We hope you’re all eating well in lockdown, and we think you are, because two of the most-anticipated cookbooks of 2020 are in our bestsellers this week. Julia Busuttil Nishimura’s second cookbook, A Year of Simple Family Food, has flown off our shelves in its first week in our shops, and pre-orders for the inimitable Yotam Ottolenghi’s Ottolenghi FLAVOUR (available on 3 September) has pushed it into our top 10.

The shortlist announcement for the Readings Prize for New Australian Fiction 2020 has seen our customers stock up on our specially priced pack that contains all six shortlisted titles - and we highly recommend this selection to get you through the remaining weeks of Stage 4.

And if some armchair travel is required, then Richard Fidler’s engaging The Golden Maze will take you to Prague throughout the years, from the foundation of the city to the present.
