I find Lee Watson's Peace & Parsnips especially inspiring, full of original ideas and bold flavours ... [it] contains so many recipes I want to cook from.

This wonderful vegan cookbook.......is packed full of recipes, inspiration and stunning photography....... It might be the best looking vegan cookbook we've seen.

Very vegan.....This vibrant book is great if you'd like to have a go at vegan cooking. The recipes are tempting and aren't in the slightest bit daunting, and author Lee Watson is charming and funny - 'not preachy' - in his approach in spreading the word of veganism.

The same extraordinary vision and timing that enabled Reid to found LinkedIn is once again on display with his book The Start-up of You. His central thesis, that every individual can benefit from acting as the entrepreneur of their own life and career, has never been more important than it is in today's increasingly globalized, competitive, and networked world.
