A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Today we live in a melting pot of global cuisine. An exciting time when it is as normal to eat sushi for lunch as a sandwich, chicken curry is as popular as roast beef, and wok cooking as familiar as boiling. Every nationality brings a cuisine of its own with different cooking methods, diverse raw materials and alternative philosophies, each a new ingredient in the melting pot. Layers of flavour are being built up over time: some bold, some subtle, each distinctly different but equally important. This book is a celebration of our time, a time when we are becoming more confident, culturally curious cooks. Nadia captures the authentic voice of women who, like her, have grown up with parents of English and foreign origin. The sort who store ketchup alongside curry powder and who love Tom Yum Koung as much as Toad in the Hole. They have grown up with the best of both culinary worlds and have access to reliable, authentic culinary knowledge and the opportunity to try something new. Nadia introduces to a world you might otherwise only know if you were born into it. She examines how the history and geography of a nation creates a cuisine and shapes its style. She looks at the lessons she and others have learnt along the way about their cuisine, the habits, diet and etiquette that make us all unique, yet distinctly similar. She explores the essential ingredients and flavours of a cuisine and with easy to follow recipes helps you recreate them. With more than 130 recipes from mouth-watering snacks, simple suppers to festive feasts The Melting Pot is not about recreating national dishes or restaurant classics, but about home cooking. Not caught up with fads or fashion, these are timeless dishes from an eclectic mix of global cultures, some familiar, some less so, cooked at home, by and for families and friends for generations. Informed, interesting, easy to approach and inspirational, The Melting Pot is a cookbook for the truly Epicurious, written for those who want to cook the authentic recipes that make up our modern multicultural diet. So much more than ingredients and instructions, this book takes you on an exciting and colourful journey so you too can discover the world in your kitchen.

This book should be the catalyst to a true cookery revolution. --Helen Jean Tillott, food economist and writer. Co-author of Gordon Ramsay Cookbooks

Informative, exciting and intuitive this is the sort of book that would make even the most kitchen shy punter want to cook something new - and with Nadia's simple instructions and helpful advice they would always be successful! --Matthew Kemp, Director, Underground Catering Company and former chef at The River Café and The Ivy
