Elyse Major has created a second charming collection of the easy-to-makeprojects that she calls ‘tinkered treasures’. Using items from the seashore,holiday essentials, and things you will already have in your home, she hasrecreated the feeling of summer in these beautiful souvenirs of days spent bythe sea. Mermaids made from laundry pegs, shell-topped jars, a beach cottagebuilt from lolly sticks, or a windchime constructed from sticks and shells, arejust some of the unique ideas to help you keep your happy summer memoriesalive throughout the year. Many of the projects use recycled materials, and‘tinkering’ requires no specialist tools, equipment or techniques – anyone can do it! As well as the 35 projects, there are ‘Fancy This’ alternatives formany of the items, substituting different materials or changing the colours for a different look.

HELEN GRAVESruns the immensely popular Food Storiesblog, where her unpretentious, no BSapproach to cooking has won her alegion of fans. Visit Helen’s website at www.helengraves.co.uk.

Get a head start in the dating game with this look at the relationship between food and romance,and the big part it plays in any quest for love (or lust). Shakespeare claimed music was the foodof love, which is a pretty ridiculous statement as food is clearly the food of love. In this case, theBard is definitely talking out of his unquestionably eloquent backside. Anyway, as food is the foodof love, it’s the perfect accompaniment to days and nights spent wooing members of the oppositesex (or same sex, we’re not here to judge). If you spend even a short amount of time with theobject of your desire, there’s good chance food will be involved. Whatever the reason for the twoof you eating together, there’s no doubt a story that goes with it or a recipe to share, and that’swhat Cook Your Date Into Bed does. It looks at the relationship between hooking up and eatingout, gives tasty recipes for dinners, snacks, breakfasts and cocktails you can make yourself, andalso laughs at the ridiculousness of the whole process. After all, most situations can be dealt withvia the introduction of food, or booze, and dating is no different. So let us begin.

• There are 15 million single people in the UK alone.

• Nearly 40% of men don’t feel confident going on a first date, so increase your confidenceby using the recipes offered in this book.

• Helen has recently been nominated in the Food Writing category at this year’s Young BritishFoodie awards.
