Chriskitch: Big Flavours from a Small Kitchen Chris Honor & Laura Washburn

Australian-born chef Chris Honor has been hailed by Giles Coren of The Times as ‘a nailed-on culinary genius’, running ‘the most rewarding small local restaurant I have encountered in years’. His recipes for great salads, sweet and savoury bakes, soups and wonderful sharing plates are highly original but really simple to create at home and with American-born food writer Laura Washburn he shares 100 of his most memorable recipes. Chris writes, ‘What this book will offer the reader is an education in balancing taste and texture, with plenty of visual inspiration. It is as much guidebook as cookery book because I don’t necessarily think in terms of recipes, I think in terms of combinations. Mix up the flavours and textures and, at the same time, make it appeal to the eye. Be generous, make it unpredictable; this is what I do.’

During his diverse career Chris has worked with a range of world-class chefs, including Gordon Ramsay, David Nicolas, Chris Janson and Henry Brosi. His new venture, Chriskitch, based in Muswell Hill, north London uses his Australian upbringing, classical French training and world-wide experiences to create fantastically flavourful food that has customers queuing round the block.

‘You know this food, this shameless, sensory largesse, will make you feel very good about yourself.’ Jay Rayner, The Observer

South-East Asian food is more popular than ever before but what exactly are all those items in the Asian aisle of the supermarket? Award-winning food blogger Lizzie Mabbott takes the mystery out of authentic ingredients – from noodles and tofu to pickles and preserves, explaining what they are and how to use them. She then provides all the recipes you need to create your own South-East Asian meals at home, including Caramel Pork Belly, Sichuan Wontons, DIY Kimchi, Salted Egg Butter Prawns and Black Sesame Ice Cream with Sesame Honeycomb Brittle.

‘I’ve been writing about food for years, but even I find the dizzying selection in Asian supermarkets bewildering. How to differentiate between the different sorts of tofu? When to use ho-fun or udon? How to tell your gai lan from your choi sum? What the heck is gochujang? And why did nobody tell me that belachan, terasi, mam tan and kapee are all the same thing? Lizzie Mabbott’s mission to demystify these intimidating emporia and talk you through using their wares in a series of delicious, accessible recipes is inspired. And she does it with wit, clarity and humour.’ – Marina O’Loughlin, The Guardian

Today, with fourth partner Xavier Padovani, the group has award-winning cocktail bars in Paris, London, New York and Ibiza, all with a well-earned reputation for glamour and style.

More Time to Think The power of independent thinking

Nancy Kline

The quality of everything we do depends on the quality of the thinking we do first. The leaders, professionals, parents and teachers who understand this are at the top of their fields and inspire some of the finest independent thinking in their environments.

In this follow-up to the international bestseller Time to Think, Nancy Kline shares ten effective ways to help people think for themselves with rigour, imagination, courage and grace. From learning that the mind works best in the presence of a question (so never be afraid to risk being wrong) and that a key factor in the quality of a person’s thinking is how they are treated by the people with them while they are thinking, to the importance of appreciation and of facing what you have been denying, Nancy Kline shows how to create a successful Thinking Environment.

‘Do not be fooled by the simplicity of this process. It will unleash the power of your whole organization.’ – British Telecom

‘This process is not just a set of techniques. It’s a way of being in the world.’ – Shirley Edwards, Xerox Corporation

‘As we make sense of change in the 21st century, a deep understanding of the Thinking Environment should be part of every leadership development programme. It intrinsically values the contribution and humanity of each person, and drives team effectiveness. Its power is evident in higher quality relationships, as well as in shorter, smarter meetings. Bravo!’ – Rosemary Grant, Statutory Director, Johnson & Johnson Medical

Praise for Living with Time to Think:

‘A beautiful book. Every page is a gift. Its compassionate wisdom illuminates your life and invites you to greater intimacy with your best and truest self. Nancy Kline writes to her god-daughters, and in so doing, offers timeless wisdom for us all.’ – Mark Williams, bestselling co-author of Mindfulness

Nordicana 100 icons of Scandi style & Nordic cool

You’ve watched every Scandi TV series going and you love the breathtakingly stylish and practical interior design that epitomizes the northern countries. It’s fair to say that, over the last decade, the Nordic nations have quietly and unassumingly come to hold us in their thrall.

Accompanied by beautiful illustrations and photographs, this is a celebration of Nordic objects, aesthetics and traditions.

Conran on ColourTerence Conran

Colour is one of the single most powerful elements in design and decoration, yet handling colour effectively takes both confidence and a degree of expertise.

In Conran on Colour Terence Conran shares a lifetime of experience as one of the world’s leading designers, retailers and restaurateurs to explain how to make the most of this vibrant and dynamic ingredient. With reference to a wide range of sources, from nature and fashion to street markets and works of art, he reveals how to translate these examples into practical strategies for bringing colour into your home.

Packed with fascinating detail, sound advice and a wealth of inspiration, the book is illustrated with engaging contemporary interiors from around the world – homes that display a fresh blend of thoughtful design and individual character. As these interiors reveal, using colour successfully is as much about well-judged accents and focal points as it is in the choice of wall colour or floor covering.

Have you ever grown a batch of lovingly nurtured tomatoes only to be disappointed by the flavour when you harvest them? Bestselling gardening writer, botanist and popular TV presenter James Wong is convinced that the problem lies with current gardening practices which create bumper harvests at the direct expense of flavour.

Simply by growing the best-flavoured varieties (which supermarkets will never be able to sell) and treating them just a bit meaner, you will not only get harvests with an intense flavour but also slash the work involved. Combining cutting-edge science with overlooked traditional techniques, this ground-breaking book lays out a series of deceptively simple tips and tricks to measurably increase the flavour of grow-your-own favourites like sweetcorn, strawberries and tomatoes, at the same time revealing exciting new foodie crops you never knew you could grow. James also provides 40 really simple recipes for delicious ways to eat what you’ve grown.

With James Wong’s RHS Grow for Flavour you can halve your labour, double your harvest and be rewarded with flavour that simply cannot be bought.

Minecraft – a humble computer game about placing blocks – is today a global phenomenon that has captured imaginations around the world. The multi-award-winning game has sold more than 50 million copies. And it has done so without state-of-the-art graphics and celebrity casts.

The game’s allure is the infinite possibilities it offers its players. Block City showcases the towering heights of this creative freedom, featuring incredible cityscapes from master builders that have been years in the making.

Yazur Strovoz is Canadian and lives in Montreal. Yazur has loved drawing and building cities ever since he was a kid. He started building LEGO cities at the age of six and pursued this for four years, until his friend introduced him to Minecraft. His greatest achievement to date is Lapiz City Point, one of the most realistic and detailed cities on Minecraft. The cities boast 1,000 realistic buildings, a tramway train system, a subway train system, and functional roads.
