COOKERY

Alex Mackay believes that cooking is an adventure and that good food should be for everyone. He knows that most of us shop in the supermarket, work long hours, and are often stuck for inspiration in the kitchen. The trick, he has discovered, is to know a few basic recipes inside-out and to reinvent them so they never grow tired. In Everybody, Everyday he shows how to cook six basic ingredients, six sauces and six slow-cooked meals, and then offers a kaleidoscope of variations for each. With 126 adaptable recipes, this really is a book for everybody who wants to cook delicious food everyday!

Alex Mackay worked as a chef at Michelin-starred restaurants in France, Italy and the UK. Having run Raymond Blanc’s cookery school and founded the internationally acclaimed Baou d’Infer cookery school in Provence, he now teaches alongside Delia Smith. His first book Cooking in Provence was a winner at the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards. Alex lives near Oxford with his wife and two sons.

When it comes to the most important meal of the day, this is the book to end all books, a delectable selection of recipes, advice, illustrations and miscellany. The recipes in the robust volume begin with the iconic full English - which can mean anything as long as there are eggs, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, tomatoes, black pudding, bread, potatoes and beans involved - before moving confidently on to more exotic fare such as kedgeree, omelette Arnold Bennett, waffles, American muffins, porridge, roast peaches, channa masala from India, borek from the Balkans and pães de queijo from South America.

Ever wondered why one flavour works with another? Or lacked inspiration for what to do with a bundle of beetroot? Look no further than The Flavour Thesaurus. The book lists 99 popular ingredients alphabetically, and for each one suggests an extraordinary range of flavour matchings from the classic to the outright bizarre: pork & apple, lamb & apricot, goat’s cheese & beetroot, and black pudding & chocolate to name but a few. Beautifully packaged, The Flavour Thesaurus is not only a highly useful, and covetable, reference book – it might keep you up at night reading.

Looking back over nearly two decades of professional cookery, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall has worked out the combinations that make magic. Salty, sweet, crunchy. Sharp, rich, crumbly. Hot, bland, crisp. Hugh has used the formula of three to create more than 175 recipes, both well-loved classics and brand new ideas, based on trios like squash, ricotta and ham; clams, tomatoes and garlic; strawberries, cream and shortbread; and chocolate, ginger and digestives.

Preheat the oven to 190°C/Gas 5. Season the chicken pieces well all over with salt and pepper. You’ll probably need to sear them in two batches. Heat the olive oil in large non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat, add the chicken and sear, turning the pieces several times, until they are golden brown all over. Transfer, skin side up, to an oven dish or roasting tin.

Now, to deglaze the frying pan, pour in the wine and let it bubble over the heat, stirring well to scrape up any bits of caramelised chicken from the bottom. Pour the liquid from the pan into the oven dish (but not directly over the chicken). Add the lemon juice and give the chicken skin an extra scattering of salt and pepper. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.

Take the dish from the oven, uncover and add the tomatoes, nestling them, cut side up as far as possible, among the chicken pieces. Roast, uncovered, for a further 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken pieces are cooked through and the tomatoes are soft and blistered. Scatter over most of the tarragon and toss to mix. Rest for a few minutes so the tarragon flavour infuses the juices.

Sprinkle over the remaining chopped tarragon and the dish is ready to serve. It’s good with new potatoes, mash, rice or bread.

SwapS If you can’t lay your hands on fresh tarragon, try this with flat-leaf parsley – using about three times as much. Or try roughly shredded sorrel leaves. In each case, the effect is quite different, but still delicious.

another take The dish also works really well with pheasant in place of chicken.

Serves 6–8

1 free-range chicken (about 1.8kg), jointed into 8 pieces (or a similar weight of bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces)

2 tablespoons olive oil

½ glass of white wine (or use water if you prefer)

Juice of ½ lemon

About 500g ripe tomatoes (any shape or size), halved or quartered

A bunch of tarragon, leaves only, coarsely chopped

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Chicken, tomatoes, tarragonAs it cooks, this very easy dish makes its own delicious sauce – a combination of the roast chicken juices and the deeply savoury tomato liquor. The tarragon is much more than just a background herb here. Its distinctive aniseed flavour is quite dominant, holding its own with the chicken and tomatoes, and rounding out the dish perfectly.

237meat •

Preheat the oven to 190°C/Gas 5. Cut the potatoes into similar-sized, small chunks. Put them in a large roasting tray with the garlic, add the olive oil and some salt and pepper and toss well. Roast for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, snap the woody ends from the asparagus and cut the spears into 3–4cm lengths. Cut the halloumi into 2cm cubes.

Take the potatoes from the oven, add the asparagus and halloumi and toss to combine. You don’t want the tray to be too crowded – everything should be in a single layer. Return the tray to the oven for 15 minutes until the asparagus is tender and the cheese is starting to caramelise. Discard the garlic.

Add a generous spritz of lemon juice and toss everything again, then transfer to a serving dish. Scatter with parsley, if using, and some more black pepper. Serve straight away – with wedges of sourdough bread, if you really want to make a meal of it.

Serves 4

600–700g new potatoes, scrubbed or scraped

4–5 garlic cloves (unpeeled), bashed

3 tablespoons olive oil

About 400g asparagus

225g halloumi

A spritz of lemon juice

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

1–2 tablespoons roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley to finish (optional)

Asparagus, new potatoes, halloumiRoasting is a surprisingly nifty cooking method for asparagus, quickly rendering this delicious vegetable tender and slightly caramelised. Mingled with earthy little new potatoes, salty halloumi cheese and a generous squeeze of lemon, it makes a fantastic early summer supper.

