| Description: |
Born on May 27, 1975, by the age of eight, Jamie Oliver was already cooking in his parents' pub and restaurant. Grabbing no-hope kids off the street and training them to cook, setting up a charity that would keep them in work at one of London's trendiest restaurants and kicking the government up the backside, he's the people's champion. |
| Synopsis: |
Born on May 27, 1975, by the age of eight, Jamie Oliver was already cooking in his parents' pub and restaurant The Cricketers, in Clavering, Essex. From Westminster Catering College, he went straight to the apron strings of Antonio Carluccio as his head pastry chef. Spotted by the director who would make Nigella, Jamie's foul mouth and cheeky chappy image in the kitchens of The River Cafe won him his own TV series, the "Naked Chef" by the tender age of 22. A monster advertising deal with Sainsbury's was soon to follow, allowing Jamie and his mates - strewn through his series as effortlessly as he chucked herbs on his easy dishes - to come into our sitting rooms several times a night. We watched him marry his sweetheart, become a father - twice, and chewed our fingernails with Jools in Jamie's School Dinners, willing him to come home more often. Grabbing no-hope kids off the street and training them to cook, setting up a charity that would keep them in work at one of London's trendiest restaurants and kicking the government up the backside, he's the people's champion, the chef that taught lads to cook rather than defrost, the Essex boy who was invited to tea with the Prime Minister. |

Scarpetta
Kay Scarpetta takes up an assignment in New York City, where the NYPD has asked her to examine an injured patient in a psychiatric ward. The handcuffed and chained patient, Oscar Bane, has specifically asked for her. The story he has to tell turns out to be one of the most bizarre she has ever heard. Is his paranoid tale true? The only thing Scarpetta knows for certain is that a woman has been tortured and murdered, and that more violent deaths will follow.

Just What I Always Wanted
What do Mount Kilimanjaro, a hundred-million-dollar marble mansion, a pair of handcuffs, a jar of walnut jam, the bleeding heart of a dead elk, an incontinent donkey, two Scottish terriers called Negus and Stasi, a fur-lined jockstrap, and the fossilized bowel movement of a turtle have in common? They have all been offered as birthday presents to some rather famous people. This book presents a curiously compelling collection of celebrity birthday gifts from the 16th century to the present day.

Fern
Fern Britton has been widely loved as the presenter of "Ready Steady Cook", and, co-presenter of "This Morning with Philip Schofield". Her warmth and humour, empathy and compassion, have made her feel like a best friend to millions, but no one knows the woman behind the sparkling smile. This title presents her story.
