MURDOCH BOOKS NEW BOOKS NOVEMBER 2018 SPECIAL GUEST Recipes for the happily imperfect host ANNABEL CRABB AND WENDY SHARPE
The fraternal twin of Special Delivery—a cookbook for anyone who ever felt like punching a wall before their guests arrive
If you are someone who prepares for guests by sweeping laundry behind sofa cushions, take heart! It's possible to be an imperfect host, but happily so. The essential ingredient is not the food, nor the perfect house, but the sentiment you convey when you open the door. Do your eyes say: 'I like you and I enjoy your company,' or does a weepy cloud of visceral horror descend as pine nuts burn quietly in the kitchen?
Special Guest is a gentle guide to turning basic fare into something of a celebration. For when you want to say to your friends with their spouses and children, 'Why don't you stay for lunch?' without hating yourself afterwards. Learn the lesson of 'one splendid thing done well' without regard to the hundred other things, and call the day a success. Pick up pointers for the modern conundrum that is cooking for seemingly incompatible dietary requirements. Hosting your friends is not about showing off; it is about delighting others. Your dining table might be decorated with a pile of unmatched socks and kids' homework, but that's no reason not to invite friends in for a chat, a sit-down and something delicious to eat.

An inspirational and practical how-to guide for people keen to attract fauna into their garden: for their own enjoyment and as a contribution to the health and sustainability of the environment
In a world where suburban nature is declining and diversity is shrinking, Habitat is a practical how-to guide for gardeners Australia-wide who want to encourage insects, reptiles, birds and animals into their outdoor spaces.