Put the cherries into a pan with the sugar. Cook over a very gentle heat, stirring occasionally, for a few minutes until the cherries are starting to soften and release some of their deep red juices. Set aside to cool.

To make the mousse, put the chocolate and butter into a heatproof bowl and place over a pan of barely simmering water. Leave to melt, stirring once or twice. Set aside to cool a little, then stir in the egg yolks.

In a large, clean bowl, whisk the egg whites with the sugar for a few minutes, until they form a soft meringue. Fold this into the chocolate mixture. Spoon into glasses and chill for an hour or so.

Lightly whip the cream until it just holds soft peaks. Put a dollop of cream on each mousse, add the cherries and serve.

SwapS Instead of poached cherries, use fresh strawberries – hulled, thickly sliced and briefly tossed in a little caster sugar. Or raspberries, again with a sprinkling of caster sugar, and very lightly crushed until the juices run.

Serves 4

500g ripe cherries, halved and stoned

25g caster sugar

For the chocolate mousse

150g dark chocolate, broken into small chunks

30g unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

3 large eggs, separated

20g caster sugar

To finish

200ml double cream

Cherries, chocolate, creamThis is a great pud to make during the all-too-short cherry season. If, like me, you view a couple of bars of good-quality dark chocolate as storecupboard staples, you can knock up this chocolate mousse, almost certainly to loud applause, at the drop of a hat. Combine it with a little cloud of whipped cream and briefly cooked fresh cherries, and you have a very sophisticated and indulgent pudding.

Every parent knows how stressful meal times can be, young minds need inspiring and this is exactly what Funky Lunch sets out to do. The book features many of the very best Funky Lunch sandwich ideas, from simple farmyard creatures and cucumber crocodiles to favourite characters from the world of children’s TV, as well as some fun and creative interactive spreads to help get the little ones involved in choosing and making their own lunch.

Mark Northeast, father of two, set up his Funky Lunch website at the beginning of 2009, completely unaware that it would become a worldwide media sensation. After a year of global news coverage, tireless self-promotion and interviews, Mark sandwiched his favourite creations into this first book, one of the big events in children’s food publishing of 2010.

Why is it that pepper and certain foods go together so perfectly? Christine McFadden’s evocative collection of recipes from around the world are geared to modern lifestyles and informal eating, inspiring the imagination with unusual ways of using pepper - in cakes and desserts for example - reminding us of pepper’s traditional use in pickles and preserves, in sauces and soups, curries and stews.

Author of many cookery books and five times nominated for World Food Media Awards Christine Mcfadden is a well-established food writer with a deep interest in the many aspects of food and its provenance. She has a passion for spices and seasonings and the way in which they transform the character of a dish. She is also the author of The Farm Shop Cookbook.

Funky Party is perfect for parents who want to create memorable party food for their children, with ideas that are perfect for birthdays or themed parties and which also cover ideas for smaller crowds, whether it’s an impromptu supper or a sleepover. From adorable jacket potato people to garden worm ‘bangers and mash’, and from scotch egg owls to ghoulish meringues, Funky Party is filled with achieveable ideas for parents to encourage their children to eat, experiment and enjoy food.

Mark Northeast is the multi-award-winning creator of Funky Lunch, and is dedicated to encouraging children to learn to love food. He has two young children, who still like to fuss occasionally, ensuring he’s always searching for his next Funky food ideas. He lives in West Sussex.

Originally published in 1998, this is the fully revised and updated edition of this outstanding tour de force by the world’s leading sparkling wine expert. Beautifully illustrated and stylishly designed, with over 600 full-colour photographs, labels and maps, it has become and will continue to be an indispensable part of any true wine lover’s library.

tom stevenson is the world’s most respected authority on Champagne and sparkling wine. As well as The World Encyclopedia of Champagne and Sparkling Wine, he is author of the Annual Champagne and Sparkling Wine Guide, the Sotheby’s Wine Encyclopedia and the definitive reference on the Wines of Alsace. Tom has picked up no less than 31 major wine writing awards.

Informative, illuminating and erudite, Slogan T-Shirts is completely unique. Featuring interviews with a wealth of cultural commentators and credible fashion insiders, it offers a multi-faceted approach to what makes the slogan t-shirt so rich, layered and culturally relevant.

This stunning tribute to Dame Elizabeth Taylor (1932-2011) celebrates the life, passions, frocks and rocks of one of the most striking and talented beauties of the silver screen.

‘This book wonderfully portrays Taylor’s flawless beauty and enduring, dropping-in-diamonds elegance’

Daily Express, 15 July 2011

‘Elizabeth’s “life in style” was a circus of extremes. She knew couture. She knew what good taste was. She just didn’t care to have good taste most of the time—wretched, expensive excess was her style, and she revelled in it. Elizabeth’s cheerful, sexy vulgarity was one of the things that so excited her public, and drove Women’s Wear Daily to distraction’

A contemporary look at traditional clothing and styles from 62 countries around the world and the influence it is having on fashion and designers today. Traditional dress from around the globe inspired the early designs of people like Coco Chanel and Christian Dior. Culture to Catwalk looks back at the roots of the industry, the backlash against brash consumerism, globalisation and ‘fast-fashion’ and shows that what people are wearing locally on the streets is once again influencing what stalks the catwalk (just as at the turn of the century). It interviews and quotes from designers and brands including Amanda Wakeley, Aquascutum, Jaeger, Donna Karan and more.

Colour and shade of dyed textiles were once as much an indicator of social class or position as the fabric itself and for centuries the recipes used by dyers were closely guarded secrets. From pre-history to the current day, the story of dyed textiles in Western Europe brings together the worlds of politics, money, the church, law, taxation, international trade and exploration, fashion, serendipity and science.

choose the making processes according to my concept. Therefore, I might work with

techniques and approaches that are, at first, unfamiliar to me.

