Ladies of London star Marissa Hermer grew up in southern California picking avocados from her grandmother’s tree. Weekends meant trips to the Newport Beach pier for fresh fish and bowls of granola baked in the sunny family kitchen. But everything changed when Marissa moved to London to be with the love of her life, a British restaurateur who prefers meat and potatoes to guacamole. A classic Sunday roast replaced her beachside BBQ, and sticky toffee pudding elbowed out the s’mores. But as she made her home in England and started a family of her own, Marissa didn’t want to lose her roots. She began incorporating a bit of California into her recipes, creating homey British favorites with a brighter twist. Drawing inspiration from both her American upbringing and British cuisine, the 120 recipes in An American Girl in London show you how to cook delicious, nourishing, family-friendly fare that earns raves on both sides of the pond. From a flavorful sourdough bread and butter pudding to a rich mushroom and tarragon pie, Marissa shows you how to amp up the flavors of home to keep you, your family, and friends feeling fit, loved, and completely nourished. While her home kitchen might not be the most traditional, it’s a match made in transatlantic heaven.

Cook Yourself Happy is a beautifully illustrated cookbook with over 100 delicious Danish recipes. This cookbook promotes the best of Danish cuisine, presenting a mouth-watering selection of authentic, traditional Danish recipes, which have been handed down through the generations. The concept of ‘hygge’ plays a big part in Danish cuisine. It roughly translates as ‘cosiness’ and refers to activities such as sitting by the fire on a cold night, family and friends eating together, reading a good book - things that improve your quality of life. This book is firmly embedded in this concept – the recipes and ingredients that Caroline uses are drawn from classic Danish origins and influences, and her recipes are designed to improve your sense of wellbeing and to be shared with friends and family. A wealth of recipes covers every meal and occasion – whether a light lunch of Warm Smoked Salmon with Pickled Cucumber, the heartier national dish of Stegt Flaesk (fried pork belly) or Pheasant Ragout, a delightful dessert of Baked Apples with Marzipan and Raisins, the most traditional of Danish pastries, or a wonderful Hot Chocolate with Orange Syrup, Cook Yourself Happy is filled with enriching food that your friends and family will adore. Food, family and Denmark are Caroline’s first loves, and this is echoed in the book with photographs of Caroline cooking at home, interspersed with gorgeous photographs of her family home in Denmark. Drawing on traditional age-old family recipes, this beautifully illustrated cookbook focuses on the most delicious and nourishing traditional Danish recipes that will boost your sense of wellbeing both inside and out.

FINALIST FOR THE PEN/DIAMONSTEIN-SPIELVOGEL AWARD FOR THE ART OF THE ESSAY A New York Times Notable Book of 2017 The flâneur is the quintessentially masculine figure of privilege and leisure who strides the capitals of the world with abandon. But it is the flâneuse who captures the imagination of the cultural critic Lauren Elkin. In her wonderfully gender-bending new book, the flâneuse is a “determined, resourceful individual keenly attuned to the creative potential of the city and the liberating possibilities of a good walk.” Virginia Woolf called it “street haunting”; Holly Golightly epitomized it in Breakfast at Tiffany’s; and Patti Smith did it in her own inimitable style in 1970s New York. Part cultural meander, part memoir, Flâneuse takes us on a distinctly cosmopolitan jaunt that begins in New York, where Elkin grew up, and transports us to Paris via Venice, Tokyo, and London, all cities in which she’s lived. We are shown the paths beaten by such flâneuses as the cross-dressing nineteenth-century novelist George Sand, the Parisian artist Sophie Calle, the wartime correspondent Martha Gellhorn, and the writer Jean Rhys. With tenacity and insight, Elkin creates a mosaic of what urban settings have meant to women, charting through literature, art, history, and film the sometimes exhilarating, sometimes fraught relationship that women have with the metropolis. Called “deliciously spiky and seditious” by The Guardian, Flâneuse will inspire you to light out for the great cities yourself.

A reformed rogue finds his tarnished honor tested by the only woman who ever broke his heart in this “spellbinding, sizzling” Victorian romance (Kirkus, starred review). Once one of the wildest rakes among the ton, Lord Denys Somerton is now devoted to putting his past behind him. He is determined to fulfill his duties, find a suitable wife, and start a family. But that plan changes when Lola Valentine—the red-haired temptress from his past—returns to London, sparking the same irresistible desires that almost ruined his life once before. As an American girl from the wrong side of the tracks—let alone the wrong side of the Atlantic—Lola has no romantic illusions. She knew that she can never be the wife of a British lord. For Denys’s sake, she walked away. But when an unexpected inheritance brings her back to London, Lola discovers the passion between them is as dangerously hot as ever.
