Book description
Writer and broadcaster Peta Mathias is a woman who has never been
afraid to embrace life with all its glorious inconsistencies, joys and
heartbreaks. In Fabulous, she becomes every woman's confidante,
as she shares with us the wisdom she has learnt over years of living
outrageously. She is a woman who appreciates the importance of a
gorgeous pair of shoes and the perfect shade of lipstick. She knows
the value of good friends, great music, lively conversation, beautiful
surroundings and a one-way ticket to an exotic destination. And having
loved and lost - more than once - Peta also has her own theories on
why relationships begin and end. And then there's the sex chapter!
Inspirational, razor-witted and irresistibly funny, Fabulous
is a must-read for each and every fabulous woman out there.
Peta Mathias was born in New Zealand and began her career as a
registered nurse before moving to Canada, where she lived for six years
and worked as a toxicotherapist. She then lived in Paris for ten years
and worked as a chef and ran her own restaurant. Since 1990, she has
been based in Auckland, where she writes books and fronts prime-time
food and travel programmes. In 2006, she founded a company hosting
gastronomic adventures in Uzès in the south of France, Marrakesh and
Rajasthan, and in 2008 she set up her own television production company
to produce cookery DVDs and television series of her culinary trips.