In the ‘Globalores’ series, the challenge was found in generating detailed sketches

on the computer, as well as working together with a company that laser-cut my designs.

Next to the metal-work, an electronic component also entered my work that needed

resolve.

When a series of work is completed, the whole process repeats itself. My work is the

expression of a constant searching process. A search that will probably never end and

that will most likely never reveal the final object of my desire. Having finished a piece of

jewellery fulfills me with pride for a short moment but is instantly followed by the next

question, the next problem, the next issue spinning in my head, asking for an answer.

Jewellery Design and Development takes a unique approach to understanding these processes, by exploring the works of seventeen innovative jewellers from around the world, and examining the different ways in which they generate and develop their ideas. Tracking all the stages from initial concepts through to finished pieces, the author analyses each individual maker’s personal style and methodology, using illustrated examples and interviews with the designers themselves.

CASE STUDY

‘GLOBALORES’

GLOBALISATION IS

ADVERTISEMENT’S LITTLE HELPER.

On the one hand making it easier

for consumers to feel ‘at home’

wherever they go; on the other

hand, melting cultural diversity and

identity into one big marketing blob.

The individual starts to identify with

advertisement ideals that are, most

of the time, only made of empty

promises.

The ‘globalores’ series picks up

on those ‘empty promises’. The

led-screens act as advertisement

billboards that attract the audience

with images and symbols that

stand for certain statuses in today’s

society. They promise the wearer to

make them look smart, successful,

pretty, rich, sexy or skinny, as

soon as the led lights flash up. The

screens are surrounded by insects

and flowers that seem to underline

those promising life-enhancing

messages. On a second glance

though, it becomes obvious that

there is a different side to them: they

are carnivorous plants and insects.

Just as advertisement slogans,

they attract their prey with luring

measures to finally catch it in their

{ |traps.

The pieces are meant to show the

two sides of the advertisement-coin.

On one side, making it easier to make

decisions and live a comfortable life,

on the other side one might start

questioning whether every stone

that sparkles is really a diamond.

THE MAKING OF ‘I MAKE YOU LOOK

PRETTY’

In the beginning of my making

process stands extensive research

and gathering of ideas. All thoughts

and impressions are collected in my

sketchbook that connects me with

ideas from the past, present and

future.

The initial idea to the ‘Globalores’

series came from the huge

advertisement billboards and

banners that are plastered all over

the city of Shanghai. Although

Chinese cities recently try to preserve

their cultural image and identity,

it very often seems like the West

has taken over the East in terms of

brands, advertisement and way of

living.

Being a foreigner in a country that

is built on a culture so very different

We are surrounded by brands and advertisement. Constantly telling us what to buy and how to live our lives. Steadily pointing out what is good and what is needed for our daily living.

Lifelong sculptor Sue White-Oakes and writer Jim Pratt explain the craft of working in copper with the novice metalworker in mind. First covering basic tools and techniques, from cutting and truing to annealing and soldering, they go on to demonstrate five exciting sculpture projects, each increasing in complexity.

Jim Pratt is an amateur photographer; a forest research scientist by profession, he has made a photographic record of much of Sue’s work over the past 25 years. sue White-Oakes trained as an industrial designer before taking up sculpture and painting in 1975. She now sculpts in copper using a process akin to silversmithing, and has a passion for representing animal forms in her chosen medium.

This book offers a complete course in pottery for the beginner through to intermediate level. Structured in an easy way and following the whole process from start to finish, it uses clear step-by-step images to help guide the reader throughout.

Dan Rhode is a teacher at degree level. He ran his own successful pottery business in the US before moving to England. He currently teaches ceramics at the University of Derby.

This book is the classic book on construction, maintenance and repair of electric and fuel-burning kilns. It is a must for anyone building their own kiln and it is on the required reading list of many ceramics courses.

fred Olsen is very well established in the field, both in the UK and USA and is generally regarded as the authority on kilns. His first kiln book was published in 1973 and it has been continually revised and expanded since then.

A back-to-basics approach to throwing, covering the fundamental principles and the movements of the clay on the wheel. This is a very simple but exceptionally thorough manual for beginners working up to intermediary level, from how to centre the clay through to assembling teapots and using throwing in a more creative way.

Dave Cohen is a professional ceramic craft person, who has taught at many art institutions as well as working as a visiting lecturer at many places around the world in the USA and Israel. His work has been shown in many exhibitions around the world.

Sculpting and Handbuilding is an essential guide for any ceramic artist or student wishing to learn the basics of handbuilding, or seeking inspiration to integrate and adapt conventional methods. The basic techniques, from coiling and pinching to working with slabs, are explained with practical instructions and helpful accompanying images. Equipment, clay bodies and studio advice are thoroughly covered.

Claire Loder studied graphic design and illustration at Bath Spa University and completed an MA in Ceramics at the University of Wales Institute. She is a previous winner of the Crafts Council’s ‘Next Move’ award and the Arts Council Grants for the Arts.

Whether you wish to make an entire glaze using collected materials, or just want to use them as additions to existing base recipes, Miranda Forrest explains how to source and prepare natural ingredients, from degraded rocks to seaweed, as well as giving step-by-step instructions for mixing a glaze, testing samples, and finally applying glazes and firing your work.

Miranda forrest is a working ceramicist and graduate of the BA Honours degree at the Glasgow School of Art. Based on the beautiful and remote Outer Hebrides, off the west coast of Scotland, she develops her glazes from locally collected ingredients and the surrounding environment inspires her work.

