It's this simple, vegetables are good for us, we don't eat enough of them and when we do, we don't always eat them in right way. Pure is packed full of only the most real and raw juices, shots and booster juices. From revitalising morning juices, to midday booster fuel shots and restorative nutrient-dense juices to replenish your system in the evening, Pure will help you integrate vegetable juicing into your daily routine. The recipes are based on the principle that the greatest proportion of the juice will always be made from raw vegetables with just a small amount of fruit, herbs and spices added for flavour, which makes these juices the most potent, concentrated and nutrient rich source in your daily diet. The juices, smoothies, milks, butters and even snacks (made from the pulp leftover from the juice) will improve your health and flood your system with the minerals, vitamins and energy that it needs throughout the day. The juicing revolution is starting and these are the cleanest, purest and healthiest juices you can have.

Very effective at boosting health, and a great substitute for a sugar-loaded snack, juices can have a fast and positive impact on vitality and mood. As fresh produce retains most of its vitamins, minerals, enzymes and plant chemicals that are usually killed off by heat in cooking processes, juicing is a great way to absorb nutrients, helping to protect against cardiovascular problems and inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. Juicing also fights food intolerances, removing wheat and dairy products from the system and does wonders for bloated stomachs. Children especially will enjoy the bright colours and fresh tastes and will never know there are vegetables hidden among their favourite fruits.

Coffee houses played an important role in the cultural and intellectual history of the seventeenth century. Functioning as venues where people could meet, catch up with news, transact business and discuss issues of mutual concern, they provided a valuable alternative to public houses: the absence of alcohol allowed for more serious conversation. First published in 1893, this illustrated study by Edward Forbes Robinson (fl.1890) explores the history of the English coffee house and its role in seventeenth-century social and political life. Beginning with a history of coffee itself, Robinson examines the religious traditions surrounding the beverage, moving on to discuss its medical uses and the clientele who frequented the establishments that served it. The role of the coffee house as a temperance institution is also considered. With an appendix containing a selection of contemporary texts and descriptions of coffee house tokens, this lively study remains significant to social historians.

For centuries, tea has held a valued place in both Eastern and Western cultures. From the ritual of a Japanese tea ceremony to the cosy informality of an English cuppa at the kitchen table, tea soothes, grounds and comforts us. It's no surprise that so many of us switch the kettle on at the first sign of trouble - keep calm and drink tea! In fact, that's how this book came about. After a particularly stressful week, editor Anouska Jones was sitting at home with her husband complaining about everything that had gone wrong. As he put their teapot and two mugs down on the table, her husband commented, 'Cheer up! You can't be miserable when you've got a bright red teapot in front of you!' The very next morning, Anouska started researching quotes about tea and before long she had a collection of memorable quotations from rock stars (Mick Jagger, Rod Stewart), Buddhist monks (Thich Nat Hahn), politicians (Abraham Lincoln, William Gladstone), actors (Audrey Hepburn, Billy Connolly), adventurers (Bear Grylls) and more. It seems tea's appeal is truly universal! A tribute to the world's favorite drink, this beautifully designed collection of quotes and photographs captures the sense of joy, comfort and homespun tradition given only by a good brew. In reading it, you may even experience the same pleasure as in drinking a perfectly brewed cup of your own particular favorite.
