| Description: |
This unique book presents delicious recipes from witches around the world. Every dish has one thing in common: the main ingredients are children! The text is written with a variety of voices, each more preposterous than the last and written to appeal to children, but with many jokes that will make this a hit with adults too. It is illustrated throughout with stunning drawings of the witches and their dishes. |
| Synopsis: |
This unique book presents delicious recipes from witches around the world. Every dish has one thing in common: the main ingredients are children! Many witches have contributed, from Barfa Stew-Wart in the United States, India's favourite Kideeta Skingh and Britain's own Janie Groviller.Featuring a short introduction to each recipe by the general editor Esmelia Sniff (who despises all her contributors and also suffers from severe incontinence), each witch introduces herself (giving a little backstory) and presents her recipe.The text is written with a variety of voices, each more preposterous than the last and written to appeal to children, but with many jokes that will make this a hit with adults too. The darkness of the subject matter is offset with laugh-out-loud humour and the absurdity of the witches' characters. Designed to resemble a witchy version of a modern cookbook, it is illustrated throughout with stunning drawings of the witches and their dishes.This title presents an hilarious send up of an established format. It is superbly illustrated. It will appeal to children and adults alike. It makes laugh-out-loud funny. |

Solar
Michael Beard is a Nobel prize-winning physicist whose best work is behind him. Trading on his reputation, he speaks for enormous fees and half-heartedly heads a government-backed initiative tackling global warming. A compulsive womaniser, Beard finds his fifth marriage floundering. But this time it is different.

Molotov's Magic Lantern
When Rachel Polonsky went to live in Moscow, she found an apartment block in Romanov Street. One apartment had been Vyacheslav Molotov's, Stalin's henchman. Molotov was ruthless - and an ardent bibliophile. Rachel visited cities and landscapes associated with the books in his library. In each place, she encountered the spirit of great artists such as Chekhov, Dostoevsky, Pushkin, Akhmatova - and the terrible past of a country ravaged by war, famine, and totalitarianism.

Love Bites
Prompted partly by gastronomic curiosity and partly by sheer greed, Mr H entered the kitchen with Mrs H as his guide. The result is perhaps the most honest food book ever written. It is certainly one of the funniest.
