The German fairytale 'Hansel and Gretel', in which the children discover a house made entirely of gingerbread, sweets and cake, inspired the trend for making beautiful constructions based on gingerbread. Today, we associate gingerbread with Christmas but there are many other times of year when it makes a fabulous decorative treat. This lovely collection of projects includes a wide range of gingerbread treats. Simple stamped or cut-out gingerbread shapes are strung up as garlands or used to decorate a scene.There are three-dimensional gingerbreads, such as layered trees, a Christmas Eve fireplace, and a festive Santa sleigh. There are of course houses, from grand chalets to sweet-festooned cottages, and simple log cabins. The last chapter contains ginger treats such as ginger biscuits, ginger cupcakes and a large ginger bundt. Clear step-by-step instructions and pictures, templates, and foolproof basic gingerbread recipes (golden, dark and lebkuchen) with cook's charts all help ensure gingerbread success.

The slow cooker is the ultimate one-pot, hands-off way to make everyday delicious.

Whatever the time of year, there is nothing more satisfying than knowing mealtimes are sorted. From pot to table, cooking in the slow cooker is minimal effort for maximum flavour with all ingredients thrown together in one pot and cooked low and slow..

Eating more vegetables all year round has never been so easy. From light and bright Thai Green Curry to fresh and fragrant Stuffed Aubergines to comforting and earthy Miso Ramen to warming and hearty Mac and Cheese with Butternut Squash, there is a slow cooker recipe inside for anyone who wants to eat vegetarian and vegan meals that fit around their busy lives.

Vegan eating isn't a new cookbook trend, but this book is different, aimed directly at children and teens, who are often more committed to changing the world by their actions. Although there are vegan cookbooks by tattooed tough guys, beautiful health-bunnies, nutritional gurus and eco warriors, few address the problem that most kids don't like to eat their kind of food. Eating interesting and healthy vegan food is easier for adults, with time to prepare and more-sophisticated tastebuds that relish the fusion of spices and flavours (and vegetables). Feeding kids is often a challenge, and veganism adds an extra twist. Many children and teenagers are making this dietary choice, but still demand food that they like to eat. For the cook, the need is for dishes that are feasible to put together, day in day out, and yet fulfil requirements for health and nutrition. This book makes it possible: yummy, accessible food that has kid-appeal, is healthy, and not too time-consuming either. These are recipes for the dishes that we know kids want to eat, vegan or not. Some might not like pasta with wet (or dry) sauce, some may object to relishes on their burgers, or too-spicy stir-fries, or just to roasted veg – but we guarantee there will be something here they like: tikka-style tofu wrap; spag veganese; ‘no-fish’ and chips; sticky tofu noodles; chocolate cake; it’s-not-cheesecake. Eating a balanced diet is important for all of us, not just for children and teenagers (and students), and now is the best time to enjoy cooking up some healthy, delicious recipes with everyday appeal. Happy vegan eating!
