Manju's Cookbook - Delicious vegetarian recipes from India

Manju Patel

Summary

Authentic Indian food from Manju, the world's oldest chef, and her award-winning restaurant in this homage to the vegetarian cuisine of Gujarat.

2022 She Awards Outstanding Culinary Skills winner Manju Patel.

The food being served at Manju's fabulous restaurant in Brighton is a homage to the cuisine of Gujarat, where vegetarian cooking is both a religious belief and an environmental cause. Living and growing up in Uganda, Manju was passionate about cooking and was taught to cook by her mother. At the age of 14, she was cooking and supplying 35 tiffins a day, just to make ends meet. In 1972, all East African Asians were exiled from Uganda and Manju arrived in London with little money and went to work in a factory where she stayed until she retired. Her dreams of owning and running a restaurant were forgotten for six decades, until her two sons realized her dreams by opening a restaurant in her honour. Every dish on the menu is cooked alongside her daughter-in-law and head chef Dipali, a highly trained chef, born and raised in Gujarat. So, if eating authentic Indian food intrigues, then try this wonderful collection of authentic Indian recipes, which includes delights such as Samosa Chaat, Surti Shark, Palak Paneer, and Masala Dosa.

Bitters - A Spirited History of...

Brad Thomas Parsons

Gone are the days when a lonely bottle of Angostura bitters held court behind the bar. A cocktail renaissance has swept across the country, inspiring in bartenders and their thirsty patrons a new fascination with the ingredients, techniques, and traditions that make the American cocktail so special. And few ingredients have as rich a history or serve as fundamental a role in our beverage heritage as bitters. 
 
 
 
Author and bitters enthusiast Brad Thomas Parsons traces the history of the world's most storied elixir, from its earliest "snake oil" days to its near evaporation after Prohibition to its ascension as a beloved (and at times obsessed-over) ingredient on the contemporary bar scene. Parsons writes from the front lines of the bitters boom, where he has access to the best and boldest new brands and flavors, the most innovative artisanal producers, and insider knowledge of the bitters-making process. 
 
 
 
Bitters has a dozen recipes for customized blends, as well as tips on sourcing ingredients and step-by-step instructions fit for amateur and seasoned food crafters alike. Also featured are more than seventy cocktail recipes that showcase bitters' diversity and versatility. Last but not least, there is a full chapter on cooking with bitters, with a dozen recipes for sweet and savory bitters-infused dishes.

Malört - The Redemption of a...

Josh Noel

Malört may be the worst thing you'll ever taste. 
 
 
 
Known primarily for its intense bitterness, the infamous Chicago liqueur has been compared to "a forest fire, if the forest was made of earwax." Yet lurking in the horror and the mockery lies the truth of Malört: we keep going back for more. For nearly a hundred years, we've gone back. 
 
 
 
Jeppson's Malört could have died a hundred deaths in that time. Its survival wasn't always a given. There were cultural shifts and fortunate timing that helped transform a drink rooted in centuries-old Swedish tradition into the American sensation it is today. 
 
 
 
Malört is a story of love, relationships, and how one generation finds meaning where generations before did not. 
 
 
 
Author and beer expert Josh Noel unpacks a uniquely American tale, equal parts culture, business, and personal relationships—involving secret love, federal prison, a David vs. Goliath court battle, and the 2018 sale of Jeppson's Malört, which made Pat Gabelick, a seventy-five-year-old Chicago woman who spent much of her life as a legal secretary, into an unlikely millionaire. 
 
 
 
Malört isn't just the story of one brazen liquor—it is the story of modern tastes and cultural shifts.
