Some lovely praise from @nigellalawson for @hisham_ad’s new book, Taboon: Sweet and savoury delights from the Lebanese bakery. We are so proud to publish Hisham’s beautiful words and recipes celebrating the rich food cultures of the Bilad al-Sham region. In his words: “I wish for this book to be used and enjoyed. The experience of making food, of making bread, is a humbling one. Make this bread and savour every moment, enjoy it with those around you. Bring our food to life. Keep our stories alive. And one day we will be all together around a table and can celebrate our cultures.
There is bread and salt between us.”

Out now in the US, UK, Europe and Asia. Publishing 29 October in Australia.

At Nonna’s Table is Paola Bacchia (@italyonmymin

At Nonna’s Table is Paola Bacchia (@italyonmymind)’s heartfelt and delicious ode to her Mamma Livia and the Italian home cooking that she grew up with. It is filled with stories from a life of gathering around the table with family and includes 60 personal recipes, from entree to dessert and everything in between.

In joint celebration of the book’s release and Mother’s Day (this Sunday for us here in Aus), Paola has teamed up with the good crew at @pidapipo_gelateria to create an exclusive Mother’s Day gelato, taken from her Apple & Ricotta Strudel recipe in the book. The SSB team has tried it and can confirm it’s out-of-this-world delicious. Pidapipo will be selling Nonna’s Apple Strudel gelato by the scoop and tub all week, along with a limited number of Paola’s book.

At Nonna’s Table is a real treasure and we are so proud to have published it. And… for those of you yet to organise your Mother’s Day gifts, this would be absolutely perfect.

Smith Street Books believe that it is time to recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the constitution through a Voice and we will be voting Yes in the upcoming referendum.

Listening to Indigenous Australians and making decisions that are informed by their local knowledge of matters affecting their communities will lead to better outcomes for everyone. We cannot listen to what cannot be heard, which is why supporting the Voice matters.

If you aren’t sure what the Voice is proposing, find out. We should all feel informed walking into the polls on the 14th of October.

🍚 GOHAN: Everyday Japanese Cooking 🍚 by the wonderful @emikodavies is out in the world!

Gohan literally means ‘rice’ in Japanese, but also, as Emiko’s mother Sumie says, ‘Gohan means the everyday home-cooked meal. Nothing fussy, but quick and easy, and nourishing. One that is made with love.’ And that is exactly what this beautiful book is filled with.

GOHAN is now available online and in all good bookstores across the US and the UK, and will arrive November 1 in Australia.
