Three – Acid Texture Contrast

Three is the latest cookbook by Selin Kiazim.

Threelooks at the magic elements that make a plate of food truly come into its own: acid, texture and contrast the fundamental building blocks that will transform a modest dish into the star of the show.

Selin gives you the know-how on how to use ingredients from the store cupboard or fridge and combine them in a way that elevates every single element. Whether you want a simple midweek meal or a centrepiece to blow your guests socks off, theres something for all occasions.

Starting with a guide to the basic foundations of a dish, along with clever ideas for pickles, dressings and condiments to get the balance right, the recipes are then divided by type of food alliums, beans, greens, pulses and grains, brassicas, fruit, nightshades and mushrooms, nuts, poultry and meat, seafood, and roots and tubers.

Selins recipes show that a meal can be so much more than the sum of its partsthrough the simple guidelines of using acid, texture and contrast in each dish.
