Book Synopsis‘Tomorrow I will be leaving the delights of beautiful, snowy Ramsbury and setting off on my adventure to Ghana ...’ The inspirational true story of one woman, two villages, infinite optimism and thousands of lives transformed – TO LAWRA WITH LOVE is the funny, heart-warming, hard-hitting memoir of charity founder Sarah Gardner. It’s 2012, and Sarah is leaving her too-safe life in leafy England and heading to Ghana, Africa, with a suitcase full of cream-coloured linen and the romantic dream of ‘having an adventure and saving the world’. But the last thing the people of far-away, impoverished Lawra need is another white saviour. Which is just as well, because Sarah – hopelessly out of her depth and very, very sweaty – is not saving anyone. She can barely look after herself. Then, a terrible tragedy changes everything. Sarah begins breaking rules and building relationships – one in particular – bringing together her English village and his Ghanaian one on a mission to transform thousands of lives … including her own. A behind-the-scenes of international development as you’ve never read it before. A heart-wrenchingly honest account of work and love across cultures and continents. A testament to what listening, kindness, community and optimism can achieve. Totally relatable to anyone who cares about the world and the state of their hair.

Jonathan Stevens, co-owner of Hungry Ghost Bread in Northampton, Massachusetts, has pondered this question over thirty years of baking sourdough bread. Baking is a ritual that demands attention, physical proximity, close observation, and continual adjustment. It begets sustenance, fosters community, and connects us with a 10,000-year-old craft.The Hungry Ghost Bread Book is a window onto one baker?s artisan approach to sourdough bread?the culmination of his time in the tide of dough.Sourdough, declares Stevens, is not a style of bread. It is bread. The sourdough starter?the microbial community used to inoculate bread dough?transforms flour into something truly digestible by humans, unlocking the nutrients that are otherwise inaccessible. Stevens?s unique approach to working with sourdough can be summed up by three tenets, each of which begins with ?more.? More hydration, more fermentation, and more heat in the oven.Inside these pages, you?ll find tools, techniques, insights, short-cuts, ingredients, warnings, and a handful of haikus. You?ll find instructions for creating and nurturing your own sourdough starter, as well as formulas for a variety of loaves, flatbreads, crackers, folds, scones, bagels, and more, including: Eight-Grain Bread Fig & Sage Bread Potato-Thyme Fougasse Sesame-Spelt Crackers Rosemary Walnut Scones The results are quite fantastic: bread that bites back, heels worth chewing on, and scraps worth toasting. A return to real Wonder."The Hungry Ghost feeds more than spirits with its spectacular breads."?Saveur (naming Hungry Ghost Bread a "Great American Bread Bakery")

Book Synopsis***THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER*** The Air-Fryer Cookbook UK has 101 delicious, tried-and-tested recipes to help you get the most out of your air-fryer. An air-fryer is the latest kitchen must-have and this is the recipe book to go with it! This nifty, counter-top appliance is similar to an oven, as it bakes and roasts, but the key difference is its heating elements are located at the top and are enhanced by a large, powerful fan. The result is food that’s crisp and delicious in no time and, most notably, it makes the perfect alternative to a deep-fat fryer for anyone adopting a healthier lifestyle. But air-fryers offer plenty of other benefits too: they require practically no heat up time, cook food fast and evenly, can be used away from home (making them popular for camping trips, staycations and student living), plus clean-up is easy too. Nutritionist Jenny Tschiesche has developed 101 tried-and-tested recipes to help you get the very best out of your air-fryer. Her appealing ideas take their inspiration from all styles of world cuisine, and there is something here to suit every occasion, from snacks and sides to complete meals and sweet treats.

Book SynopsisFrom Covent Garden's MushroomMan, an inspiring portrait-gallery of edible mushrooms with 50 fabulous original recipes.Trade ReviewWith the mushroom in full swing and increasing number of varieties available commercially, this perfectly seasonal book explores the range of edible wild and cultivated mushrooms, offering a collection of creative recipes. A portrait gallery of the different mushrooms available provides culinary suggestions and ideas for making the most of all varieties. Divided into the seasons, recipes include Pulled Rabbit and Morel Ravioli, Chestnut Mushroom and Mousseron Tart, and Gourmet Mushroom Burger. --FoodLover magazine, autumn 2017; Mushrooms are more than just meaty; think spices, herbs and fruit: How many times have you heard a mushroom described as meaty? It's true that mushrooms, such as portobellos, are juicy, have a bit of chew, and reveal a world of umami. But Liz O'Keefe wants us to think beyond the meatiness of mushrooms, and to consider their many other flavors and aroma attributes. She says they can be naturally fruity like apricots, taste similar to coconut, or give off the scent of cinnamon when seared. O Keefe is a British chef; she co-wrote The Mushroom Cookbook with Michael Hyams, a book in which they describe dozens of different mushrooms and how to cook them. --David Leite interview with The Splendid Table Nov 2017'; Following our fungi theme... a newly published Mushroom Cookbook by Michael Hyams and Liz O'Keefe tells us everything we need to know about mushrooms. It explores the range of edible wild and cultivated mushrooms and includes some interesting recipes with lovely photographs. The recipes are grouped together seasonally and include suggestions for meat eaters and vegetarians. Twickers Foodie - Make More of Mushrooms --Alison Jee, Twickenham Tribune, October 2017
