Websites like recyclingnearyou.com.au in Australia, recycle.co.nz in New Zealand, earth911.com in the USA and recyclenow.com in the UK have information on items that can be recycled but not accepted through your local rubbish collection, like mattresses or light globes.

#93

In the UK alone, more than 4000 tonnes of aluminium foil is discarded during Christmas festivities. If foil can’t be reused, rinse it and roll it into a ball the size of your fist so it can be recycled. Or do without.

#94

Avoid ‘wish-cycling’ or putting something into the recycling bin, hoping for the best. If we get our recycling wrong or do it through incorrect collection points, we are potentially damaging the recycling process for others who do take the time to do it correctly.

R E C YC L A B L E S

Become a smart recycler! Each council, state and country recycles differently. The best place to learn what are the correct items to place into your kerb recycling is your local council’s website or from whoever manages your recycling.

Lip balm #145

Exfoliate with ingredients from your kitchen that also act as a face mask. Explore online how to use sugar, oatmeal, honey, apple cider vinegar, lemon, ground coffee and even papaya in beauty products.

Ingredients 2 tablespoons beeswax 6 tablespoons olive oil

How to put it together 1. Fill a saucepan with water and place a glass bowl on top as a double boiler, bringing the heat of the stove to medium. 2. Put the beeswax and olive oil into the glass bowl and stir until the beeswax has melted and both have combined. Pour into a container or old lip balm tin and leave to cool before using.

R E C YC L A B L E S

Balance the natural pH of your skin with apple cider vinegar diluted with water as a simple homemade toner.

Etsy, local markets, health-food stores and bulk stores stock ready-made zero-waste beauty products and ingredients for making your own.

#181

Wrap gifts with cloth bags, secondhand scarves, tea (dish) towels or leftover fabric from sewing. Look up furoshiki, a Japanese style of wrapping using cloth. Not only does it look cool, the reusable cloth wrapping will be a conversation starter on using less paper.

Vintage magazines (from charity stores), newspaper, atlas pages, old street directories and even childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artwork make great wrapping instead of buying new rolls of wrapping paper for each celebration.

Try making your own decorative patterns with stamps made from potatoes and experimenting with homemade inks from vegetables and fruit like beetroot (beets) for a fun craft project.

Consider changing your email signature to include a message about your low-waste goals and a tip on how to refuse, reduce and reuse.

Encourage double-sided printing; this will help an office save on money, printer ink and paper.

Audit the stationery cupboard at the office before automatically buying new stationery. You might find there are already staplers, pens and folders ready to be used.

Look for secondhand folders or choose new ones made only of cardboard rather than with a vinyl covering.

#322

#324 #321

Used and broken pens, pencils and markers can be recycled through TerraCycle. Visit the website for your country to find drop-off locations.

Instead of buying individual stationery, share items like sharpeners, rulers, hole punches and tape dispensers and make sure to swap to paper tape instead of plastic.

Michael Ryan is one of Australia’s most respected chefs. With partner Jeanette Henderson, he is the owner of Provenance Restaurant in Beechworth, North East Victoria. After initially studying science at the University of Adelaide and working in chemistry for several years, Michael was drawn to cooking. He opened his first restaurant with Jeanette, Range, in 2006. Range won a succession of two hat awards in The Age Good Food Guide, as well as Country Restaurant of the Year in 2008. Provenance opened in early 2009 and has since gone on to receive two hats every year since. In 2013, Provenance won Best Regional Restaurant and Michael Ryan was named Chef of the Year. Michael has a long-term interest in Japanese cuisine, and this is reflected in the techniques and flavours used in the Provenance menus. He also hosts small group guided tours to Japan each year. Luke Burgess finished his apprenticeship at renowned Sydney restaurant Tetsuya’s before embarking on a career in freelance food and travel photography. In 2006 Luke and his partner moved to Tasmania in search of a culinary adventure and soon after opened Pecora Café, about 45 minutes south of Hobart. A couple of years later, inspired by a stint at Copenhagen’s Noma, Luke and business partners Katrina Birchmeier and Kirk Richardson opened Garagistes in Hobart. In 2011, Luke won Best New Talent in the Gourmet Traveller Restaurant Awards, and Garagistes scored two stars in the Gourmet Traveller Restaurant Guide and was listed in Australia’s top 100 restaurants. Since closing Garagistes in 2015, Luke has cooked in eight different countries, run Sydney’s 10 William St for five months, and started a company consulting to emerging hospitality ventures. His plans for the future include a farm-based business facilitating the division between kitchen and garden, while exploring what can grow in Southern Australia.

Why The best sandwich in Tokyo What to ask for Prosciutto, shiso and yuzu baguette Where 42-2 Kamiyamacho, Shibuya-ku When 8 amâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;5 pm (closed Monday)

Camelback

Camelback is an unlikely shop in a city full of unlikely shops.

et up by Hayato Naruse, an ex–sushi chef, it’s a sandwich shop done with the obsession for detail that the Japanese are renowned for. The country can certainly lay claim to some of the world’s greatest sandwiches – the tonkatsu (crumbed pork) sando found throughout Japan and the ham and egg sandwiches from Lawson stores are prime examples, though they are of a particular style, with fluffy white bread being a main feature. To get a good crusty roll with fresh fillings is a little harder in Japan, but this hole-in-the-wall establishment just off the main thoroughfare of the increasingly cool and urbane Tomigaya/ Kamiyamacho area is one of your better choices. They offer a small number of sandwiches, each carefully crafted and all very good. Their egg sandwich features tamagoyaki, or rolled omelette, which you may be familiar with from sushi restaurants. Their signature sandwich is a ham sandwich, but done through a prism of Japanese ingredients – shiso leaf and freshly grated yuzu rind alongside prosciutto. It almost sounds too simple to work, but the balance is perfect. Naruse-san cures his own lamb ‘bacon’ for another sandwich finished with coriander and dried tomato. This being Japan, the sandwiches aren’t foot-longs, and are all the better for it. They make a perfect mid-afternoon snack, or a light lunch when you know you have a multiple-course dinner ahead (which can be often in Tokyo). The coffee, too, is good enough to come here just for that; it’s on the darker side of the roast spectrum.

Path Who recommended Kullen Ozeki Why Fits all your needs, be it breakfast, lunch or dinner What to ask for Dutch pancakes Address 1-44-2 Tomigaya, Shibuya-ku

Hours 8 amâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;2 pm and 6â&#x20AC;&#x201C;11 pm (closed Monday and occasionally Sunday)

UNU Farmers’ Market The Tokyo farmers’ market scene is not on the level of other major cities, perhaps because Japan never succumbed to mega supermarkets. Supermarkets in Japan are generally smaller, more personal affairs with high-quality meats, fruits and vegetables. But the farmers’ markets that do exist in Tokyo are great, and the one in front of the United Nations University is the best known. As with all great farmers’ markets, the place has an air of celebration about it. If you’re lucky, you might see some of Tokyo’s chefs shopping here. There are usually fifty or so vendors, with a good range of fruits, some amazing varieties of daikon, fresh lettuces and other greens. The market is also the place for small-batch producers of honey, coffee, tea, jams, cakes and muffins. There is even a stall that produces some wonderfully scented sesame oil on-site. You can’t help but wish there was a little less plastic, but this is Japan, the home of over-packaging. If all the produce starts making you hungry, there are also plenty of food vans. The tiny roast meat van is one of the best – literally crammed with various roasted and smoked meats, to the point that it takes you a while to realise there’s also a chef inside. Other great vans are the Japanese omelette van and Japanese curry van. There are coffee and beer vans, too. Why See just how important food is to the people of Tokyo What to ask for Samples – lots of stalls are happy for you to try before you buy Where 5-53-70 Jingumae, Shibuya-ku When 10 am–4 pm weekends

Harritts Donuts Who recommended Kullen Ozeki Why All donuts should be this good What to ask for Sakura donut Where 1-34-2 Uehara, Shibuya-ku

When 9.30 am–6 pm Wednesday–Friday, 11 am–6 pm Saturday, Sunday and public holidays

Harritts Donuts takes the concept of the hidden Tokyo shop to ridiculously obscure levels.

own a small side street is an old Japanese house, seemingly too small to house a cafe and donut factory; slide open the traditional wooden door and enter a cosy space, seating maybe ten people. The tiny venue is a perfect example of how well space is utilised in Tokyo. Harrittsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; selection of donuts includes chocolate, cherry blossom, vanilla, earl grey, pumpkin and more. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like donuts as much as the next person, so when recommended that I go to this shop, I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overly enthusiastic. I was very wrong. The donuts are a little denser and chewier than the more mass-produced varieties, and better for it. Their coffee is very high quality too. This is a great, secluded spot for a little down time in Tokyo, and a lesson on how the Japanese can take a thing and elevate it to perfection. In fact, Harritts do donuts so well, they now have stores in Taipei and Singapore.

Most places in Tokyo provide a challenge to shoot due s to their size, but Haritts take ll the cake, particularly at fu capacity.

Bistro Rojiura Who recommended Masahiro Onishi Why Cool, backstreet Shibuya vibe What to ask for Coffee and French toast Where 11-2 Udagawacho, Shibuya-ku When 8 am–2 pm and 6 pm–midnight (closed Monday and one Sunday each month)

Bistro Rojiura is another great option for those looking for an early meal in a city not renowned for its breakfast.

nd if the place reminds you a little of Path (see page 18), it’s because it is owned by the same (small) restaurant group. A simple equation is in practice at Rojiura – good coffee, relaxing and comfortable decor, great food and informed service. But most of us know that simple doesn’t mean easy. As with Path, there is great attention to detail in all aspects. Again like Path, the venue has two personalities: the breakfast/ brunch service is available until 2 pm, then the more serious dinner option begins at 6 pm. Breakfast is a tight menu – maybe granola with yoghurt, French toast, avocado with scrambled eggs, and a vegetable and lentil curry. The à la carte dinner menu is more extensive and ambitious, featuring carefully sourced meats and vegetables. There is also a set menu available at the ridiculously low price of 5400 yen. The wine list is mainly French small producers, with a bit of a lean towards the natural. Rojiura may not be the true Japanese experience that many travellers to Tokyo are looking for (particularly those new to the city), but is loved by the urbane and international population living there.

Writer and content creator Donna Wheeler has been a regular visitor to Paris for decades and a part-time resident for the last five years. The city has been her base while she spent over ten years on the road for Lonely Planet in Europe, Scandinavia and North Africa, reviewing hotels for The Telegraph (UK), writing on contemporary art and design and working on various magazine projects. Her enchantment with the city began via its starring role in New Wave cinema, and while its 19th-century architectural grace and historic frisson still give her goosebumps on a daily basis, it’s Paris' contemporary art and music scene, its many multicultural quartiers and ever evolving culinary culture that really thrills her.

A PERFECT PARIS DAY As the saying goes, Paris is always a good idea, even when most Parisians are asleep. The city isn’t known for its early risers and grabbing a coffee first thing can prove tricky. So after I drag myself out of bed I’ll go for a quick poke around the Marché d’Aligre, or perhaps a quiet stroll up through Cimetière du Père Lachaise. After, I’ll head to Shakespeare & Co café for a café noisette when they open at 9.30am. Then to Musée Rodin to visit my favourite sculptures and drawings before some contemplation in the gardens. If it’s a day for indulging I’ll settle in for a fourcourse Basque blowout at l’Ami Jean, though in summer, I’ll cross the Seine and it’ll be leeks vinaigrette or carpaccio at Maison Maison by the river-facing windows. A postprandial micro-nap might be needed at this point, so I’ll find a chair at the Jardin du Palais-Royal. I’ll then have a window shop beneath its colonnades, swing past Brigitte Tanaka and along the Faubourg St Honore. Or if I need to pick up a shirt or tee, I’ll head to the Marais’ rue des Francs Bourgeois. I’ll peek at the newest installation at the nearby Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature , then grab a sweet treat at Chambelland up in the 11th. On the way out again in the evening, I’ll swing past the Baron Rouge for a sneaky Muscadet, then Velib up to Canal Saint-Martin and try for a table at neobistro Verre Vole or otherwise head to Déviant for standing room small plates, a Tunisian brik and natural wine. I’ll head back to the Seine, lingering along the Bassin de l’Arsenal before home, but if kicking-on is on the cards, I’ll meet friends for barhopping along the rue du Faubourg Saint-Denis with cocktails at Le Syndicat, before a midnight DJ set at Le Java. If I’m in for a really big night or there’s a band I know playing, I’ll head to Pigalle, where things will quite possibly will go on till dawn (did I mention Parisians aren’t early risers?).

LE PREMIER, 1ST ‘Le Premier’ arrondissement is Paris’ literal and historical heart. Over a quarter of it is taken up by the Jardin des Tuileries, so you’ll undoubtedly find yourself in this one-time garden of Catherine de Medici, a beloved public park since the French Revolution. Meander around its ponds, down broad avenues, past (overpriced) cafes and among the hubbub of its summertime funfair. To one side you’ll find the equally historic and expansive Louvre museum (see p. XXX), as well as the rue di Rivoli, the retail golden mile of rue Saint-Honore and the stately Palais-Royal (see p. XXX). Along with the 8th arrondissement, this is also where most of the city’s famed five-star hotels, such as Le Meurice, the Ritz and newcomer Nolinksi, cluster. Les Halles was, until the 1970s, the city’s legendary food market and its surrounding streets are still fun to explore with round-the-clock diners and restaurant supply shops that once serviced the market traders and customers. The 1st also takes in a small slice of the Seine’s largest island, the Île de la Cité (see p. XXX) and the glorious stone Pont de’ Neuf, spanning the Seine, with its dual arches and bronze and equine statue of King Henri IV. Metro: Louvre – Rivoli, Pyramides, Pont Neuf, Chatelet, Palais-Royal

7 LA PÂTISSERIE DU MEURICE PAR CÉDRIC GROLET 6 rue de Castiglione, 75001 01 44 58 10 10 www.dorchestercollection.com Open Tues–Sun 12pm–6pm (often earlier) Metro Tuileries [MAP p. 185 B2]

So you’ve had a macaron or two in your time, know your way around a Paris-Brest and are oh so familiar with frangipane fillings? Then Cédric Grolet is your pâtissier. The official pastry chef for 5-star Hotel Meurice, and voted the best in the world in 2017, Grolet’s creations were once only available for hotel guests and those taking tea. Now his brass and stone workshop just around the corner welcomes all, and staff toil over tarts, glaze fruit and pipe crème-patissiere in front of your eyes. Grolet’s style rests firmly in French tradition but he uses far less sugar, and he’s fond of riffing on the natural flavours of a key ingredient. His famous trompe-l’oeil apples, a kouglof or tart to share come glamorously packaged and are surprisingly affordable. In-shop photo ops are encouraged – it’s all a joyful celebration of the seasons and the pâtissier’s art. Note: the shop closes once the day’s wares are sold; if you’re after a large tart, order 48 hours in advance. 10

POCKET TIP For gluten-free, try these cafes: Chambelland Boulangerie (11th); Helmut Newcake (9th); Noglu Restaurant & Épicerie (2nd); Wild and the Moon (various locations).

