Book SynopsisA perfect foodie novel with plenty of bite - ideal for fans of Beth O'Leary, Joanna Cannon and Libby Page. Two women. One unusual cookbook. And a friendship that will show them how to savour each moment . . . Kate Parker is about to turn forty and her world has fallen apart. Her seemingly rock-solid relationship is suddenly up in the air, and she's been forced to move back in with her mother. In need of some distraction, Kate (reluctantly) volunteers at her local retirement home. Cecily Finn is a ninety-seven-year-old resident of Lauderdale House for Exceptional Ladies. Her tongue is as sharp as her mind but lately she's lost her spark, seemingly resigned to the Imminent End. But then Cecily prescribes Kate a self-help recipe book with a difference - and so begins an unlikely friendship between two lonely and stubborn souls. Together, these two very different women - one near the end of her life, one adrift somewhere in the middle - will show each other that food is for feasting, life is for living, and that it's always essential to ask for more.Praise for The Woman Who Wanted More: 'Beautifully written, full of insight and food.

Book SynopsisThere was a time when garden designer Cleve West questioned the importance of his role as a garden designer. Two things changed his mind: designing a garden for a hospital and adopting a vegan lifestyle. Cleve's transition to veganism was a profound and varied learning experience. He learned more about nutrition than when he studied it as part of a sports science degree. He learned a great deal about propaganda in the food industry and how, contrary to what he'd been led to believe, the cows and chickens in the dairy industry are far from 'happy'. He learned that animal agriculture is a leading cause of climate change and a whole range of environmental catastrophes. He found that many illnesses have their origins in the consumption of animal products. He learned that a plant-based diet can alleviate some of these illnesses and sometimes even reverse them. He learned that a drive towards a plant-based diet could offset many of the environmental aspects of animal agriculture and make a positive transition to a more sustainable future. Everything started falling into place. It was all about plants. Suddenly, his role as a garden designer didn't seem so trivial after all. The Garden of Vegan charts Cleve's journey from its tentative beginnings to an understanding of the restorative power of gardens and a realization that some of the most destructive aspects of the Anthropocene can be mitigated or even fixed by plants. Trade Review"Well researched and backed up by facts and figures, West writes with a forceful honesty that anyone who has heard him speak will recognise. He is self-reflective and refuses to spare himself from his own criticisms. The narrative may be personal, but it resonates." -- Darryl Moore * Garden Design Journal *"By tapping into gardeners’ responsiveness to their surroundings, West makes an effectively plainspoken plea for change...this account has relevance for all gardeners, regardless of what’s on their dinner plates." * Publishers Weekly *“A heartfelt, knowledgeable discourse…The Garden of Vegan is reflective and inspiring in its examination of vegan garden principles and of vegan living as an important catalyst for change.” * Foreword Reviews *“An exhaustive introduction to anything you might want to know about veganism. Every statistic, from how much methane farting cows produce worldwide, to how much plant protein it takes to create the same amount of animal protein, to how much B12 a person actually needs is fully researched and set down here. More crucially, every argument against veganism is calmly and carefully set out and dealt with." -- Laetitia Maklouf * Gardening in Five Minutes A Day blog *"A personal, persuasive take on why an animal-free diet might be for you and the wider world...this challenging, deeply personal book is an important read." * Gardens Illustrated *"Cleve West is one of the most brilliant stars in our firmament of garden designers, and the only one to have won best in show at Chelsea two years in succession. Coming soon is The Garden of Vegan, explaining his deeply held convictions about plants and what they can do for our health." -- Anna Pavord * Sunday Times *"Raw in both style and content - and it may change your life." -- Non Morris * Telegraph Pick of the Year's gardening books *"An eye-opening account of how modern intensive agriculture damages animals and, potentially, those who consume them...This book aims to inspire us to be more ecologically sensitive, and respectful to humanity... thought-provoking." * The Garden *"Neither preachy nor judgemental, Cleve delivers his compelling arguments for environmentally-friendly vegan practices with warmth, humour and wit. It’s not an easy read by any means, but an essential one for anyone who cares for the planet." * Independent Best Gardening Books for Beginners 2021 *"Well researched, warmly written and worth reading." * Growing Green International *

And, with that statement, Dr David Katz helps insulate us from the next food fad by making sure we are armed with the truth, and nothing but the truth … Facts do matter, and The Truth About Food is full of them.

We hold strong opinions about how to bake a brownie with the perfect squidge, the correct proportions of icing to sponge, and whether it's jam or cream first on our scones. Now thanks to the success of a certain TV baking show our flirtation with flour, fruit and frosting has become a full-blown love affair.But how did the humble cake evolve from a simple combination of starch and fat to the show-stopping bakes of today, taking pride of place at every meaningful life celebration?

