Preserved floral arrangements are cool again, and not only are they beautiful, they'll also last infinitely longer than fresh flowers. This gorgeous book offers a new approach to flower arranging with dried botanicals, exploring ways to preserve flowers’ beauty forever through drying and pressing, and then presents a catalogue of 30 flowers that are interesting for colour, texture and sculptural appeal in arrangements. 15 step-by-step projects then give you creative ideas for displaying dried flowers including bouquets, wreaths, wall hangings, wall art, flower crowns and buttonholes for weddings, terrariums, candles and more. These exquisite floral creations will give a bohemian and poetic touch to your interior décor and everlasting beauty to your home.

To Asia, with Love
For bestselling cookbook author Hetty McKinnon, Asian cooking is personal. McKinnon grew up in a home filled with the aromas, sights, and sounds of her Chinese mother's cooking. These days she strives to recreate those memories for her own family--and yours--with traditional dishes prepared in non-traditional ways. It's a sumptuous collection of creative vegetarian recipes featuring pan-Asian dishes that anyone can prepare using supermarket ingredients. Readers will learn how to make their own kimchi, chilli oil, knife-cut noodles, and dumplings. They'll learn about the wonder that is rice and discover how Asian-inspired salads are the ultimate crossover food. McKinnon offers tips for stocking your modern Asian pantry and explores the role that sweetness plays in Asian cultures. Her recipes are a celebration of the exciting and delicious possibilities of modern Asian cooking--from Smashed Cucumber Salad with Tahini and Spicy Oil, and Finger-lickin' Good Edamame Beans with Fried Curry Leaves, to Springtime Rolls with Miso Kale Pesto and Tamarind Apple Crisp. Featuring big, powerful flavours created from simple, fresh ingredients, these recipes are firmly rooted in the place where east meets west and where tradition charts the journey to the modern kitchen.

Own It: the Secret to Life
"Diane the Huntress" - Diane, die Jägerin: Ihr Spitzname stammt aus ihren wilden Jahren im New Yorker Studio 54. Diane Halfin wuchs in Brüssel als Tochter einer aus Griechenland stammenden Jüdin auf, die 1944 nach Auschwitz deportiert wurde und ihren Eltern schrieb, sie gehe "mit einem Lächeln". Und so erzieht sie auch ihre Tochter: als Frau, die sich weigert, Opfer zu sein, und von ihrem Kind erwartet, dass es seine Chancen nutzt. Diane verinnerlicht dies und legt bis heute Wert auf ihre Unabhängigkeit. Ihre Ehe mit Eduard Egon Prinz zu Fürstenberg, an dessen Seite sie ein ausschweifendes Jetset-Leben führt und der Vater ihrer Kinder wird, währt nur zwei Jahre. Nach ihrer Scheidung entwirft sie Strickkleider und beginnt ihr eigenes Geschäft aufzubauen. 1973 bringt sie das berühmte Wickelkleid heraus, das sich als so stilbildend erweist, dass es heute im Metropolitan Museum of Art ausgestellt ist. Als eine der einflussreichsten Frauen ihrer Generation, die sich nach Rückschlägen stets neu erfand, wird sie zur Verkörperung des Prinzips, das die Mutter ihr mitgegeben hat: "Du trägst die Fahne der Freiheit."

Happy Sexy Millionaire
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERWe are losing ourselves. We're chasing the wrong things, asking the wrong questions, and polluting our minds. It's time to stop, it's time to resist and it's time to rethink the fundamental social blueprint that our lives are built upon.'As an 18-year-old, black, broke, lonely, insecure, university drop-out, from a bankrupt family, I wrote in my diary that I wanted to be a 'Happy Sexy Millionaire' by the age of 25. By 25 I was a multi-millionaire having created a business worth over $300m dollars. Ironically, in achieving everything I set out to, I learnt that I was wrong about almost everything... The world had lied to me. It lied to me about how you attain fulfilment, love and success, why those things matter, and what those words actually mean. In this book, I'll dismantle the most popular, unaddressed lies about happiness that we've been led to believe. I'll expose the source of these lies, examine the incentives that fuel them and replace them with a practical set of scientifically proven and unconventional ideas that will help you to live a truly fulfilled life, a life full of the love you seek and the success you deserve.''This book will change your life if you let it.' - Tom Bilyeu, Co-Founder/CEO of Impact Theory & Co-Founder of Quest Nutrition
