Li Ang's highly charged fiction has brought her worldwide attention.

Written in a humorous, fun style, Cooking with the Kosher Butcher’s Wife is like no other cookery book. It will keep eager meat lovers entertained as they try out Sharon Lurie’s delicious recipes. After 30 years of experimenting, creating and improvising, Sharon finally dispels the old myth that, because cooking with kosher meat means eating only from the forequarter, meals are limited to tough, dry and boring meat! She proves that kosher meat is of the highest grade and quality, and by means of notes and tips, and tried-and-tested recipes, helps the reader prepare mouth-watering beef dishes, as well as wonderful lamb, veal and poultry fare. Other recipes include marinades, soups, deli delights, side dishes, vegetables and unforgettable desserts. All the recipes in Cooking with the Kosher Butcher’s Wife are also suitable for the lactose intolerant. With the many non-dairy substitutes available today, Sharon proves that non-dairy desserts can be just as delectable as their dairy counterparts.

Celebrating with the Kosher Butcher's Wife can be described as 'cooking throughout the Jewish year'. The Jewish calendar has many significant festivals and, inevitably, food plays a major role in the celebrations. Each chapter covers a different festival: Pesach, Shavuot, Rosh Hashanah, Sukkot, Channukah, Purim, and Shabbat. Sharon Lurie brings a contemporary feel to traditional dishes, and the pages are infused with amusing anecdotes, delicious recipes and beautiful full-colour photographs.

After highly successful outings with her first two books, Sharon Lurie, aka the Kosher Butcher’s Wife, decided that it was time to make it official and combine the influences of her culinary heritage as both a kosher cook and a proud South African. As she says, South African cuisine is as deliciously diverse as its inhabitants, from the many indigenous peoples to the waves of immigrants and settlers who have made the southern part of Africa their home. In A Taste of South Africa with the Kosher Butcher’s Wife, Sharon Lurie takes you on an adventure through South Africa’s diverse and iconic dishes, but with traditional Jewish culinary twists. The mouth-watering recipes often include non-dairy options. And don’t think because Sharon is the Kosher Butcher’s Wife that she only thinks about meat dishes; there are ideas from starters to sweets with everything in between. An in her inimitable style, Sharon will keep you laughing along the way.

In the fantastic tradition of Borges, Bruno Schulz, Angela Carter, and H. P. Lovecraft, here are nearly sixty unforgettable stories that ignore the confines of space and time to offer, among other times and places: a cabinet of curiosities in contemporary Cairo, an alvhemical ceiling in 18th-century Naples, the hallucinatory inner worlds of psychotics, anthropomorphic planets, and an Old West ruled by necromancy.This expanded, revised edition collects the complete short stories of one of the most immaginative writers of our time.

Itsik Malpesh was born the son of a goose-plucking factory manager during the Russian pogroms - his life saved on the night it began by the young daughter of a kosher slaughterer. Or so he believes… Exiled during the war, Itsik eventually finds himself in New York, working as a typesetter and writing poetry to his muse, the butcher's daughter, whom he is sure he will never see again. But it is here in New York that Itsik is unexpectedly reunited with his greatest love - and, later, his greatest enemy - with results both serendipitous and tragic. His story is recounted in his memoirs thanks to the most unlikely of translators - a twenty-one-year-old Boston Catholic college student who, in meeting Itsik, has embarked upon a great lie that will define his future and the most extraordinary friendship he'll ever know.
