Chocolate and Zucchini, based on the blog of 28 year old Parisian Clotilde Dusoulier, is a delicious novel that accounts for everything food related. From her favorite recipes right down to her guide of France. Take a trip through the beautiful patisseries and bakers in the streets of Paris – without leaving the house!

Turquoise, the title of Greg and Lucy Malouf’s new novel sees the two accomplished chefs and authors travel through the exotic and diverse culture of Turkey. In Turkey they discover new foods, as well as the thrill of eating in the spice markets, quays, tea huts and tiny soup kitchens. Turquoise brings a beautiful mix of travel, delicious food and recipes but also adventures.
