Part-Time Baker is for those who who see baking as a stress-relief rather than a stress in itself. It’s a recipe book for those who find they lack the time, energy, resources or skill for full-scale baking, but still want to create something with love.  Baking is great for self-care and sharing with others; but it’s also about finding balance so you don’t have to spend hours in the kitchen and have more time to enjoy other things in life. Forget major wait times for rises, proves, chilling, setting or anything else complex. Each recipe is clearly labelled with ‘Hands on time’ and ‘Total time’ – to make it crystal clear just how much effort you’ll need to put in. You won’t need a plethora of obscure baking equipment. And all the recipes can be scaled up for sharing or down for solo cooking – food is self-care and shouldn’t be forgotten just because you live alone!  Part-time Baker celebrates baking as part of a well-balanced life with over 80 recipes for every occasion, morning noon and late-night snack.

Women Don't Owe You Pretty will tell you to... love sex, hate sexism, protect your goddamn energy, life is short, dump them, and that you owe men nothing, least of all pretty. Florence's debut book will explore all progressive corners of the feminist conversation; from insecurity projection and refusing to find comfort in other women's flaws, to deciding whether to date or dump them, all the way through to unpacking the male gaze and how it shapes our identity. Women Don't Owe You Pretty is an accessible leap into feminism, for people at all stages of their journey who are seeking to reshape and transform the way they view themselves. In a world that tells women we're either not enough or too much, it's time we stop directing our anger and insecurities onto ourselves, and start fighting back to reshape the toxic structures of our patriarchal society. Florence's book will help you to tackle and challenge the limiting narrative you have been bombarded with your whole life, and determine feminism on your own terms.

Drop the record needle on any vinyl album in your collection, then read the first pages of that novel you've been meaning to pick up-the reverberations between them will be impossible to miss. Since Dylan went electric, listening to rock 'n' roll has often been a surprisingly literary experience, and contemporary literature is curiously attuned to the history and beat of popular music. In The Ink in the Grooves, Florence Dore brings together a remarkable array of acclaimed novelists, musicians, and music writers to explore the provocatively creative relationship between musical and literary inspiration: the vitality that writers draw from a three-minute blast of guitars and the poetic insights that musicians find in literary works from Shakespeare to Southern Gothic. Together, the essays and interviews in The Ink in the Grooves provide a backstage pass to the creative processes behind some of the most exciting and influential albums and novels of our time. Contributors: Laura Cantrell, Michael Chabon, Roddy Doyle, Bob Dylan, Steve Earle, William Ferris, Dom Flemons, Rhiannon Giddens, Dave Grohl, Peter Guralnick, Amy Helm, Randall Kenan, Jonathan Lethem, Greil Marcus, Rick Moody, Lorrie Moore, the John Prine band (Dave Jacques, Fats Kaplin, Pat McLaughlin, Jason Wilber), Dana Spiotta, John Jeremiah Sullivan, Richard Thompson, Scott Timberg, Daniel Wallace, Colson Whitehead, Lucinda Williams, Warren Zanes. -- Cornell University Press
