours to freeze: they are fast, simple, and utterly delicious. So, whether your taste is for a delicious, classic, creamy vanilla, a clear, pure fruit ice, or a more complex confection featuring lemons and meringue with swirls of tart yoghurt sauce, "Scoop" shows you how to do it. 128pp
