This is by far one of the most beautiful cookbooks I own. Tessa, born in London to a Finnish mother and a Cypriot father moved to South Africa at the age of four. She currently lives in Italy. This cookbook weaves Finnish, Greek, S African and Italian cuisine with extras from other travels. My copy is completely stained from use. The photographs are amazing.

Just completed the Foreign Service Officer Assessment today, a grueling conclusion to a grueling hiring process (technically it's not over, even if I did pass 😵💫). If all goes well the tagged book could be the title of my autobiography one day. 😀
I‘m only 10% into this one and I‘m really struggling. Such an interesting topic but there‘s so many characters and threads that I‘m finding it almost impossible to follow. I‘d like to finish this but it may be a dnf
This short story is part of the Dominio anthology and my favourite so far. I'm not much of a horror fan, but I loved the atmosphere and Desee's journey, even if it was a painful one.
I'm counting this as my entry for Nigeria for #readingafrica2022
Not sure this is the right book for Christmas 2021….. might have to rethink my presentation! 🤣
This journey was amazing. I was pulled instantly and shared in all of Hamid's struggles and accomplishments. And what is so striking to me is that it is written by a Jewish American. It just shows her level of empathy and honesty when she writes about the atrocities toward Israeli Arabs. #Palestine #ReadingAsia2021 @BarbaraBB @Librarybelle
Having a week of putting vegetables centre stage - Diane Henry has some lovely recipes in this book - this one was lovely - garlicky, salty and loaded with fennel, chilli and herbs 👍🏼
**Review only of Ife-Iyoku, the Tale of Imadeyunuagbon
novella by Oghenechovwe Donald Ekpeki, Nebula finalist**
This post-apocalyptic work of Africanfuturism features a small community of survivors with strange powers but plagued by population decrease and reliant on traditional gender hierarchy. I found the “last woman”/rape aspects troubling to say the least—it felt rushed, a little titillating, unfinished, and written from a man‘s perspective.
