Small Adventures in Cooking

An exciting, irrepressible new voice in food, James Ramsden understands a generation that, despite being right in step with current trends, hesitate to cook anything more demanding than pasta. Here the influential food blogger and supper club host aims to get his peers out of their culinary rut and experimenting with recipes that are delicious, unexpected and simple. Recipes include speedy after-work suppers such as Wasabi Chicken Salad with Rice Noodles, food for friends like Spinach and Chickpea Curry or Szechuan Duck, and delicious slow-cooked dishes such as Braised Short Ribs—all easy and achievable for cooks of any ambition.

The NEW VOICES IN FOOD series features rising young stars in the food world, chefs who love to share their culinary talent with friends. With distinctive design and fresh talent, these books showcase simple food and great flavor combinations. Approachable, imaginative recipes and narrative text together encourage each chef’s peers of 20- and 30-somethings to cook the original, modern food they enjoy to fit the lifestyles they lead.

James Ramsden is a 20-something chef hailed by The Times (London) as one of the 40 bloggers really count. He trained at the famous Ballymaloe cooking school in Ireland before launching the Secret Larder Supper Club. He blogs and tweets about his cooking exploits at www.jamesramsden.com and @jteramsden.
