THE RECIPE

JOSH EMETT, UPSTART PRESS, $49.99

The restaurant dishes a home cook should make at least once in a lifetime, as selected by Josh Emett. Painstakingly researched (partly in our shop) and tested, with 317 recipes from 150 of the world’s best chefs, it’s a Larousse of doable recipes for the home cook. During the research they asked one of our team for her favourite book and recipe. She answered “Darina Allen’s Forgotten Skills of Cooking and probably the colcannon.” It’s in there! Look it up when the weather cools down a bit.
