I work in the produce industry and I have found this book useful for the many raw materials I work with. It is not a technical manual and does not incude sufficient information about seasonality to be the ultimate but has proven useful with new items on more than one occassion. Good pocket guide. >>More Details |

This book is attractively laid out and illustrated, but it is written for the American market and it shows. Quantities are given is US-style cup and spoon measures, with an alternative in millilitres, even for dry weights. Whilst this could be overcome by UK users, the fact that some ingredients are not available to UK users would be more difficult. For example, a variety of apple is specified for one recipe that I had not heard of at all, and no alternative was given.

Every vegetable is available in a number of different varieties. But which varieties to choose? In the case of most veg, choosing is fairly simple and is fun; it usually takes a couple of evenings going through the seed catalogues when preparing next season's seed order. But potatoes are special. Knowing - really knowing - about the different varieties available, along with their strengths and weaknesses, is necessary, fascinating, fun, rewarding and strangely addictive. And of course this reseach really pays off come harvest time. The best way to learn about potatoes - the varieties available, their characteristics, the difference between 1st earlies, 2nd earlies, maincrop, the growing techniques, etc. - is to read this invaluable book. ...

This book on the face of it has some very nice practical pictures and illustrations. However, this is not one useful for the novice.
Flicking through it, I have already found an inexcusable error. It states that Winter squashes can only be stored for up to three weeks. Okay so this is a typo and they probably mean three months, however, three months is still wrong. I have half a dozen winter squashes I grew myself 6 months ago waiting healthilly and patiently to be devoured in the dining room. Some winter squashes are even storable for up to a year in ideal conditions (without the use of a freezer). See winter squash 'nice long' in the Organic Gardening Catalogue, highly recommended for both organic and non-organic gardeners. ... Read More: >>More Details |

Natsuki Takaya hit manga gold with "Fruits Basket," a romantic/comic/fantasy story about one cursed family, and a girl who might be able to set them all free.
And this boxed set combines the first four volumes of the series, which also introduces many of the important characters -- not to mention the romantic comedy/dark angsty note of it all. The first volume is a bit wobbly, but this quirky, warmhearted little series gets its footing soon. Orphaned Tohru Honda is living in a tent in the woods. But one day she bumps into the large house of school idol Yuki Sohma, and his older cousin Shigure -- and after a landslide buries her tent and most of her belongings, they take Tohru in as a housekeeper/cook. But when the volatile ... Read More: >>More Details |

This is a novel for all those wondering why they restrict their reading to British and American fiction, or, in my case, mainly just British. I'd decided to read, and compare for myself, all last year's Booker shortlisted novels, and found this one impressively original. The story is of the torments of an ordinary South African family, set against the macrocosmic torments of a country in seismic political upheaval with the apartheid era moving into its death-throes. The Alis' fragile family life [and NOT, as the back-cover itself states, "the Ali's fragile family life"...; perhaps time somebody at Atlantic Books had a look at Lynne Truss?] is thus an illustration of a country and a civilisation in transition as the present struggles to accommodate ...
