Summary

"Global Cooking Basics" unveils the universal techniques behind the world's diverse cuisines. By understanding core cooking methods like sautéing, boiling, roasting, and frying, readers gain a deeper appreciation and adaptability in the kitchen. The book explores how fundamental techniques are universally adapted, influenced by resources, climate, and cultural preferences.

 
For instance, it highlights how sautéing manifests as French cuisine, stir-frying in Asian cultures, and similar methods in Latin America. The book begins with principles such as heat transfer and the Maillard reaction, then progresses into specific techniques, tracing their origins across continents. Readers discover how environmental conditions and cultural values have shaped cooking methods.

 
Drawing from culinary history, food science, and anthropology, this book adopts an analytical approach, making it accessible to both amateur cooks and culinary professionals who are interested in food writing and cooking.

    A happy plant makes for a happy home and a happy life; find the right plant for each room.
    
    Indoor plants have never been so important as we realise the power of their presence in making us feel calmer and more connected to nature. But dying plants around the house are negatives you could do without!
    This unique guide from an indoor plant expert explains what plants you should keep in each room, and whereabouts. It contains:
    • Easy-to-understand but horticulturally accurate information on what affects plants in each room – light, humidity and temperature.
    • What typically makes each room different, which plants best suit which room, and how to care for them so that you and the plant are happy. 
    • Working with individual microclimates within that room – for example, a plant that might work on a coffee table in the middle of a room might not work on a bookshelf next to a window.
    • Invaluable information on how to arrange the plants to make stunning arrangements for your home interior. 
    The first half of the book focuses on the five key rooms in any home, with ideas for the reader who wants to green up specific rooms, while the second half is a comprehensive directory of house plants. Each entry has information on light level requirements and tolerance, detailed information on care and colour inspiration for styling the plant. Each plant is also rated by difficulty. 
    This is the most practical guide to building an indoor garden, room by room, to ensure happy plants, a happy home and happy humans.

    he Sickness Unto Death, and Other Fun Danish Party Games: Kierkegaard Without the Prozac is your gloriously sarcastic, brutally insightful, and occasionally soul-crushing guide to philosophy’s original sadboy, Søren Kierkegaard. 
    Tired of reading philosophy that feels like intellectual sandpaper? This book unpacks Kierkegaard’s anxiety-fueled, despair-drenched theology with the humor and honesty it desperately needs. From aesthetic dead-ends to existential panic, from absurd leaps of faith to spiritual ghosting, this irreverent (but accurate!) guide doesn’t just explain Kierkegaard—it translates him for the modern reader who’s spiritually curious and emotionally exhausted. 
    Perfect for readers who love philosophy but hate philosophers, theology with a side of dark humor, and the occasional mental breakdown in pursuit of authenticity. 
    What you’ll get inside: 
    Pseudonyms, despair, and that one time Abraham almost committed murder in the name of faith 
    The aesthetic life: fun until it isn’t 
    Why being a good person might still mean you’re completely lost 
    Faith, absurdity, and how to jump into the void without looking down 
    Kierkegaard’s existential glow-up in modern philosophy (yes, Sartre, we see you) 
    A roadmap for reading his actual books without losing your will to live 
    And a final call to wake up and stop living someone else’s life 
    No prior philosophy degree required—just a sense of humor, a tolerance for paradox, and maybe a journal for emotional damage control.