This exciting publication is a much needed addition to this field of work, it will feature fantastic works by important ceramic artists working within the realm of the human form. An essay by Bonnie Kemske (Ceramic Review) helps place the contemporary figure in context, while the author gives an overall survey of today’s approaches.

Originally from the USA, Edith Garcia is known as an artist both here and in the states. She is currently a researcher at the Royal College of Art in London.

A complete guide to achieving a fantastic spectrum of colourful glazes for the studio potter, Colour in Glazes looks at all the methods of achieving colour in glazes, focusing on colouring oxides in detail, including the newly available rare earth oxides. Types of base glazes and the fluxes used to make them are discussed in relation to colour response. Emphasis is placed on using colouring oxides to achieve depth and variety of colour, rather than just resorting to commercial ceramic stains.

Now firmly established in the ceramics world, paperclay is a vital part of the modern clay artist and potter’s repertoire. The workability of this material allows expressive freedom and imagination at every stage in the creative process, from wet to dry. Paperclay, made with new or recycled paper, is remarkable for its flexibility, unfired strength, and the ease with which it can be repaired, and allows the creation of beautiful finished forms.

Rosette Gault, an American studio potter, is the acknowledged authority on paperclay. She has written a number of books and articles on the subject, and lectured and taught at universities and colleges around the world.

In Contemporary Tableware, maker Linda Bloomfield looks at the history of the pots on our tables, from Sung Chinese and Medieval English ware to the revival of studio pottery and the influence of Scandinavian, American and Japanese design. She goes on to examine common forms in contemporary tableware, including teapots, bowls, cups, jugs and plates, and to explain the elements of form, function and beauty in each.

Linda Bloomfield has been involved with pottery since 1973, although her career path led her to train as a materials scientist, and she received a BSc in Engineering Science and a PhD in Materials Science from Warwick University. After stints as a visiting scholar at MIT and as a researcher in Tsukuba, Japan and London, she set up her current studio in London in 2001.

In this comprehensive update of his popular Ceramics Handbook title, Paul Scott explains the historical context for contemporary printed ceramics before explaining the principles of core techniques and their application in the studio. He explores photographic processes, as well as the new opportunities presented by digital technology, including digital and 3D printing.

Paul scott is an artist, author and educator known for pioneering research into the graphic development of vitreous surfaces. His characteristic artworks can be found in public spaces and collections around the globe - including the V&A in London, the National Museum Stockholm, National Kunstindustrimuseet Oslo, the Museum of Art and Design in New York, and in Vietnam as part of the Hanoi Mosaic Mural.

Beginning with an introduction to collecting local clay and making your own clay bodies, the book moves on to cover the array of additions being used by artists today, from hard materials like stones, glass and rust, to combustible matter and fibre, metals including wire and mesh, and colour in various forms.

Kathleen standen studied ceramics at the London Metropolitan University. She was joint winner of the 2010 Contemporary Ceramics Award by Millcove Gallery and in 2011 her work was selected to represent Ireland in the FuLe Museum in Fuping, China.

Profiling the latest technology, Vanessa Cutler gives an artist’s perspective on new techniques, machinery and software in glass. Using straightforward language, she introduces the digital tools that are becoming an essential part of an artist’s toolkit, and describes the application of new technologies, from cutting and engraving machinery to rapid prototyping.

Vanessa Cutler is a glass artist and educator, specialising in using abrasive water-jet cutting creatively, and exhibits her work around the world. She has presented at numerous conferences, including the International Water-jet Conference in Graz, Vanessa is a lecturer at the Swansea School of Glass at Swansea Metropolitan University.

This book deals with ceramic work that does not have a glaze, but instead is finished by other methods such as burnishing, terra sigillata, engobes, oxide washes, laminating, smoke firing and other methods. The book looks briefly at the historical uses of alternative methods of decorating/finishing work, but essentially it gives a chapter to each method, looking at techniques and more importantly the work of specific artists in each field.

Installing radar

Radar is straightforward for the competent DIY boat owner to install. The kit consists of two main items, the scanner (or radome) and the screen, which are connected by a multi-core cable.

The radome needs to be mounted as high as possible; on a sailing yacht this is likely to be two thirds of the way up the mast and on a motor cruiser this will be either on a mast or the wheelhouse roof.

Although in reality it is probably one of the least used pieces of equipment on board, for many boat owners radar is very close to the top of the equipment wish list. You’ll certainly be grateful for it when unexpected fog rolls in or you have to enter a strange harbour late at night.

Above Once only the province of commercial vessels and large yachts, radars are now commonplace on smaller boats.

Fitting the radomeBefore the radome can be installed, it must be prepared by fitting the rubber drain tube into the aperture. Once fitted, it can be trimmed to length from underneath to suit the height of the radome on the mounting spacers. The 10mm (3/8in) nylon spacers are supplied for mounting the radome on a flat surface, which keeps the water drain tube clear of the surface. If it is to be fitted on a stand-off mast bracket, there is no need for the spacers.

Running the cable is always going to be the most troublesome part of the installation, and there is no easy answer to getting cables behind bulkheads and through trunking.

An electrician’s ‘mouse’ (these are lightweight fibreglass rods that clip together) can be a real help. But other items can be used to pass cables behind bulkheads – for example, the long plastic handle of a feather duster!

Once the radome has been carried up to the mast and bolted securely in place the scanner end cabling is prepared for connecting by carefully cutting the heat shrink cover off the end and separating the cable ends from the in-line connector. The waterproof gland cap and sealing ring are then removed from the scanner and slipped over the end of the cable.

