Li nde n How often do you think about the power of touch? Holding hands with your partner, patting your colleague on the back, brushing your child’s hair. According to renowned neuroscientist David J. Linden, everyone and everything we touch has an impact on our social development. Though we often measure the richness of life through sight and sound, touch is the first sense to develop in the utero; it is the sense that makes us human. Consequently, deprivation of touch shows lifelong impacts, including higher stress levels and lower confidence. With astonishing research and story-telling, Linden explains why warm drinks improve our positivity, why brushing fingers with the waiter will result in a larger tip, and how touch can change your personal and professional life. Plenty More Yotam Ottolenghi Spearheading the vegetarian revolution, and confirming that you certainly can make friends with salad, Israeli chef Yotam Ottolenghi has released his sixth cookbook Plenty More. And plenty more there is. Chaptered by cooking techniques (tossed, braised, fried, mashed, etc.), Ottolenghi explores an enormous range of exquisite worldly flavours that harbour the perfect balance between exoticism and suitability for home cooking. In channelling the sweet and earthy flavours of the Middle East, and keeping it all meat-free, Ottolenghi’s latest book will be a huge hit among avid vegos and omnivores, families, singles, and anyone who wants to visit Israel-influenced cooking with a vigorously healthy edge.
