"Tim Anderson is the perfect combination of eater, teacher and guide and this thrilling exploration of the food of Japan's Hokkaido brings all those talents together. It's a must have for any cook's kitchen." – Jay Rayner

"A fascinating, mouthwatering journey into the food and history of the northern Japanese island that brilliantly showcases its unique cultural and culinary heritage." – Melissa Thompson

Hokkaido is a cookbook that celebrates Japan’s northernmost island. Known especially for its seafood and dairy products, Hokkaido is a Japanese prefecture that has long been beloved for its vibrant culinary scene.

The prefecture incorporates three foodways – European agricultural models; traditional and modern Japanese cuisine; and indigenous Ainu gastronomy – which have led to it to have a distinct food culture from the rest of Japan. Hokkaido showcases the variety – and quality! – of the food that the prefecture has to offer with a selection of delicious recipes. Think Sweetcorn with Soy Sauce Butter and Rice Dumplings with Walnut Sauce; big dishes such as Fried Salmon Rice Bowl and Sapporo Miso Ramen; and sweet treats like ‘Snowmelt’ Cheesecake and Crispy Sweetcorn Chocolate.

The recipes mostly fall into two categories: traditional, regional dishes and homages to specific dishes. There are also four Ainu recipes, which have been contributed by an Ainu chef, Hiroaki Kon. With travelogues exploring different regions, as well as beautiful photography, Hokkaido showcases one of the most unique and wonderful places to eat in the world.

In A Long Way South, itinerant traveller Sara Stewart relates memories salvaged from her explorations of Latin America during 1974/5, a turbulent, politically unstable period where kidnappings and smuggling were commonplace, where dead bodies lined the roads and where tanks guarded the streets of two capitals following a military coup and insurgency. Posing as the ship captain's niece, Sara crossed the Atlantic in a cargo boat before docking in Veracruz, Mexico. There she followed an Irishman and his pack of hounds as they hunted jackals through desert cacti, then met film makers and fishermen - and fell in love.

Travelling by local buses and trains, she gradually headed south, watching dead bodies pile up in Central American countries and celebrating Christmas in El Salvador, before eventually reaching South America. In Ecuador she rode on a train roof through towering landscapes and encountered tribal people, then travelled by sea to the fabled Galápagos Islands. Once back on the South American mainland, she braved rampant lawlessness in Lima, tanks and troops lining the streets of the Peruvian capital.

In Bolivia she joined a bus full of female smugglers, traversed flooded rivers and survived freezing nights. Tanks also characterised Sara's time in Santiago, the Chilean capital, which had just experienced a military coup that ended democracy and established General Pinochet's long-lasting dictatorship. Continuing southwards, Sara crossed the vastness of Patagonia to endure rough seas on a boat with esteemed author Bruce Chatwin, before venturing across the Andes into Argentina.

The country proved to be out of control, characterised by crazy inflation, political mayhem and kidnappings, and abject poverty contrasting with ostentatious wealth. Reaching Brazil, Sara's journey culminated with marvelling at Iguaçu Falls before unexpectedly partying with notorious Great Train Robber and fugitive Ronnie Biggs near Rio de Janeiro's Ipanema Beach. An authentic recollection of intrepid travels during an era long before travel became straightforward, the memoirs collated in A Long Way South are a thrilling, engaging read - a compendium of tales as much about remarkable people as they are about the diverse, fascinating places and charged political situations that characterised 1970s Latin America.

Journey through Southern India is a delightfully irreverent yet insightful travel memoir that invites readers to join two wisecracking retirees on an extraordinary three-week odyssey across the dazzling landscapes of southern India. It neatly fills in some of the geographical gaps left after the duo's tour of northern India, described in author Mark Probert's 2021 book, Journey through India (2021). The two British pensioners' latest 'trip of a lifetime' proves to be an unforgettable tour brimming with strange encounters, near-misses and life-affirming moments.

This book's refreshing candour and gentle wit sweep readers into a kaleidoscope of rich experiences. With travels taking in the bustling streets of Mumbai and the serene backwaters of Kerala, ancient temples of Hampi and the modern experimental township of Auroville, the cricket world cup and the world's largest bust, this fast-moving narrative is an immersion into a dazzling world of vibrant colours, exotic aromas and cacophonous soundscapes. From your armchair, you can meet an internationally famous yoga guru, swim in the Arabian Sea and celebrate Diwali in what was once the world's second-largest city, Hampi.

Whether dodging Delhi belly with a thimbleful of Imodium, nearly causing an international incident at the Auroville exhibition centre or finding themselves accidentally stoking political fervour at a Mumbai rally, Mark and his best friend Nick gamely stumble into experiences that would shake travel certainties in even the most daring souls. Yet it is his openness to adventure, self-deprecating humour in the face of chaos and profound appreciation for the diversity of the human spirit that makes Mark such an enchanting and compelling guide on this intercultural exploration of India's intoxicating extremes. Fun yet thoughtful, and written in richly descriptive prose, Journey through Southern India takes readers far beyond a typical tour itinerary to deliver an authentic, amusing and surprisingly moving account of a traveller's quest for perspective, connection and meaning amid the beautiful contradictions of the subcontinent.

This is a perceptive, open-hearted memoir of an unforgettable journey - one that inspires us to live every adventure to its fullest.

For 15 years, award-winning travel writer Stephen McClarence and his BBC Radio journalist wife Clare Jenkins made a series of journeys through India to learn about one of its most eccentric and fast-dwindling communities: the Anglo-Indians. Mainly descendants of British men and Indian women, their combined heritage stretches back 350 years through the times of the East India Company and the British Raj. In Jhansi - a railway hub in the state of Uttar Pradesh and inspiration for John Masters's 1950s book Bhowani Junction - the Anglo-Indian community is reduced to around 30 families.

Teatime at Peggy's shares their stories. Inspired by Jenkins' own Anglo-Indian family connections, the couple immersed themselves in the customs of this little-known dimension to India, soon developing a profound affection for their new friends, particularly for two of the area's most memorable figureheads: the title character 'Aunty Peggy', daughter and widow of railwaymen, overseer of the European cemetery, and 'friend of the great and the good, the rich and the poor'; and Captain Roy Abbott, the last British landowner in India, who never dined without wearing a blazer, cravat and immaculately pressed trousers. The authors spent hours at Peggy's kitchen table - eating cake, samosas and curry; drinking tea; welcoming eccentric characters, like Pastor Rao who could recite Winston Churchill speeches from memory; listening to stories, told in lilting accents, of the Railway Institute and May Queen Balls, Monsoon Toad Balls (where 'the ugliest, most hideous-looking man' would win the prize), waltzes and foxtrots, dancing in the jungle to Victor Silvester gramophone records, games of rummy and housey-housey, and Anglo-Indian cookery that embraced plum cake, goat's brain curry, Mulligatawny soup and crème caramel.

Warm, humorous and evocative, Teatime at Peggy's is a lyrical, loving homage to the Anglo-Indians. Filled with larger-than-life characters and with the ever-present exhilaration of 21st-century India, it is both intimate and revelatory, and a testament to the importance of tradition, community and friendship. This enchanting book is for anyone who knows India well - or who simply yearns to take the 'trip of a lifetime' to the 'sub-continent' and see things a little differently.
