WILLIAM YEOWARD BLUE & WHITE... I 1

Home & Garden

Known for his chic and stylish color combinations, William Yeoward reveals his color secrets, starting with the classic combination of blue and white—there are cobalt silk sofas, sapphire armchairs, aquamarine patterned ceramics, and indigo plush pillows, all combined to evoke a sense of luxury in William’s trademark style. The unique color stories in the book include: a red, white, and blue villa in France, a comfortable coastal retreat with hints of pink, living rooms and table settings in soft grays, a contemporary cottage with blazing ochre reds, and so much more. This is William’s fourth book and is the first one to focus on his passion for color and the sumptuous interiors that can be created by emphasizing details, layers, opulent textures, prints, and proportions.

Within each sharing menu there are lists of things to buy in, dishes that require simple preparation, plus exciting recipes to cook. In Fall, reflect the bounty of the harvest with platters that include seasonal treats like squash, chard, beets, and purple artichokes. Winter is a time for comfort food at its finest. It’s dark, it’s cold, it’s probably raining. The only antidote is a cosy home and a dining table groaning with delicious things for your friends to help themselves to. Serve comforting spiced tomato soup with cheese scones, a good old-fashioned beef stroganoff, and chile chocolate mousse. Come Spring it’s time to lighten up. Young vegetables with tangy dips, small bowls of pea and mint risotto, artichokes with vinaigrette, and herb-garnished gin and tonics. Let it shine in Summer. Head outdoors and entertain with fun cook-outs sharing platters, seafood, and dazzling dessert stations for al fresco fun. Finally, embrace the art of feasting, whether cooking a sensual dinner for Valentine’s Day or celebrating a special event. Make up these platters or tables of food when you have more time to spend in the kitchen and serve a stunning centerpiece rib of beef or a classic whole salmon. Ultimately, it’s all about spending time with your guests and enjoying yourself. • Includes time-savvy tips, advice on feeding a larger crowd, making ahead and decorating your platters, boards, and tables. • Features vegetarian, vegan, wheat-free, and dairy-free options. • Party-Perfect Bites (978-1-84975-568-9) has sold over 9,000 copies.

Gin Tonica

Food & Drink

Spaniards love their gin and tonics. In Spain, the bartender doesn’t ask you what you want to drink, he asks you how you want your gin and tonic prepared. This simplest of drinks—just gin, tonic, ice, and a garnish—is now considered the national drink of Spain. A beautiful cocktail with a variety of herb and flower garnishes, a Spanish-style gin and tonic or “gin tonica”, is made with a premium gin and the best quality tonic water, combined with bitters and various herbs, spices, flowers, and fruits that will complement the botanicals of a specific gin. It is served over ice in an oversized balloon glass—the idea being that the shape enables the drinker to enjoy all the lovely aromas their drink gives off. For a cocktail with only two ingredients, the flavor potential is staggering! Making a gin tonica is an intricate process; the ice has to be dense so that it melts slowly, the glass might be spritzed with a fine layer of citrus oil, chilled to perfection, with the tonic poured in delicately. No detail is ignored, and the result is absolutely delicious. With more gin brands and styles of tonic available than ever before, and 40 inspired recipes here to try at home, there has never been a better time to discover the joy of the gin tonica—saludos! • Includes a directory of the best “Gintonerias” (bars) serving gin tonica around the world.

TALULLA BEAR GOES EXPLORING I 29

Children’s Activities

Little Talulla Bear is used to the safety of her own surroundings. When her mother invites her to go on an adventure, exploring new environments, she is worried—the big wide world seems very scary. Her mother reassures her, and together they find beautiful things and learn about new places. Talulla’s mother gently prompts her to explore the world, encouraging her to use her senses and to fully embrace an array of sights, smells, and sounds. Talulla learns to be curious but wise, especially when she comes face to face with a happy busy bee! On this journey of exploration, she tastes succulent berries, rolls in the mud, and even overcomes her shyness to befriend a bear called Ronin. Talulla ends her exploration tired, happy, and ready to do it all again tomorrow. This is a beautiful storybook in its own right, but Heather Roan Robbins’ poetic and meditative language, combined with Sarah Perkins’ stunning and soothing illustrations, will transport children and parents alike to a more peaceful place.