POCKET TIP For specialist roasters and ‘third wave’ cafes head to Honor (1e); Matamata (2nd); Coutume (7th); Lomi (18th).

One of the vanguard figures in Paris’ coffee revolution, Nicolas Clerc is still turning out perfect café noisettes and café crèmes from locally roasted beans on his Marzocco espresso machine daily at Télescope, a firm favourite with the city’s coffee cognoscenti. Nic and his band of bilingual regulars are always up for a chat; ‘I baked the financiers myself … do you think they’re moist enough?’ he may enquire when you come to pay your bill. Delightfully unassuming and friendly, Télescope does however have notable exactitudes – the carefully sourced soughdough bread used in its sandwiches, good croissants; and the deliciously perverse step to declare itself a wifi- and laptop-free zone in an increasingly wired city. If the tables and stools are all taken, grab yours to go, and head to that sublimely pretty, rose-filled Jardin du Palais Royal.

Paris is suddenly full of ‘secret’ bars in basements and self-proclaimed speakeasies, though social media coverage make many seem like just another tourist-clad (overpriced) drinking hole. Where to go when you want a deliciously louche interior, a touch of exclusive frisson and a credible DJ soundtrack? Isadora invites high-heels and eyeliner, but T-shirts will work as well, and there’s no queues and no attitude. The little shopfront place’s 19th-century murals of deep green exotic forests conjure places distant in time and place and the cocktails, spirits and sparklings on offer are all French, all top shelf. There’s also the occasional surprise, from rock star live sets, performance art pop-ups, a burlesque and the odd famous indie actor doing shots at the bar. During Paris Fashion Week in October and February, and the FIAC and ParisPhoto art fairs, call ahead to make sure it’s not closed for private functions.

‘Vintage shopping’ in Paris can often mean a visit to byappointment only dealers who trade in couture or designer pieces that sell for far more than their contemporary counterparts. If you’re looking for down-to-earth prices, Kikiwatch offers the more usual endless racks of preloved pieces experience. While you’re not necessarily going to uncover any charity shop bargains here, you will find a helpfully themed, range of ‘fripes’ (old clothes), all in great condition, to pour over, including a whole section dedicated to striped Breton tees. New stock includes jeans, limited-edition sneakers, sunglasses, accessories and seasonal ranges, like French espridrilles in summer or toasty locally sourced knits in winter. Plus there’s a nicely curated selection of fashion press in the magazine carrousels. Alexandre Voisin and staff are a hoot and happy to help; if you’re a jeans addict, say hi to the bearded Jacques Grosz, who is bonafide Insta-famous and one of Paris’ leading denim experts. 20

POCKET TIP

POCKET TIP The last millinery atelier in central Paris, Anthony Peto (56 rue Tiquetonne) turns out traditional styles with a twist at reasonable prices.

Deamain (3 rue SaintFiacre) is Sézane’s charity shop, selling clothes from previous seasons and samples, open 21st to 31st of each month.

Whether you’re already hooked on the jeans, jumpers and French-girl florals of this affordable, casual online brand or not, Morgane Sézalory’s bricks and mortar flagship – known as l’apartement, and yes it does feel like a light, feminine Parisian home – is a delight. Here you can see, and try on, all the looks you’ve wish-listed, or, if it’s your first encounter, be totally seduced into the Sézane lifestyle. And lifestyle it is, with head-totoe women’s fashion –shoes, bags, scarves and jewellery, plus a growing collection of homewares, not available online. It also stocks books, stationery and other suitcase friendly gifts. If you’re handbag shopping, complimentary hot-stamping of your initials is done daily after noon, and if you’re keen for any particular style (runs are often limited) order online up to two weeks before you’re due in Paris, then pick up at the next door ‘concierge’.

C OV E R

London is one of the world’s grandest cities, rivalling Paris and Rome for iconic buildings and stately architecture, and New York for world-class creativity, fashion and culture. It’s an ever-evolving city, a multicultural melting pot with residents from around the globe speaking more than 300 languages, but it also retains those very loveable English traditions that are as steeped in the city's fabric as a good pot of tea.

A PERFECT LONDON DAY My perfect days in London are many and varied. This is just one. Start central in Covent Garden at Fabrique Artisan Bakery where breakfast comes in the form of flaky cinnamon and cardamom buns. Stroll to Trafalgar Square for an obligatory photo by Nelson’s Column. Meander back through Seven Dials to Covent Garden Market taking a sneak-peek at Super Superficial T-shirts and Tatty Devine jewellery bling along the way. Enjoy the festive atmosphere of the market’s buskers and stalls before navigating your way to Somerset House to check-out the bookshop, exhibitions and architecture. Cross the Waterloo Bridge and enjoy the boats and the views along the River Thames as you go. On the other side, London’s South Bank promenade is a buzzy place where you can marvel at the oak tree avenues, book market, skaters and ice-cream eating crowd before continuing south along the Thames Path to London Eye observation wheel. Decide to ride or save your sky-high sightseeing for later in the day. From here the Thames Clipper ferry (or the 25-minute Thames Path walk) will drop you downriver at the brown-brick Tate Modern, in the former Bankside Power Station. Enjoy contemporary art with the downloadable highlights tour then head to Tate Modern Restaurant, on level 9, for lunch or just enjoy the Thames views. From up here you’ll see the Millennium Footbridge, which is directly aligned with St Paul’s Cathedral. If your legs are still working cross the bridge for a closer look, otherwise continue along the river past Shakespeare’s Globe from where it’s a 10-minute walk to open-air Borough Market, another perfect lunch spot and London’s oldest market with vendors selling fresh produce and European delicacies. If you didn’t do London Eye earlier, catch panoramic views on the 72nd floor (open-air top) of The Shard for sunset. You can tick off most of London’s icons including nearby Tower Bridge and Tower of London. Next stop is Bermondsey High Street’s José Tapas Bar for authentic Spanish and a glass of cava. Alternatively, 40 Maltby Street does natural wine and share plates with a French spin. From here, the craft brewers along Bermondsey Beer Mile are your key to a late night. Alternatively, from The Shard, head back to Soho for dim sum at Bao or Sri Lankan at Hoppers and a West End theatre show. vi

Older Brits speak sentimentally about the old Covent Garden Market and the ‘real Londoner’ stallholders – women with cigarettes stuck to their bottom lip selling flowers, men in big coats breathing out steam as they hauled boxes of broccoli around. Today’s market, which moved here in 1974, does lack some of the barter and bustle of the original (you can only imagine what it would have been like in the 18th century), but the retail hub is still eye-popping and wonderfully London with bunting and Union Jack flags. The neoclassical covered market building, in the middle of the piazza, is made up of two inner courtyards, where opera singers and knife jugglers entertain, while you pop between cafes, shops, eateries and stalls. The Apple Market has crafty bags, jewellery and indie clothes stalls, a contrast to the heritage Central Arcade with its bespoke perfumes and artisan gelato shops. Jubilee market is a kitsch joint selling antiques and tacky souvenirs on alternate days. 2

POCKET TIP High-end international brands surround the market, alongside London Transport Museum, St Paul’s Church and the Royal Opera House.

POCKET TIP In summer, the central courtyard is alive with dancing water fountains, whereas in winter you’ll find an ice-skating rink. Both good fun.

It’s an imposing neoclassical building, sure, but it’s not until you’re in the inner courtyard of the city’s preeminent arts hub and surrounded by four-storey palatial windows, grandiose colonnaded balconies and a flag-topped green dome that you get a sense of how impressive this place is. What’s more, you can just walk straight in off the street – no admission fees, no queues, no fuss. It’s worth a visit for the architectural snoop alone, but this is home to creatives, artists and makers. Navigate around revolving installations, exhibitions, workshops, live music gigs and talks. Spend a leisurely hour in the Rizzoli Bookshop, with its eye-catching hard covers. If time allows sip on a spritzer on the terrace overlooking the Thames or try the zerowaste pre-theatre menu at Skye Gyngell’s restaurant, Spring. The famed Courtauld Gallery, which charges admission, is undergoing a two-year renovation. 3

Independent British stores are hard to come by in one of the worlds’ most expensive retail precincts, so Tatty Devine, owned by two Londoners, is a bit of a find. The white painted shop facade nicely frames a showcase of happy-happy joyjoy jewellery, so frivolous and upbeat in colour and design it makes you skip a little. Choose from gorgeous glittery mirrored rainbow necklaces, a quartet of coloured star earrings, big red lipped brooches and mintgreen Gin backpacks from the classics range. Seasonal lines have natty themes such as London Pride and feminism. For a real treat-to-self have a bespoke necklace made with your name, or your girlfriend’s, sprawled across it.

I love a good ‘T’ and, when rubbed between thumb and index finger, the thick soft quality cotton of Super Superficial T-shirts is reason enough to step into this corner local with a heritage shopfront. As well as ticking the box for comfort, these unisex T-shirts are created by artists and unique to this label. The smart designs could see them sitting comfortably in a co-working space as much as at your local. Choose from two dozen designs, from humorous stylised sketches such as Doggy – a poodle with an eccentric hair-do by Kamwei Fong, to more graphic designs like Jenga – a tower of falling blocks by Toma Vagner. The T-shirts come in black, white and contemporary shades straight from the pantone chart. Sweatshirts and hoodies are also available in the same designs and there is a small selection of sunglasses in the window. The T-shirts are discounted if you buy more than one.

Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was the inspiration behind much of the produce in this colourful blue-shuttered shop in Seven Dials, dedicated to all things chocolate. Its founder, Chantal Coady, has been selling artisan single-origin chocolate since 1983. Such is her dedication, she became the first to receive an OBE (Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) for ‘Services to Chocolate Making’. Proof of her passion is in the produce with a line of chocolate bars dedicated to Dahl’s famed novels such as a scrumptious peach-flavoured white chocolate bar, a la James and the Giant Peach. Coady’s second love, design, is to thank for the exceptional packaging, which turns each little sweettooth offering – be it a bag of jelly beans or drinking chocolate into an exquisite gift. There’s a white-glove selection of single chocolates and truffles, or try artisan chocolate bar flavours such as orange blossom, and Persian lime. 6

POCKET TIP Around the corner at 7 Mercer Street, Stanfords is an iconic travel bookshop and map emporium.

Tracking down Homeslice for a 20-inch, wood-fired pizza has the added bonus of getting you to Neal’s Yard, a leafy sunlit courtyard enclosed by lofty thin terrace houses with bottom-level shops and cafes. It’s a little London surprise that reminds me of something you’d find in Amsterdam. But back to Homeslice. These guys started with a mobile pizza oven serving authentic Italian pizza to festival goers. It was so adored by the munchie crowd that the business moved into Neal’s Yard and have since spawned four other eateries. Nab one of the few first-comefirst served outdoor seats or settle on wooden bench seats indoors and check the blackboard menu for out-there specialties that include a kimchi, porcini cream and basil pizza or a four-cheese, jalapeno salsa and rye crumb pizza. Buy the full 20-inch or go for just a slice and pair it with a craft beer or Aperol Spritz. There’s take-away too.

SOHO With a buzz that’s palpable, Soho is London’s party place, its streets crowded with cool-as-funk eateries and loud bars where patrons spill onto the footpath with merry abandon. All those famous London shopping streets: Oxford, Regent, Carnaby, and squares: Leicester, Trafalgar and Piccadilly Circus, are here. A visit to London wouldn’t be complete without seeing a show – or several so head to The West End theatre district, at its heart is Shaftsbury Avenue (see p. XXX), with its famed theatres and dazzling billboards. You’ll find longstanding classics, iconic musicals and plays, as well as new ones often starring famed film and TV actors. Soho’s pre- and post-theatre dining scene buzzes, and the area is also famously LGBTQI friendly – even the letterboxes are painted in rainbow colours. Chinatown is another string to Soho’s bow. You could dine at on-trend eateries Bao (see p. XXX) or Hoppers (see p. XXX) before seeing a show, then end the evening with a cocktail or two at Opium (see p. XXX), one of Chinatown’s best-kept secrets (until now). So, detour off Oxford and Regent streets, grab a theatre ticket (see p. XXX), and head into Soho’s backstreets.

PLACE VALUE The value of a digit depends on its place in a number. Each place has a value 10 times the place to the right. If we want to count higher than nine, we start a new “tens” column to the left. If we want to count higher than 99, we start a new “hundreds” column to the left, and so on.

You can add numbers with two or more digits together by using column addition. Write the numbers in a column, one below the other. Then add up the numbers in the ones column. If this number is 10 or more, you write the last digit down and add the first digit to the bottom of the tens column. Then add up all the numbers in that column to get a total.

We use addition and subtraction all the time in our everyday lives to calculate amounts. Let’s take a closer look at these simple yet incredibly important calculations. 3

ADDING AND TAKING AWAY Addition is finding a total when you add two or more quantities of things. If you have 3 bananas and 2 apples, then you have 5 (that’s 3 + 2) pieces of fruit in total. Subtraction is finding out what you have left if you remove some things. If you eat 1 of 4 apples, then you only have 3 (that’s 4 – 1) pieces of fruit left.

Humans have been adding and subtracting for thousands of years. But the way we write plus and minus symbols has changed over time. The ancient Egyptians, who lived over 2,000 years ago, had their own symbols (below). The symbols + and – first appeared in a book published in Europe in 1518.

Multiplying and Dividing Now that you know how to add and subtract, let’s take a look at multiplication and division. Multiplication is repeated addition. Division is splitting into equal parts, or sharing equally.

what’s the

Multiplication is really just a quick way to add things up. If you have 5 boxes and they each have 4 chocolate bars in them, then you can calculate the total number of bars by writing 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 20. But it is quicker to write 5 x 4 = 20.

"X"

5 X 4 = 20 what’s the

BIG idea?

DIVISION Division is all about calculating how many parts make up a whole. If you take 10 chocolate bars and you want to share them equally between 5 people, then you divide 10 by 5 to figure out how many bars each person gets: 10 ÷ 5 = 2.

