I loved this book and couldn't wait to get into bed each night to read a few more tales (yes, very sad, but there you go). It was like being with good friends, all telling our stories over a glass or two of wine, and I felt better after each story, knowing that I am not the only one who goes through life feeling like the Fat Girl (whether I am currently size 10 or size 16). I kept thinking "yes!!! that is exactly what it is like to be Fat", but the nice thing was being able to laugh with the women too. However, the stories also made me think hard about why my waistline goes in and out with the regularity of the tides. This was a comforting book, and I will certainly read it again - and keep it by my bed when I need something to inspire me ... Read More:

This book was on my reading list for my graphic design degree. I read it in the week leading up to my course, found it hilarious, exciting, and as I found out one year later...TRUE TO LIFE!
I wish I had believed this book to be a true representation to what I would go through, because it was!
Apart from the above, I'd recommend it to anyone, bored or with no spare time, as you WILL find time for this Jem!

A complete and interesting compendium of recipes and smoke cooking methods. The advanced smoke cooker will enjoy this book and find some new ideas within. The section on sausages and pemican, two of the advanced smoke cooking skills, are expecially helpful. The beginer may be disapointed in the results of applying the recipes due to one major oversight.
The heart and soul of good smoked food is the cure. Smoke goes on the food last. This book although mentioning cures of many types fails to make this point clear and to provide the first time smoke cook with a simple first time recipe. In fact, the cure recipes provided do not have anywhere near enough sugar in them. Having smoked foods for 20 years I have found that the ... Read More:

Set in the early 1930s, Cheese is the story of Frans Laarmans' sudden foray into the cheese import business courtesy of a enigmatic, wealthy mentor Mr van Schoonbeke. Simply written as Laarmans' account, it is a moving fable of the perils of idolising the wealth and status of others.
Laarmans, a shipping clerk, takes up the sudden opportunity following the death of his mother, to import Edam cheese to Belgium and the Grand Duchy. However, as a shipping clerk, he has absolutely no experience of business, no help and plenty of people (family and new wealthy friends) observing his progress. He doesn't even like cheese and the comic potential is all too evident, but at times Laarmans' naivity and inexperience is so toe-curlingly painful that ... Read More:
