Our kitchen was never quiet – music, laughter, coffee brewing, little footsteps, and always Jock in the middle, usually with one of his children nearby, learning or helping. Before we lost him, Jock was working on this cookbook. So we decided to finish it for him. Recipes to Remember are the meals he made for us – birthday dinners, comfort food, meals with friends, quiet moments. It’s the food our kids will remember. And now, we’re sharing it with you. Thank you for giving him a place in your kitchen. Featuring Jock’s favourite recipes from some of his mates, including Jamie Oliver, Gordon Ramsay, Nigella Lawson, Marco Pierre White, Rick Stein, Maggie Beer, Christian Puglisi, Andy Allen, and Jimmy and Jane Barnes.

Roti
Dear Village Roti $37.99
Over 90 recipes featuring the humble roti and its many accompanimentsRoti is perhaps one of India's most versatile, yet unassuming, dishes. Bake it on a griddle, stuff it with mashed potatoes, lather it in ghee or butter, pair it with curries and pickles, roast it, fry it, or bake it in a tandoor. It is made with many grains, but traditionally with wheat flour. It is no wonder then that Roti is integral to Indian and cuisines from other South Asian countries, such as Pakistan and Bangladesh and a popular accompaniment in most Asian cuisine restaurants.In Roti, author Anuradha Ravindranath introduces the reader to the different facets of this unprepossessing flatbread. She draws on her memories as a child, of her mother buying whole wheat grain at a market, of it drying on the rooftop of their Delhi home, of the trips to a nearby mill so that it is ground into fresh, warm flour, and the fluffy rotis fresh off the pan that was an enduring staple for lunches.In doing so, Anuradha Ravindranath skilfully weaves her memories of the flatbread with over 90 delicious recipes and turns the humble roti into a delightful, glamorous showstopper. Packed with photographs, the book will feature accompaniments to rotis by way of dips and pickles, as well as easy-to-follow tips in classic DK style.
