Murdoch Books - 365 Good Reasons to Sit Down to Eat


This book by Stephane Reynaud has some wonderful recipes and I'm going to share one of them with you. The team at Murdoch Books are taking up the challenge to cook all 365 of the recipes. I'll let you know how they go. Thanks to Marianne for the information she constantly sends me. Here's the link for the recipe which is November 11, one day before my birthday!

Murdoch Books - Grillhouse


My contact at Murdoch Books, Marianne, has alerted me to the fact that I can get some recipes from a couple of their latest books on to our blog............we'll to give you the link. Here's the first of them from a wonderful new title "Grillhouse" by Ross Dobson. And this is what the book looks like. I wouldn't mind feedback on how well (or not) this works.

Liz Dunoon

'Helping Children with Dyslexia' is a book that has been a long time coming. Liz Dunoon came to our notice because she is proactive and rather than wait for the distributor to make contact with us about her book, she did. Visit her website and look at what is being done to help children and adults. Here's the link.

Dr Ann Dettrick

This coming Thursday (September 9th at 11 am) we will have Dr Dettrick in the bookshop to sign copies of her new book. 'A History of Medicine in Gippsland' is a very interesting collection of stories about doctors and nurses in the Gippsland area from the early 1800s to the early 1900s. Anyone interested in the history of this area will be in for a good read.
