Shimmer Book - $34.99 each

Death is one journey you truly take by yourself

SHIMMER (Exisle Publishing, $34.99) is the remarkable account of the last days of one woman’s life.

Step inside one woman’s very private world as Basia and her brothers gather to watch over their mother during the last thirteen days of her life. Heartrendingly poignant, SHIMMER is touched with moments of humour and great insight, as author Basia Bonkowski shares her mother’s life - and death - with us.

As a girl her mother fled the Russians as they advanced through Poland during World War II. As a young wife she came to Australia with her husband and infant son to forge a new life. Hers is a story of heartache and loss, of secrets and dreams. Her legacy is one of survival, of embracing the migrant experience. Now, as she reaches the end of her journey, the family is forced to face the hardest question of all: when the time comes, will they be able to let her go?

Basia's lyrical prose and sharp eye for detail create an unforgettable account of her family over three generations. SHIMMER is a moving tribute to the healing strength of the human spirit and the ties that bind.

40% from each book sold through Hospice will be donated back to North Shore Hospice.

EatSmart Book - $30 each + $5 p&p

The perfect family cookbook for healthier eating

Accessible and affordable, EatSmart is packed with simple recipes and fun tips to make small, easy changes to your meals that add up to a healthier diet.

Life is busy and time is short. We all want to live a healthy lifestyle but we don't want to give up living to do it, so the Cancer Society has developed EatSmart to fit into your life. In this simple cookbook there are no strange or expensive ingredients, no complicated recipes, no weird food that the kids won't eat - just easy-to-prepare family food that is good for you.

You can stack the odds in your favour for a healthy life just by eating fruit and vegetables because the research tells us that eating '5 + a DAY' will reduce your risk of cancer. But many of us struggle to get all the servings in each day, so EatSmart is here to show you simple tricks and tips for eating healthier. And, sometimes, you won't even notice!

EatSmart includes three types of recipes:

Full recipes:
These are recipes like you're used to; what you need is listed on the left side and how to make it on the right. Step-by-step instructions make it easy to follow. Recipes include:

• Chicken and vegetable paella
• Italian stuffed chicken breasts
• Crusty beef and vegetable pie
• Chunky family tacos with refried beans
• Lamb falafels with minted yoghurt dip
• Thai pork curry
• Baked fish wrapped in prosciutto
• Roasted vegetable lasagna
• Blackberry and chocolate self-saucing pudding.

EatQuick recipes - even simpler! These are ideas or concept recipes, so no quantities are given. We give you the idea and the basic 'how to' and you can add what you have in the cupboard. Concept recipes include:

• Stuffed capsicum
• Kiwifruit salsa
• baked plums
• winter soup
• monster mash
• kumara chips
• spinach pasta
• fruit kebabs.

Quick Tips - These are simple ideas on how to use fruit and veg and how to make them go further, including:

• Carrots - keep a stack of sliced carrots in a jar of water in the fridge. They're good for chomping on after school and at night if you're watching TV.
• Pears - add fruit to winter casseroles and stews. Diced or sliced pears or apples can easily be added to a pork,
• chicken or beef casserole. Add them in the last 30 minutes of cooking so that they are soft but not mushy when served. Pears love spices too, so don't forget to add them to curries or tagines.
• Broccoli - home-made pizzas are scrummy and they are an easy way to add in extra vegetables. Add some small blanched broccoli florets under a sprinkle of cheese and the kids will never know!

EatSmart also includes a meal planner and suggested shopping lists.
