Tori Haschka

Transport your kitchen on a trip around the world with this delicious collection of cultural cuisine. If you’ve ever found yourself dreaming about that time you spent sipping Margaritas in Mexico, or when you had to have just one more croquette from the mouth-watering displays of tapas in Spain, you’re not alone. Tastes, aromas and the whole foodie experience of a country can stay with you for years, and make you want to pack your bags and relive that moreish moment in time. Food and travel writer Tori Haschka felt exactly the same every time she travelled, finding herself collecting Post-It notes of memorable dishes she’d eaten and then – when she got home – she’d capture her experiences through recreating recipes. Split into chapters covering brunch, sweet treats and summer and winter recipes, you can try her slow-cooked ribs from Brooklyn, the perfect pasta from Rome or luscious lentil koshary from Cairo; each recipe is a delicious memory waiting to be brought back to life in her home and yours. Who knows, it may even inspire you to book a flight and take a foodie journey of your own!

Do you want more energy? Do you want to lose weight and keep it off - without depriving yourself? Or do you simply want to be more adventurous in the kitchen and plan a meal that ISN'T based on either bread, potatoes, pasta or rice? Tori Haschka loves comfort foods more than anything but they don't always love her. She knows what it's like to use white carbs as a culinary crutch. Until she was a teenager, she would only eat things that were a pale hue. Rice. Bread. Potatoes. Noodles. Then, after an illness, she decided to try new ways to feed herself, her friends and her hungry husband. This book is a result of the many ways she discovered to happily and greedily avoid white carbs, taking inspiration from all over the world. Since eating like this, she has felt healthier and gained energy, her skin has improved and she has lost weight and kept it off. Tori's recipes will help you to stop being reliant on nutrient-poor carbs and to get more creative in your cooking. At the same time, you will inevitably feel better in body and mind. She inspires you to inject some new life into your dishes. Try Mexican Baked Eggs or Chai Bircher Muesli for breakfast; Spiced Chickpea Bombs and Courgette Frites as light snacks with drinks; sides such as Broccoli Steaks with Chimichurri and Brazil Nuts and 6 types of puree to banish mashed potatoes forever; Lamb Shank and Fig Tagine or Duck Breasts with Roast Beetroot, Radish and Cocoa for comfort food; and Peanut Butter and Jam Puddings.
