The Fantastic Book of Hospitality Jokes: For Chefs, Bartenders, Baristas, Butchers, Wait Staff and More! (The Fantastic Joke Books)
If you have ever had the delight of working in hospitality or have ever been a customer (highly likely), this book is for you. Unlike the chef who made culinary puns, which didn’t pan out too well, this book is a secret recipe, serving up snickers and laughs. Devour a feast of jokes that are so hot you will have to move away from the grill, and, just like a deep-dish pizza topped with beef jokey it is also filled with cheesy one liners to make you giggle on shift.
Now, a word of caution must be had, some jokes are innocent, and some are rude & lewd, but none are meant to offend. It’s well known that the darker your sense of humour, the more intelligent you may be. Some jokes are so dark they are definitely well-done. With that being said, sit back, let us turn up the heat, and get ready for a spicy, delicate buffet of fun.“There has long been a happy symbiotic relationship between kitchen and bar. Simply put, the kitchen wants booze, and the bartender wants food.”
– Anthony Bourdain.Read more

The Language of Kindness: The No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling nursing memoir
Read Costa Award-winning author Christie Watson’s incredible No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling memoir of nursing today.
‘It made me cry. It made me think. It made me laugh’ Adam Kay, author of This is Going to Hurt and Twas the Nightshift Before Christmas
Christie Watson was a nurse for twenty years. Taking us from birth to death and from A&E to the mortuary, The Language of Kindness is an astounding account of a profession defined by acts of care, compassion and kindness.
We watch Christie as she nurses a premature baby who has miraculously made it through the night, we stand by her side during her patient’s agonising heart-lung transplant, and we hold our breath as she washes the hair of a child fatally injured in a fire, attempting to remove the toxic smell of smoke before the grieving family arrive.
In our most extreme moments, when life is lived most intensely, Christie is with us. She is a guide, mentor and friend. And in these dark days of division and isolationism, she encourages us all to stretch out a hand.
‘A powerful insight into the life of nurses’ The Times, Books of the Year
‘A remarkable book about life and death and so brilliantly written it makes you hold your breath’ Ruby Wax

In this groundbreaking addition to his New York Times bestselling Plant Paradox series, Steven R.Gundry, MD offers a definitive guide to the gut biome and its control over its home—us!—revealing the unimaginably complex and intelligent ecosystem controlling our health and teaching us how to heal our guts to prevent and reverse every type of disease.
We may believe that we are the masters of our fates, but in reality, we are at the mercy of hundreds of trillions of single-celled organisms that exert control over every aspect of how our minds and bodies function. These are the diverse species of microbes living in our guts, mouths, and skin that work together synergistically to communicate with each other and with every system in our bodies. You are your microbiome’s home, and it wants to take care of you, but first you have to protect it.
In Gut Check, Dr. Steven Gundry reveals the emerging science proving that Hippocrates was right—all disease begins in the gut. When our microbiomes are out of balance, it affects our immune systems, our hormone levels, our mental health, our longevity, and our risk of developing autoimmunity, heart, and neurodegenerative disease, as well as arthritis, diabetes, and cancer. Yet, not all hope is lost: disease can also be healed in the gut if we choose to treat our microbes right. In Gut Check, Dr. Gundry shows us how.
In his warm, authoritative voice, Dr. Gundry provides us with the keys to unlocking our gut health, allowing our bodies, and its microbiome, to function at their highest potential. Sharing shocking new research as well as a detailed eating plan with food lists and recipes to heal and rebalance the microbiome, Gut Check provides the cutting-edge information and tools we need to repair our health and reclaim our lives.
