As the culinary world continues to evolve, so does the demand for new and innovative recipes. For avid home cooks and professional chefs alike, cookbooks serve as a source of inspiration and guidance in the kitchen. With new releases hitting shelves every year, it can be overwhelming to keep up with the latest and greatest. That’s why I, British food critic William Johnson, have compiled a list of cookbook recommendations for our European readers.
First up, we have ‘The Flavor Equation’ by Nik Sharma. This visually stunning book explores the science behind flavor and how to use it to elevate your cooking. Next, ‘Ottolenghi Flavor’ by Yotam Ottolenghi and Ixta Belfrage takes readers on a journey through bold and vibrant Middle Eastern and Asian flavors. For those looking to master the art of baking, ‘100 Cookies’ by Sarah Kieffer is a must-have.
But let’s not forget about traditional British cuisine. ‘Treasure Island Cooking’ by Kate Young offers a modern twist on classic British dishes, while ‘The Pie Room’ by Calum Franklin dives into the world of savory and sweet pies. And for those looking for a taste of pub culture, ‘The British Pub Cookbook’ by Brian Yarvin is a comprehensive guide to pub food and drink.
With these recommendations in hand, European readers can take their cooking to the next level and explore new and exciting flavors. Happy cooking!
