At a time when we all know we need to eat more plants, what better way to incorporate a wide variety of wholefoods into your diet than with a thoughtfully composed salad?Growing up just outside Paris with a French father and English mother, Alexandra Stacey became accustomed to a classically French tradition of eating beautifully dressed, seasonal salads on an almost daily basis all year round, and in her first book ‘Salads for all Seasons’ she encourages you to do the same.

Pare-Poupart’s story is atypical: he started working as a garbageman to pay for school, and after earning graduate degrees and working in more ‘respectable’ fields, he is still on a truck – out of love for the physical rush, for his rough-and-tumble colleagues, and for an honesty and freedom that no other job has yet given him.

“This is a book about all the kinds of love: friends, family, partners… All are Loved Ones. It is a book about grief and death and about how life goes on. It is a bit sad but also joyful and even boastful. It is a debut and it has some faults, but it is a promising debut and I can already see this adapted for television or made into a film.”