With the radome cover removed, the cables are passed through the gland, and the in-line connector is plugged into its socket. This is followed by the four power cables that are fitted into the connector block. Once the connections are completed, the inner cable cover is refitted and the gland on the outside tightened to prevent water entering through the cable aperture. Finally the radome cover is refitted and the scanner installation is complete.

tIp

Before deciding where to fit the radome,

check the length of your cable. This is

supplied in a pre-cut length, and you

want to avoid having to lengthen it if at

all possible.

The connector plug and cable connections

The cable is generally run from the display to the radome, rather than the other way around, as the connections on the radome end are much less bulky. These usually come encased in a heat shrink cover, making them as small and compact as possible, to ease passage through the vessel’s trunking.

Trim anglesBefore fitting the scanner, it is important to decide whether it will need ‘shimming’ to adjust its angle, or whether it can be installed horizontally. This depends on the normal running trim of the vessel

and is more relevant to motor boats. If the boat tends to run with a pronounced bows-up trim, the scanner can be mounted on a wedge with a slight forward-down attitude, so that it is in the horizontal plane at cruising speed.

Installing a bathing platform

What better way to enjoy the heat of summer than with a dip in the water from a bathing platform fitted to the stern of your boat? Installing a bathing platform is a straightforward task for which you will require a suitable supply of wood, the ability to use a jigsaw, a plane and a router – along with the services of a stainless steel fabricator.

Choosing the woodOnce the stainless steel fabricator has delivered the metal frame, the first task is to decide what type of wood to use. Whilst teak is frequently used, it is becoming increasingly difficult to source long teak boards that are wide enough to allow for the desired curve of a platform’s planking for larger motor cruisers or yachts. In these circumstances, iroko is an economic and equally durable alternative.

Making the planksHaving selected the type of wood, choose a potential width for the individual planks to create the desired effect and then divide the available width within the stainless steel frame by this measurement to determine the number of required planks. Remember that there should be a gap between the planks for drainage and it may be necessary to adjust the chosen figure for the width of the planks if the gaps are

going to be too big or small. Once the planks’ dimensions have been established, each one can be marked out on the board and cut out using a jigsaw, before the edges are trimmed with a plane.

The appearance of the planks’ upper surface is a matter of personal choice. Some people like a smooth

finish whilst others prefer the improved grip that is provided by the addition of grooves with a router. The number of grooves will be determined by the width of the plank. However, they should be equally spaced and situated at least 8mm (1/3in) apart to minimize the chances of the raised wood between grooves breaking off.

Having cut the grooves, use a router to bevel the outer edges of the plank to ensure there are no sharp edges to catch barefoot swimmers.

Fitting the wooden planksFor a smart appearance it is vital to ensure there is an even gap

between the planks. This can be achieved by placing four pieces of wood that are the same width as the planks within the bathing platform’s metal frame and using plywood offcuts of various thicknesses to establish the size of the required gap.

Attaching the platformAt least two people will be required to fit the platform, depending on its weight and size. Having secured the planks to the metal frame, place the bathing platform on a set of wooden supports to determine the correct position for the platform.

When it looks right, mark out the holes on the hull, drill them out and

apply a ring of sealant around each hole. If all of the holes are above the waterline a silicone sealant can be applied, otherwise a polyurethane based sealant should be used.

When all of the stainless steel nuts and bolts have been secured in place, the excess sealant should be removed. To avoid damaging the gelcoat of a GRP boat, use either a wooden or Perspex scraper. Any remaining sealant can then be wiped away using white spirit on a soft cloth.

Many newcomers to sailing are pushed into racing almost by default, but don’t be discouraged if that’s not your thing – there are other ways to enjoy dinghy sailing.

Types of cruisingDinghy cruising encompasses a wide variety of rewarding activities. At one end of the spectrum there is gentle, relaxing summer-evening pottering, or a short sail to your favourite waterside restaurant, undertaken only when the weather is perfect.

At the other end of the scale are the more adventurous undertakings, such as a long voyage of up to 12-15 hours across 60 miles of open water, occasionally even out of sight of land. Ardent enthusiasts might even want to consider camping on board under a custom-made boom tent. This kind of dinghy cruising can be every bit as skilful and challenging as racing successfully in a world-class fleet.

Whether it’s serious cruising or gentle pottering, most people are driven by the same shared motivations, from simple fun and enjoyment, the sense of being close to nature and the natural elements, to the satisfaction of overcoming challenges. There is also the opportunity to visit places by sea and experience them from a different perspective to a more familiar land-based one. For many, dinghy cruising is also a family activity with opportunities for shared experiences and learning.

Managing the risksIt is possible to find some organised dinghy cruising – either through clubs, especially those on the coast or large bodies of inland water, and

through organisations such as the UK’s Dinghy Cruising Association. Equally, if you’re a member of a club that currently only provides racing, you may find a lot of support if you organise a few cruising activities – especially at the end of a learn-to-sail course, when there might be enthusiastic people looking to take their next steps in sailing.

For many people, however, dinghy cruising necessitates being self-sufficient, including sailing without rescue cover. This has implications for the boat that you choose. Entirely eliminating the risk of your boat capsizing isn’t possible but a model with a very stable hull shape will minimise the risk. Your boat also needs to be easy to recover without filling up with so much

water that it’s impossible to sail. Equally, the boat should have enough buoyancy to support it plus a healthy reserve, even if it becomes fully swamped with water following a capsize (see pxx).

Gaining the skillsIf sailing without rescue cover you need to be a competent sailor who’s able to identify risks early enough to take effective action. You should also be able to interpret weather forecasts effectively. If sailing for longer distances, the ability to reef under way is important, as is a solid appreciation of tides and how to navigate (see pXX).

