The little book for aperitifs

For Kate Hawkings, an aperitif is more than a modest opener to the culinary ball. After all, a pre-dinner drink can make or break the banquet that follows. The fifty drinks in The little book for aperitifs avoid pitfalls like too sweet, too strong or too full deftly, whether you prefer spirits or wine as a base. Bonus: Hawkings' classic recipes with a twist are also light in alcohol, so cut out for the swelling trend to take it a little easier on the promilions.

Mi Cocina

Although Rick Martínez grew up in Austin, Texas, he could not resist the lure of his native Mexico for long. His more than 300-page Mi Cocina is a cookbook, travelogue and love letter all in one, while providing valuable insights into the country's culture. And how: after a chapter on the basics of Mexican cuisine, Martínez throws his suitcase in the boot and travels all over the country to personally extract local chefs and home cooks' most authentic recipes and stories. Indispensable in su casa So.

Ammu

In her latest book, the London-based chef and Netflix cook Asma Khan gives mother's pappot a new dimension. Ammu begins as an ode to her Indian mother, to then draw out her rich traditions and wise life lessons more broadly; from recipes that changed her life to the dishes Khan puts on the table for her own two sons. In the process, the word comfort falls remarkably often, something underlined not only by the cosy embroidered cover, but also by heart-felt meals like Khan's fragrant Chicken biryani and her Korma with Nine Jewels.
