The Lost Chef - Hajro Dizdar and the art of Bosnian Cooking

The Lost Chef
This is a story about a Chef who got lost in a war and the recipes he was famous for.

This book is Bosnian cooking made modern and simple, with easy to follow instructions, and a paddock to plate philosophy.

Learn how to make regional favourites to tantalise your family and guests.

It also offers a glimpse into the life of one man, the food he fed his family, and tells, with refreshing honesty, the story of a region blighted by war.

The Lost Chef can be purchased in print as hardcover or softcover directly from me, at Amazon and at many other outlets.

Also available as ebook at Amazon, Apple Books, and soon to be Google Books.

Kyoto With Kids by Leila Chalk & Andrew Chalk

Kyoto with Kids
We hope you will use this book to give you a practical approach to planning your trip to Kyoto.

The advice in this book really applies to travel anywhere in Japan, because it mostly focuses on bigger picture issues. It sets out our trials and tribulations at tackling the logistics of travel with young children.

It also details the philosophical considerations when you are going on holiday with kids, hopefully to help you answer the "why am I doing this to myself" question when you need it most. (Possibly when you are in a lovely restaurant surrounded by eighty other diners and covered in baby poop.)

The book came about from what we perceived was a lack of travel guides that focus on what is and is not feasible with children in tow.

We would love to hear from our readers if there are any areas that we ought to discuss in finer detail and will most likely update this with a second edition once we go back to Japan in a few years - with a slightly older and more mobile Bunny. So learn from our lessons, watch our YouTube videos, and join our travelling with children community.

Kyoto with kids is an ebook that can be purchased online at Amazon, Apple Books, and soon to be Google Books.
