There is a moment every morning when the countryside takes a pause. The birds stop singing, the dogs choke back their barks, & cats pause mid-stride. Everything waits. It’s in this vacuum that a man working alone has the best chance of finding truffles. The plot of land was perfect, just what theyd been looking for, offering expansive views across the valley & within walking distance of the local village. There was only one small problem, there was no house.

And yet the land was affordable & came, the agent promised, with a possible income from a copse of truffle oaks. Just after the birth of their first daughter, after leaving the London rat race behind, here was a chance for Jamie & his wife to finally realise their dream of owning a property. With one final salivating glance at the oak trees the decision was made. All they needed now was a dog. & their quest to find & train a truffle dog turns out to be as full of hidden discoveries as a truffle hunt itself.

With delicious humour & superb storytelling, Ten Trees & a Truffle Dog is sure to delight anyone who loves dogs, food & rural France.

Based on sound science, Ten Years Thinnerexplains how the experts have had it wrong for decades.

Dr Lydon has discovered that the best way to burn body fat is not through eliminating food groups & long, miserable sessions on the treadmill after all, instead, for quick results that last, it is best to burn calories with brief bouts of high intensity activity & to work with your metabolism rather than against it. This is different from other diet books because rather than attempting to defy natural laws, this book harnesses them. Its not a fad or a quick-fix, but a sustainable, friendly lifestyle plan. ...