Book SynopsisTrade ReviewNew York Times Bestseller -- New York Times IACP Cookbook Award Winner -- IACP "The best beginner's cookbook of the year, if not the decade. In addition to being warm, funny and smart, Twelve Recipes will actually teach you to cook... [Peternell] can nudge anyone, from novice to expert, to want to be a better cook... His wit and intelligence are apparent throughout." -- New York Times Book Review San Francisco Chronicle Bestseller -- San Francisco Chronicle "Delightful and instructive... Marked by Peternell's zeal for good, simple food, this title takes a very different approach from cooking handbooks that emphasize science or technical precision." -- Library Journal (starred review) "[A] smart new cookbook...written for new cooks, for uncertain cooks, for good cooks looking for simple inspiration, for anyone wrestling with a New Year's resolution to cook more and better...The recipes are narratives, written conversationally, like excellent emails from a friend explaining how to make bechamel." -- Sam Sifton, New York Times A Best Food Book of 2014... "Encouraging and discursive... Peternell [teaches] the oldest of his three sons how to cook... a skill he realized he'd neglected to pass along while he was growing up, even if Alice Waters in her foreword calls Peternell 'one of the greatest teachers I know." -- The Atlantic "Warm, funny, and full of cool recipes. [Cal Peternell's] decades of working at Chez Panisse are molded into solid, grounded advice for cooks who are just starting out." -- Refinery29.com "Chef Peternell offers an informal crash course in the "big 12" recipes "at the heart of home cooking"... Essays have an inviting personal tone, and Peternell encourages cooks to use good sense, relax, and enjoy the unexpected pleasures that come with cooking for yourself and for others." -- Publishers Weekly "This book is very much a representation of the chef's home cooking-nothing fancy, but all prepared properly...The tips and tricks he shares throughout might be game-changers...This is a fun read." -- Yahoo! Food "Many consider chefs culinary artists, but Peternell, of Berkeley's Chez Panisse, actually has a degree in painting. Art runs in the family: His wife and sons added whimsical illustrations to this already beautiful book." -- Entertainment Weekly "His tone is casual and conversational, and makes you feel you have a friend in the kitchen with you, cheering you on... If you feel you could use help with the basics... this is the book for you. More seasoned cooks... there's plenty here of interest for us, too." -- SF Weekly "Practical and very funny... I could not put this book down." -- Huffington Post "I love this book above all for the felicity of Cal Peternell's writing. It puts me right there, with no sense of artifice or forcedness. It's simply him, and his family, and his food, and it all seems so comfortable and real and immediate. It's a splendid achievement." -- Thomas McNamee, James Beard Award-winning author of Alice Waters and Chez Panisse "An extraordinary cookbook... Funny, warmly embracing, beautifully written and sweet, not what I expected from a well-known chef... Every recipe I tried was a home run... [It] will be my new gift to any high school graduate, newlywed or new cook." -- Florida Times-Union "Grabs the most intimate culinary moments -- parent and child cooking together... Originally planning that the collection of recipes would be like a private, family love letter, Peternell discovered a glorious connection to his childhood and an impulse to share on a broader scale." -- San Jose Mercury News "One of the best books of the year... [Twelve Recipes] is a culinary manual written for beginners, but full of useful chef wisdom that an experienced cook will appreciate, all written in a very conversational tone that makes this book such a pleasure to read." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune "A poignantly penned kitchen manual designed to provide even the most insecure of cooks with the framework to master everyday cooking." -- FirstWeFeast.com "Conversational and fun...

Book SynopsisTrade Review"If I had to choose one word to describe Lukas Volger’s Snacks for Dinner, it would be LIBERATING! Snacks for dinner recalibrated my entire mindset about what dinner can be – from colorful crudites and dip, to a spread of pickles with crackers, hearty centerpieces which can be eaten by hand, and soups that can be sipped like a smoothie, Lukas succeeds in showing us that dinner need not be onerous, complicated or anything less than simple and fun. Lukas’s snacky-style eating single-handedly brings joy back to the dinner table." — Hetty McKinnon, author of To Asia with Love "This book is an absolute treasure for home cooks searching for celebration. Just one or two of these playful-yet-simple recipes can transform a humble snack into a full-fledged party for one, two, or a crowd. A bowl of Chex Mix gets studded with crispy ramen clusters; sweet potato dip is perfumed with the smoky scent of chipotle. With Snacks for Dinner, Lukas has not just given us permission to serve snacks as a meal, he also celebrates the whimsy and freedom that can come with it." — Jesse Szewczyk, author of Cookies: The New Classics "Snacks for Dinner gives us permission to make meals out of all of the nibbles we’ve too long relegated as 'starters.' Why can’t dinner be a union of crispy lemony chickpeas and creamy, dilly white beans alongside charred radicchio with farro and burrata? Now it can. With each bright, textured, vegetable-loaded bite more irresistible than the last, dinner has never been so delicious." — Alexandra Stafford, author of Bread Toast Crumbs "Snacks for Dinner perfectly captures the vibes of my favorite kind of dinner party: impromptu yet deeply thoughtful, fancy-feeling but not fussy, with vegetables at the center. With delightfully clever recipes and his warm, confident guidance, Lukas shows us how to turn something as humble as dip and crackers into a memorable meal that’s worth sharing." — Christina Chaey, senior food editor, Bon Appétit “Snacks for Dinner is a joyful invitation to make your meals simpler, fresher, and SO much more fun! Whether you want to spice up a weeknight dinner or assemble a stunning special occasion spread, Lukas’s thoughtful writing and creative recipes will give you the skills, confidence, and inspiration you need.” — Jeanine Donofrio, author of The Love & Lemons Cookbook “The snacking game gets a definite upgrade in this winning collection.” — Publishers Weekly "Personal stories, suggested pairings, and menu tips make this ideal for those who enjoy hosting gatherings or dream of eating whole meals of delicious snacks." — Booklist