Arguably, the skills that are needed to safely cruise a dinghy cover a broader spectrum than those needed for racing. It would be a

mistake, however, to ignore racing – it’s the best way to progress from being an intermediate sailor to an advanced one. Racing can also enable you to push the boundaries of the maximum wind strength in which you’re able to sail, in the knowledge that help will be on hand if necessary.

Common-sense seamanship

Respect for the sea, or the inland waters on which you sail, is a key part of staying safe. Stick to these essential principles, make sure you understand the basic rules of the road and keep a constant lookout for other boats.

Tides and weatherWinds are stronger over water than on land and the weather can change quickly, even on apparently balmy days. Get an up-to-date weather forecast – a coastal waters one if sailing on the sea – before launching (see pxx). In tidal waters you also need high and low water times, plus the direction and speed of tidal streams. This is especially important if tides will sweep you away from your launch point, or if ‘wind against tide’ conditions could kick up a rough sea. Beware of sailing too far downwind of your base – otherwise you’ll have a slower, more tiring and colder sail back.

attendance. However, sometimes experienced crew will sail without backup – if so, tell someone ashore so they can raise the alarm if you’re late returning and make sure you have ways to attract attention, such as distress flares and a hand-held VHF radio. You also need an anchor, paddle or oars and a compass.

Stay with the boat!If you have a problem always stay with the boat – it has enough buoyancy to stay afloat even if inverted or flooded and is a large target that’s easy for rescuers to find, unlike a body in the water.

Clothing and lifejacketsEven if you stay dry, it’s much colder afloat than on land and if you get wet, body heat drains quickly away. Proper clothing suitable for all the conditions you may encounter is therefore essential (see pxx). There’s always a risk with dinghy sailing that you will end up in the water, so wear a well-fitting buoyancy aid or lifejacket at all times.

Safety coverIdeally you shouldn’t sail without a safety boat manned by a trained crew. On a sailing course, and during organised club activities, there will always be one of these in

remember who gives way:b A sailing boat on port tack gives

way to one on starboard. b Allow plenty of room when

passing another boat.b If two sailing boats are

converging on the same tack, the leeward boat (sailing closer to the wind) has right of way.

b Sailing boats do not have right of way just because they are racing, but in some situations it may be courteous to give way to a racer.

b Power gives way to sail, but not if the power craft is in a channel or constrained by its draught.

b There are also other classes of vessel to which sailing boats must give way, including those engaged in fishing and dredgers.

b Make your intentions clear.b An overtaking boat must keep

clear of the vessel she is passing.b It’s the ultimate responsibility of

all vessels to avoid a collision.

Buoys and channel markersb Colour codings for deep water

channels vary in different parts of the world. In Europe, leave red (port) markers to the left and green (starboard) markers to the right when entering a channel. In the USA, leave red (port) markers to the right and green (starboard) markers to the left.

b Keep to the right-hand side of a channel at all times.

b As a dinghy sailor, it makes sense to stay out of a main channel in which large boats navigate. Don’t get stuck in the wind shadow of a ferry.

b If there is tidal flow, it will be strongest in deep water and weakest in shallow water.

Left: Proper clothing suitable for all the conditions you may encounter is essential.

Above: Stormy skies with wind building are no problem if there is safety cover close to hand.

Right: Keep out of the main channel – between the buoys – when entering or leaving a harbour. This will help you keep out of the way of bigger boats.

Right: Starboard tack boat (foreground) has right of way over port tack boats when beating to windward. Get it right! You must know the rules.

Above: System A buoyage – when entering a harbour, the port hand marker (red) is on the left and the starboard hand marker (green) is on the right.

In the USA the buoyage system (system B) is different from other parts of the world: port hand buoys are green and starboard buoys are red.

While a foreign-language dictionary is always useful when visiting a foreign port, these are not tailored to yachtsmen. As well as being focused on the topics yachtsmen will need to talk about, the Illustrated 9-Language Boat Dictionary is centred around clear, full colour, annotated diagrams in each subject area, making it easy and convenient to translate between nine languages.

From general terms such as ‘port’ and ‘starboard’ to technical words regarding engine repair and maintenance, the Illustrated 9-Language Boat Dictionary will prove an invaluable visual reference when sailing in foreign waters.

For every yachtsman who dares to put his dreams to the test and sails to an exotic destination there are dozens more who never get past the dreaming stage. This book shows how these kinds of trip are perfectly possible.

Twenty classic cruises are broken down and evaluated from the bottom up. Having described the journey and why it would appeal, the book assesses how long it would take, what sort of boat would be suitable for the voyage, the skill level and qualifications either required or recommended, as well as danger factors and how much it would all cost.

With detailed maps showing the route starting from both Northern Europe and the US, and with suggestions for further reading for each of the cruises, this book is as comprehensive as it is inspiring.

With advice, hints, tips and personal anecdotes, this is a very practical book - rather than being compartmentalized into sections, it accompanies the cruiser from departure to their safe arrival at their destination, drawing out the practical lessons at each stage of the passage from the theory found in text books. The superb photography illustrates the text and will inspire sailors of all levels.

In the era of commercial sail, clipper ships were the ultimate expression of speed and grace. Racing out to the gold fields of America and Australia, and breaking speed records carrying tea back from China, the ships combined beauty with breathtaking performance. With gorgeous paintings and illustrations, and thrilling descriptions of the adventures and races on the water, this beautiful book brings the era vividly to life.

sam Jefferson is Deputy Editor of Sailing Today magazine, and is one of the foremost authorities on clipper ships in the UK today. He lives on a boat and has spent his career teaching sailing, driving passenger boats on the Thames, and writing on the subject for magazines such as Classic Boat, and Traditional Boats and Tall Ships.

