You don't often find the words "punk" and "quilting" in the same sentence, but Brave New Quilts by late craft blogger Kathreen Ricketson celebrates the quirky combination of contemporary culture and traditional crafting. With the goal of (painlessly) teaching design principles for quilters, Ricketson focuses on the use of line, colour, motif, and text. To illustrate each principle, she presents bold, bright quilts that evoke specific art movements: Cubist, Art Deco, Dada, Punk, Pop Art, and many others. While the designs are marked by difficulty level and accompanied by techniques and suggestions for quilters, Ricketson's modern style will inspire visual artists of all kinds.

According to Napoleon, an army marches on its stomach and it fights on its stomach too. Have you ever wondered how hundreds of men on the frontline are fed under fire or in the trench lines?

Feeding Tommy brings together recipes from the First World War with hints and tips from the Tommy Cook. Many recipes are illustrated with cartoons and drawings on how to assemble the perfect oven and kitchen tools at a moment's notice from nothing. This book is the perfect inspiration for those who like to create an amazing meal anywhere, anytime, from anything.

 Delectable and digestible recipes developed by Sue Shepherd, leading expert on the only diet proven to relieve symptoms of IBS. Meals should bring delight, not distress. But for those with irritable bowel syndrome that's not the case. Without knowing which foods trigger symptoms, many sufferers either rely on dull menus of a few trusted foods or eat without a plan, fearing the illness that may result. The Low-FODMAP diet cookbook presents a better way. By restricting FODMAPs (a set of difficult-to-digest carbs found in wheat, milk, beans, soy, and certain fruits, vegetables, nuts, and sweeteners), at least 75 percent of people with IBS, and many with other digestive conditions, can gain relief. The book's 150+ recipes from Banana Chocolate-Chip Muffins to Carrot and Ginger Soup to Pesto Margherita Pizza to Gingerbread Men are simple and satisfying, with options for every meal, course, and occasion. The only thing missing is the FODMAPs and you'd never know it!
