Flavor Kitchen: Vibrant Recipes with Creative Twists

Product Information

Flavour Kitchen is “bursting with inventive recipes” and “creative” flavour combinations. Divided into two halves – savoury and sweet – readers can expect both cooking and baking recipes, from “zingy” curries to “tangy” cheesecakes and “indulgent brownies”. The book also includes Pereira’s guide to her hero ingredients and favourite flavours to give readers more confidence when “boosting their flavours”. When the pandemic hit in 2020, it unfortunately restricted us all from enjoying social gatherings and celebrations. With this, we took action. We adapted and made the best of a bad situation by continuing to service our clients through a unique and different home delivery service.

Yes, I did – that was great fun, and the team is so wonderful there. I’d love to do more on TV because I genuinely love it – being able to share your passion for food to such a wide audience is so incredibly powerful! Flavour Kitchen is a ZFV company. The ZFV-Unternehmerungen (ZFV) cooperative is an innovative host in the areas of catering, accommodation and support. Founded in 1894 by visionary Zurich citizen women, ZFV is aware of its responsibility and is committed to creating measurable added value for guests, employees, customers, partners and society. With over 200 companies across Switzerland, the company creates lively meeting places in canteens, staff restaurants, excursion restaurants and hotels, offers mobile catering options and catering, produces bread and baked goods and is involved in childcare. The ZFV lives hospitality for a society in which we all want to live. I live at home with my family, so while my mum and dad love to keep the kitchen really tidy, as soon as I step foot in there, it’s a chaotic mess! I am not the tidiest cook – but I am trying to get better! But it’s the same kitchen I grew up in, watching my mum cook away at the stove (which is how I learnt to cook), so the kitchen is full of some lovely sentimental memories for me.We have our own commercial-sized charcoal BBQs and pop-up gazebos – meaning we are pretty much ready to go whenever and wherever you need us to be and can set-up in flash. We also work with a number of hire ware suppliers across London and the South-East should you require additional equipment such as tables and chairs, tableware and glassware. Taste Kitchen Co. are a family-run business that have been in the Catering industry for 10+ years and proudly have a 5* hygiene rating. We produce some of the tastiest food all of which is cooked from the heart of our home kitchen, catering to the North London & Hertfordshire areas. We only use Kosher meat, unsupervised .

We offer all meals and drinks in recyclable containers that can also be reused several times. Regardless of whether you'd like to enjoy your food here with us or at home. We use the simple depositing system from reCIRCLE: you decide whether you want to keep the practical and smart containers or return them to us. To be honest, I haven’t really noticed much of a transition! I still cook in the same kitchen in my family home, and my recipes are very much still the same as they were before my cookbook. I have always been fascinated by interesting flavours from around the world, but now I just have a much larger audience to share that fascination with! Pereira commented: “I’m incredibly passionate about bold flavours and making dishes fun and original. I’ve always wanted to teach people how to be more adventurous in the kitchen, but in a really accessible way. My hope with this book is to change people’s mindsets about cooking and baking and open their eyes to a whole new host of flavours taken from around the world. If I can get one reader to buy a tub of miso, I’ll have accomplished my mission. Serious parties require serious food and sometimes you need a little bit more than a few bites. Our manapes and bowl food is served like canapés but is a little bit more substantial – perfect for parties that will be in full swing for a while.

Our BBQs have become one of our most popular offerings – and we really love to work on them. What makes our BBQ so great is the fantastic quality of meat we always use – we have a great local butcher who supplies all of the meat we use including Suffolk pork sausages, salt marsh lamb and prime Kent beef steak mince for our home-made burgers and sliders. We also use artisanal bakery brioche buns for our famous FK Americana burgers. Our BBQ menus would work well for both informal gatherings as well as more formal special events such as weddings.

Kyle Books has signed Great British Bake Off contestant Crystelle Pereira’s début cookbook Flavour Kitchen: Vibrant Recipes with Creative Twists. My love of food started from a very young age – food is very much at the centre of my culture, and I’ve been surrounded by food my whole life. At family gatherings, there would never be just one curry and rice. There would be five different types of curries, and five different types of rice. And I’ve loved it. I also used to watch my mum in the kitchen cooking (while she would feed me extra food on the side), which is where I learnt the basics of cooking. She’s an incredible cook and actually taught me the foundations of flavour – she assigned me as the ‘chief taste tester’ and would get me to taste her food, asking me if it needed more salt, sugar, lemon juice, which is how I developed my palate at such a young age. As time went on, I realised that I was able to cook so many of her quintessentially Goan dishes without any recipe, because I had learnt how to do so just by watching her cook, and tasting her food. As I then began to travel around the world, or even eat out more at different restaurants, I started trying new flavours – like miso, za’atar, gochujang – and began incorporating those flavours and cuisines into my cooking and baking at home.Our buffet menus deliver a delicious smorgasbord of dishes to suit all tastes and styles – from formal fork buffets – perfect for weddings, christenings and other really special occasions to more relaxed finger or “grab” food buffets which would work well for birthday and Christmas parties. We also offer both hot and cold dishes and as with all other Flavour Kitchen menus, we cover a range of cuisines. Our menus are structured into formal and informal buffets as well as hot and cold – but feel free to mix them up to create your own menu – and of course, we would be more than happy to create a special buffet menu to suit your occasion. Our meals are homemade and prepared for you daily with lots of love. We focus on fresh produce and are geared towards a seasonal range provided by nature. Hence, even our salad doesn't contain the same leaves all year round – but it's always guaranteed to taste good. It goes without saying that we only source meat from animals treated appropriately for their species. While I love my kitchen at home because it has so many memories, I would love an island in the kitchen. And a walk-in fridge! Maybe two stovetops, too… And a few ovens to make life easier when I’m doing a roast dinner. I think that’s everything. The book is also bright, colourful, bold and vibrant which is somewhat unconventional when you compare it to some other books. But I wanted the book to have some personality, and feel fun and approachable, and I feel like the photography really brings that to life.
