My Italian Granny’s Cooking

Mariangela Di Fiore

Mariangela di Fiore spent all her summers with her grandparents in Naples, where her granny taught her real Italian cooking. In this book you will find a wealth of good recipes from Granny's kitchen, combined with stories from Mariangela's childhood in Naples. We hear about fresh fish kept swimming in the bath-tub right until they were prepared, Saints Day celebrations in the town and the story of the Mafia boss who revealed his hiding place because he bought expensive fish at the market. The book is divided by different themes with corresponding recipes: Seafood (Granny's spaghetti with cockles, devilish king prawns, stuffed squid); The poor man's kitchen (pasta with garlic, stuffed tomatoes, oven-baked artichokes); A taste of summer (bruschetta, pennine with fresh tomato sauce, rice salad); Sweets (sfogliatelle, torta caprese); A day at the beach (bread roll with aubergine and tomato, squash with mint and vinegar dressing); last but not least: wonderful recipes for snacks, pizza, antipasti, supper and fish. Enjoy the tastes and smells and cook real Italian food, seasoned with delightful stories. Score 5/6! ‘ … masses of inspiration and lots of good recipes for Italian cuisine.’ VG

Second Best

Gudmund Skjeldal

Gold, silver and bronze medals were first given to Olympic winners in St. Louis, USA, in 1904. But why these particular metals? Did the idea come from the USA? Does the inspiration stretch right back to antiquity? Or is the tradition more recent, from royal and state medals?Gudmund Skjeldal took second place in the 50 km ski race at Holmenkollen in 1993, after being in the lead up to the last kilometre. The story of this race forms the framework for his personal explorations of the history of gold, silver and bronze.A bronze medallist is often happy at having only just missed the silver. It's worse to be a silver medallist, who could so nearly have been the Olympic champion. Like Juha Mieto at the Olympic Games at Lake Placid in 1980, one hundredth of a second behind the gold medallist in the cross-country ski race. Gold is both a crowning achievement and a curse. The gymnast Nadia Comaneci scored a perfect 10.0 at the Olympic Games in Montreal in 1976. She won three gold medals at the age of fourteen. After perfection, what next?Gudmund Skjeldal is a critically acclaimed author who writes about the history of ideas. As a former member of the national ski team, he is the ideal person to write this book. 'It’s a thrilling run and a pure pleasure to read.'RUNNER'S WORLD'… draws us into the story to share the sense of defeat.’BERGENS TIDENDE ’Gudmund Skjeldal succeeds in combining entertaining stories about athletics with a moral message for our time … Skjeldal’s gentle, intelligent prose is observant, thoughtful and vivid social critique at its best.’MORGENBLADET

Klara Bøe / Petter Henriksen

Cheeky Monkeys and Little Angels

Stein Erik Ulvund

Many people like to think there is a definitive way of bringing up children, but there is not.This book is about children's different temperaments and how you can use this knowledge in your parenting.A child's temperament has a great influence on how it is brought up. An outgoing child will be met with negative reactions, and thus starts the vicious circle. An accommodating child will be met with positive reactions and do well. In this sense children contribute to their own development, but it is the parents who are chiefly responsible for how their lives are.Temperament is significant for how you relate to a child who will not sleep or eat, how you tackle cleanliness and what to do if Your child does not have friends. A means of doing this with multiple children is also illuminated.The point is that there is not one way of approaching children, you need to adapt your parenting for your child! This book is based on the very latest research. The triumph of temperament ‘This is a successful “do-it-yourself” book with a lot of thought-provoking advice for parents who feel that they don’t particularly understand their child.’FORSKERFORUM ‘This is an easily read and accessible textbook with interesting and useful material for both professionals and parents.’UTDANNING

Kenneth Ingebretsen / Tommy Tønsberg

Make use of the season with mini greenhouses, juggle with early and late crops, and use the space you have by combining what is useful with what is beautiful in exciting mixed pots.

Strong Tranquility

Anders Meland

Stillhetens råskap will give you insight into what mindfulness training is and how it can help you to achieve more. Mindfulness gives you the resilience and strength you need to be able to stand firm in chaotic or unpleasant situations. Mindfulness gives you insight into who you are behind your thoughts and feelings, and so gives you a quiet place where you can feel safe. Mindfulness enables you to base your choices on something more than just impulses, desires, wishes, fear or belief. You use less energy on things you can do nothing about and more energy on the here and now, on quality of life and on getting things done. Mindfulness is attention to the present situation, or as the author says: you are aware of the situation without passing judgement. This book gives you all you need to start mindfulness training. You also get access to unique sound-files with guided exercises by scanning a QR bar-code. Mindfulness can develop psychological strength and robustness and a capacity for achievement far beyond what other known methods can do. The author has practical experience and starts from new results of research on mindfulness. He gives examples from top athletes and from the armed forces and shows how we ‘ordinary' people can learn from their experience. Simply and imaginatively written by a young author who researches the results of mindfulness training among high achievers.
