      For this cookery book seven top chefs in Provence were invited to select one of the herbs from the traditional aromatic bundles of herbes de Provence and use it to create a selection of new recipes. The resulting collection of dishes is made even more mouthwatering by the descriptions of the starred restaurants in which the chefs operate, from Auberge de Noves in the north to Palme d'Or on the coast of the Cannes. Anthony Gardiner also summarizes the philosophy of each chef and provides a delightful introduction to each of the seven herbs (sage, fennel, winter savory, thyme, rosemary, bay and marjoram).

    • Olympiad problems help able school students flex their mathematical muscles. Good Olympiad problems are unpredictable: this makes them worthwhile but it also makes them seem hard and even unapproachable. The Mathematical Olympiad Handbook contains some of the problems and solutions from the British Mathematical Olympiads from 1965 to 1996 in a form designed to help bright students overcome this barrier.

      Focusing on the principles and concepts essential for enhancing mathematical education, this handbook addresses the limitations of the National Curriculum for secondary schooling, particularly for ages 11 to 14. It serves as a guide for teachers, emphasizing the importance of broadening and enriching students' learning experiences without prescribing specific teaching methods. The book aims to raise awareness of key ideas that are often overlooked in the UK educational landscape.

      Teaching Mathematics at Secondary Level
    • Aimed at students in year 9 and 11-14 phases, this work consists of focused sets of problems, with each set devoted to core ideas from the Framework but approached in a way that cultivates mathematical thinking. It is structured into a number of sections, which comes in three varieties: tasters, core, and extensions.