To multiply numbers with more than one digit, write the numbers in columns. Say you wanted to multiply 5 x 178. First, multiply the two right-hand numbers together: 5 x 8 = 40. Put the 0 under the ones column and carry the 4 over to the bottom of the tens column.

178 X 5 89 0 3 4

To divide 578 ÷ 3, write the sum down like this: 3 578 3 goes into 5 once remainder 2, so put a 1 above the 5 and carry the 2 to the tens column. 3 goes into 27 nine times, so put 9 above the 7. 3 goes into 8 twice remainder 2, so put a 2 above the 8 and write remainder 2. So, 578 ÷ 3 = 192 remainder 2.

C I M O R PALIND

N O I T MULTIPLICA A palindrome is a word that reads the same forwards as it does backwards – Hannah, Mum, level and racecar are all good examples. Even sentences can be palindromes. Try “Was it a car or a cat I saw?”

The multiplication symbol, x, is often, but not always, used. Sometimes you see . used instead. So 2 . 3 = 6. And, as we’ll see later in the book, when doing equations or algebra (see p. 70), the x is dropped entirely to avoid confusing it with the letter x. Rather than 2 x x, you just write 2x.

N O I S A C T I I L I O V I P A D N I N D T L U M

Then, 5 x 1 = 5. Add the 3 carried over to make 8. So, 5 x 178 = 890.

WHAT’S GOING ON?

ZERO The idea of zero hasn’t always been around. Numbers started off as a way to count things when ancient peoples traded goods, such as swapping one animal for three bags of grain. People didn’t really need a symbol for zero. Does swapping zero barrels for zero bales of hay make any sense? Not really.

A placeholder

— 10

Over 4,000 years ago, people started using a zero. At first it was a placeholder to tell the difference between numbers. For instance, a zero helps us tell the difference between 74, 704 and 740. We use a zero as a placeholder when there is no other number needed there.

NEED TO KNOW: • Sea level is the term used to describe how high something is compared to the level of the sea. • When you set foot on the shore, you are at 0 m sea level. • If you walk into the ocean, your feet will be below sea level, and when you reach 1 m down, you will be –1 m below sea level. • If you walk onto the land, your feet will be above sea level, and when you reach 1 m up, you will be +1 m above sea level.

INSTRUCTIONS: POSITIVES – Above Sea Level LAND: To keep your treasure safe, you should bury it at least 100 m down. But if you dig down below sea level, you might risk water seeping into your treasure. Send five scouts out to measure the heights of five nearby hills. For each scout, roll the die three times for each hill. Every spot on the die equals +10 m. (To help you calculate this, each time you roll the die, move your counter along the appropriate number of metres on the number line. Write down your results for the five hills). When you add up the three numbers for each hill, are any of the hills more than +100 m tall? No? Then if you try burying your treasure in the hills, your treasure may get waterlogged. Yes? Then choose which hill you’d like to bury your treasure in. NEGATIVES – Below Sea Level WATER: You send out five scouts to see how deep five coves around the island are. Roll the die twice for each cove to figure out how deep each one is. Each spot on the die is 5 m, and the ship needs 30 m of space below the water of a cove so it won’t get stuck. How many coves are deep enough for the loaded ship to dock? (Use the number line to help you). Did you manage to bury your treasure and dock your ship? Try the challenge again and see if you get a different result. 13

Mass matters

NOT FINAL

They take the same time! This is because gravity makes all falling objects accelerate (or speed up) at the same rate. Gravity does pull more on heavier things, but this is cancelled out because something heavy resists movement more than something light. And if you try dropping something light, like paper, what happens? It takes longer to fall because it’s slowed down by the air.

Can you feel the force, engineers? Forces and the energy that powers them affect every engineering project in this book - and there are forces acting on your body right now. Take gravity for example...

FORCE OF GRAVITY

Along with forces, engineers need to harness energy. Energy makes things happen. Let’s take a look...

What we call “weight” is actually the force of gravity pulling on the mass of an object. So if gravity pulls more on heavier objects, they fall faster – right? Let’s find out...

You will need:

Drop the balls to see if you made the correct prediction.

What about if you dropped one of the balls at the same time as the sheet of paper. Will the paper or ball hit the ground first?

✔ A small ball such as a tennis ball or golf ball ✔ A staircase 8

You’re going to drop the big ball and the small ball from the same height at the same time. Before you do, make a prediction as to which one will hit the ground first.

✔ A large ball such a soccer ball or basketball

✔ A piece of paper

Stretch the rubber band three times its length and release it.

Gravity is a force that pulls objects with mass towards each other. Mass is all the matter that makes up something. Objects with a lot of mass – like the Earth – have a stronger gravitational pull than objects with less mass. It’s gravity that makes objects fall down towards Earth and that makes Earth orbit the sun.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Drop a ball and the paper to find out.

✔ A rubber band ✔ A ruler

HOW DOES IT WORK? When you stretch a rubber band, it gains potential energy an energy stored in the band. When you release it, potential energy changes into kinetic (or movement) energy. The further you stretch the band the more energy you store, and the further the rubber band will fly. You can find out more about potential energy on p.32.

WHO WAS GALILEO?

Italian scientist Galileo Galilei (1564–1642) found that objects of different weight fall at the same speed. He also discovered the science behind pendulums – he realised that as a pendulum swings, potential energy turns to kinetic energy as gravity forces the pendulum down. This happens over and over again as the pendulum swings. Galileo was also the first scientist to study the planets through a telescope.

NOT FINAL

On the move

WHO WAS NEWTON?

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The English physicist Sir Isaac Newton (1642–1727) discovered the Laws of Motion. Newton’s First Law of Motion explains that objects only move when a force is applied. They then move in a straight line. The greater the mass of an object, the more inertia it has and the harder it is to move.

Before you start the toy car isn’t going anywhere – an object stays still until a force is applied to it. This principle is called inertia. When you pushed the car forward, you apply a force to it. The force made the car accelerate. Eventually the car stopped due to friction – the rubbing force between its wheels and the floor. Did you notice a big difference when you covered the track with aluminium or cling film or water? On which surface did the car travel the furthest? Why do you think this is?

There are other forces other than gravity and energy that push and pull on objects and inﬂuence how things move. Let’s check them out, engineers. Time to get moving! TRY THIS AT HOME 1

You will need: ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔

A toy car Corrugated cardboard A ruler A tape measure

A rubber band Two 15-cm (6-in) pieces of dowel

✔ Cling film ✔ Water in a spray bottle

Push the two dowels into these holes. Put the rubber band around the dowels. If the dowels are wobbly, add more layers of cardboard.

Put a ruler flat holes between the dowels and ruler place the car in front of the rubber band.

On a flat level floor lay out an area for a track that’s at least 10-12 cm (4-5 ft) long. Set out a tape measure along the edge of the track area. Leave one of the pieces of card as it is, cover the second with aluminum foil and the third with cling film.

9 Record the distance each time. Can you work out the average of three distances on each type of surface? Which surfaces have the highest and lowest averages? Which surfaces require more force to travel on them? 10

Measure half way down the length of the glued together cardboard and mark a spot with a pencil. Then mark 2 spots 1.5 cm (3/4 in) in from the side of the cardboard. They should be 6.5 cm (2 1/2 in) on either side of the centre line. In the two spots cut a hole slightly smaller than the dowels.

Now try spraying water on the tracks and try the experiment again. Write down your results.

Now test the tracks. Pull back the car in the rubber band and let it go. Try each track 3 times, each with different pull-back measurements.

centripetal force

HOW DOES IT WORK? The balls fly out to the side. Your hands create a turning force called torque on the pen. The inertia of the balls resist this force and the balls try to move in a straight line. But when objects move in a circle, another force, known as centripetal force, constantly pulls the objects towards the centre, stopping them flying off in a straight line. This force is produced by the tension in the strings. 11

Bzzzz! electricity!

There’s more to engineering than brute force. To power our machines engineers often use a shocking force we know as electricity. Electricity occurs in the natural world but can be generated to power all sorts of things.

idea

Everything in the world is made up of tiny building blocks called atoms. In the centre of each atom is a nucleus with tiny charged particles called protons and neutrons. Whizzing around the nucleus are other particles called electrons. Electrons are normally stuck in orbit around the nucleus of atoms. However, in some materials they come loose and move from one atom to another. This flow of “free” electrons is what creates electric current.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

STATIC ELECTRICITY Protons in an atom carry a positive electric charge, whereas electrons carry a negative charge. Neutrons have no charge. Inside ordinary atoms there are the same number of protons and electrons so the charges cancel each other out. However, sometimes when objects touch, electrons can hop between them, causing them to build up a positive or negative charge. This is known as a static charge.

Photosynthesis is the way in which a plant makes its own food. A green substance in the leaves called chlorophyll traps energy from sunlight. The cells in the leaves use this energy to turn carbon dioxide (from the air) and water into oxygen and a type of sugar called glucose, which the plant uses as food.

Carefully cover two separate leaves with a piece of cling film. Attach with paperclips.

Repeat this step for each of the coverings – foil, paper, mesh or netting. Do not pinch the leaves or stems.

✔ A healthy houseplant or outside plant with big leaves (and permission to damage a handful of leaves)

Over the next few days, check the covered leaves and make notes of any changes you see.

After 10 days, check and compare your results for each type of covering.

Compare each couple of leaves with the same covering. If there are similar changes you’ll know it’s because of the covering.

PHOTOSYNTHESIS

The roots absorb water and nutrients from the soil. The stem transports water to the leaves. Leaves convert sunlight into energy so the plant can grow. Some flowering plants have brightly coloured petals and sugary nectar that attract insects. Flowers also contain powdery grains called pollen. Insects carry the pollen from one flower to another. If pollen lands on a flower of the same type, it can form a seed and grow into a new plant.

WHO WAS LINNEAUS? Carl Linneaus (1707–1778) was a Swedish botanist – a scientist who studies plants. He came up with the way we order and name different plants and animals.

Scientists know about almost half a million different species (types) of plants and are finding new ones all the time. Plants grow on every continent on Earth (even Antarctica!). They range from trees, grass and ferns to moss and vegetables and they all make their food in the same way.

Amazing Animals

EXTINCTION? Ninety-nine per cent of the species that have lived on Earth are no longer alive. If the last animal of a species dies, we say that the species has become extinct. Scientists think that the rate of extinction could be well over 10,000 species a year. Extinction is a natural process, but human action, such as hunting or destruction of the species’ environments, has caused many species to die out. The flightless dodo bird was famously made extinct through hunting by the year 1662.

wheel The two parts of a wheel and axle are connected so that they always turn together. The rim of the wheel turns faster and further than the axle – so if you turn the wheel, you can apply great force at the axle, but if you turn the axle, you can make the wheel turn much faster.

When you toast bread under a grill or in a toaster, you cause a chemical reaction at the surface of the bread. Chemicals react when you bake bread – the proteins in the yeast give the bread its smell and the yeast “feed” off sugars that add to the browning.

HOW DOES IT WORK? The sun’s rays become trapped in the pizza box and heat it up. The warm rays shine onto the foil and are reflected onto the egg. The clingfilm helps to trap the warm air. The paint or black paper absorbs the heat, keeping the base of the box warm. What happens to the egg? The egg contains particles called molecules (atoms joined together) that are rolled up in tiny ball-like structures. The heat unravels them and reshapes them, turning the egg from liquid to solid as it cooks.

Ancient cooking Some of the first ovens were fire-pits dug in Europe around 29,000 years ago. They were used to cook mammoth meat. The ancient Greeks used front-loading bread ovens over 3,000 years ago. Metal stoves weren’t common until the 1800s.

Allow the mixture to cool, knead it to make it smooth, then shape it into something amazing. Heat the oven to 90°C (200°F) and bake your creation for about an hour. Smaller items can be placed in a microwave for 10 –15 second bursts until they dry.

WARNING! Beware, heat!

Glass can sometimes be blown into shape because of its runny, sticky consistency when hot. It gradually hardens into a firm shape as it loses heat.

Josiah Wedgwood (1730–1795) was a British potter who opened pottery factories and made ornamental ware, some of his most famous being distinctive blue and white pots. He invented the pyrometer, an instrument for measuring the temperature of kilns.

JOURNEY TO NEW BERK Home to Vikings for seven generations, the island of Berk is now crowded, noisy and overrun with dragons! In spite of this, Viking chief Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III couldn’t be happier – Berk is an island where humans and dragons live peacefully side by side.

Fishlegs & Meatlug Hiccup & Toothless An unlikely friendship was formed when Hiccup brought down

But when a ruthless dragon-hunter sets out to capture Hiccup’s dragon, Toothless, the last known Night Fury, and the other dragons of Berk, the Vikings are left with no choice… they must disappear, taking their dragons off the map to a place where they can live in peace. In their search for a legendary Hidden World, the Vikings arrive in a place they call New Berk, a land of sparkling waterfalls, towering peaks and lush valleys – a perfect place for humans and dragons to settle. Read on to discover all about the wildest, most dangerous creatures on Earth, those who tamed them and those who wish to destroy them forever…

TOOTHLESS

HICCUP

ne of the cleverest of all dragon species, Toothless is a feared Night Fury. He is thought to be the last of his kind. Jet-black scales cover his whole body and allow him to fly at night without being seen. This loyal dragon is smart, fast and best friends with Hiccup.

FLY A NIGHT FURY Fly a life-size Toothless and Hiccup around your local park!

Night Fury Facts iccup created a new left tailfin for H Toothless after the dragon’s real one was injured in a crash. Now Toothless can fly again but only with his rider, Hiccup, controlling the tailfin with an ingenious saddle Hiccup invented and built. Toothless’s bravest moment was when he plunged hundreds of metres on his own to save Hiccup from crashing to the ground after the epic battle with the Red Death. Toothless is not actually toothless, but he does have retractable teeth that sometimes make him look that way. Hiccup’s mum, Valka, revealed a row of hidden spikes on Toothless’s back that help him to fly even faster.

Special Species

Toothless has a special ability – echolocation – that is a bit like radar. When his sight is limited, such as in a pitch-black cave, he can emit a sound wave, which bounces off nearby terrain and obstacles, telling Toothless exactly what’s around him.

eet Hiccup, expert Dragon Rider and current chief of Berk. He’s the son of Stoick the Vast and Valka. Hiccup discovered how to train dragons and, as a result, he brought peace between dragons and the Vikings of Berk. Miserable Meeting

Toothless and Hiccup make a terrific team, but they weren’t always on the same side. The pair first met when Hiccup brought down Toothless from the sky with another ingenious invention, the Mangler, during a provisions raid of the Vikings’ village by scores of dragons. Now they share an unbreakable bond.

