Kamini Pather first exploded onto the South African culinary scene as a
participant and winner of the second series of MasterChef South Africa.
Since then her life and cuisine journey has taken her down various
paths, and although she always remains grounded and grateful to her
heritage, she is not solely defined by it. As Kamini herself says, ‘All
Dhal’d Up is a collection of ancestrally-derived recipes that have been
updated through ingredients and techniques –the old world has been
given some fancy.’ The concept of good-mood food leans gently into
health, while ‘Indian-ish’ is a perfect nod to her ancestry, but fused
with other cultures and their influence on the food she likes to eat.
So although you will find traditional recipes, such as potato curry
with nigella seeds, hot water roti and rasam, as well as the
Sunday-standard meal of chicken curry, they are flanked by the delights
of cauliflower rice lamb biriyani, panko-crumbed patha wraps, bacon
dhal, pudhina hummus and rosewater ice-cream sandwiches with pistachio
cookies.
Ever mindful of the demands of busy lives and consciences, Kamini has
ensured that the recipes are simple to follow, and are mindful of
healthy ideals and sustainably sourced ingredients.
William Warwick and Ross Hogan return, for one last time, in a gripping and unputdownable finale.
London, 2012. The eyes of the world are on Britain as the country prepares to host the Olympic Games.
But the glare of the spotlight makes London a target for some of the most dangerous people on earth. And the moment the bid is won, an international conspiracy is set in motion to unleash a devastating attack that will leave the world in chaos.
One man stands between triumph and disaster: Commander William Warwick, heading up Scotland Yard's elite team. But as he pursues the shadowy organisation, he sets off a deadly game of cat and mouse which will take him from the bustling streets of London to the hidden corridors of power. Can Warwick stop the assassin before the greatest show on earth becomes a catastrophe …
Daughter. Prisoner. Survivor. Warrior.
Nobody’s Girl ... This is Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s last word.
In 2011, Virginia Roberts Giuffre hit the headlines as Jeffrey Epstein
and Ghislaine Maxwell’s most outspoken victim: the woman whose decision
to speak out helped send both serial abusers to prison and whose
photograph with Prince Andrew catalyzed his fall from grace. But first
and foremost, she became known as a voice of courage and resilience for
women everywhere. This is her story, in her own words. A story that has
never been told in full before now. It demonstrates with extraordinary
power that victims are made, not born. And that once you come to truly
understand the horrifying impact of abuse, you will never again
question why a victim stays, or returns over and over again.
In April 2025, Giuffre took her own life. She left behind a memoir
written in the years preceding her death and stated unequivocally that
she wanted it published. This is the powerful story of an ordinary girl
who would grow up to confront adversity and trauma of the darkest form,
yet found the strength to move forwards, reclaim her voice and shine a
light on evil – advocating for others and fighting for a safer, fairer
world.
Nobody’s Girl is a remarkable recounting of one woman’s fortitude in
the face of depravity and despair, and the legacy she leaves behind.
Eben Etzebeth is the most-capped player in South African rugby history.
A towering lock, his intelligence, energy and aggression on the pitch
is feared, respected, often imitated but never matched.
He is the heart and soul of a historically successful Springbok team
and a key part of their astonishingly successful run that encompasses
two consecutive World Cups and a current two-year-stint at the top of
the world rankings. In this frank and disarming account, Eben uncovers
the key factors in his extraordinary success, and how he keeps
focussed, both on and off the pitch. From his humble beginnings in
Goodwood, a Cape Town suburb where nothing came easy, through his early
club career and on to his hard-won place within the South African
squad, UNLOCKED reveals the personal side of an astonishing
professional career.
This is an inspiring story of a man who has led from the front, and
played against the best in the world.
Bennie Griessel en Vaughn Cupido ontvang die blye tyding dat hulle
uiteindelik weer bevorder is tot die rang van kaptein. Maar hul vreugde
is van korte duur. Die vergruisde liggaam van een van Cupido se beste
vriende is gevind onder die motor waaraan hy in sy motorhuis gewerk het
. . . was dit 'n ongeluk, of koelbloedige moord? En op ’n imposante
plaas buite Stellenbosch ontplof ’n woonwa. Onverklaarbaar. Nadat die
vuur geblus is, word ’n liggaam in die wrak gevind . . .
The long-awaited and highly anticipated conclusion to Philip Pullman’s
bestselling The Book of Dust sequence . . .
