New hardback.

You can discover tagines of chicken or lamb, enhanced by preserved lemons, prunes and olives. You can enjoy fresh, tangy salads such as Artichoke Hearts with Ginger and Honey, and delectable snacks such as Mini Saffron Fish Cakes. It includes drinks and rich desserts, such as Sweet Couscous with Rose-scented Fruit Compote. Every recipe is clearly explained, and an introduction describes all the ingredients and cooking techniques. Moroccans are well known for their love of wonderful food and generous hospitality, and this book will provide all the inspiration you need to follow their example. 058113

The School of Night
Bayard, Louis John Murray 2011 1848542186 / 9781848542181 First Edition Hardcover New New Book 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall
New first edition, first printing. Not previously owned. Both the book and dust jacket are in excellent, fine condition. RRP. £17.99. 338pp. A shared quest and a mysterious cabal, four centuries apart. When Henry Cavendish attends the funeral of an old friend, the last thing he expects is to be given a business proposition. A handsome sum to retrieve a document that was in his friend's possession when he died - a letter from Sir Walter Raleigh. Henry accepts the challenge, despite severe misgivings about his sinister new employer. Four centuries earlier, in Elizabethan England, another quest is playing out. Thomas Harriot, once a member of the mysterious School of Night, a group whose members included the toast of Elizabethan society, has shut himself off from the world. Working day and night, he devotes himself secretly to his experiments. As both searches deepen, the two men realise that there are forces at work against them. Harriot's work is threatened by discovery and Henry's search becomes a deadly one, when someone close to him dies in mysterious circumstances. The School of Night is the story of a quest that spans centuries, of alliances forged in unexpected circumstances and of men who will stop at nothing to get what they want. The dust jacket is supplied by us in a loose protective clear archival film sleeve. This does not adhere to the book or jacket in any way and it protects the jacket against wear. 300726

Happy Birthday Madame Chapeau
Beaty, Andrea ; pictures by David Roberts Abrams New York 2014 1419712195 / 9781419712197 First Edition Hardcover New New Book 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall
New hardback. First impression. In excellent, fine condition. UK RRP £10.99. Slim children's picture book. Unpaginated. In a three-story house with a shop down below, lived the world's finest hat maker, Madame Chapeau. Like the Lady herself, all her hats were refined. Brilliantly singular. One of a kind. So begins Andrea Beaty's new rhyming picture book about a hat maker adored by her friends and neighbours. On her birthday, Madame Chapeau wears the perfect bonnet made by her late husband. The dust jacket is supplied by us in a loose protective clear archival film sleeve. This does not adhere to the book or jacket in any way and it protects the jacket against wear. But on the way to her birthday dinner, a crow snatches her hat and flies away with it, leaving Mme. Chapeau sans bonnet. As she chases the crow, everyone around her begins to follow her, offering their own hats for her to wear. None of them are quite right for Madame Chapeau, though, until one special little girl offers her a hat "knitted with love and [her] best birthday wish." What appears "rather odd" to Mme Chapeau at first is actually the perfect gift for her. A delightful story about love, community and friendship, with some fancy hats and a birthday thrown in for good measure. 306252
