When the opportunity arose to train in the kitchen of Mario Batali’s three-star New York restaurant, Babbo, Buford grabbed it. Heat is the chronicle—sharp, funny, wonderfully exuberant—of his time spent as Batali’s “slave” and of his far-flung apprenticeships with culinary masters in Italy.In a fast-paced, candid narrative, Buford describes the frenetic experience of working in Babbo’s kitchen: the trials and errors (and more errors), humiliations and hopes, disappointments and triumphs as he worked his way up the ladder from slave to cook. He talks about his relationships with his kitchen colleagues and with the larger-than-life, hard-living Batali, whose story he learns as their friendship grows through (and sometimes despite) kitchen encounters and after-work all-nighters.Buford takes us to the restaurant in a remote Appennine village where Batali first apprenticed in Italy and where Buford learns the intricacies of handmade pasta . . . the hill town in Chianti where he is tutored in the art of butchery by Italy’s most famous butcher, a man who insists that his meat is an expression of the Italian soul . . . to London, where he is instructed in the preparation of game by Marco Pierre White, one of England’s most celebrated (or perhaps notorious) chefs. And throughout, we follow the thread of Buford’s fascinating reflections on food as a bearer of culture, on the history and development of a few special dishes (Is the shape of tortellini really based on a woman’s navel? And just what is a short rib?), and on the what and why of the foods we eat today.Heat is a marvelous hybrid: a richly evocative memoir of Buford’s kitchen adventure, the story of Batali’s amazing rise to culinary (and extra-culinary) fame, a dazzling behind-the-scenes look at the workings of a famous restaurant, and an illuminating exploration of why food matters.It is a book to delight in—and to savor.\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 167 x 241\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor: Bill Buford\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN: 9781400041206\u003cbr\u003e\nFormat: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 336\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"bookhero.ae","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45368080826521,"sku":"15RA-4-9781400041206","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/5696\/6297\/files\/681885f3aca01_Heat-_An_Amateur_s_Adventures_as_Kitchen_Slave__Line_Cook__Pasta-Maker__and_Apprentice_to_a_Dante-Quoting_Butcher_in_Tuscany_Bill_Buford.jpg?v=1746547915"},{"product_id":"patrick-leigh-fermor-an-adventure-by-antony-beevor-artemis-cooper","title":"Patrick Leigh Fermor: An Adventure","description":"\u003cp\u003ePatrick Leigh Fermor: An Adventure\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 158 x 240\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor: Artemis Cooper\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN: 9780719554490\u003cbr\u003e\nFormat: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 448\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"bookhero.ae","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45368087019673,"sku":"8RG-9780719554490","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/5696\/6297\/files\/6815dc5336711-Patrick-Leigh-Fermor-An-Adventure-by-Antony-Beevor-Artemis-Cooper-Artemis-Cooper-_1.jpg?v=1748277702"},{"product_id":"karlology","title":"Karlology","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a voyage through the strange yet mesmerising mind of cult author Karl Pilkington, now in paperback.

Levesque also profiles the best small boutiques that feature French designers for children’s clothing and artisanal toys.The guide also includes practical advice on finding a babysitter in a pinch or an English-speaking playgroup; words you may need at pharmacies, whether the problem is a sore throat, blisters, or an upset stomach; and how to locate a toilet when your child needs one. And you’ll feel comfortable anywhere in the city after the author debriefs you on stroller etiquette.Levesque also provides fascinating glimpses into the lives of Parisian children: typical school lunches (a cheese course? bien sûr!); the all-important after-school goûter; the classic French layette; formula and baby food (forget applesauce, think ratatouille, potato leek, artichoke, and more); and all sorts of fascinating and useful information that will make your trip en famille an easy and pleasurable one.Bon voyage!\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 120 x 151\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor: Kim Levesque\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN: 9781892145987\u003cbr\u003e\nFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 388\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"bookhero.ae","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45788201451673,"sku":"16RD-19781892145987","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/5696\/6297\/files\/68ed19bd782b2_The_Little_Bookroom_Guide_to_Paris_with_Children-_Play__Eat__Shop__Stay_Kim_Levesque.jpg?v=1760372365"},{"product_id":"cartes-postales-from-greece-the-runaway-sunday-times-bestseller","title":"Cartes Postales from Greece The Runaway Sunday Times Bestseller","description":"\u003cp\u003eTHE NUMBER ONE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER  Cartes Postales from Greece is an extraordinary new book from Victoria Hislop, the Sunday Times Number One bestselling author of The Island, The Return, The Thread, and The Sunrise.

