Claudia Roden
Med
Sold Out
Over thirty years on from her first Mediterranean cookbook, pioneering food writer Claudia Roden shares the sun-soaked simplicity of the Mediterranean with new recipes for effortless, everyday cooking, which puts flavour first.
From Provence to the Levant, Andalusia to Morocco, she will be here to explore with us the varied tastes of the Mediterranean through her many travels and the wealth of stories that shape her recipes.

Chatting to Claudia about the book, we are very pleased to welcome back food writer and journalist Felicity Cloake, whose latest book One More Croissant for the Road, has been a free-wheeling bestseller here with us.

Justine Picardie
Miss Dior
Sold Out
Following her wonderful biography of Chanel, Justine Picardie‘s new book brilliantly illuminates the courageous life of the enigmatic woman behind the designer Christian Dior: his beloved younger sister Catherine, who inspired his most famous perfume and shaped his vision of femininity.
Justine Picardie’s journey in search of Catherine takes her to Occupied Paris, where Christian honed his couture skills while Catherine dedicated herself to the French Resistance, until she was captured by the Gestapo and deported to the German concentration camp of Ravensbruck.
With unparalleled access to the Dior family homes and archives, Picardie’s research shines a new light on Christian Dior’s legendary work, and reveals how his enchanting ‘New Look’ emerged out of the shadows of his sister’s suffering. Tracing the wartime paths of the Dior siblings leads Picardie deep into other hidden histories, and different forms of resistance and sisterhood. We can’t wait to hear more.
We are delighted that Lydia Slater, editor of Harper’s Bazaar, will be in conversation with Justine about Catherine’s life and legacy.
