Expressed with Passion

Written by: Marjorie

When expression is infused with passion it is so much easier to take in knowledge, be engrossingly entertained and intrepidly inspired – even if the subject matter holds no interest to you or at first, even the presenter! Think Nigella Lawson, Steve Irwin, Karl Kruszelnicki and Suze Orman.

I offer a selection of their books below that I feel in one way or another would stimulate your passion!

Feast - Nigella Lawson

A feast for the eyes and the senses and now available in a handsome paperback edition, FEAST is a must for every kitchen. In the style and Feasttradition of Nigella’s classic HOW TO EAT, it applies those same ‘Pleasures and Principles of Good Food’ to celebrations from feast days to everyday happiness.

Essentially about families and food, about public holidays and private passions, about how to celebrate the small pleasures as well as the big occasions, it includes everything from Christmas, Thanksgiving , Hanukkah and Eid, to Passover and Easter; from Meatless Feasts to Midnight Feasts, from weddings to funerals, from kitchen feasts to kids’ favourites, from Partytime to the ultimate Chocolate Cake Hall of Fame.

Heartwarming, passionate, informed, refreshingly uncomplicated and full of ideas, FEAST is destined to become a classic like HOW TO EAT. Written with the same enjoyment, sensuality and practical awareness, and packed with over 300 recipes and more than 200 photos, FEAST proclaims Nigella’s love of life and great food to celebrate it with.

My SteveMy Steve - Terry Irwin

Few people have touched the world as Steve Irwin did. My Steve is a deeply personal and moving tribute to a man adored by millions of people who never met him – and cherished by those who did.

In a deeply personal and moving tribute, Steve’s widow Terri celebrates his life, their work, and their close and loving family.

Please Explain - Dr Karl

Please explainPlease Explain is the latest in Dr Karl’s mega–selling science series – which includes the bestsellers Great Mythconceptions, Bum Breath, Botox and Bubbles and Q and A with Dr K.

Australia’s favourite scientist answers more curly questions on Life, The Universe and Everything. No–one conveys the excitement and wonder of science quite like Dr Karl, and this, his twenty–sixth book, takes us on another thoroughly entertaining exploration of the world around us. If you like your science fun and unpredictable, don’t miss this new addition to the Dr Karl library.

The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom - Suze Orman

9 stepsFrom the nuts and bolts of managing money to the deep psychological and even spiritual meaning it has in our lives, this personal-finance book shows everyone, even complete novices, how to take control of their money.

Suze Orman is a certified financial planner, a retirement specialist, and a registered investment advisor. Orman begins with the insight that managing money is far more than a matter of picking the right investments or getting out of credit card debt. To get control of our finances, we must first get control of the feelings about money that arise from our earliest experiences with it.

Next comes Orman’s clear, easy-to-follow advice about the practical importance of understanding and using investments, retirement plans, insurance, and credit. Finally, Orman reveals why true financial freedom lies not in amassing wealth, but in realizing that we are worth far more than our money.

    Marj, thank you for sharing these books with us. I have been relishing the experience of delving into my own Nigella book - Nigella’s Express, and plucking out juicy morsels to create in the kitchen. She has such a passion for food, and an absolutely lusciously descriptive turn of phrase, that I often find myself laughing and reading passages to whatever poor family member happens to be within earshot (even the dogs!)

Got something to say?
