Truffles is no ordinary cat - in fact she would claim that she is very special indeed, and who would dare to argue with her? Her nineteen plus years of observing human behaviour, often mystifying and comical, have equipped her with all the wisdom and cunning necessary to use the human environment and its two-legged inhabitants to her best advantage and, as is the ambition of all cats, she has learnt how to make her existence as comfortable as possible. In this diary Truffles allows us to take a very privileged peek through her discerning eyes as she describes her thoughts and day-to-day activities (or lack of them!) Written in three weekly parts, the first from when she approaches her milestone sixteenth birthday followed up by catch-ups over the next two years, Truffles also recounts an assortment of amusing, true anecdotes from her past involving her feline and canine pals, but with the last laughs most often being on the hapless humans. What is quite clear is that twenty-first century cats are a far superior species in terms of getting what they want, when they want and with the minimum amount of effort, and the very humanised Truffles is no exception. She has her human carers well trained to carry out their expected feline-orientated duties to her exacting standards, is always one step ahead of them and knows exactly which buttons to press to get the desired effect... which only goes to prove that it is a cat's life after all!

Truffles, the celebrity tabby cat of mature years (it would be far too impolite to state her exact age here), puts pen to paper once again to share her unique and delightfully amusing observations of the human world around her, this time embarking on a totally new adventure on the ocean waves, finding her sea paws as she sets sail on a luxury (as befits a superior and sophisticated feline) ship with cruise aficionado Sheila, her long-term carer and provider of every possible need. New sights, sounds, smells, tastes and experiences face Truffles at every turn, from the tiresome car journey and undignified customs procedures to the mystifying and sometimes frightening onboard facilities and activities. Allowed to leave her stateroom to peruse all the non-eating areas - on a lead with matching collar, of course, and wearing a purrfectly preened catsuit - Truffles revels in being the centre of attention, maintaining an outward air of decorum at all times, even when her nine lives are tested to the core. A fantastic insight into the mind of a cat and the puzzles and mysteries created by events and practices that we all take for granted without question, and also a tantalising taster for those humans that haven't yet been tempted by the cruising lifestyle. One thing's for sure: Truffles can highly recommend it (oh, and Sheila, too)!

Truffles is no ordinary cat – in fact she would claim that she is very special indeed, and who would dare to argue with her? Her fifteen-plus years of observing human behavior, often mystifying and comical, have equipped her with all the wisdom and cunning necessary to use the human environment and its two-legged inhabitants to her best advantage and, as is the ambition of all cats, she has learned how to make her existence as comfortable as possible. In this short diary Truffles allows us to take a very privileged peek through her discerning eyes, as she describes her day-to-day activities (or lack of them!) and thoughts during one week in the summer of 2004 as she approaches her sixteenth birthday, and recounts an assortment of amusing anecdotes from her past, the last laughs most often being on the hapless humans. What is quite clear is that twenty-first-century cats are a far superior species in terms of getting what they want, when they want and with the minimum amount of effort, and the very humanized Truffles is certainly no exception. She has her human caretakers well trained to carry out their expected feline-oriented duties to her exacting standards, is always one step ahead of them and knows exactly which buttons to press to get the desired effect … which only goes to prove that it is a cat’s life after all!

Seventeen-year-old upper-class tabby cat, Truffles, is now one year older and one year wiser since she last allowed us to peek into one week of her private diary. As observant as ever, which is very surprising considering that her policy is to sleep 22 hours a day, she is keen to share more amusing anecdotes about her life as an employer of human caretakers. Reminiscing about her past feline and canine friends, Truffles once again flies the banner of superiority of the feline species over her canine and human counterparts, scoffing at the inferior intelligence and disgusting habits of the former as well as at the valuable eating and sleeping time that the latter expend on seemingly futile and thankless tasks. As always, Truffles ensures that her human caretakers give her due deference at all times and perform their duties to the highest standard, proving yet again that the cat always gets the cream - a fact that politician Ann Widdecombe, who has kindly written a fitting foreword for this book, knows only too well, having been expertly trained by her own tubby tabby, Arbuthnot.

Following on from the success of her previous book, All at Sea with Truffles, Sheila Collins continues on the theme of cruising, with the story being picked up by her mischievous grey and white cat, Misty. In this fictional account, Misty takes us on a journey on board ship, as we experience life at sea through the eyes of a cat. Being an independent kind of animal, Misty naturally seeks out different adventures to her predecessor, Truffles, with hilarious consequences. With a foreword by former MP and cat lover Ann Widdecombe, Miaow There! It's Misty at Sea provides the reader with a humorous insight into the mind of a cat. From the many different sights, sounds and smells to the strange and wonderful people she encounters, Misty will give you a tantalising taste of life on board a cruise ship as she travels with her best friend and owner, Sheila. This charming tale will appeal to anyone who has ever been on a cruise, or has thought about going on one, and to all cat lovers everywhere.

Desert truffles are found in every known desert, irrespective of the habitat – cool or hot, loamy or acidic, sandy or heavy soil – the only common condition seems to be a limited supply of water. In contrast to ‘true’ truffles, desert truffles have evolved over time in different families, mainly within the order Pezizales. While in some arid areas, desert truffles have been traditionally used as food, in most regions interest has only recently been increasing, and truffles are now treasured for their nutritional value, as an income source and for research. This volume gives a comprehensive overview of the phylogeny, biology, mycorrhizal association, and distribution of desert truffles, their use, biochemical and medicinal properties, as well as their domestication and cultivation.

Once the exclusive preserve of the kitchens of kings, now truffles are available to anyone with a pig, a dog, a deep wallet or a highly developed olfactory organ. The nose knows, you see. The golden nose will find the truffle and dine out for months on tales of underground prowess in solving the cultivation mystery of the magical vegetable. Half root, half mushroom, the truffle is crown prince of the underground, and because they give off the same odor as the male hormone testosterone, that's where our trained animal associates come in. They know the score, know what's worth hunting for. It's about priorities, and this volume is absolutely on the same track. Not so much a book as a hymn to the truffle experience, it's all here. Learn how the Romans esteemed the big T, follow its progress across the plates of centuries, gaze at the mouth-moistening pictures, and then put your boots on and start looking. Truffle heaven is here. With all-courses recipes from leading truffle-meister Patrick Jaros, who's worked with Munich superchef Eckhart Witzigmann, you too can be a gourmet god. Forget the Lottery, forget the holy grail, somewhere there are truffles with your name on. The Gold Rush has nothing on this.
