Finalist for the Guild of Food Writers Awards 2021: General Cookbook Voted Best Outdoor Dining Spot in London by VOGUE Magazine Selected as a best cookbook of the year by the Guardian, The Independent, Stylist and Daily Mail Lori & Laura are a magical team. I suggest you dive in and cook up a Towpath feast for your friends and family. Fergus & Margot Henderson From St. John’s to River Cafe, London’s food scene is peppered with iconic restaurants that are now intertwined with the city’s landscape. Towpath is no different. The café, run by Lori de Mori and Laura Jackson, is a permanent fixture along Regent’s Canal, complete with the honks of riverside coots and speeding cyclists. What sets it apart, however, is that it has no phone or takeaway; with only outdoor seating and no laptops it is one of the few places in London where time stands still. Part snapshot of life on the canal, part recipe book, Towpath: Recipes & Stories captures the ebb and flow of Towpath’s ever-changing seasonal menus and its waterside community, offering Laura’s vibrant recipes alongside evocative stories by Lori. The cookbook features Italian classics like Aubergine Parmigiana and Olive Oil Cake and French delights like the Raspberry and Frangipane Tart amongst other Towpath specialties like Roast Chicken and gooey Cheese Toastie with a side of Quince Jam. In the words of Olia Hercules, ‘[Towpath] is a cookbook that absolutely everyone should possess. It’s a life-changing kind of thing.’ Towpath is one of the reasons I live in London. It’s a jewel-like, dream of a place. This book is an invite into their magical world. Keira Knightley

'An amazing read! I galloped through it' Lady Antonia Fraser 'Lawrence has done an excellent job of recreating this eccentric gardening guru's life' The Times 'My pick for gardening book of the year is this page-turning life story of Ellen Willmott' The Sunday Times 'Sandra Lawrence tells her story with brio and affection' Daily Mail 'Simply brilliant and a joy to read' The English Garden Ellen Ann Willmott was a remarkable woman whose achievements in horticulture, botany, landscape architecture, photography and more, should have made her one of the most well-known trailblazers of her age. Yet, both posthumously and within her lifetime, she instead became known as a bitter, cantankerous and eccentric miser, and her reputation has been forever stained by the image of her maliciously seeding other people's gardens with thorns. The beginnings of this prickly myth can be traced back to her conspicuous absence at what should have been the pinnacle of her career: the Royal Horticultural Society's inaugural Victoria Medal of Honour Award ceremony, at which she was due to be one of only two female recipients. Universally interpreted as the rudest of snubs, nobody has ever stopped to question why Ellen wasn't there, or if she was really as difficult and mean as she has been portrayed ever since. Author, Sandra Lawrence, has been granted unparalleled access to her archives, and with it has uncovered the secrets behind this thorniness. This is a book with it all: gossip, sisters, rivalry, squandered inheritance, forbidden love, bad marriages and, at the heart of it all, trailblazing talent.

Outdoor writer Mike Arnold takes us on an impressionistic journey through Coutada 11, a once again magnificent natural area in Mozambique’s Zambeze Delta. Mike leads us from its poached-out days as a source of bush meat for starving villagers and civil war military troops to the arrival in the early ‘90s of hunting outfitter Mark Haldane and his partners, on their often perilous, sometimes hilarious, travails to take the defiled and uninhabitable place and make it whole again.

Through Mike’s encounters with Haldane and his crew of scientists, guides, and motor-cycle-riding poacher patrols; with local villagers who were an integral part from the beginning; and, of course, with the apex predators, birds, and game animals that 30 years ago no one could have imagined thriving in this locale, this book serves as proof that a small group of dedicated people can make all the difference, and dreams can come true.

"Historic Cheeses" discusses the production of cheese in Leicestershire and the Midlands and looks at how it has developed and expanded over many centuries. This is a must read for anyone with a love for fine cheese! When Trevor Hickman published the first history of Stilton cheese in 1995, he had spent over 30 years researching the manufacture of the 'King of English Cheeses'. He has encountered much opposition from local politicians and cheese makers. They argued that Stilton cheese was never made in the village of Stilton in Huntingdonshire on the Roman road called Ermine Street, but was instead made around the district of Melton Mowbray. In this book the author has attempted to correct this. A blue-veined, pressed cream cheese was made in the town of Stilton by 1721, and it was called Stilton cheese. A different type of cream cheese which developed blue veins was produced in the farm dairies in the village of Wymondham, Leicestershire, before 1600, and was marketed in the name of the producers. Frances Pawlett of Wymondham and Cooper Thornhill, an entrepreneur living in Stilton and trading into London, changed the manufacture and marketing of this world-famous cheese. Another influential individual, Shuckburgh Ashby, an entrepreneur with connections with the banking community in London, began dealing with Leicestershire cheese from Hinckley, Leicester and eventually Quenby Hall. This pressed cheese developed in the Sparkenhoe Hundred in Leicestershire, off the Roman roads known as the Fosse Way and Watling Street. The marketing of the pressed wheels of Leicestershire cheese brought many competitors. In the 1740s Ashby became aware of a new cheese that was being marketed in London, Stilton cheese, which was sold out of Cornhill, London, by Cooper Thornhill. After Thornhill's death, Ashby controlled much of the Stilton cheese trade into London, which was by then being made at Quenby Hall. The production of cheese in Leicestershire and the Midlands has developed and expanded over many centuries. In the 20th century cheese production came under the control of national Government, which stipulated that all blue-veined cream cheese must be produced from pasteurised milk. There was considerable opposition to these controls and protests surfaced again in 1989 when the Minister of Agriculture intended to ban the sale of unpasteurised cheese. The Specialist Cheesemakers' Association was formed in opposition, with Randolph Hodgson as chairman. Nowadays a fine Leicestershire cheese is made near Hinckley and Stichelton cheese is made in Nottinghamshire from the original Stilton cheese recipe. Both are made from organic, unpasteurised milk.

