In this sequel to the popular A Hippo Love Story, author Karen Paolillo takes us deeper into her courageous but perilous life among Africa’s wildlife.

Hippos, a Mongoose and Me is a collection of vivid stories reflecting the decades that Karen has lived and worked in the wilds of southeast Zimbabwe. The tales encompass a wide variety of animals and experiences, including Karen’s extraordinary affinity with hippos, life with her beloved mongoose, characterful baboons and rescued birds, close encounters with lions and an injured buffalo, and her heart-stopping flight from an enraged elephant. To add to the drama, Karen and her husband Jean-Roger must face off against the drumbeat of political subterfuge and poaching of wildlife, sometimes at great personal risk.

Inspiring, surprising and sometimes sad, this heartfelt anthology is testament to the courage and resilience of its intrepid author.

Rebecca and Kate Lund, aka The Delish Sisters, are constantly inspired by the everchanging food industry and love to create beautiful food experiences for clients, friends and family. They enjoy experimenting with new and exotic spices and ingredients, and encouraging people to be a bit adventurous, and in turn see that it’s so simple to do themselves too! Rebecca and Kate’s recipes are fresh, wholesome, colourful, seasonal and ‘mostly healthy’. There are more indulgent dishes and treats, but they keep the eating experience balanced and as inclusive as possible – there are plenty of sugar-free, glutenfree recipes, delicious vegetarian options and tasty vegan food.

Knowing the origins of our food is important and they have developed recipes that make use of ‘whole foods’ and celebrate the least refi ned versions of ingredients. They love what they do, where they live and the power that food has to bring people together.

Delish Sisters – Tasty Food Made With Love is clear evidence of this and is a must for anyone who enjoys delicious, well-balanced meals shared with friends and family.
