Our Maman team have gathered together the books we are loving and can’t seem to put down. We hope this gives you some inspiration and potentially a new book to add to your Wishlist. 

                  

"Brilliantly written with a real feel of detail involved. A combination of a love story and a “who dunnit” mystery that probes the true value of art."

From Kate

"This is a beautifully written memoir. It’s had me up all night, reading to find out what happens next. There’s heartbreak, joy, and lots of love. Trust me, have your tissues ready!"

From Emma

"I have found this book has so many useful health and well-being facts which have helped me know the ins and outs of my body."

From Jordan

"I read this book through school and fell in love with the main character and the theme of the story. I have read the book every year from when it was introduced to me."

From Aislyn

"This book was an absolute inspiration to me and highlighted incredible accomplishments by empowering women."

From Mari

"This is one of my go back to read books. An incredibly stylish woman who was originally a tanned and blonde girl called Heather Sweet who became someone else, she made herself a successful businesswoman and a worldwide known."

From Rose

 

After much testing and investigation, we have decided that nothing can beat the classic Edmonds Cookbook Banana Loaf. 

1 ¾ cups Champion self-raising flour
¼ teaspoon Edmonds baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup sugar
2 eggs
¼ cup milk
75g butter, melted
1 cup mashed banana

Sift flour, baking soda and salt into a bowl. Mix in sugar. In another bowl beat eggs. Stir in milk, butter and banana. Mix quickly into dry ingredients, stirring until ingredients are just combined. Spoon into a greased and lined 22 cm loaf tin. Bake at 180 degrees for 45 to 55 minutes. Keep checking your loaf as every oven is different. Leave in tin for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.

 

We put our thinking hats on and have created the Maman Must-Watch Movie List. These are great movies to watch with a cup of tea and a piece of banana bread!

We hope our recommendations have helped to inspire you and keep you entertained whilst we are staying indoors. If you do read, eat or watch any Maman recommendations, snap a photo and tag us on Instagram as we would love to see!

Stay safe and be kind to each other.
