New at LAPA in June

Jun 4, 2019

Want to look good in the nude? Then you should buy Nude, our new #LCHF book for those who want their curves to be in the correct spot. We also have three powerful, eyebrow-raising novels on offer. Worry not – there is a lot for the younger ones, and for those who want to escape into a traditional romance.

Fiction

Fiction for June comprises a disturbing thriller, an oddball, quirky romance, and a young-adult novel about a boy who has to learn to stop running away, rather towards a goal.

Non-fiction

Nude: A banting and keto cookbook

Armand Aucamp

Recipe book

9780799393491

R295,00

Professor Tim Noakes says of Nude, “Unquestionably one of the very best low-carb recipe books available anywhere in the world.”

Nude is a banting and keto adventure. Tim Noakes has revolutionised the way South Africans eat. Banting has become a household term. The even more intense version of banting is becoming the latest buzzword: keto is short for ketogenic.

Nude is the stunning addition to the range of ever growing low-carb recipe books. Not only is it packed with mouth-watering low-carb recipes, it also contains specific ketogenic recipes.

The author is Armand Aucamp, one of South Africa’s best known actors and TV presenters. Armand is considered one of the country’s most attractive men, with a body to die for. His secret? He cooks for himself and he follows the banting and ketogenic lifestyle; eating nude, stripped-down food. Apart from acting, cooking has become one of Armand’s great passions.

Nude comprises 50 original recipes, from meat-based dishes and breakfasts to snacks, drinks and treats. Armand has tested and tasted each recipe himself.

The book is easy to use with step-by-step instructions and stunning photographs.
