The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears or the sea. - Isak Dinesen Most people love the ocean - it's the icon of our summer vacations and a place of childhood memories - and there's no wonder why. Swimming in and being near the salt water has been shown to lower cholesterol and blood pressure, boost immunity and even slow the signs of ageing. But that's just the physical side. Saltwater Cure draws on compelling, life-affirming stories about the healing power of the ocean - whether it be a balm for mental health, a comfort for an autistic child, a way to overcome trauma or a path to building community and escaping loneliness. Journalist and author Ali Gripper shares the stories of people who have been transformed by the ocean - experiences from the likes of conservationist and underwater cinematographer Valerie Taylor, solo sailor Jessica Watson, One Wave founder Grant Trebilco, Indigenous scientist Chels Marshall who sings to dolphins, blind swimmer James Pittar and many others. All speak eloquently about the ocean's ability to not only provide solace and comfort, but to help them find strength in themselves and make the most of living connected to nature. The ocean, they all say, is one of our great treasures. It's the place that lifts them up, soothes them and where they feel most at home.

Milk. It's in our coffee, on our cereal. We see it in processed form – yoghurt, butter, cheese, skimmed and lactose free. It's there in almond form, or made from oats or soy, and is as lauded as the 'perfect' food or lambasted as not fit for human consumption and a toxic planet killer, depending on who you trust. Which type you drink, whether you were raised on breastmilk, what you think of it, is affected by culture, biology and fashion. How you view it is driven by your gender and your politics, as well as your geography. The miracle liquid has suffered an image problem. It has been used to keep people poor, to keep women subjugated, and to build corporate and medical careers. It's been blamed for climate change, the breakdown of human health, and an enabler of the industrial revolution. From perfect food to pariah, milk's role in life has often been debased.Milk celebrates the majesty of this noble liquid, and delves into the pretenders to its throne, from formula to Mylk. It looks at the transformation of what a milk-producer eats into one of the most nutrient dense foods available, and how that can be transformed again into the butter, cheese and clotted cream that we know and love today. It's an exploration of the science, history and politics of what makes mammals different from every other life form on earth.

"I'm thrilled by this beautiful book. Cherie's recipes are bursting with flavor and creativity. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do."– Maggie Beer Wherever she's lived around the world, Cherie Hausler's instinct has been to host 'country gatherings' – bringing people together to share good food and good times. That passion grew when she returned home to the Barossa Valley to settle in an unrenovated 150-year-old stone farmhouse on Koonunga Hill. It's there that she tends a rambling edible garden, forages for wild olives, turns apples into cider vinegar, makes kombucha, bakes, blends (and drinks!) tea, tends her horses, ducks, dogs, and other animal friends, and nurtures community connection through vegan food. At a local horticultural meeting, Cherie was reminded of how easy it can be to find familiar food territory with others: "Oh, we all eat plants, dear – nothing new in that," one member quipped.A Plant-Based Farmhouse celebrates exactly that timelessness, with more than 80 wholefood, dairy- and sometimes gluten-free recipes based on traditional plant-based country foods and cooking methods, along with veg-centric riffs on familiar homestead favorites. Whether it's inspiration for hearty salads, roasts and brunches, magnificent cakes and tarts, or go-to staples, there's so much deliciousness within these pages. Plant-based or otherwise, no one need miss out.
