The best cookbooks
Autumn is peak cookbook publishing season. Two worth watching out for amid the multitude are Asma’s Indian Kitchen by Asma Khan (Pavilion, 4 October), which details the domestic recipes from the hugely admired restaurant Darjeeling Express, and veteran chef Rowley Leigh’s new, blissfully titled, A Long and Messy Business (Unbound, 4 October).
The best restaurants
In November, the Café Royal in London’s Regent Street will launch Cakes and Bubbles, a new dessert and champagne bar from the acclaimed Catalan pastry chef Albert Adrià, brother of Ferran Adrià of El Bulli. It’s his first permanent establishment outside Spain. The menu will include the likes of his egg flan with dark caramel and air waffles with caramelised bananas.