After ten years in England, he returned to the land of his youth, and drove almost 14,000 miles in search of a mythical small town called Amalgam, the kind of trim and sunny place where the films of his youth were set. Instead, his search led him to Anywhere, USA; a lookalike strip of gas stations, motels and hamburger outlets populated by lookalike people with a penchant for synthetic fibres.

Born in the French Indochina in 1925, Bernard Moitessier grew up astride two cultures--French and Vietnamese--in a turbulent era that moved dramatically from peace to war. Imprisoned during the Japanese occupation, he was later drafted to fight the Viet Minh in a French war that foreshadowed America's own Vietnam involvement two decades later. Tamata tells how the 25-year-old Moitessier left Vietnam to answer the call of the sea. He led the life of a sea-gypsy, wandering the Indian Ocean, the South Atlantic, and the Caribbean, learning the ways of boats and the sea and surviving two catastrophic shipwrecks. His greatest sailing adventures followed, the Tahiti-Alicante passage and his ten month round-the-world solo voyage in 1969 when he withdrew from the Golden Globe Race and sailed on to Tahiti. Moitessier then spent three years on a remote atoll in the Tuamotu Archipelago. Called \"Tamata\" (\"try it \") by his Tuamotu friends, he built a Polynesian-style house, planted coconut trees, and gradually transformed the sun-blasted coral into a speck of green in the middle of the South Pacific.

Lucy Lethbridge has written a glorious romp of a book' Kathryn Hughes, The Mail on Sunday  'It is the paramount wish of every English heart, ever addicted to vagabondizing, to hasten to the Continent...'  In 1815 the Battle of Waterloo brought to an end the Napoleonic Wars and the European continent opened up once again to British tourists. The nineteenth century was to be an age driven by steam technology, mass-industrialisation and movement, and, in the footsteps of the Grand Tourists a hundred years earlier, the British middle-classes flocked to Europe to see the sights.  In Tourists, the voices of these travellers - puzzled, shocked, delighted and amazed - are brought vividly to life. From the discomfort of the stagecoach to the 'self-contained pleasure palace' of the beach resort, Lucy Lethbridge brilliantly examines two centuries of tourists' experience. Among a range of disparate characters, we meet the commercial titans of Victorian tourism, Albert Smith, Henry Gaze and Thomas Cook, as well as their successor, Vladimir Raitz, the creator of the modern beach holiday.  The growth of popular tourism introduced new markets in guidebooks, souvenirs, cuisine and health cures. It smoothed over class differences but also exacerbated them. It destroyed traditional cultures while at the same time preserving them.  From portable cameras to postcards and suntans, Tourists explores how tourism has reflected changing attitudes to modernity and how, from the grand hotel to the campsite, the foreign holiday exposes deep fears, hopes and even longings for home.\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 203 x 47 x 254\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor: Lucy Lethbridge\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN: 9781408856222\u003cbr\u003e\nFormat: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 297\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"bookhero.ae","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46414394392729,"sku":"16RD-39781408856222","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/5696\/6297\/files\/69b44bd6c0b13_Tourists_How_the_British_Went_Abroad_to_Find_Themselves.jpg?v=1773672062"},{"product_id":"bryant-and-mays-peculiar-london","title":"Bryant and May's Peculiar London","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs the nation's oldest serving detectives, we know more about London than almost anyone.

We'll be making all sorts of odd connections and showing you why it's almost impossible to separate fact from fiction in London. With the help of some of our more disreputable friends, each an argumentative and unreliable expert in his or her own dodgy field, we'll explain why some streets have genders, why only two Londoners got to meet Dracula, how a department store and a prison played tricks on your mind, when a theatre got stranded in the past, how a building vanished in plain sight, what excited Charlotte Brontë about the city and where the devils hide in London. We hope to capture something of the city's restless spirit by shamelessly and wilfully wandering off course.

I've met the weirdest and most wonderful people who walk the Earth, seen the most bizarre and the most fantastic sights - and I've rarely come across something I couldn't get a laugh at. I don't think I've ever had a bad trip. Well, apart from in the 1970s, but that's a whole other story . . .  When Billy set out from Glasgow as a young man he never looked back. He played his banjo on boats and trains, under trees, and on top of famous monuments. He danced naked in snow, wind and fire. He slept in bus stations, under bridges and on strangers' floors. He travelled by foot, bike, ship, plane, sleigh - even piggy-backed - to get to his next destination.  Billy has wandered to every corner of the earth and believes that being a Rambling Man is about more than just travelling - it's a state of mind. Rambling Men and Women are free spirits who live on their wits, are interested in people and endlessly curious about the world. They love to play music, make art or tell stories along the way but, above all, they have a longing in their heart for the open road.  In his joyful new book, Billy explores this philosophy and how it has shaped him, and he shares hilarious new stories from his lifetime on the road.

