Colouring in these stunning images of bears, wolves, birds, dolphins and many other creatures will soothe and relax you. Colouring has become a form of art therapy, as well as a way to help you explore your creativity. Sue Coccia's fascinating images reveal her deep connection to the animal kingdom that surrounds her in Washington State, USA. The drawings depict animal images, or totems, from around the world. Animal totems represent a deep spirituality and by beginning to understand animals' qualities and traits, we can learn from them. Most people already have a favourite animal that they identify with, even if they cannot always express why. Each artwork is drawn by hand: Sue chooses which animal to draw and plans the outline only in her mind, then begins drawing. She starts in the middle and works outwards, incorporating intricate imagery of other animals and nature, which are all connected to each other and to the main animal. Finally, she adds the outline, creating a spectacular, meaningful artwork. Look for the secret ladybird hiding in every image: she represents good luck, happiness and prosperity!

The act of being mindful is being aware of the present moment, and colouring can help you to achieve this. Colouring is a form of art therapy: you can use it as a meditative process in which you become intently aware of colours, designs and motifs. You are living in the moment and the concentration and repetitive nature of the simple art of colouring takes over as you gradually relax and become oblivious to the stresses and strains of everyday living. Mandalas, symbols of the cosmos, have for hundreds of years inspired those who gaze upon them. Colour Yourself to Mindfulness will give you inner calm and peace as you connect to the shapes and symbols that create these powerful images. Here we present 100 original designs of mandalas for Awareness, Forgiveness, Wisdom, Abundance, Creativity and Karma, among many other themes.

Umami is the super-savoury fifth basic taste. It is both ubiquitous and elusive, present but often unrecognized, and it has the extraordinary ability to enhance individual flavours, transporting dishes to another level. It is the taste that keeps on giving long after salty, sweet, bitter and sour flavours are spent. Umami is a Japanese word that translates as 'savoury deliciousness', but it is far from a Far Eastern concept. It is absolutely universal and does not belong to any single culture - it can be shared, enjoyed and appreciated by all those in possession of a tongue. Everyone has experienced it - the salted anchovy that melts into the tomato of a pizza, the irresistible marriage of pancetta and Parmesan in a creamy spaghetti carbonara or the rich, caramelized chorizo in a pan-fried calamari and chorizo salad. Once understood, umami is your best friend both in and out of the kitchen. Umami-rich ingredients will add magic to any dish, and make great cooks out of all of us.In this book, you'll discover extraordinary new flavour combinations in dishes such as baked Camembert with Parmigiano Reggiano and Roasted Cherry Tomatoes, Peppered Seared Tuna with Matcha Miso Vinaigrette and Coconut and Cardamom Butter Chicken. This book contains a taste of the wonder and magic of umami, and once bitten you will forever be smitten.

Winter is the perfect time to take a break from the pace of modern life, slow down and savour a nourishing home-cooked meal. It doesn't have to take hours - many recipes take a little preparation and can then be left to simmer, bake or roast to perfection. For this book, Lizzie Kamenetzky has taken inspiration from snow-covered mountains and Alpine chalets, with all her favourite food from ski towns and winter holidays. Start the day with a sustaining breakfast such as homemade Brioche or Pain aux Raisins before heading out into the cold. For lunch, only a hearty soup or stew will do - try French Onion Soup or Rocky Mountain Stew. Mid-afternoon, when fingers are numb, retreat to the warmth of indoors and enjoy a tea-time treat such as Madeleines or Banana Cake with a steaming cup of coffee. For evening entertaining, there are lots of comforting meaty recipes to try, such as Cassoulet, Confit Duck or Spaghetti Bolognese, as well as some lighter options, such as Chicken Liver Parfait or Parmesan Cheesecake. There is also a whole chapter devoted to those delightful cheese dishes that are so perfect in winter, from Fondue to Swiss Chard Gratin.For those with a sweet tooth, finish the meal with a Creme Brulee or Tarte Tatin. This is food for warming the soul, for snuggling up against the cold, for firesides and crackling logs, and for blankets in cosy winter cabins.