A Year of Living Happily Happiness is sought by all—but what, really, is happiness? Sometimes our confusion over just what it is we are looking for is what can make it seem so elusive. Here, Lois Blyth explains what happiness is—and what it is not—and shows how it is within reach of everyone. She details the science of happiness and she suggests simple activities for each week of the year that will help you reframe your view of the world. Some will lead you to selfreflection: look at what you’re grateful for; increase your self-esteem and appreciate your uniqueness; and find happiness at work. Others encourage you to give back to the world, including a “good deeds pledge” and developing a greater empathy for those around you. Spend a week living in the moment and exploring the wonder of the world through all your senses. Journal pages with friendly reminders follow each activity so that you can reflect on your experience and what you are discovering. Through simple shifts in approach, you can choose to be happy and love life, laugh more, and live longer. • Everyone wants to be happy and as a result there are an increasing number of studies and articles on what makes us happy; an annual World Happiness Report was created in 2012 to examine the state of global happiness.

Studies have shown that acting selflessly, and seeing another person act altruistically, produces good feelings and instills a more positive and happier outlook. Being kind is essential to creating a better and happier world. The Little Pocket Book of Kindness, with stirring quotations and tales of inspirational icons, such as Mother Teresa and Mahatma Gandhi, will help you aspire to, and become, the kindest version of yourself. This book has been beautifully illustrated and is filled with color drawings. Give it a read and enrich the lives of those around you.

So You Think You’re a Hipster?

Skinny jeans? Check. Thrift-store clothing? Check. Non-essential prescription glasses? Check. Beanie hat balanced artfully on the back of your skull? Check. These items have become the uniform for a new breed of young people—hipsters—determined to take over cities with their “alternative” ways while overloading on irony and striving to be original and creative. So You Think You’re a Hipster? examines what it takes to become one of this ever-growing tribe of young urbanites, just as desperate to be accepted by their peers as they are to receive the next rent check from mom and dad. A series of hilarious case studies will identify typical examples of the subculture, helping you to avoid any future encounters with them. Take the vintage store worker who, at 35, still works selling worn sneakers for extortionate amounts and still dreams of one day getting his latest album reviewed on Pitchfork. Or the aspiring author who lugs around an old-fashioned typewriter to write down her inspirational musings at a moment’s notice. Then there’s the bearded urban hunter dressed head-to-toe in workwear and outdoor gear despite the fact it’s the middle of summer. Basically there are nearly as many hipsters featured here as you would find at an LCD Soundsystem concert.

All of us yearn for happiness. But in this day and age, it’s easy to understand why people get sad or feel overwhelmed. How can one cope with financial worries, marital strife, and health problems? Can we be happy despite the difficult life-cards we’ve been dealt? The answer is yes. A major proportion of your ability to be happy is entirely up to you. Through practicing mindfulness it’s possible to attract positive experiences into your life by purposefully choosing to be happy. Mindfulness is simply about deliberately paying attention to things we normally would not even notice; becoming aware of our present moment experience as it arises, non-judgmentally and with kindness and compassion. When we practice mindfulness we are aware of what is happening in both our mind and our body. We are paying attention to our inner thoughts—the stories we tell ourselves—as well as to emotions and physical sensations as they are arising. This wise and empathetic little book offers an insight into the experience of mindfulness through the words and affirmations of people of all ages, teamed with timeless quotations from great writers and philosophers. Meaningful relationships are the basis on which happiness is founded, be mindful of these whether they are family relationships, friendships, or marriages in order to bring happiness and contentment to your own life and the lives of those around you. Organized by chapters on Connections, Wellbeing, Gratitude, Friends, Partnerships, Marriage, Nurturing, and Celebrating, some of the tips are fun, serious, deeply moving, and amusing. But each one speaks of the basic shared human desire to find happiness and contentment. • Mindfulness is experiencing a huge upsurge in popularity and can be used by everyone, from stressed city workers to busy parents, high-powered executives to students studying for exams. • Beautifully illustrated and the perfect thoughtful gift for friends and family.
