Winter is well on its way, and with it the colder weather. It’s the time of year where soups come to the fore…perfect timing for new cookbook Broth to Bowl: Mastering the art of great soup from six simple broths by Drew Smith.
Published by Modern Books, Broth to Bowl (RRP £20) is a 160-page hardback cookbook that demonstrates how soups can transform your cooking and your health. From buying the most basic ingredients and making simple broths to crafting some seriously showstopping soups, Drew Smith shows how six different broths can form the base for a whole host of soup recipes, making the most of leftovers and expanding our kitchen repertoire.
There’s plenty covered, from the health benefits of bone broth to the versatility and ease of home-cooked soups and stews: recipes that are delicious, nutritionally balanced, wholesome and waste-free. We love the simple yet beautiful colour photography too.
Broth to Bowl is divided into six chapters covering The Basics, Vegetables, Chicken and Other Birds, Meat, Fish and Shellfish, and Kombu. Recipes span the entire globe too, from Scotch broth to French onion, Thai Tom Yum Goong to Japanese bonito broth.
