Introduction to the series

Culinary Quandaries is an eBook series featuring tried-and-tested, indulgent recipes that will impress and delight dinner party guests with potentially unfamiliar dietary restrictions or preferences.

The publications feature both adaptations of classic or popular dishes and new dishes which embrace dietary restrictions as an opportunity for creativity.

Target audience and reader take-out

The series will appeal to a wide audience interested in cooking and food, primarily:

  • People who love to entertain and cook for their friends and family who wish to find new ideas, broaden their skills and increase their culinary knowledge
  • Dinner party hosts who are unfamiliar with the cuisine and implications of certain dietary restrictions or preferences
  • Vegans, vegetarians, gluten- and lactose-intolerant people themselves – the series will provide fresh and exciting new ideas for extending their culinary repertoire

The series will show readers how to cook to different dietary restrictions, whether they have recently adopted a new diet themselves or would like to learn how to cook for someone else with restrictions or preferences that they are unfamiliar with.

Content and key features

The series will cover a range of dietary restrictions and preferences such as veganism, gluten intolerance, lactose intolerance, diabetes (low glycemic index) and potentially those related to various faiths.

The initial publications will focus on cooking for dinner parties for the various dietary restrictions and preferences and will include the following:

  • An introduction explaining the dietary restriction – what ingredients cannot be used, common substitutes, techniques and tips
  • +/- Twenty tried and tested recipes (divided into starters, mains and desserts) influenced by various world cuisines with detailed steps and instructions

Key features include:

  • Intuitive sliders illustrate each method step in a clear, practical manner
  • Tried and tested recipes for adaptations of classic and new dishes
  • Video demonstrations of techniques and more challenging method steps
  • Handy tips, alternatives and fresh, exciting ideas from expert food writers

Additional features such as user notes, shopping lists, batch or serving calculators and a favourites listing (reader scrap book) are also planned for future editions.
