Sous vide ('in a vacuum') cooking is the latest trend in home kitchens. Because of their cost and size, sous vide cooking devices were once found only in professional kitchens, but that all changed when affordable models hit the retail market. Home cooks are now embracing sous vide in record numbers. In sous vide cooking, food is sealed in plastic bags and submerged in hot (but not boiling) water for long and slow cooking. The end result is food which is juicy and tender. Cooking sous vide also means that temperatures can be maintained within tenths of a degree, which is essential for certain cuts of meat. The hot water also intensifies flavours and the resulting texture of the food is perfect. Chris McDonald is a brilliant chef who has long used sous vide to create sublime dishes and he now brings this expertise to the home cook. His recipes are spectacularly delicious yet easy to execute. Eight pages of step-by-step photos provide all the necessary information to start sous vide cooking.

Combat the effects of ageing in just 5 minutes a day by choosing from 30 fun and easy exercises targeted to your individual face shape. Did you know that the structure of your face is made up of more than 50 muscles, and that their fitness, to a large degree, determines its appearance? Just as we can exercise and tone our body’s muscles, we can do the same with our facial muscles. This can ultimately make a marked difference in our appearance and can potentially eliminate the need for invasive plastic surgery. Too much sun, smoking, degradation of collagen layers and poor skin care all contribute to sagging facial muscles. Facial gymnastics, if done on a regular basis, can treat a variety of concerns, from “empty”- looking cheekbones, jowls and relaxed eyelids to wrinkles and impaired elasticity. Imagine a facial gym that uses only the muscles of your face. No special equipment or location is required — just some diligence and perseverance. Your smile alone works more than 25 facial muscles. So smile! The small but important risorius muscle is found in the corner of your mouth: if it’s well stimulated, it can correct a drooping mouth. It also stimulates the muscles mid-face, inflating your cheeks. And nothing gives a fresher and younger look than well-accentuated cheekbones. Whether your face is oval, square, round, long or diamond shaped, The 5-Minute Facial Workout presents tips and information adapted to your shape to help you maintain your features as you strengthen muscle tone. And we’ve added a new section that helps you to customize your exercises to match your face type. Each page features clear instructions, with a photograph to demonstrate the movement, so the exercises are straightforward and easy to do.

Essential oils are described as the 'life force' or 'essence' of plants. The most wonderful thing about essential oils is that they are available to everyone and they are very simple to use once the basic concepts are understood and the appropriate methods and procedures are observed. The best known way to use essential oils is through massage. In this comprehensive book there are many, many more ways to use the oils for everything from arthritis and asthma to high blood pressure and constipation. Essential oils are now emerging as scientifically proven and accepted remedies for a variety of common conditions. The why and how certain oils heal still remains somewhat mysterious. Oils can help to treat everyday ailments, whether it be strengthening the immune system, fighting bacteria and viruses, and lowering stress levels to toning, relaxing and strengthening muscles. These oils help the body heal itself. This book features 109 oils and 450 remedies. The recipes are easy to follow, do not take a long time to make, and are quite inexpensive - the biggest cost is the oils. The oils are organized in an A to Z format, and each entry features the botanical name, a full description of how and why the oil is extracted as well as its therapeutic uses. Angelica for example has a sweet, rich smell, is excellent in all skin care preparations both as a tonic and to soften and smooth rough, dry skin. It reduces inflammation and can be useful when applied to irritated skin. As a massage oil it purifies the body and acts as a lymphatic stimulator, draining the body of excess fluid, increasing energy and generally quickening the functioning of glands. It's also an excellent tonic for the entire digestive system as it strengthens the liver, stimulates appetite, aids digestion and generally boosts the whole digestive system.

Treat yourself to the anti-aging benefits of facial cupping without the expense of a professional cosmetic procedure. Facial cupping is a safe, non-invasive and easy practice designed to highlight cheekbones, define the jawline, tighten skin and target those dreaded drooping jowls. In this book you’ll find more than 60 step-by step photos and clear easy-to-follow directions. You will learn how to prepare your skin, which equipment and products to use and all the proper procedures for best results. Facial cupping increases circulation while stimulating natural collagen and elastin production. Increased blood flow delivers oxygen and nutrients to alleviate the signs of stress and inflammation while giving the face a youthful glow. Facial cupping has become one of the most popular anti-aging treatments in Hollywood for celebs prepping for the red carpet. But facial cupping isn’t new. In fact, it has been used in traditional medicine for centuries. Facial cupping is similar to body cupping, as both increase circulation, relieve tension and help to defend the body against infections. While body cupping might leave a mark on the skin, facial cupping uses smaller soft silicone cups made for even the most sensitive skin which, when administered properly, will not leave a mark. Author Shannon Gilmartin is a cupping expert with decades of experience teaching and administering the treatment. With Shannon’s expertise, you’ll quickly master this age-old practice and skip expensive sessions with a dermatologist or esthetician.

An ancient technique has found its place in the modern world of healing. In recent years, you've noticed countless high profile athletes and celebrities sporting distinctive circular 'cupping' welts on their bodies - the back and shoulder area being most common. Dating back thousands of years, cupping is a form of alternative medicine. The cups create suction and help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, deep relaxation and can even provide relief for sciatica and sinus congestion. Massage Cupping(TM) body therapy is a modern and modified version of cupping therapy that creates suction and negative pressure through the use of both stationary and moving cups. These cups can be found on pharmacy shelves and they do not use heat unlike traditional glass cupping - making them entirely safe and easy for home use. Shannon Gilmartin is a nationally Certified Massage Cupping & MediCupping Educator. She teaches this wonderfully diverse therapy here and abroad and has witnessed the positive outcomes in her patients. She now shares all her extraordinary professional and hands-on experience within these pages, so that everyone can experience the positive benefits of cupping. Nearly 200 step-by-step photos and full colour pages make it easy to follow Shannon's instruction. In a highly informative but easy-to-understand approach she takes you through: * The history of cupping, the types of cups and the many therapeutic benefits of cupping from skeletal and muscular to the digestive and nervous systems; * What to expect after a cupping session including comprehensive safety and techniques information; * Applications for common conditions that range from stress and back tension to frozen shoulder, carpal tunnel syndrome, TMJD (temporomandibular joint dysfunction) and even acid reflux; * There's even a section for speciality applications like athletic performance, prenatal and working with inflammation (acute vs. chronic). Understand and explore the many extraordinary benefits of cupping that are found in Shannon's amazing guide.