The Night Fury is the fastest, smartest and rarest of the known dragon species.

WHO IS HE? Ash Ketchum has one dream – to become a Pokémonmaster. He hasn’t managed it yet, but he will never stop trying! Ash is a ten-year-old boy who has travelled through all the different regions, battling gyms and collecting Pokemon. Ash can be brash and arrogant sometimes, but he has a heart of gold.

His best friend is Pikachu, his starter Pokemon, and they go everywhere together.

GREATEST MOMENT

Ash has had too many amazing moments to pick just one. His greatest moment – when he finally becomes a Pokémonmaster – is yet to come!

ASH’S PIKACHU Type: Electric type Age: Unknown

However when Ash protected Pikachu from a flock of Spearow, they became firm friends. They both love battling and adventure, and are fiercely loyal. Pikachu is just as headstrong as Ash, which is perhaps why they are good friends.

The good news is that this map tells us how far each route is. The bad news? The map’s been damaged. No problemo for a whizz like you, though.

ey, you! Yes, you! You’re a mammal, I presume? TBH, if you’re not, I’d love to hear from you — hit me up on Twitter @adambspencer.

But if you are, here’s a little fact about your, ah, pooping habits. Science says it’ll take a 12 seconds for you to empty your bowels, most commonly creating two pooey pieces in the process. Doesn’t matter whether you’re 4 kilograms of 4000 — that’s just how it is. How do we know? Shout out to Patricia Yang, mechanical Engineer PhD student at Georgia Institute of technology, Atlanta. Fancy a bonus fascinating faecal fact? One of the crucial parts of your body in helping you do the do is a layer of mucus in your colon. This helps the slip out easily. If the mucus is absorbed by your waste you get constipated and it gets a lot harder to say goodbye to the goo. And if you didn’t have this layer of mucus and applied no pressure at all, you’d only empty your bowels once every 500 days. Patricia warns, ‘It would be shortened to 6 hours if you apply maximum pressure, but I believe you’d still need to see a doctor.’

Just Bear with me ... o I’m on a camping trip. One morning, I decide to go for a little hike, so I leave my campsite and walk south for 3 km before turning east and walking for another 3 km.

Dirty Steak with Melted Bone Marrow RECOMMENDED HEAT: Level bed of red-hot embers using best-quality lump charcoal or the embers of a hardwood fire (with silver birch, for example). SERVES 1

1 steak Coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper For the melted bone marrow: 4 tbsp bone marrow 1 garlic clove, finely chopped Sprig of fresh rosemary, finely chopped Sprig of fresh thyme, finely chopped 2 sprigs of fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

I’ve enjoyed cooking “dirty” steaks for many years now. I started doing them in my wood-fired oven on some embers, as I didn’t have a grilling grate that would fit through the door of the oven. So I just raked forward the embers and cooked the steaks on these. I didn’t realize then that this technique was something others were doing, but I’ve since seen many other masters of this method. These days, I tend to cook my dirty steaks on top-quality charcoal in a grill, but still enjoy cooking them on the embers of a silver-birch fire when I can. This recipe is another in my series of experiments in resting meats and then adding an extra layer of flavors during the resting period. I love bone marrow—they call it “God’s Butter” for very good reason. It’s rich, fatty, and delicious, and perfect for basting. If you can get bone marrow from good-quality, dry-aged beef, then you have something very special.

+ Grill tips You can use any type of steak, but my favorites for this particular cooking method are hanger, skirt, sirloin, and bone-in ribeye.

Prepare the bone marrow in advance by mixing it with the garlic and finely chopped herbs. Wrap in foil or plastic wrap (clingfilm), form into a rough sausage shape, and pop in the refrigerator to firm up for a few hours. Put the steak on the embers. Don’t season the steak with salt until the last minute—instead, wait until you flip the meat over before seasoning with sea salt and black pepper to taste. Putting on salt too early draws moisture to the surface of the meat, which will boil off and give you a gray steak and a poor sear. To get the best sear, season the steak after flipping. Only flip the steak once, and don’t move, fiddle with, or press down on it in between.

Use a digital probe thermometer to check when the steak is a few degrees off your desired cooking temperature, depending on how you like your steak (see Internal Temperature Guide, page 13), then remove from the coals and let rest for a moment. Remove the bone marrow from the fridge and cut off a thick slice. Place the slice of bone marrow on top of the steak, then pop a piece of red-hot charcoal or ﬂaming silver-birch kindling on top to melt the marrow onto the steak.

Pork Chops with Charcoalmelted Nduja Butter RECOMMENDED HEAT: Barbecue that allows both direct and indirect cooking at 320– 350°F (160–180°C) with the lid on. Add a small chunk of wood for smoking (I use hickory, but cherry, apple, and maple also work well). SERVES 2

1 “double” two-bone pork chop 3 tbsp CountryWoodSmoke Mocha Rub (or a pork rub of your choice) For the nduja butter: 2 tbsp soft unsalted butter 2 tbsp nduja

Move the chop to the indirect area of the barbecue, and let cook slowly with the lid on until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). You can pull the chop a couple of degrees earlier, if you wish, as the temperature will continue to rise by a few degrees while the chop is resting. + Grill tips If you can’t get hold of nduja, try making a herby, garlicky compound butter or a nice blue cheese compound butter instead. Melting and searing ﬂavored butter into the meat is a technique that takes the humble pork chop to a whole new level.

A good-quality pork chop is a thing of beauty, with creamy fat and a thick loin. However, even with the best pork, it’s still a relatively blank canvas on which you can layer some seriously good flavor combinations. And that is the beauty of barbecue—there are so many opportunities to layer flavors and few things are better than when all those flavors work in joyous harmony. This recipe works these flavorlayering opportunities to the maximum. You have the meat base, the dry rub, the smoke and searing, and the final theatrical flourish: a slick of spicy, russet-colored nduja butter melted and seared with a piece of red-hot lump charcoal. Nduja is a soft, spreadable salami from Calabria, in Italy, that is mostly pork fat, but has plenty of chili for a real kick. If you haven’t discovered the joy that is nduja, then you must try it, as it has so many wonderful uses.

Remove the chop from the barbecue and let rest for 5 minutes, then cut in half between the ribs and across the center. Put a slice of nduja butter on the cut side of the chop, then quickly place a piece of red-hot lump charcoal from the barbecue on top of the butter. This will smoke and melt the butter onto the chop— the cut side of the pork will soak up the butter to add a wonderful extra depth of ﬂavor. Serve on a plate with the lump of sizzling charcoal on top for some great table theater, allowing the diner to remove the charcoal and get stuck in.

Make the nduja butter in advance by combining the butter and nduja. This is a type of compound butter. Wrap in plastic wrap (clingﬁlm) or foil and roll into a sausage shape. Pop in the refrigerator or freezer until the butter has ﬁrmed up. Score the fat on the pork chop or the rind if this is left on and you want some crackling. Sprinkle the chop with an even coating of the dry rub and place directly over the charcoal with the fat-side facing down. Put on the lid and cook for a few minutes until the fat starts to render and crisp up—you’ll know this is happening because the amount of white smoke from the top vent will increase as the fat drops onto the charcoal. Sear the chop on both sides until you get the sear you want.

Scallops on a Silver-birch Log RECOMMENDED HEAT: Split a silver-birch log, at least 1 inch (2.5cm) in diameter, in half down the middle to give you a flat side on which to cook the scallops. Fire up the barbecue with goodquality lump charcoal and place the log on top of the grill. Let burn for a good while, taking in the mouth-watering smoke of the silver birch as it heats up. Once the surface of the log is turning white and starting to get a little ash-y, you know it’s time to cook.

A good, plump, sweet scallop is a sublime work of art that needs very little cooking—just a quick sear on both sides to keep it quivering and juicy. It requires a bold hand to place such a beautiful ingredient on a dirty lump of smoldering wood, but this is exactly what you’ll need to do here… Trust me, it’s good.

SERVES 1

After a few minutes, the edges of the scallops will start to crisp up, which means they are ready to turn. Flip the scallops over and give them a further 2–3 minutes. They should develop a delicate crust, but still be soft and juicy on the inside, having taken on a sweet smoky ﬂavor.

3 good-quality fresh scallops, roe (corals) attached 2 lemon slices Coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper To serve: Large handful of arugula (rocket)

Give the log a quick blow to remove any loose ash, then place the scallops on the ﬂat side of the wood. Season to taste with a little sea salt and add a couple of slices of lemon to caramelize.

Serve the scallops on a bed of arugula (rocket) with the caramelized lemon slices, and season to taste with a little more sea salt and some black pepper.

Scallops in the Shell with Sorrel Chimichurri RECOMMENDED HEAT: Good level bed of red-hot embers of good-quality lump charcoal or the embers of a hardwood fire. SERVES 1

3 cleaned good-quality scallops in the shell, roe (corals) attached For the sorrel chimichurri: Handful of fresh ﬂat-leaf parsley 1 cup (30g) fresh sorrel 6 garlic cloves 1 small shallot, chopped 4–5 tbsp red wine vinegar, to taste 3 tbsp cold water 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil Juice of ½ lemon 1 tsp coarse sea salt 1 tsp dried oregano 1 tsp red pepper (dried chili) ﬂakes

+ Grill tips Instead of using chimichurri, ﬁnish the scallops with some garlic and lemon butter or perhaps nduja butter (see page 28)—both these butters make a good alternative.

Cooking a scallop in its shell provides a natural “mini pan” to contain any juices that are released, or any sauces/ butters you add. You can place the scallop shell directly on the charcoal to make the most of the searing heat of direct embers. You probably won’t achieve the same seared crust as you would if cooking the scallop on a red-hot plancha or pan, but you get a lovely, juicy cooked scallop (and have no extra pan to wash up).

Chimichurri is mostly associated with beef in its native Argentina, but I ﬁnd it complements a great number of grilled seafood dishes and vegetables with its punchy herbiness. If you want a delicately sauced dish, this probably isn’t for you, but I love the way a little drizzle of chimichurri works with the sweetness of the scallops. The sorrel in the chimichurri gives a little added lemon zip to the dish. If you can’t ﬁnd sorrel in your local grocery store, try the herb section of a garden center.

Make the chimichurri in advance by blitzing all the ingredients in a food processor or using a hand blender until you have a coarse chunky paste. Add a little more olive oil, if required. Ensure the scallops are free from their shells using a small sharp knife. Place each scallop in its shell on the embers. Let cook in the shell for a few minutes until you see the juices starting to brown— this is the time to turn the scallop over. Before turning the scallops over (within their shells), drizzle each one with 1 teaspoon of the chimichurri—don’t use too much or you will overpower the sweet scallop. Cook the scallops for a few more minutes, ensuring they do not burn, then serve.

Ember-cooked Figs RECOMMENDED HEAT: Good level bed of embers of best-quality lump charcoal or the embers of a hardwood fire. The embers need to be red-hot, so ensure there is enough airﬂow by cooking without a lid. SERVES 1

2 ripe ﬁgs To serve: Salad leaves of your choice 3½oz (100g) feta cheese, crumbled 1 tsp runny honey

Ember-cooked Vegetables

Figs have their own protective skin that makes them perfect for popping straight into the embers, “dirty” style. The skin crisps up and protects the sweet sticky center, the heat caramelizing the sugars to give a wonderfully complex, sweet caramel flavor. You can use the figs in any number of dishes, knowing you have made the best possible use of them. Here, I made a simple salad using the cooked figs, some salty feta cheese, and a drizzle of honey, along with a few salad leaves—something with a little heat or pepperiness works well.

RECOMMENDED HEAT: Good level bed of embers of best-quality lump charcoal in a barbecue or the embers of a hardwood fire (I like to use silver birch). The embers need to be red-hot, so ensure there is enough airflow by cooking without a lid. SERVES 2

2 ripe tomatoes 2 shallots, peeled 1 zucchini (courgette) 1 small eggplant (aubergine) 1 red, orange, and green bell (sweet) pepper, cored and deseeded, but left whole For the chermoula: 2 large garlic cloves 1 red chili pepper Handful of cilantro (fresh coriander) 6 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil 2 tbsp white wine vinegar Juice of 1 lemon 2 tsp paprika 2 tsp ground cumin Pinch of sea salt For the flatbreads: 1 cup (125g) all-purpose (plain) flour, plus extra for dusting 5 tbsp (75ml) warm water ½ tbsp olive oil ½ tsp fine sea salt

Nestle the figs in the embers, pointed end facing up, and leave for 3–4 minutes. Turn the figs over and leave for a few more minutes, or until the skin is slightly charred and blistered. How do you know when the figs are ready? Well, they’ll start to sing a sweet song... you’ll hear them hissing slightly as the juice gets hot and starts to escape. You will also notice a wonderful caramel scent in the air as the sugars in the figs caramelize. Remove the figs from the embers with a pair of tongs, and let cool slightly. Cut the figs in half or into slices, and serve on a platter with the salad leaves, crumbled feta, and a drizzle of runny honey.

Cooking vegetables in the embers of some good-quality lump charcoal or a hardwood fire really intensifies their flavor and adds a wonderful charred element to any dish they are added to. Here, I made some flatbreads to wrap the vegetables in and then added some zingy chermoula.

