In the thirty years since Ann and Franco Taruschio took over The Walnut Tree Inn, four days after their wedding in November 1963, the former pub in a picturesque hamlet in South Wales has become one of the most distinctive and best-loved restaurants in Britain.
Franco's cuisine is highly individual, and the diverse influences - Italian, Welsh and Far Eastern - which have helped to shape it are evident in many of the 200 recipes in this book. They launch with mouthwatering antipasti such as Olive Ascolane, Piedmontese Peppers and Lady Llanover's Salted Duck. As you would expect from someone who spent his formative years near Ancona, on the Adriatic, fish and seafood feature strongly in Franco's cuisine, and among his specialities are Brodetto, Red Mullet Anconetana, Curried Prawns and Pineapple, and Panache of Fish With Warm Balsamic Vinaigrette. Even Franco's repertoire of pasta dishes extends beyond the Italian, for in addition to Passatelli Pesaro Style and Vincisgrassi an eighteenth-century recipe - there is a delicious Ukrainian Ravioli. The Taruschios have an enviable supply of high-quality meat, with fresh Welsh lamb available all year round and a rich variety of game in the area, and Franco puts it all to exotic use in recipes such as Tournedos Rossini, Carre of Welsh Lamb with Wild Mushrooms, and Duck in Sweet and Sour Sauce. No less cosmopolitan are his desserts, ranging from their ever popular Torte with Three Liqueurs and Cassata Gelata to Bilberry Ice-cream, based on a Russian recipe, Gateau Ambassadeur and Bavarian Pudding.
Illustrated with the delightful wood engravings of Sarah van Niekerk, Leaves from The Walnut Tree, in celebrating the culinary talent of a true original like Franco Taruschio, also reminds us that great cooking, like great art, crosses all boundaries.£70.00 -

The number of brands grows every day and bartenders - and consumers - are now beginning to re-examine gin as a quality base spirit for drinks both simple and complex. Now, with more brands available than ever before, it is the time to set out what makes gin special, what its flavours are and how to get the most out of the brands you buy. With this book as your guide, discover: How gin is made, what a botanical is and how they impact a gin's flavour, what the difference between Dutch, London, Scottish, Spanish and American gins is, how you drink them to maximise your pleasure, whether there is life beyond the gin & tonic (yes!). The body of the book covers 120 gins which Dave has tested four ways - with tonic, with lemonade, in a negroni and in a martini - and then scored. In addition, each gin is categorised according to an ingenious flavour camp system, which highlights its core properties and allows you to understand how you can best drink it, and therefore enjoy it.”

There is also advice on new ways of using more familiar ingredients. Amazon review – “I just love this book. It is not only an excellent guide to cooking with exotic ingredients but also produces very delicious results. Before I bought this book, I used to be rather reluctant to use new ingredients, simply because I did not know anything about them. Sophie Grigson provides very interesting recipes with very unusual combination of ingredients but they always surprisingly taste wonderful.”

Food with the Famous is a book to read and savour. Full of delights, it is the perfect bedside companion and a unique recipe book - part cookery, part social history.
The book is based on a series of articles written by Jane Grigson for the Observer Colour Magazine, which she herself described as "the series I have most enjoyed writing in eleven years at the Observer. The excuse to re-read favourite novels, look again at favourite painters, visit places associated with them, spend hours in collections of letters and in journals.., gave me a chance of relating cookery to life beyond the kitchen. Which is what in the end, I think cookery should do."
In this fascinating work she takes eleven famous women and men and explores their culinary lives, giving the reader a chance to cook and share some of the meals they themselves enjoyed. She starts her exploration with the great diarist, gardener and traveller John Evelyn and continues chronologically, showing the development of cookery, to Parson Woodforde, Jane Austen and Sydney Smith to Thomas Jefferson, Lord and Lady Shaftesbury, Alexander Dumas, Zola, Proust and Monet.
Jane Grigson's untimely death in 1990 was a great loss; her writing was always full of life and her recipes, so clear and concise always stimulated the imagination. This is a classic work for those who may be coming to her writing for the first time as well as for those who may wish to rediscover her wonderful scholarship and wit.£17.50 -

Here is a comprehensive collection of the best in Russian cooking. There are over three hundred recipes, ranging from the homely cabbage soup (Schi) to dishes suitable for a formal banquet such as veal with caviar sauce. An excellent and varied cold buffet can be offered from the large selection of Zakouski and Supper dishes or an entirely Russian meal composed of internationally renowned food such as Borsch and Chicken Kieff. This book will also be of use to anyone visiting the Soviet Union as it tells of the food and the drink a traveller is likely to encounter.
Besides providing recipes this book also indicates at what meals the various dishes are usually served. It describes old customs and examines how the cuisine of the country has evolved over the centuries.
Although some of the ingredients may appear unfamiliar, they are all obtainable without difficulty from delicatessen and health stores in provincial, towns as well as in the large cities.
Most of the recipes are easy to make and the average housewife is sure to enjoy adding some of these little known and delicious dishes to her usual menus.
The author was born at the beginning of the century in Tsarist Russia, and is a niece of the Tsar of Russia. After the Revolution she left the country with her family, and her youth was spent in the entirely Russian atmosphere of the emigre colony in Paris between the two World Wars. Over the past twenty years she has on numerous occasions visited the Soviet Union, collecting and trying out recipes, and speaks from personal experience of the way of life in that country.£30.00 -

Arabian cooking seems to most Westerners as exotic as the Arabian Nights. This book presents the well known intricate dishes such as the numerous stuffed vegetables that originated in the elegant courts of the Caliphates.
Other foods have a cultural significance, marking the end of the Ramadan fast or the birth of a child. Arabian hospitality demands that coffee and refreshments be offered in abundance to bid each honored guest welcome.
But the greatest appeal of Arabian cuisine lies in the simple family dishes that have served a rugged people for centuries. Thick nutritious soups are a meal in themselves. The great variety of Middle Eastern vegetables combines with a small quantity of meat to produce tasty stews. A wide selection of seasonal fresh foods is supplemented by winter favorites like burghol and dried beans, always with the right touch of herbs and spices.
Arabian cooking, part of the familiar Mediterrean tradition, is the original health food: imaginative, very economical, and superbly delicious.£25.00 -
