Superiority Burger Cookbook: The
Vegetarian Hamburger Is Now Delicious by Brooks Headley is
a home-cook-friendly book on American vegetarian (and accidentally
vegan) cooking, featuring over 90 dynamic recipes. Headley's
restaurant, Superiority Burger, gave the people what they never
knew they wanted: a tasty, inexpensive veggie burger and a
constantly changing roster of non-French fried sides. Inciting a
civilized vegetable revolution, the chef and his crew rewrote the
rules of non-meat cookery. This book introduces readers to
vegetable cooking in a way that few vegetarian cookbooks have even
attempted. The book is divided into five flavorful sections:
Sandwiches, Cool Salads, Warm Vegetables, Soups and Stews, and
Sweets, and reveals the recipes for some of the restaurant's
favorites.
The Kitchen Shortcut
Bible by Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough is for all of
us who love to cook, but never seem to have enough time. Rather
than a book of way-too-clever hacks, this is a collection of more
than 200 ingenious recipes that supercharge your time in the
kitchen without sacrificing high quality or fresh flavor.
Fast Cakes: Easy Bakes in
Minutes by Mary Berry is an unmissable, definitive
new baking book from Mary Berry. Mary has incorporated her
'all-in-one' method of preparation into as many recipes as
possible, so her recipes are faster to make than ever. Nearly 100
of the bakes take only 10 minutes to make and Mary has included
small bake variations for fruit cakes, which traditionally take a
long time in the oven, so you can make one even when you are pushed
for time. There are scones, buns and biscuits that you can whip up
for tea, traybakes and fruit loaves perfect for a school or village
fete and of course foolproof cakes for every occasion from everyday
recipes.
Joe Knows Fish: Taking the
Intimidation Out of Cooking Seafood by Joe Gurrera, one of
New York's most-beloved fishmongers, and owner of the prestigious
Citarella markets, is on a mission to show us how easy it is to
cook seafood. Customers tell Joe again and again that they're
afraid to cook fish. They don't know how to buy it or prepare it.
Enter Joe Knows Fish. This book is a roadmap for
novices looking to learn the basics of sourcing and cooking fish.
With his easy-to-follow recipes and experience-based tips, Joe
takes the intimidation out of cooking seafood.

big get-togethers and lazy weekends at home, as well as simple and
satisfying solutions for busy weeknights and speedy showstoppers
for impromptu guests.

the very best of the dishes the author has developed over the
last twenty years in her New 
York City restaurant for the
contemporary palate. Relying on a traditional pantry (including

profiles in updated ways to dazzling effect.
