Bob Dixon spent years 'on the Beat' as a police constable in the Metropolitan Police Force in the early 1960s witnessing all manner of incidents, from the serious to the ludicrous. Spending the majority of his time in London's infamous East end dealing with drunks, fatalities on the road, domestic disputes & even suicides, as well as policing at major public events such as Guy Fawkes night, New Year's Eve & anti-Vietnam War marches, life was colourful & varied, if not always safe. Bobby on the Beat is the true memoir of a real-life London copper, charting Bob Dixon's experiences as a young police officer before he joined the CID. The book covers his life before joining the Force, his rigorous training, the vagaries of first patrolling the Beat, the numerous accounts, sad & funny, of crime fighting in the capital, the lighter side of policing & how he feels the police force has changed since the 60s. Offering unique insights into a world many of us do not feel comfortable entering, Bobby on the Beat uncovers what life is really like for those brave few who help keep our streets safe. ...

Italy is a land of appetite, where life is embraced with passion, & food prepared with generosity & joy. But the cuisine is hard to define, as each region has its own rich culinary traditions & so deep is the belief of locals that their food is the best, that often Italy's finest dishes are unknown from one place to the next.

Like the menu at Bocca di Lupo, Jacob's award-winning London restaurant, this book is a thrilling, exotic journey through the true flavours of Italy: the hearty risotti of the north, the exquisite shellfish of the Veneto, the earthy sausages of Bologna, the fried street food of Rome, the baroque desserts of Naples & the Arab-influenced sweets of Sicily. ...