Make the chermoula in advance by blitzing all the ingredients in a food processor or using a hand blender until you have a loose paste. Add more olive oil, if required. Set aside. To prepare the flatbreads, mix all the ingredients together in a bowl, either by hand or using a food mixer with a dough hook, until you have a smooth dough. Knead the dough for 8–10 minutes. Pop the dough in the bowl, cover with plastic wrap (clingfilm), and let rest for 20–30 minutes at room temperature. Split the dough into four equal pieces. Dust your work surface with a little flour. Roll the pieces of dough into very thin rounds, or whichever shape you prefer, using a rolling pin. Bake the flatbreads on the embers of the barbecue or hardwood fire for a few minutes on each side, or until just charred and crisped up in places. (You can, of course, also use a hot barbecue grill.) Set aside and wrap in a clean dish towel to keep warm. Pop all the vegetables into the embers of the barbecue or hardwood fire. Turn occasionally and set aside when soft and slightly charred. The shallots, zucchini (courgette), and eggplant (aubergine) take the longest to cook—around 10–15 minutes. To serve, slice the cooked vegetables, load into the flatbreads, and drizzle with the chermoula.

types of grinder ome grinders are designed for espresso and others for coarserground filter or French press brewing. Espresso grinders tend to be specialists in the realms of fine grinding, allowing for very fine-tuning at the small end of the scale, which enables them to grind very fine coffee impressively well indeed. Grinders intended for grinding filter coffee operate over a much broader range of grind sizes, but tend not to go as fine as an espresso grinder. Some grinders, it seems, can fulfil both roles adequately, although I’d argue that a grinder designed for a specific purpose will generally produce better results than a jack of all trades. Espresso grinders come in two flavours – those with a doser (a lever on a coffee grinder that dispenses [‘doses’] the ground beans), and those that are doser-less. Grinders with dosers were designed so that batches of coffee could be ground all at once, then portioned into a portafilter (the handled part of an espresso machine that holds the filter basket, into which ground coffee is placed) when an order was placed. You’ll recognize them as the grinders that have a paddle or lever on the side. Obviously this is not good practice, as ground coffee should never be left to sit for more than minute or so. On the face of it, the doser-less grinder would appear to be the best choice, since it has fewer moving parts and fewer places to trap coffee grounds, as well as enabling the ground coffee finds its way straight into the portafilter basket ready for brewing. However, many grinders with dosers are now equipped with timers that grind the

INGREDIENTS SERVES 1 30 g (30 ml/2 tablespoons) fresh espresso 50 g (50 ml/2 ﬂ. oz) vodka (I personally like the creaminess of potato-based vodkas in this drink) 10 g (10 ml/2 teaspoons) sugar syrup (or more if you prefer it sweeter), made with a 2:1 ratio of caster/ granulated sugar to water, heated until the sugar dissolves.

method Add the ingredients to a cocktail shaker ﬁlled with ice and shake for at least 10 seconds. Strain into a chilled martini glass.

Note: the classic foam that sits on top of this drink is a result of the carbon dioxide in the espresso forming relatively stable bubbles that are held by the combination of sugar and melanoidins.

iced coffee ll of us have an opinion on what temperature our coffee should be served at. For most, a sensible degree of heat in a filter coffee is just fine. A bit of temperature assists with the volatilization of aromatics in the mouth. Some people aren’t content that their drink is hot enough unless a layer of flesh is stripped from their soft palate. Some, like me, may prefer their coffee slightly cooler, allowing acidity to drop off slightly and body to thicken. Genuinely cold black coffee, though? That is perhaps a stretch for even for the most experimental among us. But in recent years icing up a filter brew has become all the rage when the sun is shining. While the cynic in me sees the iced coffee trend as an essential hot-weather earner for panicked café operators, iced coffee at its best offers a refreshing, low-calorie beverage, with all the delicious characteristics of the coffee that you love. It does taste a bit different, however. The colder our tongues get, the harder it is to detect its sweetness. This phenomenon explains is why ice cream is such a delight straight from the freezer, but nauseatingly sweet once it has melted. It also explains why iced coffee has a more pronounced bitterness and less sweetness to back it up – lending itself well to lighter roasted coffee, where we find that as the sweetness drops off, a clean and crisp ‘bite’ is its replacement. In terms of brewing technique I would recommend using a paper filter or Aeropress and brewing directly onto ice. Ice adds another variable to the mix, and an important one at that.

As your brewed coffee hits the ice, the ice will do what it does so well, and begin to melt. Now, the melt is something that needs consideration n before you brew, since the coffee will become diluted and weaker over time. I’ve heard much discussion on n the ratio of ice to brewing water in the past, but in my opinion it is a moot point. The amount of ice you use makes little difference, since unless it is an inordinately small amount, it is highly unlikely that it will melt in its entirety. Also, the melting g action of the ice will drop off signiﬁcantly once the coffee is chilled ed to near 0°C/32°F. In an ideal world,, we would calculate the precise amount of meltage expected before e constructing the drink, but this is difﬁcult as it depends on a number of factors: temperature of the ice, temperature of vessel holding the ice, ce, level of insulation provided by the vessel, and whether the coffee/ice mixture is stirred or not. My approach requires some forward planning, but ultimately results in a consistent drink every single time. You see, the only guaranteed way to overcome the uncertainties of dilution from ice is to chill the coffee with more coffee. By y using coffee ice cubes to cool down n your coffee, you can have the best of both worlds, chilling and preserving g the strength of the beverage at the e same time! Oh, and if you’re going to the trouble of making coffee ice cubes, be sure to try them with your ur favourite whiskies, rums and Tequilas! as!

Panama itself, the country is becoming popular with American citizens wanting to purchase a holiday home, a development that threatens to chew away at coffeeproducing farmland in what is ironically one of the best producing countries in the world. In response to this, total production has dropped by 15 per cent in the past three years.

Paraguay A relatively small player in the coffee game, Paraguay generally turns out no more than 20,000 60-kg/130-lb) bags in a year, which is less than even some middle-sized estates in neighbouring Brazil. This hasn’t always been the case. Output peaked in the 1970s and then dwindled until the coffee crisis of the 1980s, when it dropped off a cliff. What little coffee is still grown tends to be along the Brazilian border. Transport difﬁculties, minimal governmental support and poor infrastructure mean that the standard is fairly poor.

Peru Small farms, mostly organic soils and high altitudes are the main themes in Peruvian coffee production. Peru produces some of the cheapest organic arabica on the market and the quality and consistency of these coffees are improving, too – an excellent trend, since Peru has the potential to produce some outstanding coffees. The biggest growing region is in the north, in Cajamarca state, which accounts for around 70 per cent of all the Peruvian arabica, and, considering that Peru is the ninth biggest coffee-growing nation in the world, that’s quite a lot. Inconsistencies aside, Peruvian coffee is generally light, very bright, clean and sweet, but occasionally lacking in powerful fruitiness.

Puerto Rico Coffee cultivation is becoming increasingly scarce in Puerto Rico, and the Caribbean island now stands ds as one of the smallest producers in the world, ﬁlling only 700 bags in the he 2013 harvest – small enough not to feature in some ofﬁcial statistics. The he reasons for this drop are numerous,, including the rising costs of seeds and fertilizer, but a crucial factor is the lack of pickers, which means that at over a third of the ripe coffee cherries ries are never even picked.

Venezuela Very little coffee actually leaves Venezuela. Annual production during ng the past 30 years has held ﬁrm at around one million bags, but more and more of it has been destined for or domestic consumption. This is mostly tly a consequence of the strict regulations imposed by the Chávez z government in 2003, which saw exports drop from 50 per cent to 2 per cent of the annual crop over the period from the early 1990s to present day. As such, Venezuelan coffees are not easy to come by.

naturally during the wet months of the year. The process is done with natural coffee and has the effect of amplifying the already wild and heavy character traits of the style. Goodquality arabicas from India are beginning to appear and the industry is exploring a wide range of varieties.

Indonesia Indonesia was one of the very ﬁrst countries to grow coffee commercially, preceded only by Yemen. The country consists of a multitude of islands and it doesn’t take long to discover that each island has its own interpretation of the Indonesian style – best demonstrated in such famous producing regions as Java, Sumatra and Sulawesi, which collectively account for over seven per cent of the world’s total coffee production, placing Indonesia third in the running order. Many of the arabica varieties here are subjected to a pulped-natural process, known locally as giling basah, typically culminating in a deep, earthy, lowacidity style, and it can perform nicely as part of an espresso blend. The better (washed) coffees from Sulawesi exhibit more of a spicy, fruity character, but retain the Indonesian heavy body.

Nepal Although Nepal produced no more than 5,000 60-kg/130-lb bags of arabica coffee in 2013, this was almost double the amount of the previous year and ten times that produced 20 years ago, indicating that output may continue to grow in future.

Now this is a story all about how this cocktail got flipped turned upside down. And I’d like to take a minute just sit right there and I’ll tell you all about how to make The Fresh Mint of Bel-Air. In Bloomfield, New Jersey, born and raised, in a shaker is where it spent most of its days. Chillin’ out, mixin’ up, dilutin’ all cool, shaking some citrus, not making a mule . . . you get the idea.

METHOD: Muddle the strawberries in the bottom of a cocktail shaker. Add the gin, simple syrup, and lime juice, and shake. Double strain into a coupe glass and top with the prosecco. Put a mint leaf between your palms and slap ’em together. Use the mint leaf to garnish.

JUICE BOX ICED TEA 2 OUNCES BOURBON .5 OUNCE LIMONCELLO .25 OUNCE SIMPLE SYRUP (SEE PAGE 110) ORANGE BITTERS LEMON SLICE, FOR GARNISH

I knew I hit the jackpot when I got a Ssips Iced Tea for lunch when I was a kid. These were my absolute favorite. The mix of almost-iced-tea flavor, lemon, and of course, lots of sugar was just what I needed to get through the doldrums of the school day. Sure, that energy was just a sugar rush, but I’m fairly certain, thanks to packaged foods, that most of us spent at least half of the ’90s riding a sugar high. Using bourbon as the backbone for this drink, you’ll still get the lemony, sugary flavor you would in the original but with significantly less sugar.

METHOD: Add the bourbon, limoncello, simple syrup, and bitters to a mixing glass with ice and stir well. Strain into a rocks glass with a large ice cube in it. Garnish with the lemon slice. If you’ve got any extra tiny straws lying around, feel free to sip through that.

This drink is strong and salty, just like my memories of trying and failing to impress Summer Sanders enough to get me on Figure It Out.

METHOD: Shake the whiskey and pickle juice together and strain into a martini glass. Garnish with the baby dill pickle or pickle slice (the whole baby dill will give more of a crunch). TIP: Want to do this like a shot? Just keep the whiskey and the juice separate (and cut the whiskey back to 2 ounces). Drink the whiskey and follow it up with the pickle juice.

CBD oil (or cannabidiol) is receiving huge attention from mainstream media for its anti-inflammatory effects which may help to improve our brain health, alleviate anxiety, headaches, and arthritis. CBD comes from the cannabis plant, but unlike the stuff you smoke, CBD contains only trace amounts of THC, the psychoactive chemical of the plant that gets you high. It has the relaxing, anti-inflammatory benefits of the cannabis plant without making you feel weird. Leah Vanderveldt has taken CBD oil for over a year and is convinced it has helped her with anxiety, pain and to improve sleep. Her easy recipes include smoothies, teas and coffees, snacks and desserts, light savoury meals, and even mocktails and cocktails, plus CBD skin care such as an anti-inflammatory face mask and a coconut oil moisturiser.

Wabi-Sabi Home Finding beauty in imperfection Mark Bailey and Sally Bailey Wabi-Sabi Home is a look that’s rough around the edges and sees the beauty in imperfection but is at the same time creative, modern and brave. Wabi-sabi is the Japanese ancient philosophy of finding beauty in the imperfect and embracing the humble. It is not a decorating style, but a concept that celebrates the imperfect, the transient and the time-worn. Wabi-sabi is alive and well in many Japanese homes, where frayed, weathered and worn items are treasured, and modest, everyday objects are given elevated status by being displayed in a measured way. In Wabi-Sabi Home, Mark and Sally Bailey visit homeowners all over the world who understand that battered, scuffed, peeling and handmade objects are not just beautiful but preferable to pristine ones, because they bring a place to life, and make it feel homely and personal.

Large statement paintings can really make a room, but they come at a cost—so wouldn’t it be good to make something yourself for a fraction of the price? The artwork I made here is huge, but you can scale it down. You could create a collection of small canvases and display them close together as a collage, make a medium-sized one for a small wall, or go even bigger than I did for massive impact. This project is a great way to use up leftover rolls of wallpaper—the end result looks impressive but is easy to make, just the way we like it!

Creating the frame

• wooden batten, length depending on the size of your canvas • measuring tape • saw • miter box • wood glue • wood screws • screwdriver • canvas or other sturdy fabric (see tip on page 12), slightly larger than your frame • staple gun • wallpaper paste • wallpapering brush • leftover roll of wallpaper • wallpaper smoother • scissors • picture frame D rings and screws

Decide on the dimensions for your canvas (make sure that you have enough fabric and wallpaper to cover the whole frame and to wrap around the sides) and cut your batten accordingly. For my canvas, I cut two 71 in (180cm) lengths and two 59 in (150cm) lengths.

Cut four corner pieces to stabilize the frame. I used up offcuts so they are slightly different lengths, but aim for an approximate length of 8 in (20cm). You will need to mitercut the ends of the offcuts, as they have to be at a 45-degree angle (see page 105). Make sure that the two ends of each offcut are sawn in opposing directions in order to butt up to the frame—see photo.

Press the tape on by sliding your finger over it. Washi tape is made from paper and sometimes needs a little help adhering correctly.

Change the look of your cupboards in less than an hour simply by replacing the old handles with pieces of driftwood. You can, of course, scour the beach for suitable pieces, which would make a fun day out, but the other option is to look online. eBay is a great place to find driftwood that has already dried out and been debugged, as doing this yourself will take time. I ordered pieces approximately 6 in (15cm) in length, so all my handles are roughly the same size. Driftwood is very brittle which means you might have to replace or reattach any well-used handles after six months or so.

Place a screw in the hole on the reverse side of the door and screw into the piece of driftwood.

Galactic Bear – Creating Your Own Backgrounds (previous page) Coloured by Sarah a.k.a @thai.lyss

This image has been coloured with great precision using professional, high-quality colouring pencils. Special care has been given to the bear’s fur, making sure that it has a realistic shine. A great way to create this effect is to first study some photographs of fur, or look at it in real life. You can examine the texture, the way it falls and how it captures the light. In this image, the ripples of light falling across the bear’s head have been coloured in a combination of golden and reddish browns, creating a lustrous, silky appearance. The colourist has also drawn a night-sky background, completely of her own creation, with

accents in black and white marker pen. This is an imaginative way to combine colouring with her own drawing skills. The background is awash with starry details and, rather than opting for a solid black background that might flatten the effect of the image, a subtle texture has been added, using rich, dark indigos and blues. Doing so gives the impression of a deep, nebulous sky. In contrast to these deep blues and the bear’s brown fur, the colourist has completed the ‘alien’ characters in hot pinks and burnt oranges. These are playful, bright colours that highlight the quirky, fun nature of the images.

Dark Raven – A Masterclass in Graduated Blending (facing page)

Coloured by Marjorie Rappillard a.k.a @marj.0rie

Using directional blending techniques – graduating from dark edges through to a light centre – the colourist has created a sense of depth in this image. She has used this technique in between and on the foliage, creating depth and pockets of illuminated space. Blending and graduating from dark to lighter tones is achieved using high-quality colouring pencils, layering different shades of colour and alternating pressure on the pencil. To create this effect, first decide in which direction you wish your tones to graduate and start at the darkest end. Create very dark areas by using a dark colour and pressing firmly on the page. For light areas use a lighter shade of pencil and press gently. This colourist has chosen shades of blue and purple as her main colour themes, with pops of brighter pinks and oranges to contrast.

