A really thorough review of the best practices behind water-based screenprinting, including detailed breakdowns of complex multi-layer registrations.
The book leans a little heavily on the promotion of Lascaux products for my liking, but is a really inspiring read nonetheless - recommended!

I am vegetarian (but not a great cook and in need of some more recipes) and my husband is Turkish (missing the cuisine but does not know or remember how to cook the dishes) so this book must be perfect for us - or so I thought! In fact the first third of the book consists of extracts from the author's travel journal around Turkey setting the scene for the recipes in the remaining two thirds. Although no dates are given as to when these adventures took place, I found them interestingly written with an easy flow. However, my reason for buying this book was actually for the recipes. I know that Turkish cooking is not particularly vegetarian but I was extremely disappointed to find that all of the main course recipes are meat dishes with a ... Read More:

I first learned of Laurel's Kitchen in the mid-1970s when my parents gave my sister Laurel a copy for Christmas. Being an artist, I really admired the woodcut illustrations. However, I didn't start to use the book religiously until 1978, when I and all my grad-school friends decided to pursue a vegetarian life style. My copy, which I bought at the food coop where I volunteered is now in pieces, but I still use it regularly. I can count on the book to contain information about vegetables I'm not familiar with, and how best to prepare them, plus providing clear instructions for making such things as yogurt and sushi nori. Though no longer a strict vegetarian, having a husband and two children who like meat far too much to give it up ... Read More:

I have been using this cookbook for the better part of a decade. The authors are truly committed to baking with nothing but whole grains, but what's interesting to me is how healthy much of this bread is in terms of the latest research into the glycaemic index. Many of the recipes incorporate whole grains as well as flour, or beans, or nuts and fruit -- all of which will lower the GI of the bread (as does using stoneground wholewheat flour). The book is therefore a great basis for a healthy diet based around delicious bread.

This is an interesting book, but if you have the 1993 edition, don't bother to buy this. It appears to be, word for word, a reprint of that edition. I thought that it might be updated - or that the travel parts of it might contain modern descriptions alongside the original. But no, it seems to be just a reprint.
