Roti is perhaps one of India's most versatile, yet unassuming, dishes. Bake it on a griddle, stuff it with mashed potatoes, lather it in ghee or butter, pair it with curries and pickles, roast it, fry it, or bake it in a tandoor. It is made with many grains, but traditionally with wheat flour. It is no wonder then that Roti is integral to Indian and cuisines from other South Asian countries, such as Pakistan and Bangladesh and a popular accompaniment in most Asian cuisine restaurants. In Roti, author Anuradha Ravindranath introduces the reader to the different facets of this unprepossessing flatbread. She draws on her memories as a child, of her mother buying whole wheat grain at a market, of it drying on the rooftop of their Delhi home, of the trips to a nearby mill so that it is ground into fresh, warm flour, and the fluffy rotis fresh off the pan that was an enduring staple for lunches. In doing so, Anuradha Ravindranath skilfully weaves her memories of the flatbread with over 90 delicious recipes and turns the humble roti into a delightful, glamorous showstopper. Packed with photographs, the book will feature accompaniments to rotis by way of dips and pickles, as well as easy-to-follow tips in classic DK style.

They say you eat with the eyes. But we now know that smell, texture, temperature, colour and even atmosphere - down to the background music - influence how we perceive flavour.As anyone who has lost their sense of taste will know, flavourless food is dull and monochrome - it is flavour that brings food into full technicolour life. Yet it's not always easy to make something tasty; the secrets to flavour can baffle chefs and scientists alike.Food science expert Dr Stuart Farrimond explores major flavour categories such as salt, acid and heat (from chillies) and how they interact, and profiles all the major foods from individual fruit, veg, herbs and spices to the building blocks such as rice and wheat that give us stapes like bread, pasta, and noodles. With pairing notes for every ingredient, you'll soon be inventing new recipes.
