Not smoked or injected, but absorbed sublingually & slowly, Scandalous Metropolitan is an undemanding fix of the coolest city in the world
- something to browse through, there on the shelf when you need it. This book is a collection of Tokyo 'stuff'. Street photography is the key ingredient, but it's not a photography book. The scrapbook concept comes close; we'd rather steer clear of the craft, memorabilia & PH-neutral paper image it brings to mind. It will cater to those with an interest in the city, & those with an obsession. It won't explain Japanese pop culture & fashion in pedantic detail because it's 2008 & the world already knows all it needs to about that. Text will be present, to add to the imagery, but for the most part it's entirely visual. The imagery is chronologically organised (loosely over a 24-hour period), & each spread is tightly themed around a topic. It captures that which makes Tokyo unique: glowing vending machines, quirky shops, whiskey bars & the streets after the night before are all in; cliches such as geisha, temples & Harajuku street fashion are out.

Bronte Aurell, owner of the Scandi Kitchen Cafe in London, brings her famous flair to over 65 Scandinavian-style recipes that perfectly capture the joy of summer eating. In the warmer months we crave food that is often naturally lighter & nourishing. Scandinavians do summer food so well
- it is wholesome, flavoursome, simple to make & sumptuous to look at. In Scandinavian culture, eating well is all about `lagom` or balance
- everything in moderation. Try the tempting breakfast ideas such as Blueberry Porridge. Sharing plates such as Smoked Mackerel Rillettes with Rye Crisps are ideal for grazing, while satisfying larger plates include Herbed Pork Tenderloin with Hasselback Potatoes or Danish Plaice with Remoulade. The all-important cake & fika recipes include a Midsummer Strawberry Cake & Skinny Lemon Muffins. A classic Sourdough Rye Loaf & Seeded Crispbread with Dried Nettles are on offer in the breads chapter, & tempting desserts include a Swedish Mess with Cloudberries, plus there are some refreshing summer drinks to sip, such as a traditional aquavit cocktail. Also included are Bronte`s fascinating insights into Scandinavian summer traditions & celebrations.

A follow-up to the successful ` The Scandi Kitchen` (published September 2015), this new book from Bronte Aurell features over 60 recipes for cakes, bakes & treats from all over Scandinavia. From indulgent cream confections to homely & comforting fruit cakes & traditional breads, sweet buns & pastries. FIKA is a Swedish word meaning to meet up for a cup of coffee or tea over something delicious. It is also the word for the delicious treats themselves. Swedes traditionally stop twice a day for fika: taking a much-needed break from the daily grind. People fika with family, colleagues, friends, children & even go on fika dates. HYGGE (pronounced hue-guh) is a word that originated in Norway but is now mainly used in Denmark. It means `a sublime state of cosiness you feel when you are with loved ones & nothing else matters`. Hygge can be enhanced by the addition of a log fire, a good film, a cup of something warm & a sweet treat...hence the ideal combination of the two terms. Chapters are divided into Biscuits & Cookies, Tray & No bakes, Everyday Fika, Little Fancy Cakes, Celebration Cakes & Bread & Batters. This beautifully illustrated, authentic guide is a celebration of Scandinavian baking in all its glory. It is evocative of cosy days shared with friends, slowing down & taking the time to enjoy simple, homemade, wholesome pleasures
- encouraging a lifestyle to aspire to. With features on special Scandi winter celebrations, their baking traditions & how to bring fika & hygge into your life.