COLOURMORPHIA SPREADS .indd 6-7

To create a seamless effect, from dark to light, gradually layer and overlap each new shade, paying attention to where the shades meet. You can use a colourless blending pencil, or rub some paper towel over the top, to help bleed the colours into one another. In this image, notice how the colourist has placed dark areas next to light ones. This ensures no element of the detail gets lost – dark purple and hot pink leaves sit on top of pale blue backgrounds. The outer edges of each leaf are deliberately coloured dark or pale to stand out against the surrounding areas. These techniques serve to draw the eye into the glowing focal point of the picture – the fiery orange eye and beak of the raven.

A Clockwork Cat – The Beauty of Simplicity (this page) Coloured by Izabela Szadkowska a.k.a @issa_bella03

Though only two main colour choices – blues and golden oranges – have been used for this piece, it is nevertheless vibrant and rich with the different tonal qualities of these shades. Blue and orange sit opposite each other on the colour wheel and so are complementary to one another. This means that they have the effect of creating a vibrant contrast. If the colourist had chosen only blues and purples, for example, the effect would not be so striking. This image is also an excellent example of how very slight tonal shifts can suggest completely different surfaces and textures. By adding dashes of red and hot oranges, she has created the fiery, glossy fur of a ginger cat. By making use of yellows and umber, with skilful graduated blending, she has given the mechanical, metallic elements on the page an authentic, brassy glow. This picture is evidence that you don’t need hundreds of colours to create stunning results; a limited number of colours can be skilfully manipulated to achieve the desired effect.

I read every federal case that had to do with women’s equality or the lack thereof and every law review article. Now that seems like it was quite an undertaking but in fact, it was easily manageable because there was so little.

Young women today have a great advantage, and it is that there are no more closed doors. That was basically what the ‘70s was all about. Opening doors that had been closed to women.

” GENDER EQUALITY

GENDER EQUALITY

[On being the lone female Supreme Court justice briefly]

“

It’s almost like being back in law school in 1956, when there were nine of us in a class of over 500, so that meant most sections had just two women, and you felt that every eye was on you...

Every time you went to answer a question, you were answering for your entire sex. It may not have been true, but certainly you felt that way. You were different and the object of curiosity.

” THE SUPREME COURT

We should not be held back from pursuing our full talents, from contributing what we could contribute to the society, because we fit into a certain mold...

because we belong to a group that historically has been the object of discrimination.

The Boho Manifesto Live Your Unconventional Life to the Fullest Julia Chaplin A slightly tongue-in-cheek but completely thorough guide to achieving the boho lifestyle, including work, food, exercise, and travel. Bohos are perhaps best described as a group of trust-fund artists, broke charismatics, leisure scientists, office-averse entrepreneurs, surfer-environmentalists, and/or bon vivant partiers who lead seminomadic, unconventional lives. Their approach to life is based more on creativity than on money, but having a few rich friends with homes by a good surf break doesn’t hurt. Instead of in a luxury hotel, you might find a boho camped out in a tepee in Ibiza, or in a yurt in Mongolia wearing an Oaxacan serape and Valentino espadrilles. It’s definitely fun to live vicariously through the lens of these fabulous individuals – learning what they wear, where they travel to, what they do in their leisure time – and with The Boho Manifesto, it’s finally all accessible. Here we learn about the New Mindfulness, including how to enter a state of “flow” and why to use mala beads, palo santo sticks, crystals, and mandalas for meditation. Topics in the “Body” chapter include AcroYoga, sound baths, natural deodorant, Tantric sex, and beauty botanists. When it comes to food, it’s all about the new hyphenated cuisine – “cold-pressed,” “grass-fed,” and “free-range” – along with backyard foraging and fermentation. When it comes to work, it’s about co-working spaces, laptops in paradise, microgurus, and never again committing to a 9-to-5 job. Publication

Fangirl The Untapped Power of the Female Music Fan Hannah Ewens

C OV E R

A celebration of the socio-economic might of female fans.

DRAF T

From the Byromaniacs of the 19th century (who can still be found now, if you look hard enough), through to the Beatle hysteria of the early 60s and the OneDirectioners of today, female fans have long driven the objects of their affection to the giddy heights of life-changing fame. So why don’t these women get any credit? Why are they derided and frequently the butt of jokes? Without these girls, in the past, books and records would have gathered dust on shelves, unsold and forgotten. Now, concerts wouldn’t sell out, revenue streams from merchandising would disappear and the music industry wouldn’t be much of an industry at all.

In Fangirl, journalist Hannah Ewens is on a mission to give these girls their rightful due. A self-confessed fangirl herself, she traces the path of fangirls through history: the ups, the downs, the lengths they go to; but also the communities and camaraderie created by these communities off- and online and the lifeline they can provide.

Author Details Hannah Ewens is currently Features Editor at VICE , having previously worked at Dazed and Confused . She writes about music, film, mental health and fandom for publications that include the Guardian and the Telegraph , and presents on-screen for VICE and Vevo. She is one of the most successful rock music journalists in the UK frequently doing cover features for Kerrang! . Her interview subjects include everyone from Patti Smith and Deftones to Jennifer Lawrence and Sofia Coppola. Over her short but rapidly rising career, her articles have gone viral and her intimate, emotional and analytical writing cuts to the heart of her subject. An incomplete list of pop culture she fangirls over: Courtney Love, Sylvia Plath, David Lynch, Kirsten Dunst, Marilyn Manson, Lord of the Rings , punk rock and Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

Gender diversity in the music industry is a real problem: only 2% of the songs in the Billboard top 300 in 2017 were produced by women. Only 22.4% of the same songs were even sung by women. This book will provide insight into the depth and breadth of this problem, from a unique and innovative angle. #MeToo is proving (worryingly) slow to spread to the music industry, and this book has the potential to be the catalyst for change that women everywhere have been waiting for. 46% of One Direction's fans are aged 35 and over: being a fangirl no longer means being young (and older fangirls are more likely to buy books!) Hannah Ewens is an award-winning writer with lots of contacts and a great profile

THE NINE VENUE CITIES should offer fans, and visiting teams and dignitaries, a hugely enriching experience and the chance to explore France, one of the most popular tourist destinations on the planet. From the footballing hotbed of the north and the romantic ambience of the capital, via the wine regions of the Rhone Valley and the beauty of the Alps to the sunshine and coastline of the Riviera, the locations of the magnificent stadiums that play host in this tournament will reflect the nation’s varied geography, accents and flavours. What better place to kick off a celebration of women’s football than in Paris, the City of Lights? On the evening of Friday 7 June, Paris Saint-Germain’s beautifully modernised Parc des Princes will be the setting for the opening game, ensuring match-goers enjoy a first-rate fan experience in the stands as well as on the field. The group stage and Round of 16 action spans out across the nation, taking in Valenciennes, Le Havre, Reims, Paris, Rennes, Grenoble, Nice and Montpellier. The most northerly venue, Valenciennes is just 15km from the Belgian border and within reasonable travel distance from European capitals Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, London and Luxembourg City. The Normandy seaport of Le Havre boasts a Blue Flag beach, its city centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Le Havre Athletic Club is the oldest football and rugby club in France. Reims is known as the City of Kings for its central role in French history and its club Stade de Reims has a revered past as two-time European Cup runners-up to Real Madrid in the 1950s. They also play at one of the tournament’s smallest venues. Similarly compact, Grenoble’s Stade des Alpes has a stunning mountainous backdrop and holds just over 20,000, but the city itself is the largest in the Alpine region. Renowned for its winter sports and local team Grenoble Foot 38, it is an important

site in terms of history, art and scientific research. Situated near to the Mediterranean and boasting a sun-drenched and dry climate is the thriving hotspot of Montpellier; while Rennes in Brittany, the region that put on the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup 2018, with its pretty medieval centre, hosts the last quarterfinal before the focus shifts southwards. Residents of Nice – the cultural and economic capital of the Cote d’Azur – are rightly proud of their Promenade des Anglais and its many attractions, elegantly positioned between the grandeur of the Alps and the beautiful blue sea. Their new stadium, built for local club OGC Nice in 2013, will host the play-off for third place. Capital of Gaul during the time of the Roman Empire and now home to France and Europe’s most successful women’s club side (in 2018 Olympique Lyonnais lifted the UEFA Women’s Champions League trophy for a record fifth time), Lyon is the country’s second largest metropolitan area. Lyon is also the place to see the semi-finals and final of the game’s most prestigious competition. Opened in 2016, the third largest and one of the most modern stadiums in France, Stade de Lyon can seat over 59,000 spectators. Between fixtures, visitors will have time to savour the sights and tastes of this artistic and gastronomic centre. All 52 matches will be played on natural grass, news surely welcomed by traditionalists after Canada 2015 was the first senior FIFA tournament to use FIFArecommended 2-star football turf for every fixture. The scene is set. Bienvenue en France 2019.

MEET THE TEAMS It takes tenacity and talent to reach the pinnacle of any sport and you can be sure that the elite female footballers who run out at this FIFA Women’s World Cup™ – be they ambitious debutants, experienced campaigners or tournament favourites – will relish this opportunity to shine in front of a worldwide audience. The hard fought qualification campaigns are over, the time to perform on the world stage is finally here. Let’s meet the 24 teams.

Below: The U.S Women’s National Team avenged their 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup Final shoot-out defeat to Japan by blowing their opponents away in a 5-2 victory to lift the trophy in Vancouver, four years later.

GROUP A

BRAZIL

ANDRESSINHA

BEATRIZ

MARTA

Bringing flair and samba style to France

Born: 1 May 1995 Position: Midfielder

Born: 17 December 1993 Position: Forward

Born: 19 February 1986 Position: Forward

Grew up in the southern Brazil state of Rio Grande do Sul and, like Marta, started in futsal playing against boys and her masterful ball control reflects that. Great at set-pieces and striking from distance. Credits her father Elizeu Machry for believing in her talent when younger and making vast round trips to take her to training and games. Captained Brazil at a number of under-age FIFA Women’s World Cups, played in all four games at Canada 2015 and joined Houston Dash shortly after. Traded to Portland Thorns FC in January 2018.

‘Bia’ is a physical forward who leads Brazil’s front line. Made only one and two substitute appearances respectively, at FIFA Women’s World Cups in 2011 and 2015 but by Rio 2016 had locked down a regular starting spot, scoring three times – including in the bronze medal match loss to Canada. The goals have continued, her six in qualifying only bettered by Catalina Usme of Colombia. Championship winner in the Korean WK League with Incheon Hyundai Steel for five successive seasons, starting from 2013.

Six-time FIFA Women’s World Player of the Year/The Best FIFA Women’s Player and has won numerous individual awards and championships in Sweden (where she gained citizenship in March 2017) and in the USA. Ominously for opponents, is enjoying some of the form of her career at Orlando Pride in America’s National Women’s Soccer League. Ferociously skilful and fast on the ball, her left foot can be a precision weapon. Already sitting pretty as all-time tournament top scorer with 15 goals in four tournaments.

ONES TO WATCH

Never short on natural talent, Brazil have often thrilled and entertained at the FIFA Women’s World Cup™ but have yet to achieve top billing. Could 2019 be the year As Canarinhas live up to expectations?

THE COACH OSWALDO ALVAREZ First in charge from 2014 until after Rio 2016, this is his second stint as coach of the Selecao and will be his second FIFA Women’s World Cup with the team. In his first 12 games back in charge, replacing Emily Lima in September 2017, the team won 11 matches, drew one and claimed two titles. Known as ‘Vadao’ the 62-year old has worked in Brazilian football across three decades, including spells at men’s clubs such as Corinthians, Sao Paulo and Atletico Paranaense. Viewed as an adaptable coach, great at problem-solving and encouraging of youthful talent, having brought through famous names, like Kaka and Rivaldo.

CLINCHING THEIR seventh Copa America Femenina in April 2018 ensured Brazil maintained their ever-present record at the FIFA Women’s World Cup (guaranteeing a spot at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games in the process) but they are yet to win a global gold. For years many have lamented the lack of backing for Brazil’s skilful women from the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). An 18-month residency programme for As Canarinhas before Canada 2015 and the home Olympics in August 2016 suggested a sea change and over 70,000 fans were at the Maracana to cheer Marta and co in the Rio semi-finals (they lost to Sweden in a shoot-out), showing some of the potential of the team and also the women’s game, both on the field and off.

Emily Lima, the first woman to coach As Canarinhas, was appointed post Rio but sacked less than a year later, due to poor results. Oswaldo Alvarez was reinstated as coach, got his players onside and has set to work on developing their tactical versatility – the majority of his squad now play professionally overseas so their conditioning is no longer a pressing priority. His first returning success was overseeing two wins and a draw in October 2017, which gave them victory in China’s Yongchuan International Tournament. Brazil’s seven wins, 31 goals for and just two against, reflects the ease at which they triumphed at the Copa America Femenina in Chile. Fourteen players contributed to that scoring tally, underlining the team’s dynamic positive play.

Results from further afield in friendlies against higher-ranked opponents, have been topsy-turvy but they are getting games in, learning and growing in strength. For some this could be their last major tournament. Iconic forwards Marta and Cristiane, defenders Monica, Tamires and Erika, and goalkeeper Barbara are all aged 30 or over and Paris Saint-Germain’s seemingly indefatigable defensivemidfielder Formiga will be 41 and could make history if selected for a record seventh FIFA Women’s World Cup. Can they write the perfect ending in 2019?

Lionesses look to roar their way to the top

Born: 28 October 1991 Position: Defender

Born: 8 December 1992 Position: Midfielder

Born: 29 June 1993 Position: Forward

Athletic, attack-minded right back whose ultra-competitive attitude is belied by her laid-back, off-field nature. Lives up to her middle name (her mother’s maiden name) of ‘Tough’. From Northumberland with a Portuguese father she enjoyed European and domestic success in her first season at Olympique Lyonnais in 2017–18. Started at Sunderland and won championships with the University of North Carolina, Liverpool and Manchester City, the club where she established herself as world-class.

Father Keith was a tough-tackling defender and club legend for Hartlepool United, however his daughter is a diminutive midfielder, known for her energy, balance, goal-making passes and devastating efforts from distance. Switched from Sunderland to Arsenal in 2010 and has set the tone for excellence with the Gunners ever since. A thigh injury limited her playing time during Canada 2015 so France 2019 could be the 26-year old’s perfect chance to shine.

