Tod im Dschungel Costa Ricas: Die Biologin Robyn Devara soll mit einem großen Forscherteam nach einer unbekannten Papageienart forschen. Dann aber sterben zwei ihrer Mitarbeiter an Skorpionbissen, obwohl es in Costa Rica keine tödlichen Skorpione gibt, zwei weitere Männer sterben an Schlangenbissen, weil das Gegenserum aus Robyns Tasche entfernt wurde, und auch Robyn entkommt nur mit viel Glück einer todbringenden Schlange. Die Biologin, die lange einen Wilderer in Verdacht hatte, ihrem Team das Leben schwer zu machen, weiß plötzlich: Hier geht es um mehr als eine paar kostbare Papageien.

"Die junge, aufgeweckte Robyn macht Urlaub in einem kleinen Ort in der Nähe von Calgary. Doch an Erholung ist nicht zu denken. Zuerst erregt ein Umweltskandal die Gemüter, dann taucht die Leiche eines brutal ermordeten Mannes auf ..."--Page 4. of cover.

Just when you thought it couldn't get better than A Week in The Kitchen, Karen Dudley cooks up something amazing; the much anticipated Another Week in The Kitchen. Featuring a new range of mouth-watering recipes and beautiful photographs by Russel Wasserfall, Another Week in The Kitchen promises to be the ultimate kitchen companion.

Set in the remote logging town of Marten Valley, the story follows Robyn Devara, a field biologist dedicated to surveying old-growth forests for spotted owls. While her work is crucial for the conservation of the endangered species, it also poses significant challenges for the local community. As she navigates her professional responsibilities and the isolation of her personal life, Robyn grapples with the complexities of her mission and its impact on both the environment and the townspeople.

The aftermath of Perseus's victory over the kraken brings unexpected consequences as the creature's remains litter the shores of Greece. The townsfolk grow weary of the endless kraken-themed dishes, leading to frustration for Chef Pelops, who is particularly fed up with the culinary chaos. Amidst the humorous struggle to cope with the kraken's leftovers, the story unfolds with themes of excess and the challenges of culinary creativity in the face of overwhelming circumstances.

The Kitchen is a focal point for creativity where people from all walks of life come to feed their appetites as well as their ingenuity.

"Set a Table is Karen Dudley's newest offering, following in the footsteps of her ground-breaking and much-loved Week in The Kitchen books. The recipes are carefully selected to showcase exceptional flavour, but are easily achievable at home. Many of the recipes are well-loved signature dishes from The Dining Room that have been developed for home cooks to share. The Duck Salad with Cashews or the Seared Salmon Sashimi with Vietnamese Caramel are as triumphant as the Asparagus Avgolemono and the Indian-Spiced Cauliflower with Coconut Coriander Relish."--Website.
