4 Thursday June 11 2020 Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz PEGASUS POST GREAT WINTER READS INSTORE NOW! NEW RELEASES Under the Covers secrets of a Magazine editor - by Jenny lynch Former editor Jenny Lynch takes the wraps off the unreported side of life in print, explodes myths, unearths secrets and shows that even on seemingly conservative publications such as the New Zealand Woman’s Weekly things were seldom exactly as they seemed. Her memoir, aptly titled “Under the Covers”, is a revealing account of what went on behind the closed doors of various editorial offices and newsrooms during one of the most colourful periods in magazine and newspaper history. Lynch’s 30-year path to her top job was full of drama and off-beat activities. But nothing she had experienced before she became editor of the Weekly prepared her for the challenges that lay ahead. Indeed, the magazine’s battle for dominance in what became known as The Magazine Wars was fought against a backdrop of management turbulence and ownership changes. Peppered with the names of those who have touched the author’s life, including the famous and the fleeting, “Under the Covers” will appeal to everyone who enjoys reading about the ever-changing world of print media. A Natural Year living simply through the seasons by Wendyl nissen Wendyl’s story of living the simple life in the country: gardening, foraging, fishing and the freedom she has found in ageing. Beautifully illustrated and including 100 new and delicious recipes. A Natural Year follows writer Wendyl Nissen’s life in the peaceful New Zealand countryside over one year. It’s the story of what happens in her garden, her kitchen and her life over twelve months, and the thoughts inspired by each passing season. She writes about the freedom that she has found in ageing and the joy that comes along with it. She addresses her depression, anxiety and the mental well-being she’s gained from her back-to-basics lifestyle and the practical things she does to live in a sustainable, natural way. With photographs taken at her home in Northland, Wendyl shares 100 new recipes, including how to make yeast from grapes, yoghurt using chilli stalks and many others she has discovered. Code Name Hélène - by ariel lawhon This book is based on the life of Nancy Wake, an Australian expat who worked as a reporter for Hearst in Paris just before WWII and later as a spy for the British. Lawhon throws readers into the middle of the action, as Nancy, under the alias Hélène, prepares to parachute from an RAF plane into France to help the Resistance in 1944, carrying in her head memorized lists of vital data, including bridges targeted for destruction and safe house addresses. After she lands, the story flashes back eight years, as Nancy struggles for respect and recognition as a journalist; despite her firsthand observations of Nazi brutality in 1930s Vienna, her editor is reluctant to publish a story about what she’s seen. Frequent jumps in time draw out the arc of Wake’s remarkable life; despite her statement early on that women’s weapons of warfare were limited to “silk stockings and red lipstick,” by the end she’s proven herself skillful at physical combat as well. So Delish! super easy, fresh meals for every day by simone anderson Social media star and bestselling author of Journey to Health, Simone Anderson, serves up her favourite recipes. So Delish! is jam-packed full of delicious, healthy recipes that you will want to whip up every day. Beautifully styled and photographed, this book shows you that good food can be easy to make and, what’s more, it can be really tasty. Simone’s philosophy on eating is that you should enjoy it, and she doesn’t believe in denying yourself treats or restricting entire food groups. Her recipes are fresh and healthy, and she loves to prepare light, beautiful meals. Known as the platter queen, she’s created some amazing platters for this book, as well as heaps of easy recipes for dinners, lunches, breakfasts and snacks. Simone’s first book, Journey to Health, told how she lost a massive 92 kg in weight, how her story went viral and how she’s created a new life as a social media influencer. Our Game new Zealand rugby at 150 - by ron palenski The year 2020 marks the 150th anniversary of the first game of rugby in Nelson; this book celebrates 150 years of New Zealand’s national game, the game more than any other that has helped shape the New Zealand psyche and identity. It will take the form of 150 short stories - stories about the players, the teams, the provinces, the trophies, everything that helped make the game what it is, from the first in the horse and buggy days to the latest in the days of ultra-modern technology. It will talk of players who no one living saw play; and it will talk of players who are recognised wherever they go in the widening rugby world. And who can talk of players and resist speculating who the greatest of all might have been? It’s opinions and speculation that make up some of the enduring appeal of the game New Zealanders are (mostly) better at than anyone else.
