In a Nutshell - by El Kemp (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

The little pistachio nut has taken over the culinary world, from viral chocolate bars to jars of spread, pastries to ice cream. With 75 recipes celebrating the pistachio in sweet and savoury ways, accompanied by charming illustrations, this is a trend-led and highly giftable book for any pistachio fan.

The rise of pistachio popularity has seen it splashed all over social media and supermarket shelves in myriad forms, from Easter eggs to M&S jars of crème. The trend is still going strong, with entire Instagram accounts dedicated to pistachio recipes, and it's beginning to show the staying power of phenomenons like matcha and pumpkin spice. And for good reason - the pistachio's earthy, slightly sweet flavour maks it a versatile and appetising ingredient, wrapped up in a sense of luxury and decadence.

The book will feature 75 sweet and savoury recipes that make the most of the pistachio's distinct flavour, all accompanied by charming illustrations. Whether it's a homemade-take on the Dubai chocolate, a pistachio cookie, taglioni with pistachio pesto, pork medalions with a pistachio crust, or pistachio granola, the book will satisfy every pistachio need.
