Pasta Grannies - Comfort Cooking
€27.50
Spending time with our family and friends has never felt so important - and so often this means cooking for the ones you love. Who better to take inspiration from than Pasta Grannies who have spent their lifetimes plating up comfort and connection. Vicky Bennison, the author of the bestselling Pasta Grannies cookbook, brings you more heart-warming recipes and stories from our favourite Italian grandmothers in this easy-to-follow, crowd-pleasing recipe book that shows you how to make authentic Italian food that everyone will enjoy.
Discover 91-year-old Pina's chestnut gnocchi with walnut pesto, lovingly made with ingredients she grows around her home in Liguria; or 99-year-old Marietta's special tagliatelle recipe, which is not really a recipe at all but a reflection of her vegetable garden, the Calabrian countryside and the changing seasons. As well as meat, seafood, and vegetable pasta recipes, chapters cover pizzas, pastries and pies, rice and pulses, dairy and herbs, nuts and spices. Every recipe is accompanied by a QR code which, once scanned, will take you directly to the YouTube videos of these remarkable women and their recipes.
Complete with stunning location and recipe photography throughout, with a clear guide to pasta making by hand, Pasta Grannies: Comfort Cooking is not only a celebration of cooking and feasting together, but it is also an insight into their lives, and a joyous slice of the Italian way of life.

Mind And Body Book
€22.00
A practical and playful guide to balancing and maintaining physical and mental harmony.
The modern world can present the body as a machine that just needs to be regularly exercised. However, it is a remarkably sensitive organ in which a lot of our pain and hope is stored and that we need to interpret and handle with subtlety. This impact of our body upon our mind is something that needs to be explored as it is easy to pay attention to one more than the other and to ignore the crucial balance between the two.

How to Overcome Your Childhood Book
€14.00
We don’t have to remain prisoners of the past, but in order to liberate ourselves from our histories we must first become fully aware of them.
How to overcome your childhood is an English book by The School of Life about such a liberation. We learn about how character is developed, the concept of ‘emotional inheritance’, the formation of our concepts of being ‘good’ or ‘bad’ and the impact of parental styles of love on the way we choose adult partners. We learn too about how we might evolve emotionally and, in particular, how we may sometimes need to have a breakdown in order to have a breakthrough.
We are left with a powerful sense that building up an emotionally successful adult life is possible so long as we reflect with sufficient imagination and compassion on what happened to us a long while back.
Topics Include:
- Emotional Inheritance – How emotional problems are handed down from parent to child
- The Golden Child Syndrome – How too much love from our parents can be just as damaging as too little
- Over-Achievement – How we compensate for emotional neglect through worldly success
- Splitting – How we fail to reconcile between the good and bad aspects of our parents
- Soothing – How we still require the kinds of affection we received as children
- Becoming an Adult – How recognising our immaturity is the key to growth
