Eat Bike Cook brings together 40 delicious easy recipes created to
meet the energy demands of cyclists, with tips, hacks and food
diaries from women cyclists, both professionals and enthusiastic
amateurs. There are quick, up-and-at-'em breakfast ideas to charge
you up pre-ride, energy-boosting back pocket picnics to keep you
going strong while you're on the road and wonderfully restorative
main meals to share with friends once you've crossed the finish
line. With stunning food photography and illustrations by Kitty
Pemberton-Platt, whose drawings have lit up Instagram with their
honest visualisations of what female cyclists really eat. As well
as providing inspiration on easy and tasty ways to fuel for days on
the bike, Eat Bike Cook is a celebration of the female cycling
community: of the great chat in a cafe mid-ride, of the handful of
Haribos that gets you through the last 25km and the shared beer and
burger at the end of the day.

At once a memoir, a celebration of French-inspired cooking, and a
tribute to the wild, Dining with Elephants invites you to taste not
just the meals but the magic of a life lived close to nature.
When Françoise traded Parisian comforts for Zululand, she had no idea
her kitchen would one day be shared with elephants, cheeky monkeys, and
the occasional snake. What began as a rundown farmhouse became Thula
Thula Private Game Reserve – a place where hospitality and conservation
entwine in the most unexpected ways.
This book blends mouth-watering recipes with tales of life alongside a
cast of mischievous creatures who regularly gatecrash the dinner table.
From baboons in the swimming pool to elephants sampling the vegetable
garden, each story captures the chaos, humour, and deep lessons of
living with the wild.
Alongside, Françoise shares the inventive, resourceful dishes created
with her Zulu kitchen team.
Dining with Elephants is not your ordinary cookbook. It’s a feast of
stories and flavours from the heart of the African bush, where French
cuisine meets wild adventure.
