Rebecca and Kate Lund, aka The Delish Sisters, are constantly inspired by the everchanging food industry and love to create beautiful food experiences for clients, friends and family. They enjoy experimenting with new and exotic spices and ingredients, and encouraging people to be a bit adventurous, and in turn see that it’s so simple to do themselves too! Rebecca and Kate’s recipes are fresh, wholesome, colourful, seasonal and ‘mostly healthy’. There are more indulgent dishes and treats, but they keep the eating experience balanced and as inclusive as possible – there are plenty of sugar-free, glutenfree recipes, delicious vegetarian options and tasty vegan food.
Knowing the origins of our food is important and they have developed recipes that make use of ‘whole foods’ and celebrate the least refi ned versions of ingredients. They love what they do, where they live and the power that food has to bring people together.
Delish Sisters – Tasty Food Made With Love is clear evidence of this and is a must for anyone who enjoys delicious, well-balanced meals shared with friends and family.
“I saw my mommy walking to the court with a hoodie on and a scarf covering her face. She looked almost like someone that was poor. People were cursing at her… and that broke me. This is the woman who was there for me every day, making lunch for me and my friends when we came from school, and now here she is on television being called a criminal.”
The kidnapping of baby Zephany Nurse from the cot beside her mother’s hospital bed made headline news. Desperate pleas from her parents to return her safely went unanswered. There was no trace of the baby. For 17 years, on her birthday, the Nurse family lit candles and hoped and prayed.
Living not far away from the Nurses, 17-year-old Miché Solomon had just started Matric. She had a boyfriend. She had devoted parents. She was thinking about the upcoming school dance and the dress her mother was going to make for her. She had no idea that a new girl at her school, who bore an uncanny resemblance to her, and a DNA test would shake her world to its foundations.
Miché is now 22. This is her story – for the first time in her own words. Told with astonishing maturity, honesty and compassion, it is also a story of what it means to love and be loved, and of claiming your identity.
"Do you want to write clearer, livelier prose? This witty primer
will help." -The New York Times Book Review An exploration of how
the most ordinary words can be turned into verbal constellations of
extraordinary grace through the art of building sentences The
sentence is the common ground where every writer walks. A good
sentence can be written (and read) by anyone if we simply give it
the gift of our time, and it is as close as most of us will get to
making something truly beautiful. Using minimal technical terms and
sources ranging from the Bible and Shakespeare to George Orwell and
Maggie Nelson, as well as scientific studies of what can best fire
the reader's mind, author Joe Moran shows how we can all write in a
way that is clear, compelling and alive. Whether dealing with
finding the ideal word, building a sentence, or constructing a
paragraph, First You Write a Sentence informs by light example:
much richer than a style guide, it can be read not only for
instruction but for pleasure and delight. And along the way, it
shows how good writing can help us notice the world, make ourselves
known to others, and live more meaningful lives. It's an elegant
gem in praise of the English sentence.

'John Bargh's Before You Know It moves our understanding of the
mysteries of human behaviour one giant step forward. A brilliant
and convincing book.' - Malcolm Gladwell, author of Blink and David
and Goliath How much of what we say, feel and do is under our
conscious control? How much is not? And most crucial of all: if we
understood how our unconscious worked - if we knew why we do what
we do - could we finally, fundamentally, know ourselves? From
checking a dating app to holding a cup of coffee or choosing who to
vote for, our unconscious secretly governs everything we feel,
think and do. In Before You Know It, Dr John Bargh - the world's
leading expert on the unconscious mind - reveals the psychological
forces that are at work behind the scenes as we go about our daily
lives, and offers simple steps to improve your sleep, boost your
memory and live better.

living in the moment, trusting your sixth-sense instincts, to
taking cat naps and even going feral, this book will show you how
to benefit by unleashing your innate cattitude.Cats' ability to
seize the day makes them excellent examples of how to make the most
of every moment; whether it's playing an impromptu game of chase
the sock, or an opportune swiping of a slice of roast chicken, our
cats have it sorted. They're flexible but also prepared to tread
their own path and they recognise the importance of play and rest
in equal quantities.This book reveals the nine different traits

practical tips and exercises, interspersed with folklore and fun
facts about our kitty gurus, there's something for everyone. So
stretch out, relax and learn the art of being more cat.
Classic Sketchbook: Cats shows how it's done by showing
museum-quality works, then coaching you to try the techniques with
the help an expert's suggestions. Whether scribbling out a quick
sketch with minimal detail, or making a finished portrait where
every silky hair and polished whisker stands out, the best cat
artists can capture the very essence of feline-ness. How do they do
it? Firsthand observation of cats will tell you a lot about the way
they sit, yawn, tweak their tails, and curl up to sleep, but it
won't tell you how to get those things down on paper. Classic
Sketchbook: Cats is the second in a series of instructional books
that began with Classic Sketchbook: Botanicals. The series shows
how to draw your subjects by looking at the details of
museum-quality works, then coaching you through the techniques with
the help an expert's suggestions. In this case the expert is
Patricia Wynne, a noted illustrator with a specialty in animals.
Wynne will guide you through fur, paws, and eyes, as well as cats
sleeping, playing, or pouncing. Her unique instructions places a
close-up of a drawing or painting by a noted artist like Gauguin,
Chardin, Gwen John, and Theodore Steinlen on the left side of the
page. And on the right side of the page Patricia Wynne coaches you
with detailed, step-by-step drawings, that illuminate the process.
Each memo pad contains 80 tear-free sheets of paper. Illustrated
with fabulous art on both the front and back of each pad, with 4
different page designs (see below). Delightful notepads to keep for
yourself or to give as gifts or party favours.