Chelsea’s talented, technically skilled and prolific striker. Graduated through the youth sides at Reading. Dubbed England’s ‘mini Messi’ after her goal against Mexico at Canada 2015. Bubbly character who has bravely spoken out about depression and coping with the sudden death of her mother. Hit superlative form in 2017–18 scoring 25 in all competitions, collecting a number of national ‘Player of the Year’ awards and cementing her place as a true fans’ favourite.

ONES TO WATCH

At Canada 2015 the Lionesses suffered a heartbreaking semifinal loss to Japan through a freakish own goal but came back to beat Germany to bronze. Having reached the semi-finals of UEFA Women’s Euro 2017, they believe they can go further in France. ENGLAND WERE AGAIN unbeaten during their FIFA Women’s World Cup qualifying campaign, having not lost a qualifier since going down 1-0 away to France in the play-off

THE COACH PHIL NEVILLE Former England, Manchester United and Everton full-back who spent a trophy-laden decade of his 19-year career playing under legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson. Sparked a furore when appointed head coach in January 2018 – his previous experience in the dugout limited to assistant roles with England U21s, Manchester United and Valencia CF in the men’s game – but the Lionesses took to him immediately. Went to three UEFA Euros but this will be his first World Cup. Younger brother to fellow United and England defender Gary and twin to Tracey, ex-player and coach of the successful England Netball team.

final for FIFA Women’s World Cup 2003. They racked up 29 goals and conceded just one in the process – only Germany scored more in the UEFA qualifying round and no team’s defence was as stingy. Those statistics suggest a seamless road to France but things got off to a bumpy start, with head coach Mark Sampson controversially dismissed – for matters unrelated to performance – just hours after their opening 6-0 win over Russia in September 2017. Lionesses youth coach Mo Marley oversaw routine wins against Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kazakhstan before former men’s professional Phil Neville was offered the role.

Neville’s involvement captured the interest of the wider football media, as did an unexpected Group 1 leadership challenge from next-door neighbours Wales who held England 0-0 in Southampton and were also undefeated, until the Lionesses’ 3-0 win in the reverse fixture confirmed their supremacy and top spot. Neville has offered opportunities to previously untried and developing talent: 34 players saw action in qualifying, including seven starting debuts in the 6-0 win in Kazakhstan.

England have momentum and expect to be “in the mix” in France but as their boss has clearly stated, “Third will not be good enough.” Left: Lucy Bronze, right-sided defender but influential all over the park.

The Magic of Tarot Includes a full deck of 78 specially commissioned tarot cards and a 64-page illustrated book Liz Dean Interpretation is the key to the art of Tarot reading. This pack includes a Tarot deck and an easy-to-use book which explains the key concepts of the cards in simple terms that the reader will find easy to remember and then put into practice in a reading. The Tarot has a 500-year history and most Western and Eastern cultures have created their own unique decks. The cards in this set, exquisitely illustrated by artist Emma Garner, express the rich imagery and symbols of the Tarot in a way that is both stunning and immediate. There are eight different card arrangements to try laying out, plus essential information on timing a reading; this is often omitted in Tarot instruction guides, even though the first question asked of a Tarot reader is often ‘When will these events happen?’. Particular attention is also paid to interpreting the ‘people’ or Court cards of the Minor Arcana, as these are often stumbling blocks for the new reader. Armed with the knowledge in this book, the reader will be able to make sense of a complete reading for him or herself or a friend, and use these inspiring cards to solve problems, identify opportunities, and ultimately divine the future.

Distilling decades of experience, palmist and astrologer Heather Roan Robbins has developed a uniquely grounded but soul-centred approach to palmistry. She teaches you how to explore the landscape of the hand and come to know the hills and valleys of the hand’s contours, recognise the deep rivers of the major lines and listen to the bend of the fingers. When you understand the shape and form of a person’s hand, you can understand their disposition. Get a glimpse of their lines and get a clue as to how they communicate. Understanding the hand’s topography will help you accept and deal with yourself and others. For those who want to become a professional palmist, Be Your Own Palm Reader lays a good foundation in an accessible and memorable format. And for those of us who just want to know more about ourselves, this approach to palmistry offers a visual portrait of the patterns of the soul and can give us clues on how to bring ourselves and our lives into a better balance. Because the landscape of the hand changes over time, it reflects shifts in our life habits and the consequences of our major decisions. The hand is your energy conduit to the world – paint a beautiful future with the power of your choices now.

Author Details Heather Roan Robbins is a writer, ceremonialist, astrologer and palmist. She has developed her approach over the last 40 years while working with astrology and palmistry in an active private practice, as well as in her work as a personnel manager and in collaboration with family therapists and life-coaching groups. Heather is also the author of Be Your Own Moon Astrologer (CICO Books). She now lives and practises in Minnesota, USA. Visit her website at www.roanrobbins.com.

ROUND HANDS

OVAL/ALMOND HANDS

Good at dealing with the public

Good communicator

A round shape implies friendliness, diplomacy, coziness, and often a caring personality. A pure type round hand is as wide as it is long, with fingers about the same length as the palm, but the round shape brings this affability wherever it shows up. A rounded foundational realm implies someone who needs to get along with the people she lives and works with, and prefers to keep close to community. Human interaction is a fundamental need. A rounded shape at the top of the palm shows someone who puts people first during daily interactions. If the whole palm appears circular, this is a genuinely nice person, the heart of a family or community sort. Rounded at the top of the hand does not imply practical order, if the rounded arch drops off noticeably around the little finger and the little finger is set considerably lower than the ring or index fingers. This person may have a place for everything, but not everything is in its place. If the palm appears squared off at the base but rounded at the top, this person may have a pragmatic foundation but may express herself and interact with the world in a more sociable and diplomatic way. She cares, but has a practical mindset. These people often make excellent therapists, teachers, diplomats, or customer-service representatives.

Oval hands are a subset of the rounded shape. They are rounded at the base, with a long palm that is rounded at the top, and the fingers are usually long with almond-shaped nails. Oval hands represent the sociability of the round hand with the added dimension of thoughtfulness before action that comes with the long palm and long fingers. They suggest a good, balanced, sociable, thoughtful community member. Look for oval hands on committee members, or the spokesperson for the company or the parent-teacher organization. These people are generally good team players, but do not underestimate their intelligence and basic need to understand what’s going on. They often have a great sense of aesthetics and are usually aware of the feelings of the people around them. They prefer to avoid conflict. Ask them meaningful questions but approach them as if you know there is common ground between you. The longer and thinner the hand, the more the characteristics drift into those of the pointed hand.

THE MOUNTS OF OUR HAND

My correlation of astrology with the fingers and mounts is slightly different from what you find in classical palmistry. I reverse Sun and Venus, but this comes from my understanding of astrological symbols and my decades of comparing hands to charts. You’ll find that it makes sense.

Pools of energy The mounts of the hand act as pools of energetic reserves, and that energy is expressed by the ﬁngers. Notice which mounts are prominent. These describe the person’s main points of interest and skill. Notice which mounts are underdeveloped, indicating where some building up needs to be done.

SUN The mount of the Sun, the ball of the thumb, describes our reserves of Chi or physical vitality. Our Chi is the physical engine that drives the rest of the chart. The larger and fuller this mount in relation to the hand, the more its owner operates with strong physical vitality. When it seems especially large for the hand, the person may get angry quickly, have an overactive sex drive, or a good immune system but be prone to high blood pressure, or have so much energy he doesn’t quite know how to deal with it. The bigger the engine, the more thoughtfully we have to drive the car. A small mount of the Sun indicates running on nerves more than strength. This person may not be able to count on good health, and may choose a life that is not physically oriented. If you want to seduce a person with a slight Sun mount, you need to bring his mind along. Use words and images rather than count on chemistry and sex drive, although these people may have just as much fun once they get going. To balance: Physical reserves can be built up through healthy living, exercise, and ﬁnding joy in the movement of the body.

The Mounts of Our Hand 41

CB1302 BYO Palm Reader - FINAL

LONG LIFE LINE

life line is weak with many lines that troop off it, check for depression. To balance: The owner needs to take responsibility for her health, and think about what would help her to find her enthusiasm and reinvest in her life. A long life line describes the intention and energy to live a long and purposeful life. Remember, though, that events outside of our control do not necessarily show up on the life line. A life line chained along its whole length indicates a person who was born with delicate health, and is physically sensitive to her surroundings. She may put other people’s needs ahead of her own or have had difficulty in forming a clear sense of self in childhood. To balance: Tai chi is one way to help build strength and vitality, and this, together with some confidence-building therapy, may increase the person’s ability to listen to herself and uncover a sense of purpose. She needs to strengthen her health and support her digestive system to improve absorption.

CHAINED LIFE LINE

84 The Roadmap of the Hand

CB1302 BYO Palm Reader - FINAL

where it begins If the life line and head line start together under the mount of Jupiter, the fate and mindset of this person are well tied into her family history. If the life line and head line originate together and stay connected for a while, it indicates that as a child, this person’s mindset was formed by the family and the events going on within it. If the life line and head line run smoothly together, this shows a normal and comfortable experience. If the life line moves smoothly out from this position, the person’s early life has left her connected to her family but not feeling trapped by them. Sometimes, the life line and head line are chained together for the first 10 years or so (see page 79). The owner may have had trouble setting boundaries with her family. She may have felt emotionally responsible for them, or have been deeply affected by the family’s rhythms and stories. She may have been wrapped up in and dependent upon the family, or in full rebellion against them. Either way her sense of self was deeply but uncomfortably intertwined with the people around her, and she may have to push away from them to develop confidence and find herself. The longer the chaining goes on, the harder it has been to become an individual. If the life line and head line start separately, this person’s identity is not bound up with her

Mindfulness on the Go Discover how to be mindful wherever you are — at home or work, on your daily commute, or whenever you're on the move. Anna Black Whether you are at home or at work, on your daily commute or travelling, you can practise mindfulness to decrease stress and improve your health and wellbeing. It is often challenging to weave mindfulness into our day as we get caught up in the busy-ness of life. It can feel overwhelming sometimes to know what to do and how to start doing something different and having to decide stops us doing anything at all. Mindfulness on the Go is designed to address this problem. It introduces the essential pillars of mindfulness and how to cultivate it, then offers 52 suggestions, divided into practices and activities, to start using it every day. Practices are mini meditations to do while you are out and about, while activities focus more on becoming aware of your habitual patterns of behaviour, as well as how mindfulness can help you to cultivate new ones. By focusing on just one thing per day, it makes it easier to remember rather than just feeling you should be mindful all the time. As you become familiar with the type of practices, you will find that you begin to do them without the prompts, and mindfulness will become part of your daily life.

Can being more grateful change your life? Ongoing research suggests that it does. Practicing gratitude has a positive impact on the brain and changes the way we feel about the world and each other, making us want to nurture, help and protect one another, and increasing our sense of belonging. It extends far beyond the ritual of sharing gifts or saying thank you. It is a form of recognition – a way of appreciating the kindness, beauty and wonder that life has to offer. A Year of Living Thankfully offers simple activities for each week of the year that will help you embrace gratitude and reframe your view of the world. Included are creative suggestions to turn a simple thank you into a heartfelt gift, strategies to help you see life with brighter eyes, meditations to end your day on a grateful note, and ways to help you find thankfulness again when times are hard. Journal pages with friendly reminders follow each activity so that you can reflect on your experience and what you are discovering. You will soon find that gratitude becomes a way of life and will reap the benefits, both emotional and physical.

Sleep is a popular topic of the moment – how sleep works, why we need it and how to sleep better – and dreaming is of course intrinsically linked to it. Dreaming has been said to serve an important function in our wellbeing – it is like overnight therapy and enhances creativity and problem-solving. Journalling brings you into a state of mindfulness, which has been shown in studies to improve wellbeing.

The Vibrant Life Eat Well, Be Well – and Love Your Midlife Amanda Haas From the motivated authority behind The Anti-Inflammation Cookbook, this guide to living midlife with grace and good health is packed with holistic lifestyle inspiration, great recipes, and beautiful photography. Like The Anti-Inflammation Cookbook , this is a cookbook for (mostly) women of a certain age who are reading and talking about nutrition and other lifestyle changes in regard to health, beauty, and longevity.

The recipes are fresh and approachable, and each recipe delivers a number of health benefits. This is a self-purchase for women who are making changes in the way they eat and cook for their families, or a very nice 40th or 50th birthday gift from a friend to friend, or daughter to mother.

A wide range of publications, including Good Housekeeping, Real Simple, Bon Appétit, and of course serious medical journals, have published stories linking functional foods to healthy ageing in recent years. The uptick in books about eating for beauty and specific medical conditions has paved the way for books that take up ageing – the universal condition. The Anti-Inflammation Cookbook (9781452139883) has performed quite well for Chronicle, and The Vibrant Life has the same potential, because of the author's connections and its broad subject, to reach a wider audience. This has a fresh, pretty package to house this diet-lite content, with lots of lifestyle elements that make it compelling for a wide audience of women.

VEGETABLES, GREENS, AND OTHER DELICIOUS THINGS

After learning about some of the best foods on the planet from Rebecca Katz (page XXX), you’ll understand why I felt compelled to create an entire chapter focused on green foods and veggies. As she spoke about the health benefits of herbs, arugula, broccoli, and kale with delight in her voice, I wanted to create recipes that highlighted their amazing flavors while letting their enormous health benefits shine. In this chapter, I hope you’ll find the five or six recipes that you want to make over and over again. And as you become more comfortable with vegetables taking center stage, don’t be afraid to change the recipes to make them your own. Cauliflower and Romanesco are amazing substitutes for broccoli, and I’m treating arugula as the new kale. Mint can sub for basil, and thyme and rosemary can stand up to almost any flavor combination. So mix, match, and make your own combinations.

MODERN SALADE NICOISE with Poached Tuna and Curry Aioli Dressing

I’m obsessed with salads that can be prepped on cutting boards. The idea? You prep everything on the board and arrange each ingredient in sections; then, right before you serve it, you add the dressing and toss it “tableside” in front of your guests! (It’s the perfect way to do fewer dishes, too!) The twist on this salade Nicoise is that the typical aioli becomes a creamy curry-infused vinaigrette, lending a depth of flavor and an anti-inflammatory punch that is often lacking One tip for poaching tuna: You’ll need enough oil to submerge the fish, so use as small of a pan as possible that allows the tuna to rest in one piece. Then you’ll use less oil! PR E PARAT ION T I M E

NAPA CABBAGE SALAD with Fennel and Roasted Almonds

Confession: My test kitchen team and I order takeout for lunch all the time, as in two or three times a week. Considering we have up to twenty recipes to taste on any given day it may seem odd, but many days it could be eight types of cupcakes or six braising sauces or seven cocktails, so we crave vegetables and other people’s cooking. The food from RT Rotisserie is our obsession. Although they are known for their perfectly juicy rotisserie chicken, their salads are our true addiction: As Inken, Emily, Belle, and I sit at the table, we dissect every herb, seed, lettuce, and allium that shows up in their salads. So one day we decided to take two of our faves and mush them together to create this masterpiece. You’re welcome.