‘Lyra: what will you do when you find this place in the desert, the
opening to the world of the roses?’
‘Defend it,’ Lyra said. ‘Die defending it.’
When readers left Lyra in The Secret Commonwealth she was alone, in the
ruins of a deserted city. Pantalaimon had run from her – part of
himself – in search of her imagination, which he believed she had lost.
Lyra travelled across the world from her Oxford home in search of her
dæmon. And Malcolm, loyal Malcolm, too journeyed far from home, towards
the Silk Roads in search of Lyra . . .
In The Rose Field, their quests converge in the most dangerous,
breathtaking and world-changing ways. They must take help from spies
and thieves, gryphons and witches, old friends and new, learning all
the while the depth and surprising truths of the alethiometer. All
around them, the world is aflame – made terrifying by fear, power and
greed.
As they move East, towards the red building that will reunite them and
give them answers – on Dust, on the special roses, on imagination – so
too does the Magisterium, at war against all that Lyra holds dear.
Marking thirty years since the world was first introduced to Pullman’s
remarkable heroine Lyra Belacqua in Northern Lights, The Rose Field is
the culmination of the cultural phenomenon of The Book of Dust and His
Dark Materials.
Vir hom begin alles met ’n besluit: Om mense te nooi vir ete. En dan
kom die groot beplanning: die datum, die gaste, die tema en dekor en
laaste – maar seker die belangrikste – die spyskaart.
In Herman se tafel bied Herman Lensing tien unieke spyskaarte, elkeen
geskoei op ’n tema waarby al die gange – voorgereg, hoofgereg, nagereg
en meer – pas. Die keurige geregte in hierdie boek is saamgestel met
kundigheid en styl, maar is deurgaans gebruikersvriendelik en
aanloklik. Daar is ou Suid-Afrikaanse bekendes, maar ook Italiaanse
pastas en ’n Franse nagereg of twee; disse waarin vars kruie die kollig
steel, kuierkos vir lank eet, afshow-geregte om jou gaste te beïndruk
en ja, selfs happies vir
honde. En dan wys hy jou ook hoe om jou tafel te dek: óf met
uitspattighede, óf met dit wat jy reeds in jou huis het. Vir Herman is
die etenstafel die kern van die huis en van saamwees – van bande
versterk en van vriendskappe smee – en ’n simbool van alles wat
mooi en goed is. Met hierdie boek nooi Herman jou uit om fees te vier,
om moeite te doen, om die lewe te vier en om groot – dog moeiteloos –
te kook.
Eben Etzebeth is tans die speler wat al die meeste toetswedstryde in
die Suid-Afrikaanse rugbygeskiedenis gespeel het. Op die veld word
hierdie ellelange slot se intelligensie, energie en aggressie gevrees,
gerespekteer en dikwels nageboots – maar hy bly ongeëwenaard.
Hy is lid van die Springbokke se senior leierskapsgroep, en speel ’n
deurslaggewende rol in ’n ongelooflik suksesverhaal wat twee
agtereenvolgende Wêreldbekers insluit, asook die span se posisie boaan
die wêreldranglys die afgelope twee jaar.
In hierdie eerlike en onderhoudende vertelling beskryf Eben van die
vernaamste faktore vir sy buitengewone sukses, en hoe hy gefokus bly –
op en van die veld af. Van sy beskeie kinderjare in Goodwood – ’n
voorstad van Kaapstad waar niks maklik kom nie – regdeur sy vroeë
klubloopbaan, tot by sy swaar verdiende plek in die Suid-Afrikaanse
nasionale span, vertel Ten slotte die verhaal van ’n merkwaardige
sportloopbaan.
Ami het geweet die dag gaan kom dat sy moet afskeid neem van Paul de
Jager, die afgetrede polisiegeneraal wat met mening teen alzheimers
baklei het.
Maar wat sy nie verwag het nie, is sy laaste opdrag aan haar: Sy moet
met behulp van sy drie eksvroue na ’n onopgeloste saak uit die 1990’s
kyk.
Die drie weduwees, soos hulle genoem word, is aanvanklik ewe min lus om
aan Paul se versoek gehoor te gee. Wanneer ’n vyftienjarige seun van
Pretoria op pad kafee toe met net R20 in sy sak spoorloos verdwyn,
behoort daar tog iewers ’n leidraad te wees –
iets meer as die wit paneelwa wat daardie dag in die straat opgemerk is.
Met haar eerste besoek aan die Moot besef Ami sy is in die moeilikheid.
Hierdie storie gaan haar heel insluk en eers uitspoeg as die boomryke
buurt se laaste geheim blootgelê is.
Die drie weduwees is die vierde boek
in hierdie opwindende misdaadfiksiereeks. Dit volg op Minder as niks,
Die verkeerde vrou en Al wat tel, maar kan ook alleen gelees word.
Who knows what the storm will blow in…
Casey's cabin in the wilderness is not built for a hurricane. Her roof
shakes, the lights flicker, and the tree outside her front door sways
ominously in the wind. But she's a lot more worried about the girl she
discovers lurking outside her kitchen window.
She’s young. She’s alone. And she’s covered in blood.
The girl won't explain where she came from, or loosen her grip on the
knife in her right hand. And when Casey makes a disturbing discovery in
the middle of the night, things take a turn for the worse.
The girl has a dark secret. One she’ll kill to keep. And if Casey gets
too close to the truth, she may not live to see the morning.

