Cook, Eat & Live Right

₦15,000.00

When he was a baby, my son mimicked me snoring. He grew up seeing me prick my finger regularly to check my blood sugar levels. He saw me using the blood pressure monitor and expressing concerns about the out-of-range readings. He observed as I swallowed a cocktail of prescription pills. He knew that all was not well with Dad. Over the years, he gladly watched me lose weight, and he knew when I stopped snoring, he overheard me sharing with others that I was returning to good health.

This background explains why when he was about nine years old, he requested that as a mark of gratitude to God, I should share with others how I beat obesity, sleep apnea, high cholesterol, arrhythmia, diabetes and high blood pressure and stayed out of medications for most of the conditions I suffered. He wants me to tell you that you too can do it! Yes, you too can beat the cluster of chronic metabolic diseases and overcome their symptoms.

How To Feed A Dictator

₦4,500.00

Anthony Bourdain meets Kapuściński in this chilling look from within the kitchen at the appetites of five of the twentieth century’s most infamous dictators, by the acclaimed author of Dancing Bears.

What was Pol Pot eating while two million Cambodians were dying of hunger? Did Idi Amin really eat human flesh? And why was Fidel Castro obsessed with one particular cow?

Traveling across four continents, from the ruins of Iraq to the savannahs of Kenya, Witold Szabłowski tracked down the personal chefs of five dictators known for the oppression and massacre of their own citizens—Iraq’s Saddam Hussein, Uganda’s Idi Amin, Albania’s Enver Hoxha, Cuba’s Fidel Castro, and Cambodia’s Pol Pot—and listened to their stories over sweet-and-sour soup, goat-meat pilaf, bottles of rum, and games of gin rummy. Dishy, deliciously readable, and dead serious, How to Feed a Dictator provides a knife’s-edge view of life under tyranny.
