The lunch hour is one that can be the biggest highlight or disappointment of any day.

Yet, food-savvy members of the public are now more conscious than ever about what they are putting into their bodies. Nutritious and delicious dinners are big business – and why stop at dinner, after all, around a third of meals eaten are inevitably lunches at work or school. Hungry souls are now after something better come breaktime and are willing to spend a little longer on something that tastes good and does good. The new supercharged lunchbox can be so much more than the wafer-thin ham sandwich and packet of crisps from yesteryear. Instead, Lunch to Go will teach how to create a thing of delight, a balanced individually portioned meal that will be the envy of colleagues. Don't cheat yourself, instead treat yourself to a beautifully crafted lunchbox.

Smoking and Grilling - While...

Sage T. Stevens

I invite you to go on a journey with me. A journey to fight the time thief and get back to what we love about life. We have so many competing interests and make every effort to manage our time commitments. We are forced to make sacrifices, which leaves us unable to truly share our lives with others. The backyard returns to a small oasis that offers relaxation and enjoyment with family and friends. 
I fell in love with the idea of bringing back the art of loving others through great food prepared outside. I painstakingly learned the processes required to make great food and bring family and friends to a place where time can stand still… for a moment. After spending most of my life learning how to prepare great food and share it with others, I am now sharing with you. This book will offer you some great information and hopefully a laugh or two. 
Finally, a way to get back outside, have a Braai (great new word for barbeque) with those we cherish can happen. I will show you how to get the most out of your time and regain the life you love.

The Pressure Cooker Cookbook

Laura Washburn Hutton

Create delicious slow-cooked flavours with affordable ingredients using minimal energy with over 50 pressure cooker recipes.

Pressure cookers enable the preparation of delicious meals cheaply, quickly and efficiently because the food is cooked in liquid at temperatures far higher than in a conventional saucepan, shortening cooking time by up to 70 per cent. After years in the culinary doldrums, the popularity of brands such as Instant Pot, has propelled all types of pressure-cooking gadgets back into favour and fashion. John Lewis says that purchases of pressure cookers have risen by 110 per cent, and their popularity is only set to continue with the current rises in energy prices and food costs.

The pressure-cooking method is brilliant at sealing in flavour, so cheaper ingredients can be used to great effect and since the cooking time is shorter you save on energy too, making it one of the most eco-friendly cooking methods available. Time savings are impressive – braising beef takes just 30 minutes, a chicken casserole can be ready in 15 minutes. Pulses and grains cook in a fraction of the time, so it's great news for veggies too. A John Lewis spokesman said: 'The cooking method often used by our parents and grandparents to tenderise cheaper cuts of meat is once again popular as thrifty, time-poor cooks rediscover the time and fuel-saving benefits of these marvellous machines' (Daily Mail October 2022).

Choose from over 50 recipes covering all tastes and occasions including Soups & Stocks, hearty Meat dishes, lighter Poultry & Seafood dishes, Vegetarian Dishes and Desserts.
