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 …
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.
Eben Etzebeth is the most-capped player in South African rugby history.

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.
'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.

A thrilling and long-awaited new novel from globally bestselling author
Dan Brown
Accompanying celebrated academic, Katherine Solomon, to a lecture she’s
been invited to give in Prague, Robert Langdon’s world spirals out of
control when she disappears without trace from their hotel room. Far
from home and well out of his comfort zone, Langdon must pit his wits
against forces unknown to recover the woman he loves.
But Prague is an old and dangerous city, steeped in folklore and
mystery. For over two thousand years, the tides of history have washed
back and forth over it, leaving behind echoes of everything that has
gone before. Little can Langdon know that he is being stalked by a
spectre from that dark past. He must use all of his arcane knowledge to
decipher the world around him before he too is consumed by the rings of
treachery and deception that have swallowed Katherine.
Against a backdrop of vast castles, towering churches, graveyards
buried twelve deep and labyrinthine underground passages, Langdon must
navigate a shadow city hiding in plain sight, a city which has
successfully kept its secrets for centuries and will not readily
deliver them. This is a battlefield unlike any he has previously
experienced, one on which he must fight not for his only life, but for
the future of humanity itself.
The Secret Of Secrets is Dan Brown’s first novel for over eight years
and sees the stunning return of Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon,
this time pitting his wits against a conspiracy which will test even
his considerable brainpower and take him to the edge of losing all that
he holds dear…
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.
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.
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 . . .

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.
Sorcha O’Donovan dreams of an exciting life beyond the West Cork
coastline where she has grown up. When she encounters the town’s
strikingly handsome outcast, struggling musician Con Daly, her days
will never be the same.
When Con strikes gold with rock band The Fishermen in London, he and
Sorcha look set for a rosy future. But their lives change beyond
recognition as the dark side of fame rears its head. Death threats
follow Con around, and devastating secrets from the past threaten to
destroy everything he has worked for.
Twenty years later, The Fishermen agree to re-form for the massive
Music for Life charity concert at Wembley Stadium. But Con Daly,
heartthrob and spokesman for a generation, has been missing for over a
decade.
There’s only one person who can find out what happened, who has access
to the lives, loves and careers of all concerned as The Fishermen rose
to worldwide fame. Only one person who knows how vital it is to uncover
the truth, because should Con Daly reappear before the facts emerge,
then history could repeat itself with even more tragic consequences.
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?
Jack Reacher will make three stops today. Not all of them were planned
for.
First – a Baltimore coffee shop. A seat in the corner, facing the door.
Black coffee, two refills, no messing about. A minor interruption from
two of the customers, but nothing he can’t deal with. As he leaves, a
young guy brushes against him in the doorway. Instinctively Reacher
checks his pocket. There's no problem. Nothing is missing.
Second – a store to buy a coat. Nothing fancy. Something he can ditch
when he heads to warmer climes. Large enough to fit a man the size of a
bank vault. As he pulls out his cash, he finds something new in his
pocket. A handwritten note. A desperate plea for help.
Third – wherever this bend in the road takes him. Impressed by the
guy's technique and intrigued by the message, Reacher makes it his
mission to find out more . . .
A dead husband. A missing wife. Will they find her in time?
Romy Kaplan has vanished from her home.
Or has she?
When Romy begins posting on her social media accounts asking everyone
to stop looking for her, the police are certain she is safe. But Romy's
nearest and dearest are far from convinced.
Her husband died in the bath under inconclusive circumstances six weeks
ago. And Romy would never disappear without telling someone where she
is going.
As true crime podcast host, Cristy Ward, picks up Romy's case… she has
the whole world asking…
Where is Romy now?
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.
Sam Nimmo, an investigative journalist who’d been poking his nose into
the murky politics of the Scottish independence referendum, had become
the prime suspect in the brutal murder of his girlfriend when he
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
writer of inimitable power.

