vanish entirely, are brought to life and provided new context
through this book.

Rustic isn’t what it used to be. Gone are the days when rustic
style meant fusty dried flower arrangements, antlers over a stone
fireplace and acres of tartan. At its heart, the modern rustic look
celebrates the fabric of a home, from the roof beams to the
brickwork. This style revels in earthy colours and rich textures;
in natural materials such as wood and stone; and the ruggedly
handsome bones of a building. In this book, stylist Emily Henson
and writer Joanna Simmons first lead you through the Elements of
the Modern Rustic look. Pure Rustic elegantly blends clean lines
with muted shades of grey. Bohemian Rustic mixes texture and
pattern with lush colour, while Pop Rustic teams raw wood with pops
of neon and tongue-in-cheek artworks. Retro Rustic, meanwhile,
brings a relaxed feel, showcasing beaten-up leather armchairs and
brick floors. In Details, textiles, furniture, fabric and display
are explored, while Living Spaces shows how Modern Rustic style
translates beautifully to every room in the house.

Each entry tells the story of how the recipe came about, why it is special – and of course celebrates the diversity of shisanyama available in South Africa. Shisanyama literally means ‘to burn meat’ in Zulu, and refers to the act of coming together to cook meat on an open fire.

Food in the Caribbean reflects both the best and worst of the
Caribbean's history. On the positive side, Caribbean culture has
been compared with a popular stew there called Callaloo. The stew
analogy comes from the many different ethic groups peacefully
maintaining their traditions and customs while blending together,
creating a distinct new flavor. On the negative side, many foods
and cooking techniques derive from a history of violent European
conquest, the importation of slaves from Africa, and the indentured
servitude of immigrants in the plantation system. Within this
context, students and other readers will understand the diverse
island societies and ethnicities through their food cultures. Some
highlights include the discussion of the Caribbean concept of
"making do"--using whatever is on hand or can be found--the unique
fruits and starches, the one-pot meal, the technique of jerking
meat, and the preference for cooking outdoors. The Caribbean is
known as the cradle of the Americas. The Columbian food exchange,
which brought products from the Caribbean and the Americas to the
rest of the world, transformed global food culture. Caribbean food
culture has wider resonance to North, Central, and South America as
well. The parallels in the food-related evolution in the Americas
include the early indigenous foods and agriculture; the import and
export of foods; the imported food culture of colonizers, settlers,
and immigrants; the intricacies of defining an independent national
food culture; the loss of the traditional agricultural system; the
trade issues sparked by globalization; and the health crises
prompted by the growing fast-food industry. This thorough overview
of island foodculture is an essential component in understanding
the Caribbean past and present.
