Two huge new releases made an impact on our bestsellers this week. A new cookbook from beloved Israeli-English restaurateur and chef Yotam Ottolenghi is always an event, and Ottolenghi FLAVOUR is no exception. Our staff member Tye has already been cooking from this kitchen essential! If cooking has been keeping you going in lockdown, then you should also get hold of the bestselling local cookbook by Julia Busuttil Nishimura, A Year of Simple Family Food, which has had runaway sales in its first few weeks on our shelves.

It’s been five years since Elena Ferrante’s last novel, so we’re willing to bet everyone has their nose buried in The Lying Life of Adults this week. Our staff reviewer Joanna describes Ferrante’s latest as ‘a vivid, volcanic masterpiece’, so add it to your 2020 must-reads. A shout-out also to new entry The Mother Fault by Kate Mildenhall, an urgent near-future literary thriller.
