Oklava: Recipes from a Turkish-Cypriot Kitchen by Selin Kiazim (£25, Mitchell Beazley)

If you’re a Great British Menu fan you’ll be seeing Selin Kiazim competing in the coming weeks, which ties in nicely with her first cookbook Oklava (which means ‘rolling pin’ in Turkish). Selin’s Shoreditch restaurant of the same name has been serving up high-end Turkish and Cypriot dishes for a few years now to critical acclaim, and now we get the chance to cook the same loved dishes at home. Expect things like chilli-roast cauliflower, courgette, feta and mint fritters and prune and cardamom delice.

London: The Cookbook by Cara Frost-Sharratt (£20, Frances Lincoln)

London is one of the world’s great culinary capitals, home to incredible restaurants, dedicated producers and thriving, bustling markets. This book pays homage to them all in the form of recipes and travel guides which celebrate everything great about the city. There’s some beautiful photography amongst the text, which covers topics such as the history of Bentley’s or how Portland is leading the new-wave of London’s chefs. Best of all though are the recipes for the signature dishes of restaurants like The Wolseley, Lyles and Barafina. The foreword by Fergus Henderson is the icing on the cake.

An exciting combination of Indian, Middle Eastern, Asian and European flavours, Sri Lankan food is starting to establish itself as one of this year’s most exciting cuisines. This book is the perfect introduction, introducing curious foodies to dishes like hoppers (thin fermented rice and coconut milk pancakes), sambols (a fiery grated coconut condiment) and vada (fried snacks sold as street food in the country). With 100 recipes that all celebrate the island’s wonderful ingredients, it’ll add a wealth of new flavours to your culinary repertoire.

Too Good to Waste: How to Eat Everything by Victoria Glass (£14.99, Nourish)

Food waste is a serious issue, and in the UK we’ve finally started to think about how to reduce it. Victoria Glass’ new book lends a helping hand to home cooks who want to make the most of all the produce they buy, with ideas for using up scraps, leftover rice, spare egg whites and more. The recipes sound truly delicious, too – pumpkin skin crisps, brassica stem tempura and sour milk scones will soon become part of your weekly menu.
