Bread was first made at least 14,000 years ago, and this magical alchemy of grain, yeast, and water has been sustaining people ever since. Today, there is not a country in the world that does not enjoy some form of bread as part of their culinary tradition.
The story of bread is the story of civilization – but bread is so much more than a food. It's also a symbol of community and 'breaking bread' a metaphor for shared blessings.
The Little Book About Bread is a celebration of this ancient foodstuff in all its fabulous forms. From sourdough to focaccia and from challah to brioche, it's crammed with fascinating history, fabulous quotes and handy hints and tips. It's little, yes – but large when it comes to shouting about the joy of bread in all its many guises.
A Celebration of Tea.
One of the most popular drinks in the world, over two billion cups of tea are drunk every day! But how do you take yours? With one lump or two? At four o'clock with scones and jam?
From humble beginnings in China over 5000 years ago, the humble cup of tea has become a staple in homes across the globe...

From a summer tipple to a tasty cocktail, dinner accompaniment or festive fizz, you just can't beat it. And as global sales would indicate, Prosecco is the new black.
Bubbling with Prosecco-infused wit and wisdom, and mixed with recipes for some of Italy's most iconic Prosecco cocktails – the Spritz, Rossini, Mimosa – The Little Book of Prosecco is a sparkling celebration of one of the world's best-loved wines that will have you reaching for a bottle and popping that cork in no time.
Prosecco has only 90 calories per glass – that's less than a banana!
From bean to cup and everything in between!
If you like nothing more than waking up to the smell of a freshly brewed cup of coffee, then this is the book for you.
Legend has it that we have an Ethiopian goat herder called Kaldi to thank for the discovery of one of the world's most popular beverages, all the way back in 9th century...
A celebration of all that is neat about tequila.
Following hot on the heels of whisky, vodka and gin, tequila has become the latest spirit to be revolutionised, gentrified, and beautified in the last ten years. Every day a new small-batch, craft, artisan, tequila brand opens its doors to a loyal and thirsty following of blue agave lovers desperate to get their hands on this nectar of the Aztec gods.
The days of slammin' and shootin' shots with a lick of salt and a suck of lemon have passed, and replaced by a definitive twenty-first century glow-up, swapping shot glasses for champagne flutes. Indeed, there is a lot more to tequila than meets the eye, and The Little Book of Tequila has researched itself into sweet oblivion to give its readers more than an eyeful of this mysterious and delicious spirit.
Everything you ever wanted to know about beer but were too busy drinking it to ask.
The Little Book of Beer is a light-hearted, irreverent but also informative book that celebrates beer culture. The book should be something that enlightens the reader while also leaving them foaming (pun intended) at the month at the mere thought of going for a pint. It will show how beer is one of the great unifiers, a drink almost as old as time, and it is something that brings people together and makes them happy. While it celebrates how beer has influenced popular culture and vice versa, it avoids falling into obvious traps of beer snobbery or elitism.
The perfect gift for anyone desiring a richer whisky experience.
Some drinking buddies only ever talk about themselves. Well, not this guy. The Little Book of Whisky is here to listen, entertain and help you imbibe as many whisky-soaked titbits of wit and wisdom as possible.

But now your best friend has a new best friend – The Little Book of Whisky, a tiny tome guaranteed to raise your spirits with its fine blend of whisky facts & stats, quotes & quips, and matured with whisky history and heritage. The Little Book of Whisky is a guaranteed 100 proof... of excellence.
Ginspiration' to keep you shaken and stirred.
Gin may be the national spirit of Britain, but it is now a drink that belongs to the world. It's gone 'ginternational', if you will. Within the last decade or so gin consumption has exploded, becoming the most popular alcoholic refreshment in the world, overtaking whisky and vodka.
Following the rules dictated by supply and demand, The Little Book of Gin is here to toast gin's extraordinary 'ginaissance' in the 21st century and to celebrate everyone's tipple of choice through wit and wisdom, facts and stats in a single serving-sized compendium.
Filled to the rim with history, how to's, what for's, drinking games, cocktail recipes and serving suggestions as well as a whole host of 'gintellectual' curiosites, The Little Book of Gin is 'ginfinite' in its revelry.
The debut cookbook from recipe creator and veganfluencer Julius Fiedler
Discover artisanal, unprocessed recipes from around the world – that just happen to be plant-based.
To many, the vegan movement is a thing of novelty that might pass us by sooner or later. But long before the advent of veganism, plant-based cooking was already essential to most cultures.
With 100 naturally vegan recipes from across the globe - from fluffy Keralan pancakes to lemony Turkish koftesi - Julius explores classic home-cooking techniques and dishes that champion simple, sustainable ingredients.
Naturally Vegan is as much about balancing flavours as it is about making nutrient-rich meals. It’s a reflection on treading lightly on the Earth, slowing down, and taking pleasure in process. Above all, it’s a celebration of traditional plant-based food, of eating and cooking in tune with nature.
What happens when a career you love doesn’t love you back?
As Hannah Selinger will tell you, to be a good restaurant employee is to be invisible. At the height of her career as a server and then sommelier at some of New York’s most famed dining institutions, Selinger was the hand that folded your napkin while you were in the bathroom, the employee silently slipping into the night through a side door after serving meals worth more than her rent.
During her tenure, Selinger rubbed shoulders with David Chang, Bobby Flay, Johnny Iuzzini, and countless other food celebrities of the early 2000’s. Her position allowed her access to a life she never expected; the lavish parties, the tasting courses, the wildly expensive wines – the rare world we see romanticized in countless movies and television shows. But the thing about being invisible is that people forget you’re there, and most act differently when they think no one is looking.
In Cellar Rat, Selinger chronicles her rise and fall in the restaurant business, beginning with the gritty hometown pub where she fell in love with the industry and ending with her final post serving celebrities at the Hamptons classic Nick & Toni’s. In between, readers will join Selinger on her emotional journey as she learns the joys of fine fine dining, the allure and danger of power, and what it takes to walk away from a career you love when it no longer serves you.

101 delicious and achievable, budget-friendly, vegetable-forward recipes made for communal eating and entertaining, from food writer, chef, and supper club host Rosie Kellett.
Sharing a warehouse home in London with her six flatmates has taught supper club host and former Violet Bakery employee Rosie Kellett that making delicious food is possible on any budget. Rosie and her housemates cook and eat most of their meals communally: each person pays just about $30 per week to cover grocery costs and they take turns cooking each night, with everyone coming together to share a meal at the end of the day. Through this approach to cooking and eating, Rosie has come to cherish the physical act of sitting around a table with others, and she has learned how to feed a crowd with minimal effort, waste, and cost.
With her first book In for Dinner, Rosie shares her affordable and approachable recipes that are designed for sharing—be it with friends, family, or yourself (leftovers!). From a flavorful and comforting Conchigliette with Porcini Mushroom Ragu and a bake-and-blend Roasted Carrot, Cumin, and Coconut Soup to an irresistible Hot Harissa Shakshuka and a delicious and endlessly customizable Dark Chocolate Raspberry Cake, Rosie is a pro at coaxing sophisticated flavors from humble ingredients. The recipes often serve up to eight and mirror the way Rosie and her housemates eat—mostly vegetarian with a little bit of fish now and again—to maximize affordability and nourishment, but the dishes are impressive enough to serve up at your next dinner party.
While a communal lifestyle isn’t everyone’s reality, Rosie believes that coming together to share food is more economical and also creates joyful opportunities to connect at the end of each day.
