The Paleo way of life has been around for a long time but only in the last couple of years have its benefits been more widely known and its lifestyle practised.The Paleo diet restricts processed foods, sugars, grains and dairy products and encourages a simple diet of fresh fruit and vegetables along with proteins and nuts and seeds.Living the Paleo lifestyle though is much more than a diet. It draws on the core values of the lifestyles of our historical ancestors who ate whole, unprocessed foods, who moved around more than we do, who slept better and had less stress. It is about having a conscious awareness of the food that we put into our body and the effect it has on our body. It is also about making healthy choices for our body in all areas of our life, so prioritising good sleeping habits, exercising regularly and working to reduce stress are all equally as important for optimum health.With over 60 recipes, there&rsquo;s plenty of inspiration for paleo-friendly dishes for every mealtime.

For anyone on Instagram, The Fat Jew (@thefatjewish) is pretty much essential-following: hilarious posts several times a day, which are laugh-out-loud-funny.Money, Pizza, Respect is a loosely autobiographical account of how Josh &#39;The Fat Jew&#39; Ostrovsky went from teaching homeless people &#39;SoulCycle&#39; classes on parked Citi Bikes to the Instagram sensation we know today, with over 2.5 million followers.The Fat Jew says his alter ego was birthed at summer camp. &#39;It came out of a counselor I had who was super fat and identified himself as "a fat Jew". Money, Pizza, Respect is the best of his Instagram feed (alongside stacks of new material, of course) with a mix of hilarious, heartwarming, and terrifying stories from his life. Read about the time he got drunk with Sharon Stone in Cannes, and how he ended up on a rich Saudi&#39;s yacht with a live ostrich.In October 2014, hundreds of fans protested outside instagram&#39;s NYC offices when Ostrovsky was kicked off the social media site for the third time for posting &#39;explicit content&#39; - to say Ostrovsky&#39;s comedy skews toward the inappropriate is an understatement: this is not for the faint-hearted.

Marjorie Rieu

Andre Rieu is a violinist, conductor and international classical music star, who has won the hearts of millions of music-lovers throughout the world with his extravagant concerts and sell-out tours.Born in the Netherlands in 1949, Andre started taking violin lessons at the age of five, the beginning of a love affair that would never end. As a student he was asked to take part in a salon ensemble and as he played his first waltz a whole new world opened up for him. From that time on Andre was hooked on the waltz rhythm and dreamt of creating a large orchestra that would enchant its audience. After recruiting his own &#39;Johann Strauss Orchestra&#39;, Andre began to tour. Crowned the &quot;Waltz King&quot;, Andre&#39;s wish was to make classical music accessible for everyone, and this has undoubtedly come true. The Johann Strauss Orchestra has grown from strength to strength and now has up to 50 players, and the orchestra&#39;s first CD, &#39;From Holland with Love&#39; (1994) stayed in the Top 10 chart in the Netherlands for over a year. Written by his wife, Marjorie Rieu, My Music My Life explores the story of Andre&#39;s youth; growing up in the Netherlands; the musical family he grew up in; his music studies; and his extraordinary success story as he went on to become a bestselling, international music star.

With this in mind, Katie and Giancarlo Caldesi have dodged the tourists, drawing inspiration from less obvious areas of Italy&#39;s magical city, to unearth the most delicious and authentic recipes. Try some hot polpette (salty pork rissoles) or sarde in saor (marinated sardines) with a glass of wine with friends. The traditional Venetian pasta, bigoli, served with a delicious fresh fish salsa is a signature dish that you&rsquo;ll cook time and time again. And the sweet fritelle, fried dumplings filled with custard, are bound to become an instant hit. Set against the backdrop of breathtaking photographs of the city and Katie&rsquo;s anecdotes of their travels, Venice is a beautiful cookbook and keepsake that will transport you to Italy with every page turned.

Foul Play

DICK FRANCIS was one of the most successful post-war National Hunt jockeys and author of forty-three bestselling novels, a volume of short stories (Field of 13), the biography of Lester Piggott and his own autobiography (The Sport of Queens). He was rightly acclaimed as one of the greatest thriller writers in the world. 
 
 Since his death, his son FELIX FRANCIS has taken over the literary reigns from his father and Dick's legacy lives on through the Dick Francis novels. The Francis flair is clear for all to see in these national treasure thrillers, and readers will appreciate the sporadic reappearance of beloved series characters Sid Halley and Jeff Hinkley.