This spectacular book showcases some of the most stunning images of our oceans: breathtaking views from the air, glacial images of the Antarctic, vast mid ocean wildernesses, weird and wonderful wildlife found under the water, the boats skimming its surface and heavenly island paradises. With evocative text and page after page of glorious photography, this beautiful book will be a valued and much-loved possession.

Bluegreen Pictures is a specialist photo agency representing some of the world’s best marine photographers – this book clearly demonstrates the quality and sheer scale of their collection. Nic Compton was deputy editor then editor of Classic Boat magazine from 1996 to 2000. Since then he has traveled the world as a freelance writer and photographer. This is his seventh book.

Eileen Ramsay was at the centre of a unique period in yachting history, and this wonderful book, featuring her classic photography, celebrates an extraordinary woman and her extraordinary subjects. Her unique archive records the explosive growth in dinghy and offshore sailing during the post-war years, and includes pictures of the first Enterprises, Mirrors, Ospreys, Optimists and the first America’s Cup 12 metres Sceptre and Evaine.

Barry Pickthall won the 2008 Whyte & Mackay/YJA Journalist of the Year Award. A respected writer and photographer, he has been covering all aspects of the sport for four decades, for twenty years of which (1978-1998) he was Yachting Correspondent to The Times.

Sailing yachts under full sail, motorboats with huge bow waves, seemingly impossible angles – even before you factor in the spray-filled atmosphere, blinding sunlight and fast-moving targets, photography at sea is a very tricky proposition. This full colour book from a leading yachting photographer covers all the elements and more.

Following Dolphins Under My Bed and Turtles in Our Wake comes the third leg of the Claytons’ voyage, two early retirees who decided to live life sailing from place to place to fulfil their dream. Told uniquely from the wife’s perspective, Sandra Clayton was initially a reluctant sailor, but became a keen yachtswoman by the end of the first book when the couple sailed from the UK to the Mediterranean. In this installment she describes their transatlantic crossing, from Gibraltar via the Atlantic Islands to the Caribbean, and ending up in Fort Lauderdale.

Initially a reluctant sailor, sandra Clayton fell in love with sailing and the sea, and the urge to write it all down became irresistible. She and her husband cruise full-time from spring until autumn and ski all winter in the USA.

A truly inspirational story of a man unwilling to give up his dream in the face of massive odds. As John’s heart starts to die, his determination and refusal to give up see him fighting through repeated surgery and towards a journey of over 4,000 miles.

When John Otterbacher talks about ‘living beyond your fears’ he’s speaking from experience. He qualified as a clinical psychologist, set up his own practice, and then became a firebrand senator campaigning on health issues. He and his wife took up sailing in the 1980s, taking a 15 month cruise to the Mediterranean and Caribbean.

A charming tale about a British couple’s decision to follow their dream and sail from the UK to the Med before it’s too late. Entertainingly written, with lively and humorous anecdotes it will be of interest to sailors and non-sailors alike.

The popularity of running has never been greater and with thousands of everyday people taking in conventional 5k, 10k, half-marathon and marathon road running events, there seems to be a natural desire to seek other arguably more challenging forms of running.

Graeme Hilditch has been a personal trainer for over 12 years. He has written over 30 race-training guides for leading UK charities and is the author of 5K and 10K: From Start to Finish (Bloomsbury) and Marathon and Half Marathon (Crowood).

Longhorn

This is a very old traditional breed from the north of England, not to be confused with the Texas Longhorn of the USA. At one time a very popular breed in the 18th C when the horns were valued for the making of buttons, cutlery handles and spoons. By the end of the 19th C other materials were being used instead of horn, the housewife demanded leaner meat and the Longhorn nearly became extinct. Thankfully the RBST saw its potential and saved the breed which is now out of danger and has become popular with small breeders thanks to its elegant looks and all round qualities.

Considered an excellent suckler cow, the Longhorn calves with ease and produces milk with a high butterfat content to feed her progeny. The milk is also used in the making of Stilton and other well known hard cheeses. This is a long lived, hardy breed known for its docility that produces well marbled beef that is both flavourful and succulent.

Longhorns’ coats should all have a white line down their backs and white patch on their thighs, the commonest and most popular colouring is red brindled – those that are white with no red hair at all are discouraged by the Longhorn Society.

Origin Type Size HOrned Or pOlled

UK Beef Medium to large Horned

COlOur and appearanCe

Red, brown, grey and brindled with red-brindled being most common. All colours should have a white line down the back (finch back) and preferably white patches on thighs. Long curved horns sometimes curving in different directions. White with no red hair disapproved by Longhorn Cattle Society.

COlOur and appearanCe

Mainly golden beige or wheaten but also found in white and all shades to brown. In all cases the colour should be unbroken

Known mainly for its well marbled low fat lean beef the Blonde d’Aquitaine was once valued as a draught animal. Blonde cattle of one sort or another have been around in Europe since the C6th but were not offi cially recognised until 1962.

Introduced to Britain in 1974 and known as the British Blonde, improvements were attempted by crossing with Charolais, Shorthorn and Limousin but none proved to be any better than the original. The cattle are either naturally polled or horned and have a reputation of being tolerant to heat although they are also hardy.

This is a very docile breed known for ease of calving and fast growth. Animals should have unbroken wheaten glossy coats although paler and darker colours are acceptable. The expressive head should have a broad forehead with a triangular face and the strong body should have an upright stance with well developed joints and deep chest.

The remarkable collection of photographs in this book provide a rare insight into the fascinating world of meerkats.