From 1946 until the end of his life, Ian Fleming lived for two months of every year at Goldeneye - the house he built on a point of high land overlooking a small white sand beach on Jamaica's north coast. All the James Bond novels and stories were written here. Fleming adored the Jamaica he had discovered, at the time an imperial backwater that seemed unchanged from the glory days of the empire. Amid its stunning natural beauty, the austerity and decline of post-war Britain could be forgotten. For Fleming, Jamaica offered the perfect mixture of British old-fashioned conservatism and imperial values, alongside the dangerous and sensual - the same curious combination that made his novels so appealing, and successful. The spirit of the island - its exotic beauty, its unpredictability, its melancholy, its love of exaggeration and gothic melodrama - infuses his writing. Fleming threw himself into the island's hedonistic Jet Set party scene: Hollywood giants and the cream of British aristocracy, the theatre, literary society and the secret services spent their time here drinking and bed-hopping.

We want to see ancient monuments, extraordinary scenery, endangered wildlife, foreign cultures, architecture and art - places that give us the chance to grow and expand our horizons. Unforgettable Places to See Before You Die will help you search out some of these essential destinations and experiences. International travel writer and photographer Steve Davey has drawn on his years of experience in selecting forty of his favourite places. Some, such as the Taj Mahal and the Alhambra, are relatively well-known, but most, such as the incredible temple of Angkor Wat in Cambodia and the amazing sand dunes of Dead Vlei in the Namib desert, are very much off the beaten track. Some, such as Venice or New York, involve relatively comfortable journeys, whilst others present more of a challenge - crossing the wilderness to see the rock-hewn churches at Lalibela in Ethiopia, for example, or trekking for nine days at altitude to see the stunning Himalayan scenery around Makalu in Nepal. Although there are plenty of tips for travellers, this is not a travel guide, and is certainly not definitive, but it will introduce you to a host of spectacular locations, all of which can be visited in a holiday of two weeks or less. Beautifully illustrated throughout with specially commissioned photographs, this is a book that will inspire you to think beyond the walls of your room and take time out to visit some of the world's truly unforgettable places.\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 193 x 247 x 17\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor: Steve Davey\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN: 9780563487463\u003cbr\u003e\nFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 256\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"bookhero.ae","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47901097525401,"sku":"15RA-1-9780563487463","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/5696\/6297\/files\/Unforgettable_Places_to_See_Before_You_Die_Steve_Davey.jpg?v=1781090680"},{"product_id":"the-lower-river","title":"The Lower River","description":"\u003cp\u003eEllis Hock never believed that he would return to Africa. He runs an old-fashioned menswear store in a small town in Massachusetts but still dreams of his Eden, the four years he spent in Malawi with the Peace Corps, cut short when he had to return to take over the family business. When his wife leaves him, and he is on his own, he realizes that there is one place for him to go: back to his village in Malawi, on the remote Lower River, where he can be happy again.  Arriving at the dusty village, he finds it transformed: the school he built is a ruin, the church and clinic are gone, and poverty and apathy have set in among the people. They remember him--the White Man with no fear of snakes--and welcome him. But is his new life, his journey back, an escape or a trap?  Interweaving memory and desire, hope and despair, salvation and damnation, this is a hypnotic, compelling, and brilliant return to a terrain about which no one has ever written better than Theroux.\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 152 x 229 x 28\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor: Paul Theroux\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN: 9780547746500\u003cbr\u003e\nFormat: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 323\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"bookhero.ae","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47901118988441,"sku":"15RA-3-9780547746500","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/5696\/6297\/files\/The_Lower_River.jpg?v=1781099245"},{"product_id":"this-is-new-york","title":"This Is New York","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith the same wit and perception that distinguished his stylish books on Paris, London, and Rome, M.

Among them are: Geamhar - a field of corn-grass Tuar - a field for cattle at night Réidhleán - a field for games or dancing Cathairín - a field with a fairy-dwelling in it The richness of a language closely tied to the natural landscape offered our ancestors a more magical way of seeing the world. Before we cast old words aside, let us consider the sublime beauty and profound oddness of the ancient tongue that has been spoken on this island for almost 3,000 years. In Thirty-Two Words for Field, Manchán Magan meditates on these words - and the nuances of a way of life that is disappearing with them.   'A rip-roaring, archaeological and anthropological exploration of the lyricism, mystery and oddities of the Irish language, and the layers of ancient knowledge encoded within.' The Irish Times 'The book I never knew I needed' Caitríona Balfe 'If you're in to Irish Mythology, Manchán has got some incredibly interesting theories about Irish mythology based on his understanding of the Irish language, and he's got some theories about the roots of the Irish language that are going to blow your head off.'
