Coming 2026 – A cookbook that blends food, stories, and science
We’re working on something delicious: a modern cookbook from Collider Cafe, blending vibrant recipes, global flavours, and bite-sized science. This book is all about bringing people and ideas together.
Written by Giacomo Rimanti, an Italian-born chef raised in Tuscany and now based in Wales, the cookbook draws on his family traditions, his travels, and his day-to-day experience as a Head Chef and dad. From handmade pasta to street-food twists like Chorizo & Prawn Paella Arancini, every recipe has a story plus a little scientific takeaway to help you understand your food better.
Whether you're a home cook, a curious eater, or someone who just loves great food and fun facts, this book is for you.
Because understanding a little chemistry makes you a better cook.
Our “pinches of science” help explain how ingredients behave, so you can experiment, improve, and enjoy your cooking even more.
Beautiful, modern recipes inspired by Italian classics and global flavours
STEM takeaways to explain the why behind cooking (like what gluten does, or how heat affects melting)
Sections for every level: from foundational recipes to impressive dinner-party dishes
Fun for families and great for cooking with kids or sparking curiosity
