Food & Drink
We have tried to bring you, in
our Food and Drink category, an eclectic mix of cookery books
for food lovers, enthusiastic cooks and those who simply want
to get back to food basics.
The perennial problem of what to feed our kids is given a
helping hand with advice on organic meals for babies and
toddlers. Great ideas for encouraging them to cook for
themselves are included, too.
The myths and mystery of cooking game, such as venison,
grouse, partridge and quail is clearly revealed, in the light
of its increasing popularity as a healthy alternative to red
meat.

You will find, also, special regional recipes for ethnic
cooking, traditional English and American cooking and food to
combat the symptoms of the menopause. |
Gardening
We all value our outside space, and
for those of us who are lucky enough to possess a garden, even
a tiny one, there's the opportunity to turn it into something
quite special. Even a roof garden has endless possibilities.
Our selection of gardening books has something to suit all
tastes, from minimalist gardens to ones with a Japanese theme.
If you would like to learn how to grow an organic vegetable
garden, or cultivate an orchard, we have a choice of titles to
start you off.

There's lots of advice on planting, too, from growing
beautiful dahlias and roses to the special needs of a seaside
garden. Or what about a Mediterranean style garden, to cope
with our warmer summers and drier conditions?
Features like garden lighting can transform a daytime play
area for the kids into an inviting, adult space for relaxing
and entertaining. Introducing water, either in the form of a
fountain or perhaps a pond to encourage wildlife will add an
extra dimension to your garden.
Be creative in your garden! |
