"This book is just about food. Nothing flashy, no expensive equipment and gizmos. It’s entirely about flavours and understanding. Food in its entirety is more than about filling your stomach; it’s about stories, history, and those shared moments." – Hasan Semay

Grounded and honest (and a little bit sweary), Hasan Semay (a.ka. Big Has) is a bright and talented North-London based chef and YouTube presenter. Having dropped out of school and tried his hand at odd jobs from plumbing to security, Has was accepted onto the prestigious Jamie Oliver "15" programme in 2011 which unearthed a true passion and flair for cooking. HOME is his debut cookbook and a celebration of the dishes, the places and the people that have made him who he is today.

Fans of Hasan’s Instagram page and enormously popular YouTube series 'Sunday Sessions' will recognise his ability to make incredible restaurant-quality food available to the masses, teaching his viewers how to appreciate ingredients and understand cooking not through dull step-by-step methods but by connecting more intuitively with the process. In this debut cookbook, Has takes those principles to the next level talking you through the stages of lighting a BBQ and how to prepare a variety of dishes from small plates to Turkish Cypriot classics as well as meat and fish straight off the grill.

His food is beautiful and robust with familiar Mediterranean influences from his Cypriot heritage as well as from his time working in professional kitchens across London – think grilled butter-milk chicken thighs with chermoula, flame-licked steak and salsa verde, marinated lamb chops with salsa rossa, all countered by neat folds of glistening home-made pasta and the occasional jaw-dropping dessert. Now don’t think this means flashy, fiddly food – this is real food, treated with respect and cooked right – no tablecloths or fancy china, just your friends, round the BBQ proper Sunday session style, because food is a celebration of coming together.

Peppered with anecdotes about working in professional kitchens and the characters and inspiration behind his food, HOME is a refreshing and accessible cookbook from a uniquely bold chef.

5.0 out of 5 stars A special book from a very special chef
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 28, 2022

I love this book! The great photographs make you want to eat everything and it's real honest food, unlike so many cheffy books which seem to be written for the chef to show off rather than for the buyer to cook from. The recipes are clearly written in a style that makes you feel Has is talking to you as you cook. The HOME feeling really comes through. Has is a natural chef and writer, I so hope he does more books and I'll be pre-ordering if he does.
PS And I love the dog......

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Chef and Cookbook

I've never been so touched by the sincerity of a chef. No pretence and so down to earth. I feel that this book is for ordinary/everyday people. He is just being himself and I love him for that. Not to mention that the recipes are doable because the ingredients are accessible and instructions straight forward. I never felt so attached to a cookbook. I wish Hasan all the success in the future. Continue on being yourself and people like me will support you. Good job!

Cooked one of the recipes from this book and it was lush. Absolutely love this book. The recipes are easy to follow and, so far, the results have been great.
I have followed the author on Sunday sessions for a long time and his food is great.
The insight on how he got into cooking and the influence Jamie Oliver and his family had on him was great to read and understand.
His passion for cooking great food with great ingredients is infectious.
I’m looking forward to making many more of his dishes in the weeks to come.
My bbq has never seen so much activity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book on Turkish-Cypriot cuisine
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 26, 2022
Verified Purchase
Big up Big Has! This book carries a very personal tone, in which you can really tell how much enjoyment Has got out of writing this book. You learn so much about a Turkish-Cypriot household just by reading the author's notes on the recipe as well. The photographs and design of the book is immaculate and the recipes range from some easy beginner recipes that look class, onto some more advanced recipes. Would definitely recommend this book.
