Summary

How do you like your tea? A guide to the art and science of this ancient culinary comfort. 
 
In How to Make Tea, tea experts Brian Keating and Kim Long will teach you everything you need to know to make your desired cup. We’ve been drinking tea for thousands of years, yet few of us realize that all tea types—from elegant lapsang to pungent pu-erh—come from the same plant. But how are there so many different styles?  
 
It comes down to science: geography, biology, chemistry, and physics; the application of heat and pressure; and the magic of time and enzymes. How to Make Tea breaks down these elements and lays out the techniques, tools, and methods needed to brew at home. With this guide, tea lovers of all stripes will become experts on the art and science of tea—and learn to extract the best from every cup.

    These Delicious Recipes Will Protect Your Heart And Your Brain 
    This collection of two cookbooks is a lifesaver for you.Fad diets come and go. One year everyone is going low-fat, the next year everyone’s trying to reach ketosis by eating bacon and butter, then everyone’s suddenly obsessed with juices… and judging by the fact that the obesity epidemic is still there, most of these miracle diets don’t work. 
    However, scientists decided to cut through the noise of dietary trends. They took the diets with proven health benefits and tried to find what really made them effective. 
    Here’s what they’ve found. 
     All scientifically proven healthy diets encourage you to eat less meat, more veggies, and more healthy oils. You don’t have to go fully vegan but most of your food should be plant-based.This prevents heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and some cancers. 
     But how do you start eating healthier? If you’re not a professional cook, chances are that you know about five recipes and most of them are either meat-based or something like mac and cheese. 
    These two books will expand your culinary horizons and teach you healthy cooking. The first one focuses on the scientifically approved Mediterranean diet whereas the second book offers a variety of strictly vegan recipes. 
     Here’s what makes these books special: 
    ·     The variety of recipes: you’ll find both timeless classics and fun, creative meals 
    ·     Rich colorful illustrations 
    ·     Precise step-by-step directions 
    ·     No advanced cooking skills or special equipment needed 
    ·     Expert tips on how to modify the recipes according to your taste 
     If you’re not ready for a fully vegan diet, you’ll still find the vegan cookbook valuable.

    The heartwarming and hilarious part-memoir, part-guide from comedian and father-of-six Ashley Blaker, on parenting, adoption and raising children with special needs. 
    ‘A funny, irreverent and loving book’ Daily Express 
    ‘We had such a variety of experts visiting our home, we really needed a revolving door. All these professionals would watch our son playing while shaking their heads and making tutting sounds, like builders considering a bad job you wanted them to fix. “Tut tut tut. No speech, disordered social skills, sensory issues. This is going to cost you!!”’ 
    Ashley Blaker has six children, three of whom have an SEN diagnosis. Between endless meetings, countless therapists, public humiliations, failed playdates, surreal monologues and occasional violence, it’s certainly not what anyone would call a ‘normal’ household – but would he want it any other way? 
    Normal Schmormal is part-memoir, part how-to guide, highlighting the many challenges, as well as the hugely rewarding elements, of parenting children with additional needs. Written with humour, compassion and a lot of love, it’s a must-read for parents, carers and teachers of children with SEN, either looking for a bit of support or in need of a very big laugh. 
    In Normal Schmormal, Ashley Blaker, a father and comedian, takes us on a humorous and heartwarming journey through the challenges and rewards of raising children with special needs. This latest autobiography is a must-read for parents, carers, and teachers alike, offering a unique perspective on fatherhood, family, and fostering relationships with children with disabilities. 
    For fans of Eliza Fricker (Nurturing Your Autistic Young Person), Ellie Middleton (UNMASKED), Lisa C. Qualls (Faith, Hope, & Connection), Catherine L. Abbott (Mindful Parenting for Autistic Children), and Steph Curtis (PDA in the Family).

If a businesswoman licks her lips during a meeting, should she be fired without pay? Is a girlfriend just another unpaid sex worker? The answers to these and other harassing questions can be found in this indispensable guide that ensures you are equipped with the proper terminology to impress the right-minded and stay out of jail—             or bed.
