Alissa's seen the light in Michele Obama's new release, while also sharing tips when dealing with Difficult People, the new book from Dr Rebecca Ray. 

Sal has read five books and attempts to recap them succinctly. She fails. She loved Gabrielle Zevin's epic Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, a perfect read for your next book club. Heather Darwent's The Things We Do To Our Friends is not for the weak-stomached, well-written, but evil as hell. 

She also dives into three debut Australian authors. All That's Left Unsaid by Tracey Lien has been longlisted for the Stella Prize. It is set in Cabramatta and looks at Vietnamese culture and immigration, Saman Shad's The Matchmaker is a fun romance that looks at Pakastani culture in Paramatta, and she talks about bereavement catering in Dianne Yarwood's The Wakes. All three books are rich in food, culture and conversation

Alissa has cooked from two new release cookbooks - RecipeTin eats and Yumi Stynes' The Food Fix. Adore. Consider meals for the School Holidays sorted.

Season 2 of read, eat, repeat is here - coming at you monthly with a round-up of the books we have read and the deliciousness it has inspired us to cook (or not). 

Alissa's read Tina Brown's The Palace Papers (Sally listened to the audio book) and now they are both Royal tragics... Alissa's also read The Paper Palace by Miranda Cowley Heller. 

Sal has read Holly Ringland's second novel The Seven Skins of Esther Wilding, as well as Maggie O'Farrell's The Marriage Portrait. Both highly recommended for different reasons. 

The girls have also been cooking - Sal's mum gave her A Year of Simple Family Food by Julia Busuttil Nishimura and has cooked the Summer recipes within it - the Slow-roasted Tomatoes with Mint and Mozzarella is a BBQ fav. 

It is so wonderful to be back in your ears. Follow us for more!
