Kyle Books dishes up Pereira’s ‘flavour-packed’ cookbook

Kyle Books has signed Great British Bake Off contestant Crystelle Pereira’s début cookbook Flavour Kitchen: Vibrant Recipes with Creative Twists.

Joanna Copestick, publisher, acquired world rights from Alex Segal and Milly Bell at InterTalent Group. The cookbook will be published in May 2023. 

“Crystelle is such an inspiration in the kitchen,” said Copestick. “Her flavoursome recipes make cooking easy, inventive and a sheer joy.”

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”. 

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.

“The best way to describe Flavour Kitchen is that it’s me in a book; an eclectic mix of cooking and baking, and sweet and savoury recipes. Every single dish is something I would personally eat or choose on a menu, and the prospect of people cooking from it is unbelievably exciting!”
