Expectation meets Julie and Julia, The Yellow Kitchen is a
brilliant exploration of food, belonging and friendship. London
E17, 2019. A yellow kitchen stands as a metaphor for the lifelong
friendship between three women: Claude, the baker, goal-orientated
Sophie and political Giulia. They have the best kind of friendship,
chasing life and careers; dating, dreaming and consuming but always
returning to be reunited in the yellow kitchen. That is, until a
trip to Lisbon unravels unexplored desires between Claude and
Sophie. Having sex is one thing, waking up the day after is the
beginning of something new. Exploring the complexities of female
friendship, The Yellow Kitchen is a hymn to the last year of London
as we knew it and a celebration of the culture, the food and the
rhythms we live by. Praise for The Yellow Kitchen: 'Rich and
thoroughly intoxicating, The Yellow Kitchen is a sensual journey
into friendship, food and female sexuality, full of complex,
fascinating characters and bold ideas. I loved it' Rosie Walsh 'A

provocative and utterly distinctive' Paula Hawkins 'An exquisite

redemption, and memorable meals, The Yellow Kitchen is the perfect
recipe for a flavorful literary feast. With subtle dashes of wit
and generous sprinklings of honesty, Margaux Vialleron has crafted
a brave and tender tale' Kim Fay, author of Love & Saffron 'The
Yellow Kitchen is so warm and convivial in atmosphere, and its
discussion of the politics of the UK and their impact very
poignant. It portrayed beautifully the sense of adventure of being
a certain age, with its rush and richness and emotional confusion,
and I found it such a satisfying read' Emily Itami, author of Fault
Lines

Ray Mears has travelled the world discovering how native people
manage to live on just what nature provides. Whats always
frustrated him is not knowing how our own ancestors fed themselves
and what we could learn about our own diet. We know they were
hunter-gatherers, but no-one has been able to tell what they ate
day to day. How did they find their calories, week in week out
throughout the year? What were their staple foods? Where did they
get their vitamins? How did they ensure their bodies received
enough variety? In this book he travels back ten thousand years to
a time before farming to learn how our ancestors found, prepared
and cooked their food. This extraordinary journey reveals many new
possibilities many of the same food sources are still there for us
if only we know where to look. Through Ray Mears' knowledge of the
countryside and the research conducted specially for this book with
archaeo-botanist Gordon Hillman, we learn many new, useful and
often surprising things about the amazingly rich natural larder
that still surrounds us.
‘I was a brash newcomer to it, and yet when I first felt the rhythm of its streets and smelled its ancient smells, I said, “Of course”, for I was once more in my own place, an invader of what was already mine.’
M. F. K. Fisher moved to Aix-en-Provence with her young daughters after the Second World War.In Map of Another Town, she traces the history of this ancient and famous town, known for its tree-lined avenues, pretty fountains and ornate façades. Beyond the tourist sights, Fisher introduces us to its inhabitants:the waiters and landladies, down-and-outs and local characters, all recovering from the effects of the war in a drastically new France.
Fisher is known as one of America’s most celebrated food writers; here she gives us a fascinating portrait of a place. It is, as she confesses, a self-portrait: ‘my picture, my map, of a place and therefore of myself ’.This is an intimate travel memoir written in Fisher’s inimitable style – confident, confiding and always compelling.

In this blistering memoir of his life in the baking business, Dean
Brettschneider describes his journey from a small town baker's
apprentice to Global Baker and the internationally successful
entrepreneur he is today. Make no mistake -- this is not a book
about baking. As we follow the interwoven arcs of Dean's career and
personal life, his experience teaches us practical lessons on how
to harness our passion to strategically improve ourselves and
advance our careers. His revelations on entrepreneurship -- most
notably how he founded Baker & Cook and transformed it from a
neighbourhood bakery into a multi-national money-spinner in a
matter of years -- give us a first row view of what goes into
building a business from the ground up, including all of the pain
and sacrifice that comes with it. Told in a refreshingly frank
manner, Dean's story is sometimes shockingly direct, often
hilarious, and always enlightening, leaving us with valuable astute
insights into how to navigate the trials and tribulations of life
in business.
The history of Johnnie Walker, tracing its roots back to 1820, is
also the history of Scotch whisky. But who was John Walker - the
man who started the story? And how did his business grow from the
shelves of a small grocery shop in Kilmarnock to become the world's
No. 1 Scotch? A Long Stride tells the story of how John Walker and
a succession of ingenious and progressive business leaders embraced
their Scottish roots to walk confidently on an international stage.
By doing things their own way, Johnnie Walker overturned the
conventions of late Victorian and Edwardian Britain, survived two
world wars and the Great Depression, coming back stronger each
time, to become the first truly global whisky brand,
revolutionising the world of advertising along the way. Ultimately
the story is a testament to how an obsession with quality and a
relentless drive to always move forward created a Scotch whisky
loved in every corner of the world