'What is it you think you’re protecting in that brain of yours? The war
is over. Holdfast is dead. The Eternal Flame extinguished. There’s no
one left for you to save'
Once a promising alchemist, Helena Marino is now a prisoner — of war
and of her own mind. Her Resistance friends and allies have been
brutally murdered, her abilities suppressed, and the world she knew
destroyed.
In the aftermath of a long war, Paladia’s new ruling class of corrupt
guild families and depraved necromancers, whose vile, undead creatures
helped bring about their victory, holds Helena captive.
According to Resistance records, she was a healer of little importance
within their ranks. But Helena has inexplicable memory loss of the
months leading up to her capture, making her enemies wonder: Is she
truly as insignificant as she appears, or are her lost memories hiding
some vital piece of the Resistance’s final gambit?
To uncover the memories buried deep within her mind, Helena is sent to
the High Reeve, one of the most powerful and ruthless necromancers in
this new world. Trapped on his crumbling estate, Helena’s fight—to
protect her lost history and to preserve the last remaining shreds of
her former self—is just beginning.
For her prison and captor have secrets of their own . . . secrets
Helena must unearth, whatever the cost.
This book tells the story of how Julius Malema used his growing

from the VBS Bank found its way to Malema and Shivambu. It shows
the insidious ways in which money courses through South African
politics and how some leaders exploit valid grievances about
inequality to steal from the very people they claim to fight for.

When New York architect Tate Donovan arrives in Cape Cod to design his
best friend’s summer home, he is hoping to make a fresh start. Recently
discharged from an upscale psychiatric facility where he was treated
for acute depression, he is still wrestling with the pain of losing his
beloved sister. Sylvia’s deathbed revelation—that she can see spirits
who are still tethered to the living world, a gift that runs in their
family—sits uneasily with Tate, who struggles to believe in more than
what reason can explain. But when he takes up residence at a historic
bed-and-breakfast on the Cape, he encounters a beautiful young woman
named Wren who will challenge every assumption he has about his logical
and controlled world.
Tate and Wren find themselves forging an immediate connection, one that
neither has ever experienced before. But Tate gradually discovers that
below the surface of Wren’s idyllic small-town life, hatred, jealousy,
and greed are festering, threatening their fragile relationship just as
it begins to blossom. Tate realizes that in order to free Wren from an
increasingly desperate fate, he will need to unearth the truth about
her past before time runs out . . . a quest that will make him doubt
whether we can ever believe the stories we tell about ourselves, and
the laws that govern our existence. Love—while transformative—can
sometimes be frightening.
A story about the power of transcendent emotion, Remain asks us all:
Can love set us free not only from our greatest sorrows, but even from
the boundaries of life and death?

It’s been a quiet year for the Thursday Murder Club. Joyce is busy with

with family troubles, and Ibrahim is still providing therapy to his

But when Elizabeth meets a wedding guest who fears for their life, the
thrill of the chase is ignited once again. A villain wants access to an
uncrackable code and will stop at nothing to get it. Plunged back into
their most explosive investigation yet, can the gang solve the puzzle
and a murder in time?
Walter Nash is a mild-mannered, happy and successful businessman with a
loving family. He has never lifted a weight or fired a gun in anger,
and he has no special physical or investigatory skills. The dark world
is not a place he knows – until the FBI comes calling on the very day
of his estranged Vietnam veteran father’s funeral. They tell him that
the company he works for is actually a criminal organization. And they
need his help in a risky endeavour to bring it all down.
In doing so, Nash’s perfect world is destroyed. And in seeking justice
and revenge, Nash must become someone else: a man of violence and
physicality who must find traction and purpose in the same dark world
that invaded and crushed everything near and dear to him. Can Walter
Nash reinvent himself into a weapon of righteousness and justice? The
odds are not with him.
But bet against Walter Nash at your peril . . .
Scotland, 2025. When torrential winter rain causes a landslide on
a motorway, it dislodges more than mud and asphalt – it reveals a
skeleton, concealed when the road was built eleven years prior.

the murky politics of the Scottish independence referendum, had become

vanished. Now he’s reappeared, buried under the motorway.
It’s the perfect cold case for DCI Karen Pirie, chief of Police
Scotland’s Historic Cases Unit. What was Nimmo investigating that was
worth killing over? Or was it revenge for murdering his girlfriend?
Meanwhile, an allegation of murder has surfaced over the supposedly
accidental death of a hotel manager. It may have links to another
accident on a remote Highland road. It’s a series of puzzles that tests
Karen and her team to their limits. And possibly beyond . . .
A darkly propulsive thriller of secrets hidden at the core of a
Scottish Highlands town, Silent Bones reaffirms Val McDermid as a crime

You Are Because of Who God Is, the former Miss Universe and Miss South

faith and trust in God and help you find confidence in what truly

resilient faith. With Demi's guidance, you'll cultivate unbreakable
confidence in God's love and His plan for your life. "Blessed is the

se stoetplaas verdwyn het?