Nigel Dennis is an award-winning photographer based in South Africa with several books to his credit. He spends most of his time in the bush specialising in the wildlife of Africa’s great open spaces. David Macdonald is a world authority on carnivore behaviour and director of the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit at Oxford University. He undertook the first major study of meerkats in the Kalahari in the 1980s.

When the renowned cartoonist Ralph Steadman was asked to produce a piece for a recent exhibition of bird art, he got slightly carried away - an astonishing 100 paintings later, Ralph’s Extinct Boids was born ...

These remarkable pieces of art include Steadman’s unique interpretations of well-known birds such as the Great Auk and Dodo, along with less familiar members of the avian firmament - Snail-eating Coua, for example - and a handful of bizarre creations such as the Gob Swallow, the Nasty Tern and Needless Smut, all with a riot of colour and a slice of trademark Steadman humour.

Ralph steadman was born in 1936. He began his career as a cartoonist, and through the years has diversified into many creative fields. Ralph collaborated with Dr Hunter S. Thompson in the birth of ‘gonzo’ journalism, with Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas; he has illustrated classics such as Alice in Wonderland, Treasure Island and Animal Farm, and written and illustrated his own books, which include Sigmund Freud, I Leonardo and The Big I Am.

Ceri Levy is a film-maker and he is also co-curator of Ghosts of Gone Birds, and therefore a crucial cog in the boids’ creation myth.

2nd April, 15:24. Ralph emails:My Jamaican Red Macaw is coming along. He fell off his perch once or twice – but I think he will make the grade!!

18:21. Ralph again:Here is the Jamaican Red MACAW – I am leaving certain ‘accidents’ that may occur – because all will be accident prone – or they wouldn't be extinct, would they??

I am doing the, er, Liverpool Pigeon now – aw-right?? If there is an empty space in this mail where the Macaw should be its because my sodding computer is throwin' a woosey – ‘cos of me new machine, like…

Ceri’s Diary: After a week without a boid being sighted, this angry old so-and-so appears. It does indeed look like we are continuing on our sail around the Isles of Extinction. It’s hard to describe the sensation that washes over me when I see Ralph’s name in my inbox and that the message contains an attachment. It has never been a disappointment either.

I know that it is time to go and meet Ralph as well. We have got to know each other through email and that greatest of inventions, the phone, but it would be good to see each other face-to-face. I would also like to take my camera along and record some footage of Ralph at work. I have a feeling he will be an entertaining subject.

Jamaican Red Macaw Ara erythrocephala

The Jamaican Red Macaw is yet another mystery bird

of which little is known; it may not have existed at all.

The great thing about Ralph doing a bird such as this

macaw is that now it is committed to paper it definitely

exists in our world, and it is a much better place with

this angry fellow in it.

The look of the Red Macaw is one of absolute disgust,

as if to say to His Nibship “How dare you draw me

like that!” Or perhaps “How dare you perch me on a

cliff face like this, that’s not my kind of habitat!” If the

Jamaican Red Macaw did actually exist it was

presumably hunted to extinction towards the end of

the 18th century. It’s hard to dodge the bullets when

you’re so brightly coloured. 21st April, 19:48. Ralph emails:Here we go Ceri, one more exists.

Ceri replies:Now I never imagined the Coua to have appeared like that! He looks more interested in riding the snail than eating it. Or is this his way of toying with it? Or does he ride it into submission? Whatever, it doesn’t look like a fair battle, but then that’s nature. Survival of the fittest. If only this snail had held on a little longer this predator would no longer have been around, and the snail could have breathed a little easier.

Ceri’s Diary: It is starting to feel very strange if a day goes by without me chatting to Ralph. We discuss birds and boids and laugh a lot, and from that laughter something always appears that is right on the money. And today’s bird is no exception.

Before the days of skateboarding, snailboarding was extremely popular with couas. Not so popular with the snails, which knew that no matter how fast they went they would end up as grub for their riders. But the couas would be cooed at as they slowly glided past. You can see the pride in this coua’s eye as it engages with the viewer. And there is the glimmer of a grin creeping across its beak. Once it reached the finishing line it was dinner time.

I am starting to feel sorry for some of these creatures that are being taken advantage of by Ralph’s birds. This snail looks so put upon, and has a bemused ‘here we go again’ look on its boss-eyed face. I suppose that when you’re a snail you know you’re never going to be able to go fast enough to shake the bird off your shell. That bird is there for the duration.

Snail-eating Coua Coua delalandei

The Snail-eating Coua hailed from Madagascar, with

the last specimen taken in 1834. Probable causes of

extinction include hunting for the bird’s feathers as

well as deforestation, while introduced rats may have

depleted the snails that provided one of the coua’s

main food sources.

Each episode of the narrative arises from personal experience, investigation, and the unearthing of information from research, exploration and conversations. The journey takes Conor from an encounter with a stuffed Goshawk in a glass case, through travels into supposed Goshawk territories in Britain, to Berlin - where he finds the bird at ease in the city.

Woodpeckers remain one of the most popular families of birds, and this new book covers all 250 species.

The text is accompanied by a series of high-quality photographs, carefully selected to highlight identification criteria. Each species entry is completed by an accurate colour range map.

Gerard Gorman is a freelance birder and author based in Hungary. He is widely regarded as Eastern Europe’s most accomplished birding guide and is the author of seven books, including The Birds of Hungary (1996), Woodpeckers of Europe (2004) and Birding in Eastern Europe (2006).

Insects truly are the ugly ducklings of the natural world. How does something as beautiful as a butterfly begin life as little more than a fancy maggot? This book illustrates some of the dramatic transformations insects undergo in their life cycles and explore why evolution has arrived at these remarkable solutions to survival. The aim of the book is to show remarkable transformations, some of which most people could never see in a lifetime.
