The recipes all work and the vignettes are joyful and serve as a wonderful entrée to the recipes themselves.

Abraham has created a compelling collection of queer voices. A powerful book to dip in and out of. A must read!
With clear and detailed images -without any hands in the way!- this book is perfect for those looking to pick up the hobby.
Tested to death in the Moosewood Restaurant and drawn by the chef herself, this book is a loyal companion and a cult classic.
This is a book which encourages you to be sensitive, to love over and over and to see the beauty in yourself and the world around you.
I find this recipe book easy to follow, straightforward to shop for and accurate in its estimations. Delicious and doable!
I want to magically put this book in the hands of anyone on the pill, considering the pill, or even those who have loved ones on the pill.
Don’t let the emphasis on women’s sexuality in the blurb throw you off, this is an informative read for all genders.
This book is both a manual for how to spot corruption, a recipe for its undoing and a shining example of why journalism is so important.
This memoir provided me with a beautiful escape. I needed a calm harbour and this understated memoir was perfect.
I shall never look at another work of art (or the quiet, self-effacing museum and gallery guards) with quite the same eyes.
Unpicking the misconceptions that are held about her job, Doughty snuffs out myths & shines light on a necessary but nebulous industry.
Neil does an excellent job of balancing the true toil of raiding and slaving with interesting cultural stories.
With such a flair for drama, Hari somehow manages to make research feel utterly gripping. A thought provoking read, full of good reminders.
Rebanks makes quiet communion with ancient ways feel electrifying, and his beautifully evocative language makes for transporting reading.
The writing is so courageously honest while sneakily feeding you an NZ history lesson through a series of intimate experiences.
Told in a series of short stories, poems, quotes and vignettes, Maggie Smith mosaics together moments from the most trying time of her life.
It’s like a collection of newspaper clippings. Each text is short enough to whet your appetite but leaves you hungry for more.
The perfect book to pick up and put down – every time you flip to a new page, you’re sure to learn something new.
It doesn’t attempt to explain the politics of the genocide but forms a touching and tragic patchwork of loss and endurance against the odds.
