Ramen: 80 Easy Noodle Bowls and Broths by Makiko Sano
 Dear reader of cookbookreview.blog, I have a confession. I’m not that into ramen. I know this isn’t a universally shared opinion but I’ve never had a bowl of ramen that has inspired the awe it’s meant to. The kind that true devotees hunch over steaming bowls of broth like medieval alchemists and whisper in hushed reverence about the exact marination time for soy eggs.  Not that Ramen: 80 Easy…

One-pot meatballs with tomato sauce and orzo by Rick Stein
I tried making these meatballs with minced pork but they were too dry, so I think they are much better made with good-quality sausage meat, by which I mean at least 90 per cent pork. A lot of the brands of tomato passata with flavourings are not to my taste, but the Napolina soffritto is just tomato, garlic, onion and celery. SERVES 4 400g premium pork sausages, skins removed and discarded ¾ tsp…

Prawn French toast with walnut & coriander pesto by Michel Roux Jr
Croque aux crevettes A really special brunch dish, this is my French take on Chinese prawn toast. These are hearty sandwiches, so if you’re serving them as part of a brunch buffet, just a half will be enough – unless you’re not planning to eat again until the evening! The walnut and coriander pesto makes a nice change from the usual basil version. The recipe makes more than you need for the…

Root Vegetable Tart Tatin by Michel Roux Jr
Tarte tatin de legumesHere we have a great French classic made into a vegetarian treat. I’ve suggested a selection of vegetables, but you can vary them according to the season and spice them up with more chilli if you like a bit of heat. Delicious as a main meal or as an accompaniment, this can be made in individual portions as well as a large tart. It’s fine to use shop-bought puff pastry – I…

Giggling Squid Cookbook
Cephalopods are amazing. Octopi have been shown to use tools, cuttlefish can camouflage in an instant and squid giggle if you give them ten-tickles (I’m very, very sorry). Giggling Squid really is a fantastic name for a restaurant. It was originally a nickname for the son of co-founders Andy and Pranee and subsequently the name of their first restaurant in Brighton. One place has turned into many…

SORREL HOISIN FRIED ‘CHICKEN’ BURGER by Denai Moore
Every now and then you need a good burger in your life, and this one satisfies that craving. This is the kind of dish I make for my non-vegan friends. The sorrel hoisin glaze is quietly delicious and adds a fruity twist. Lettuce and pickles are non-negotiable here. There’s just something about the hot, crispy, sticky glazed oyster mushrooms and the ice-cold lettuce. SERVES 6 PREP TIME 20 MINUTES,…

Introducing: Ideas for legs by Stephen Rötzsch Thomas 
cookbookreview.blog contributor @SRotzschThomas has just launched a new food newsletter, and it's a great one. He introduces it here. We think the idea's got legs. Click on the link to see if you agree.
Here’s how I eat: first with my mind, and then with my body. I’m the sort of person who is thinking about what’s for dinner while they’re still munching on their breakfast. A planner who plots a big shop at the beginning of the week, and an improviser, who then adapts those plans as the days unfurl around him. I am also – whisper this – not exactly rolling in cash. I don’t know if anyone’s told…
