A visual feast of one of Italy's most loved destinations Italy's most seductive island, Sicily, is located in the heart of the Mediterranean. Thanks to its rich history, Sicilian food has Italian as well as Greek, Spanish, French, and Arab influences. Now Italian aficionados, Katie and Giancarlo Caldesi, head to the island to immerse themselves in its diverse food scene. Starting in the capital, Palermo, the couple come across some exciting street food that features tasty Arancini (rice balls stuffed with meat sauce and cheese) to lesser know gems such as Panelle (garbanzo bean fritters), and Sfincione, a thick Sicilian pizza, topped with tomatoes, onions, anchovies, and casciocavallo cheese. In Trapani they try a fish couscous and then head to Noto, where almonds dominate in some memorable desserts, including a classic Semifreddo and a refreshing Almond Granita (served with fresh brioche, for dunking). Nor would any Sicilian book would be complete without Pasta Alla Norma (pasta with tomatoes and eggplants) and the classic, ricotta-filled sweet delight Cannoli.

If you look at the most inspirational innovators, athletes and icons throughout history, they all share a common belief - they simply do not entertain the notion of failure as a bad thing.

'Confidence is like a muscle: the more you use it, the stronger it gets.' - AnonConfidence is a key asset in life - from presentations at work to first dates, there are so many situations where a little confidence goes a long way. With tips on job interveiws, body language and making a great first impression, I Want to Be Confident contains straightforward, well-researched advice to improve anyone's confidence and self-esteem.Harriet Griffey identifies what it takes to improve confidence and offers practical tips on embracing our social and working lives and approaching our personal and professional relationships more positively, and in a way that authentically reflects who we are and what we want to achieve.In today's virtual, social networking world, there is a downside: online rather than personal interaction is creating a climate of social awkwardness and a lack of social confidence, particularly among young people. If we don't demonstrate our abilities or show our unique qualities, it's difficult to be confident about them. We need to practise to improve our confidence.

The harder we try to achieve happiness, the more elusive it becomes. In the process of trying, we find we are working harder, longer, and less productively, creating not happiness but stress and anxiety. What can be done? In I Want to Be Happy, Harriet Griffey shows how everyone can achieve happiness, whatever their age, and whether or not they have been born with 'the cheerful gene'. From resting to having fun, eating properly to getting a good night's sleep, there's a lot we can do to improve our happiness. Happiness is characterized by the ability to take pleasure from life. But what comes first, the pleasures to be actively sought, or the ability to take pleasure from what is already there? The art of happiness rests less in transitory moments of achievement or acquisition, but a deeper, more contented acceptance of what we already have, cherishing those small pleasures that perhaps we take for granted and removing some of those self-inflicted barriers to happiness that wheedle their way into our lives. Happiness is not just about relieving misery, counteracting stress, or reducing anxiety: it's also about protecting emotional and physical health by interacting more positively with the lives we lead.
