This is surely the most extraordinary book on food and eating ever published in the English language. Miss Pennell, who was a correspondent for the Pall Mall Gazette at the height of its amusement and fashionability, was obviously the inspiration of the ‘Two Fat Ladies’. Writing about good food with good writing has never been done so successfully. Beginning with an essay on the virtue of gluttony it traverses past breakfast, sandwiches, dinner, supper, portage, soups, sole, oysters, partridge, salads and savouries, coming sadly to an all too soon a stop at cheese and coffee. Oh, but not forgetting a skirmish with the vegetables. This edition first published in 2005. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.

First published in 2006. The Jam Book is a practical guide to the preservation of fruit- not only jams, but also jellies, marmalades preserves, conserves, cheeses; pastes, butters, chips; crystallised, candied, and brandied fruit; fruit dried and fruit bottled. The object of preserving fruit is to ward off, exclude or neutralise those bacilli which otherwise would cause its almost immediate decay. A heavy solution of sugar; a strong acid, like vinegar; or storage in sterilised jars in which the fruit is externally heated to boiling point - these are the three most popular methods. The book contains hundreds of recipes - for apple marmalade, barberry jam, elderberry jelly, cherry conserve, melon marmalade, guava preserve, grape jelly, pear jam, apple and ginger preserve, and many other temping reads. For those who wish to make natural great tasting jams, this book offers an excellent array of possibilities.

The legendary bestseller that made millions look at the world in a radically different way returns in a new edition, now including an exclusive discussion between the authors and bestselling professor of psychology Angela Duckworth. Which is more dangerous, a gun or a swimming pool? Which should be feared more: snakes or french fries? Why do sumo wrestlers cheat? In this groundbreaking book, leading economist Steven Levitt—Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago and winner of the American Economic Association’s John Bates Clark medal for the economist under 40 who has made the greatest contribution to the discipline—reveals that the answers. Joined by acclaimed author and podcast host Stephen J.
