Turkokeboka ET MEIR UTE inneheld alt du treng å vita for å løfta turmaten eit hakk.

Det er du som legg lista: Riv med deg noko frå butikken, på veg opp på fjellet eller ut på sjøen. Eller, gjer klart noko heime og lag luksusmat ute.

Dei fleste er vortne meir opptekne av å vera miljøvenlege, og å kasta mindre mat. I boka finn du inspirasjon til korleis du kan eta opp matrestane på tur og hausta frå naturen. Lure triks med gode smakar, og mat for liten og stor.

Sigrid Henjum (f. 1983) er ei patriotisk sognajenta, som har reist verda rundt. Matlaginga har ho plukka opp gjennom jobb som kokk på hotell og luksuslodge. Ho har guida på ski både i Nordvestpassasjen og over Grønlandsisen, og på hesteryggen i Mongolia. Godt plassert i kajakken, har ho padla rundt Sør-Georgia og Nordaustlandet (Svalbard). Lista er lang. Livet er i endring – Sigrid har no landa på eit småbruk med familie, dyr og grønsaker i Sogndal.

Turane er kortare og nærmare enn før. Ho har lært mykje, og fått ny erfaring sidan førre bok, ET UTE, som kom ut i 2016. Boka vart ein suksess, med over 6000 selde eksemplar – til no. ET MEIR UTE gir deg over 100 nye oppskrifter og tips til god turmat.

Visste du at i middelalderens Europa var svart pepper verdt mer enn gull? Og at Vestens tørst etter te hadde stor skyld i kinesernes massive opiumsmisbruk på 1800- og 1900-tallet? Hjemme i Norge var bøndene en tid pålagt å dyrke humle for å brygge øl – om man sluntret unna, kunne man i verste fall bli vist fra landet.

Overalt omgir vi oss av planter – i naturen, hagen, i stuen og på spisebordet, men vi tenker lite over hvilke roller disse plantene har spilt for vår sivilisasjon.

I denne boken som har gjort stor internasjonal suksess, får du fascinerende historiske perspektiver på plantene rundt oss. Bill Laws tar for seg 50 vekster og formidler på kunnskapsrikt og underholdende vis hvordan de har påvirket verdenshistorien. I den norske utgaven er innholdet og referansene tilpasset den norske flora og norsk kulturhistorie.

Boken er nydelig illustrert med botaniske tegninger, kunst og fotografier, og dessuten krydret med kuriosa, kjente sitater og utdrag fra litterære verker. Dette er en bok som er en nytelse å bla i – og en perfekt bok å gi bort i gave.

Planlegger du togferie?

Ferie med tog gir deg en super innføring i hvordan du enkelt kan velge tog som fremkomstmiddel til din neste ferie. Planlegger du din neste ferietur langs togskinner i Norge, Norden eller i resten av Europa?

Da er Ferie med tog - Reiseglede langs skinnene boka for deg! Boka er full av praktiske tips og inspirerende turforslag og er skrevet av Sigrid Elsrud som står bak den populære togbloggen.no.

Finn et nytt sted, og gi det en sjanse! Ofte kan en tilfeldig valgt prikk på kartet vise seg å være en perle, men vi må ta oss tid til å gå av toget for å oppleve den, er Elsruds oppfordring.

Å bruke tog som fremkomstmiddel på ferieturen er mer populært enn noen gang før. Ikke først og fremst på grunn av tung markedsføring eller politiske vedtak. Snarere tvert imot. Trenden har kommet nedenfra, fra folk som selv har brettet ut kartet, funnet reiseruter langs bakken – og som gjør det igjen og igjen.

I vår felles norske bevissthet har nok lange togreiser fortsatt liten plass. Kanskje fordi feriereiser med tog krever litt mer planlegging på forhånd? Feriereiser med tog er ikke alltid så tilrettelagt som andre reiser og ferieformer. Når reisene ikke ligger som ferdige tilbud foran oss, kan det være lett å glemme at de finnes. Mange tenker ofte på kronglete billettsystemer og dårlig togtilbud mellom Norge og resten av Europa som de største barrierene for en togferie

Men det krever ikke så mye som mange kanskje tror.
Og med den nye boken til Sigrid Elsrud får du super hjelp på veien mot din neste ferie på skinnene.

Elsrud gir blant annet en rekke konkrete og spennende tips til enkle togferier og gode reiseruter, hun forteller om bra nettsider og gode reisebyrå, hun lærer deg å finne frem på europakartet selv, gir nyttige råd for alt fra bagasje til togbilletter i Europa og lærer deg hvordan du kan bli kjent med verktøy og tjenester som kan hjelpe på reisen.

I Ferie med tog finner du veldig mye nyttig innhold når du skal planlegge togferie, blant annet disse kapitlene:

• Råd om bagasjen 
• Tre enkle togferier
• Fem gode råd for nybegynneren
• Interrail - eller ikke interrail?
• Finland – på skinner mellom tusen sjøer
• Mjøsa – en ferieperle i Innlandet
• Ljubljana – den perfekte byen for en togferie
• Milano – mellom Alpene og Middelhavet
• Spania – togreisen gir oss Europa med på kjøpet

Venture into the woods alongside a pioneering female mycologist. This one-of-a-kind, keepsake volume celebrates the timeless fascination of fungi. Very little is known about M.

F. Lewis—not even her first name. Mysterious, prolific, and deeply enamored with the world of mushrooms, she left us a treasure trove of mycological illustrations.

For over forty years, from 1860 to 1902, Lewis rambled across England and Wales, recording an astonishing biodiversity of fungi. Her delicately drawn, boldly colored images evoke the strange and powerful beauty of this kingdom.  This handsome volume collects hundreds of Lewis's watercolors, contextualized by a foreword from mycologist Dr. Patricia Ononiwu Kaishian.

It's a must-have for today's mushroom lovers who are curious about the history of mycology and for any admirer of vintage botanical illustration who wants to discover something different. FASCINATING FUNGI: Mushrooms are having a real moment, but they've always captured our imaginations, even in Victorian times. Lewis's gorgeous artwork offers the modern mushroom fan a new way to appreciate their favorite kingdom.
