Dream Big Story time

Saturday, September 1st 2012 at 11:00 AM

We can really be anything we wish to be. Except maybe a real dinosaur.

We should cherish those things we dream of. Some people dream of running really fast and taking part in the Olympic games. Others dream of being wise and they become great leaders.

Today we are reading stories about dreams and trying our best, which is all it takes. And that we can be anything.

Pre-Order special offer on the forthcoming brand new Yotam Ottolenghi: Jerusalem

Saturday, September 1st 2012 at 10:09 AM

Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi are the men behind the bestselling Ottolenghi: The Cookbook. Their chain of restaurants is famous for its innovative flavours, stylish design and superb cooking.

At the heart of Yotam and Sami’s food is a shared home city: Jerusalem. Both were born there in the same year, Sami on the Arab east side and Yotam in the Jewish west. Nearly 30 years later they met in London, and discovered they shared a language, a history, and a love of great food.

Jerusalem sets 120 of Yotam and Sami’s inspired, accessible recipes within the cultural and religious melting pot of this diverse city. With culinary influences coming from its Muslim, Jewish, Arab, Christian and Armenian communities and with a Mediterranean climate, the range of ingredients and styles is stunning. From soups (spicy frikkeh soup with meatballs), meat and fish (chicken with caramelized onion and cardamom rice, sea bream with harissa and rose), vegetables and salads (spicy beetroot, leek and walnut salad), pulses and grains (saffron rice with barberries and pistachios), to cakes and desserts (clementine and almond syrup cake), there is something new for everyone to discover.

Packed with beautiful food and gorgeous photography, Jerusalem showcases sumptuous Ottolenghi dishes in a dazzling setting.

We are offering 20% off all pre-orders received before the September publication date. The published price will be R415, but we are offering it for just R332. Please mail us on booklounge@gmail.com, and we will send an invoice.