This title comes from the author of the best-selling "Mysterious Lincolnshire", "Mysterious Northamptonshire" and "Mysterious Cambridgeshire". Daniel Codd takes the reader on a mystery tour through this beautiful, mystical, enchanting and yet eerie county. "Mysterious Somerset and Bristol" is the next volume in DB Publishing's "Mysterious Counties" series. It takes the reader on a fascinating journey through this most beautiful, mystical, enchanting and yet sometimes eerie county, looking at its strange historical curiosities, unexplained mysteries and supernatural phenomena. Covering a wide area - from Exmoor, through the Brendon Hills and the Quantocks, the Mendip Hills and Cheddar Gorge, to the Avon Gorge and southern Bristol - the author has unearthed hundreds of strange tales and anecdotes to capture the imagination and, sometimes, chill the blood. Researched and compiled from archive sources, although up-to-date and including many contemporary first-hand accounts and contributions, "Mysterious Somerset and Bristol" should prove a satisfying read for the lovers of all that is weird, wonderful and unexplained in this part of the South West. What is behind the ghostly sobbing that plagues an organic farm near North Petherton? Can it be that King Arthur's ghost still patrols South Cadbury? What are the monstrous creatures that have occasionally been encountered in the Bristol Channel? Does a petrified witch really glare at tourists in the subterranean recesses of Wookey Hole? And what to make of the strange things that have been witnessed in the skies: phantom battles over Lansdown, exploding meteorites over Yeovil, twin suns over Chard and, most recently, a staggering array of missiles, phantom aeroplanes and mysterious UFOs? Within these pages, the reader will discover a Somerset and Bristol rich in folklore, supernatural and paranormal phenomena, myth and legend - a land where every town and village from Minehead to Bath hides a perplexing mystery; "Mysterious Somerset and Bristol" is the most thought-provoking and comprehensive look at the region's mysteries in years.

This is a paperback reprint of the 1999 original, back by popular demand. This is a unique collection of over 300 photographs, which vividly depict the people and places of yesteryear Chorley. It captures a fascinating glimpse of the town in a decade of great change. To the generation of today, whose parents and grandparents were themselves young people during the 1950s, stories about what was the norm in those 'far off days', can be equated with history lessons. It was so long ago...yet to those of us who lived in Chorley before, during, and after that decade, we can remember the period so well - or can we? Is it perhaps, that we can remember living in Chorley because of events that happened worldwide or nationally, thus recalling what we were doing at the time? Was it because we met our partner at some dance in the town? Or was it because we recall the records and songs that we listened to, or the films we saw? During the 1950s, Chorley had five cinemas, some of them changing their programme midweek, allowing us to see plenty of films, if we had the pocket money. The records we listened to were usually 78rpm and played on 'wind up' gramophones during the early part of the decade. On Saturday mornings, there was the Mickey Mouse Club at the Odeon for the younger children, where "Flash Gordon" or "Hopalong Cassidy" serials left us in suspense until the following week. On Sunday evenings, the "Big Band Sound" could be heard at live shows on the stage of the Plaza Cinema, many of the famous dance bands of the time, with their singers coming to entertain there. Dancing was usually at church clubs or the Ambulance Hall, until the 'Vic' and the 'Tudor', dancehalls opened. Or, there were the excursion trains to Backpool every Saturday night! There was a roller skating rink off Cunliffe Street, and on Sunday afternoons it was the thing to do, to dress in your best and walk up and down the 'main drag' (Market Street), to view the opposite sex! Then finish up in Howarth's Milk Bar for a hot Vimto or a milk shake. 'Young people', (there were no teenagers then) had to be home by 10.30pm and the girls stayed in on Friday nights to 'wash their hair'. Traffic through the town was heavy, especially at weekends when all the coaches and cars would be en route to Blackpool or the Lake District - there were no motorways then! 'King Cotton' still held sway in the employment stakes, together with the R.O.F. and Leyland Motors. And many lads aspired only to join a church club so they could play snooker, then own a cue...with their name on the case! This then was Chorley through the 1950s.