S E RVE S

4 radishes, halved 2 Tbsp chopped fresh chives

4 cups [400 g] thinly sliced napa cabbage 1 fennel bulb, cored and thinly sliced

Rinse the tuna and pat dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides and let rest for 10 minutes. Place the lemon zest strips and garlic in a saucepan just large enough to fit the fish. Add oil to a depth that will cover the fish, about 11/2 inches [3.75 cm]. Heat over low heat until the oil registers 180°F [80°C]. Gently lower the fish into the oil and return the heat to 180°F [80°C]. Cook until the fish is opaque but still pink at the center, about 7 minutes. Transfer the fish to a platter or cutting board. To make the curry aioli dressing: Whisk the mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, curry powder, honey, and garlic in a small bowl to combine. Slowly whisk in the oil. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk in 1 tablespoon water to reach a pourable consistency. Taste and add more salt and pepper as desired. To assemble the salad: Arrange the romaine, radicchio, cucumbers, eggs, avocado, green onions, and radishes on a platter or cutting board and season with salt and pepper. Arrange the tuna on top and sprinkle with the chives. Drizzle with the dressing and serve.

THE ANTI-INFL AMMATION COOKBOOK

Combine the cabbage, fennel, onion, parsley, and dill in a large bowl. Whisk the lemon juice and honey together in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the oil. Season with salt and pepper. Taste, adding more salt and pepper, if desired. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss to coat. Sprinkle in the almonds and toss gently to combine. Taste, adjusting the seasoning and adding more oil if desired. Serve.

DESIGN FOR PART 2 OPENER TO COME

I was raised eating lots of boneless, skinless chicken, a little bit of fish that came out of a Styrofoam pack from the “butcher,” and even less red meat because my mom believed that carbohydrates, margarine, and low-fat ingredients were the way to go. (They were certainly the trend.) We’ve come a long way in our beliefs around food since the 70s! Most medical researchers now preach the importance of a diet rich in vegetables, fruits, and real ingredients. In addition, time, medical research, and common sense have concluded that we should be consuming less animal protein, especially when animals are raised in harmful environments and fed harmful ingredients, forever altering their composition. In addition, raising animals for consumption is hard on the planet, can be completely inhumane, and can also wreak havoc on our bodies. But what about consuming animal protein that has been raised responsibly and ethically, and is better for us? I like to use grass-fed beef as an example. The diet of the cattle can alter the nutrients and fats you get from eating the different types of beef. lots of veggies and small amounts of animal protein.

Don't Tell Me Not to Ask Why Poetry & Prose Samantha King Holmes Maybe all the answers to all your questions are living within you, waiting to be discovered after finding more of yourself. Don’t Tell Me Not to Ask Why, Samantha King Holmes’s second solo poetry collection following her bestselling Born to Love, Cursed to Feel, is a mirror that reflects our honest truths. Holmes’s poems are like little stories, hooking readers while navigating issues like body image, family relationships, loneliness, failed relationships, and finding belonging. Don’t Tell Me Not to Ask Why is a call to introspection, a demand for honesty, and an affirmation of second chances.

Author Details Samantha King Holmes has been writing since the age of 11. She took up the pen during a tough time in her life and it evolved from song writing into poetry. Not always able to articulate how she felt, poetry became her therapy. The compilation of poems over the years takes you through the various stages of her life, almost like a diary. The essence of who she was and is becoming can be found in her words. She currently resides in New York with r.h.Sin. Publication

Let the Children Speak Let’s not talk about it Let’s not address it The lump under the rug still has more room As a child, I was taught not to speak I was young, what did I know As an adult, I was still told not to speak out, it’s disrespectful Didn’t I turn out fine despite the circumstances, wasn’t that enough? You said your best was given That’s a lie I’m no longer able to accept I was the one who had to live with the consequences of adult decisions that didn’t have my best interest in mind You should have just listened You defend yourself, you justify, where you should apologize You treat me as if there is still milk on my breath while expecting an adult to grow from the ashes of my adolescence Expecting no tears to be shed over the desolation of my childhood I think we’ve created a reality where we just don’t talk about what came before We avoid the potholes of our bonds We stopped trying to fill them in long ago So little hope for recovery 6

Is it a shock I’ve kept my mouth shut so long? Endured, suffered quietly As if my pain, my anguish had no place in this world Didn’t deserve to be spoken, acknowledged What power I gave everyone over me with my devoted silence I think my childhood died there That’s what dire circumstances do to you You’re a child seeing life through a child’s eyes, being called to be mature enough to handle a situation, but not have an opinion How confusing that our maturity should merely be a convenience when called upon but struck down the minute it’s pointed out the hand they’ve played in it They never want to hear the truth even when we’ve aged and deserve answers How hard it must be to face the product of your not so well thought out decisions in a living, breathing form that continues to ask questions that you don’t feel the need to answer It’s easy to point out my mistakes without taking into consideration how you contributed in making me who I am I’m not looking for perfection here or even an apology I’ve wanted the truth for so long

FORCE OF GRAVITY

Along with forces, engineers need to harness energy. Energy makes things happen. Let’s take a look...

What we call “weight” is actually the force of gravity pulling on the mass of an object. So if gravity pulls more on heavier objects, they fall faster – right? Let’s find out...

You will need:

Drop the balls to see if you made the correct prediction.

What about if you dropped one of the balls at the same time as the sheet of paper. Will the paper or ball hit the ground first?

✔ A small ball such as a tennis ball or golf ball ✔ A staircase 8

You’re going to drop the big ball and the small ball from the same height at the same time. Before you do, make a prediction as to which one will hit the ground first.

✔ A large ball such a soccer ball or basketball

✔ A piece of paper

Stretch the rubber band three times its length and release it.

HOW DOES IT WORK? As your salt dough clay dries, particles in the flour become bonded together, and the salt dough hardens.

Natural clay is soft. When you heat it, water evaporates from it, and new bonds form between the clay particles in a process that produces a stronger, harder material.

OK, so this “clay” isn’t the real deal – but you’ll get a feel for how clay can be moulded into shapes. The only thing you can’t do is EAT it!

You will need: ✔ An adult helper

✔ 100 g (4 oz) salt ✔ 220 g (8 oz) flour 14

Little by little, add the flour, stirring all the while. Continue stirring to make a smooth paste. Add a little more water or flour to get a clay consistency. Heat the mixture until it thickens.

WARNING! Beware, heat!

Glass can sometimes be blown into shape because of its runny, sticky consistency when hot. It gradually hardens into a firm shape as it loses heat.

Fantastic FIFA Women’s World Cup™ facts

MEET

ettieTM is a young chicken with a passion for life and football! She is also the mascot for the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2019. Cheeky and friendly, her name comes from the French word for “star”: “étoile”. Kitted out in her country’s colours – a redand-blue stripy top – ettieTM is set to light up the tournament with her warmth and slick skills!

Here are some awesome facts about the FIFA Women’s World Cup to wow your friends and family.

Fifty-two matches will be played at France 2019, with the opener in the French capital, Paris. That means at least 4,680 minutes of football, plus extra time!

Women had to wait 61 years after the first men’s FIFA World CupTM in 1930 to play in the first women’s tournament.

Road to Lyon Once all 24 spots at the FIFA Women’s World Cup France 2019™ had been filled, the teams were sorted into groups in December 2018. Now each team must be at the top of its game in the month-long battle to win the ultimate prize in women’s football! Here’s how the tournament will play out in France, from the first round to the final.

GROUP STAGES

There are six groups made up of four teams. Each team has to play the others in its group once, with the top two teams in each group progressing to the next round. The four best third-placed teams from the six groups advance to the knockout stage as well. Goal difference could be key here.

t England’s Toni Duggan will be hoping to open her FIFA Women’s World Cup goalscoring account in France.

{ Japan advance to the semis at Canada 2015 with a narrow win over Australia in the quarter-finals.

QUARTER-FINALS

Next up are the quarter-finals, through which eight teams become four. Matches are played over 90 minutes, with extra time and penalties if needed. Germany sneaked through to the semi-finals at Canada 2015 by beating France in a penalty shoot-out. The four ties will be played in Valenciennes, Le Havre, Rennes and Paris.

q Carli Lloyd smashes home the first of the USA’s five goals in the 2015 final.

ROUND OF 16

The six group winners, the six runners-up and the four best thirdplaced teams from the groups go through to the knockout stage. In these rounds, if the scores are level after 90 minutes, 30 minutes of extra time are played. If the teams are still drawing at the end of extra time, a penalty shoot-out decides the winner.

FINAL

The biggest match in women’s football is the FIFA Women’s World Cup final. The title has twice been decided on penalties, with the USA and Japan winning dramatic shoot-outs in 1999 and 2011 respectively, while the final at Canada 2015 was a seven-goal thriller! The Stade de Lyon will host this mega match.

SEMI-FINALS

The two semi-finals are usually nail-biting occasions, where just a single goal can decide whether a team reaches the final. The USA have made it to the semifinals at every single edition of the tournament. Both semi-finals will be played at the 58,000-capacity Stade de Lyon.

The USA’s 5-2 victory over Japan in the 2015 final was watched by 26.7 million viewers in the US – a record at the time for any football game, men’s or women’s.

Tournament rules The referee is in charge of the game and has two assistant referees to help apply the rules. With so much to play for, referees also have state-of-the-art technology to help them do their job. Making sure that the game is played fairly is a real team effort!

VANISHING SPRAY When a team is awarded a free kick, the referee may use a special vanishing foam spray to draw a line on the pitch, marking where opponents must stand as the free kick is taken (at least 9.15m behind the ball). Clever stuff!

q The refereeing team from the third-place playoff at Canada 2015 pose for a photo.

t Vanishing spray was introduced to speed up the game. The marks on the pitch disappear after about a minute.

PICKING A WINNER

What happens if the scores are level at the end of the game?

Extra time

From the round of 16 on, matches that are drawn after 90 minutes will go into extra time. Teams must play two extra halves of 15 minutes, plus any stoppage time. If the scores are still level after 120 minutes, the match will be settled by a penalty shoot-out.

GOAL-LINE TECHNOLOGY

Goal-line technology (GLT) is a computerised camera system that monitors both goals, alerting the referee if the whole of the ball crosses the line. The difference between scoring and not scoring can be just millimetres! GLT was first introduced at the FIFA Women’s World CupTM for the 2015 tournament in Canada. u At Canada 2015, Norway’s goal in their 2-1 round-of-16 defeat to England was confirmed by GLT. The system was used eight times during the tournament.

Penalty shoot-out

The FIFA Women’s World Cup final has twice been decided by a penalty shoot-out, in 1999 and 2011. In a shoot-out, each team takes five penalties in turn. If the scores are still tied after five penalties each, the spot kicks go to sudden death until one team is declared the winner.

q The German players celebrate after beating France in a tense shoot-out in the quarter-finals at Canada 2015.

Thank You For My Dreams Bedtime Prayers of Gratitude HSH Prince Alexei Lubomirski Sometimes saying "thank you" is all it takes to calm our minds, ignite our inner gratitude, and draw near those we love. From the official photographer of the 2018 royal wedding comes Thank You for My Dreams, an encouraging guide and helpful tool for parents and their children to begin the daily practice of saying "thank you." Not only do its brilliantly illustrated pages recognise the importance of gifts like family, health, the environment, prosperity, and art – they also prompt readers to reflect on what they're individually thankful for. As Lubomirski's own children narrate the thank-yous, Thank You for My Dreams creates an occasion for children and adults to express, enjoy, and connect through their gratitude. Publication

HSH Prince Alexi Lubomirski was born to a Peruvian-English mother and a Polish-French father. He grew up between Botswana, Oxford, and London. At the age of eleven, he was informed of his true ancestral heritage and aristocratic bloodline. Having not grown up in royal surroundings with all the trappings, he was the first of his family in five hundred years to have the title with none of the material evidence. Thanks to this displaced upbringing, and after much trial and error, he gradually succeeded in marrying his history with his present, managing to fulfil his role as the bearer of this title; and at the same time adapting the meaning, in this modern-day world, for him and his sons. Apart from being primarily a husband and a father, Alexi Lubomirski is a world-renowned fashion photographer who has worked for several magazines, such as Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. Among other things, Lubomirski shot the official engagement and wedding portraits for HRH Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. In 2014, He published Princely Advice for a Happy Life, a book written for his two young sons, on the virtues of behaving in a manner befitting a prince in the twenty-first century. Lubomirski is also a global ambassador for the humanitarian charity Concern Worldwide, to which he donates all of his book’s proceeds. @alexilubomirski.

Lubomirski was the official photographer for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's engagement and wedding and continues to photograph boldface celebrities as seen on his Instagram (@alexilubomiski). Thank You for My Dreams has crossover potential: it fits in both the children's and inspiration categories, and its message and voice are able to be understood by kids, appreciated by adults, or read by parents and children together. Thank You for My Dreams covers a familiar subject with a unique take. Whereas most gratitude books are written as how-to or self-help journals, this book communicates thanks through the heartwarming, innocent voice of a child. This book creates a bridge between parent and child, helping the former instill the cherished value of thankfulness.

Paint by Sticker Kids has taken off! The four previous titles combined have 761,000 copies in print worldwide and are showing strong sales across a whole swath of retailers. Now introducing title number five, Paint by Sticker Kids: Unicorns and Magic, hitting the sweet spot of fantasy, this Paint by Sticker title includes everything kids need to create ten bright and colourful illustrations of some of their favourite fairy tale creatures and settings. There are two colourful unicorns (which happen to be among the very top toy trends of 2018), a friendly dragon, and a delicate fairy. There’s a mermaid swimming with a school of fish. There’s a beautiful princess, a wise old wizard, a misty tower, and that familiar setting for so many classic stories, a snug little cottage. Creating sticker art is pure fun and a nice change of pace from markers and crayons. Simply find the numbered sticker, peel it, place it in the right space, and little by little, a mesmerising fantasy image comes to life in the modern “low-poly” style that uses geometric shapes. The card-stock pages are perforated, so artwork can be easily removed for framing. Plus, there’s no mess to clean up! And attention, parents: This activity, perfect for rainy days, travel, or when you’re all gathered around the kitchen table, also helps kids practice recognising and learning numbers in an interactive, stress-free way. But don’t mention it.