This book tells the story of how Julius Malema used his growing
political clout to bankroll his party and amass a
personal fortune. It reveals astounding new details about Malema’s
old, seemingly forgotten scandals in Limpopo and how loot
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.
Academy Award-winning actor Sir Anthony Hopkins delves into his
illustrious film and theatre career, difficult childhood and path to
sobriety in his honest, moving and long-awaited memoir.
Born and raised in Port Talbot – a small Welsh steelworks town – amid
war and depression, Sir Anthony Hopkins grew up around men who were
tough, to say the least, and eschewed all forms of emotional
vulnerability in favor of alcoholism and brutality. A struggling
student in school, he was deemed by his peers, his parents and other
adults as a failure with no future ahead of him. But, on a fateful
Saturday night, the disregarded Welsh boy watched the 1948 adaptation
of Hamlet, sparking a passion for acting that would lead him on a path
that no one could have predicted.
With candour and a voice that is both arresting and vulnerable, Sir
Anthony recounts his various career milestones and provides a
once-in-a-lifetime look into the brilliance behind some of his most
iconic roles. His performance as Iago gets him admitted into the
prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and places him under the wing
of Laurence Olivier. He meets Richard Burton by chance as a young boy
in his art teacher’s apartment, and later, backstage before a
performance of Equus as an established actor meeting his hero. His
iconic portrayal of Hannibal Lecter was informed by the creepy
performance of Bela Lugosi in Dracula and the razor-sharp precision of
his acting teacher. He pulls raw emotion from the stoicism of his
father and grandfather for an unforgettable performance in King Lear.
Sir Anthony also takes a deeply honest look at the low points in his
personal life. His addiction cost him his first marriage, his
relationship with his only child, and nearly his life – the latter
ultimately propelling him toward sobriety, a commitment he has
maintained for nearly half a century. He constantly battles against the
desire to move through life alone and avoid connection for fear of
getting hurt – much like the men in his family – and as the years go
by, he deals with questions of mortality, getting ready to discover
what his father called The Big Secret.
Featuring a special collection of personal photographs throughout, We
Did OK, Kid is a raw and passionate memoir from a complex, iconic man
who has inspired audiences with remarkable performances for over sixty
years.
In her first non-fiction book in a decade, the no. 1 bestselling writer
who taught millions of readers to live authentically (Eat Pray Love)
and creatively (Big Magic) shows how to break free.
In 2000, Elizabeth Gilbert met Rayya. They became friends, then best
friends, then inseparable. When tragedy entered their lives, the truth
was finally laid bare: the two were in love. They were also a pair of
addicts, on a collision course toward catastrophe.
What if your most beautiful love story turned into your biggest
nightmare? What if the dear friend who taught you so much about your
self-destructive tendencies became the unstable partner with whom you
disastrously reenacted every one of them? And what if your most
devastating heartbreak opened a pathway to your greatest awakening?
All the Way to the River is a landmark memoir that will resonate with
anyone who has ever been captive to love - or to any other passion,
substance or craving - and who yearns, at long last, for liberation.
As a highly sought-after portrait artist, Devon Darcy seems to have the
ability to peer into the souls of her subjects and then capture them on
canvas. The world doesn’t know about the devastating losses she has
endured, first as an orphan, then as a far-too-young widow.
Entrepreneur Charles Mackenzie Taylor has given up on love, resigning
himself to a loveless marriage to avoid the inconvenience of divorce.
But, when Charlie meets Devon at a New York gallery event, he is
haunted by her beauty and her talent. He approaches her to paint his
portrait and she in turn is intrigued by Charlie, the electricity
between them palpable.
As they encounter each other over the course of a summer in the
Hamptons, their connection deepens as they each release years of
pent-up emotions and unfulfilled longing. But the ghosts of their pasts
are not easily put to rest. Charlie wrestles with his fear of real
intimacy, while Devon struggles with her fear of abandonment. And after
an accident endangers Devon’s career, they must decide together what
their future will hold . . .

It’s been three months since demigod boyfriends Nico di Angelo and Will
Solace returned from Tartarus, and there hasn’t been a single quest for
them in all that time. So, when Nico’s half sister Hazel asks them to
come to Camp Jupiter to help with an ‘issue’, Nico shadow-jumps at the
chance to do something.
What Hazel didn’t tell the boys is that she’s providing a haven for a
group of monsters who’ve escaped the Underworld! Apparently, during
Nico and Will’s trip to the Underworld, they showed the monsters that
they don’t have to be evil – that the monsters have options.
But then the monsters start disappearing from the camp and it’s clear a
dark force is at work – and Nico, Will and Hazel are shocked to find
that they’re connected to it . . .
