24.01.2022 We have a fantastic line up of guests for our Beyond Words Bookclub discussion this Tuesday 27th October at 6pm via ZOOM. We will be discussing Craig Silvey’s new novel Honeybee. Meri Fatin as facilitator will be joined by Alyce Shotte (TransFolk of WA), Geraldine Blake and Sam Carmody (author of The Windy Season). Similar in style to the ABC Tuesday bookclub with Jennifer Byrne, this will run on the 4th Tuesday of every month, and is a great opportunity for people to be part... of a bookclub. Meri Fatin sums up what this bookclub is all about: We’ll be choosing books that have strong themes, and a panel to match, so our discussion will extend from the detail of the storytelling to the importance, relevance and impact of the themes themselves. Geraldine’s review of Honeybee: "Honeybee is proof of the value and validity of fiction, and the brilliance of authors who can successfully portray life experiences far beyond their own. What a gift that is to readers. And what a gift this book will be to any young person suffering the way that Sam did." Tickets $10. Hope to see you there.

01.01.2022 All you fellow cookbook addicts and fans of the marvellous Ottolenghi will be delighted to hear that his gorgeous new book has just arrived in the store. The third in his series about vegetables, he says, " Flavour is about what makes vegetables distinct, and, accordingly, devising ways in which their flavours can be ramped up and tasted afresh; its about creating flavour bombs, especially designed for veg." What perfect timing for all that fresh spring produce about to appear in the farmers markets and greengrocers. Featuring such delights as Aubergine Dumplings Alla Parmigiana, Noodle Salad with Mushroom & Peanut Larb, Bkeila Potato & Butterbean Stew, and Watermelon & Strawberry Sorbet, you will want to start cooking the minute you open this book - so call in and collect your copy now!
