Gefen Publishing House Recipes of My 15 Grandmothers: Unique Recipes and
Book SynopsisThis is a collection of recipes and stories from the times of the Crypto-Jews - who were hiding and pretending to be Catholic during the Spanish Inquisition while practicing their Judaism underground through the present. The grandmothers of the family devised clever ways to disguise the fact that they were still keeping kosher while appearing to be eating pork. Until modern times, the family pretended to be devout Catholics, yet passed many of the Jewish customs on, sometimes in the form of these recipes, their true legacy. For several hundred years they hid their fasts and celebration of Jewish holidays, revealing them only via their recipes and some kosher kitchen customs. This collection was found recently, hidden away at Genie Milgroms mothers house.

National Geographic Society What to Eat When
Book SynopsisReveals how the food choices you make each day can affect your health, your energy, your waistline, your attitude, and how you age.Trade Review“This well-organized, accessible guide to healthful eating by two well-known medical consultants, both affiliated with the Dr. Oz Show, is sure to be widely popular with health-conscious readers.” –Library Journal“I'm so excited for this book you guys. With the new year comes this flood of resolutions and some of them are healthier lifestyles (I'm on that train with y'all🙋🏻) and this freaking book is here to help us!!” –Instagram: @thebookishsisters “The most helpful advice I found was to eat within a 12-hour period each day, which means fasting for 12 hours a day.” –Bookchickdi “This gem of a book is so great for dipping in and out of for great information.” –Instagram: @wordsandblooms “Despite the science it was accessible and amusing, with plenty of examples of foods to eat.” –Instagram: @bookmadbarlow “I enjoyed how the book provided different scenarios so you can cater the plan to your own lifestyle, such as what to eat on a first date, at a stadium, or during the holidays- places where even the healthiest eaters struggle.” –Instagram: @thelastbiteblog“…great tips on getting the most out of food, like vegetable preparation and freezing. I appreciated “The Sub Shop” segments which acknowledged not-so-healthy traditions but offered better plans…After initially skimming the book, I immediately went to Chapter 35, “What to Eat…When you Don’t Want to Lose Your Mind.” The authors do have a sense of humor, especially in this chapter.” –Eliot’s Eats“I generally trust National Geographic to get their facts and science right, so that's a big plus for this informative and fun to read book by two doctors who are associated with The Dr. Oz Show.” –Beth Fish Reads“Dr. Michael Roizen and Dr. Michael Crupain—the two doctors I always turn to for the latest scientific discoveries—explain that timing really is everything in this insightful, fun, and revolutionary book. What to Eat When shows that when you eat is just as important as what you eat—and reveals the right foods for life's toughest circumstances.” –Dr. OzThe writing is hilarious and relatable, and one of the author’s love for salmon only made me crave it more. I gave this book 5 stars because of how informative it is and because it actually helped me look inward and make conscious decisions to change some aspects of my eating habits…As a person who has suffered from chronic migraines for the past eleven years, I am actually eager to start implementing some of the tips this book provided for me. I can’t recommend this book enough! –Instagram: @giuliland“There are so many ways to eat and so many diets out there, I don’t know if it’s one size fits all and that’s what I love about this book. It offers a scientific approach to eating, written by two doctors who know their stuff.” –Literary Quicksand“What a lovely refreshing and bright health book!...I think you learn a thing or two by reading this book… It is very scientific but easy to read. It will help you make lifestyle swaps but would also appeal to those seeking help with health issues such as ‘What to eat to improve fertility’ and ‘What to eat when you want to reduce inflammation’. It’s worth a read.” –Instagram: @readingwithwine “It really does matter what you eat, not just how much. And now, two of my favorite doctors take our collective knowledge a step further by looking at the timing of when you eat your calories: your circadian rhythm dictates a lot more about when you should eat than you probably realize. Through clear-eyed writing and diligent research, Drs. Roizen and Crupain explain why The When Way might just be the best approach to eating.” –Sanjay Gupta“When we think about eating, we focus—as we should—on the quality and quantity of what we eat. It’s becoming clear that we also need to think about chronology—when we eat. Drs. Roizen and Crupain’s fun and revealing exploration of the biology of timing and eating will help you eat the way your body really wants you to." –Andrew Weil

Do you suffer from brain fog, lack of focus, or poor memory? Do you run out of energy halfway through the day? Do you have unwanted cravings? If you answered ?yes? to any of these questions, join the club!In this revolutionary book, Dr. Anna Cabeca shares a proven way to finally give you the results you want, need, and deserve. There is no question that going keto works. This strict high-fat/low-carb diet denies the body glucose as a main source of energy and instead promotes the production and use of ketone bodies as fuel. It?s a great way to move you off a weight plateau, gain willpower, and get results fast. But going keto also often results in gastrointestinal discomfort, low energy, and moodiness?known as the ?keto flu??which makes the diet hard to sustain.The solution? Add alkaline foods?leafy greens, other vegetables, broths, healthy oils, nuts, and seeds?for a lifestyle that?s more sustainable and easier on your body. In other words: Go Keto-Green and thrive!A triple-board-certified physician, Dr. Anna Cabeca developed her method through years of careful patient and test-panel research. InKeto-Green 16, she explains the science behind her innovation: Hormone production dips as a woman ages, leading to increased visceral fat. By pairing keto-diet staples with foods that bring the body?s pH to a more alkaline level, you?ll shed belly fat while balancing the hormones responsible for that bulkier midsection. And by fueling your brain with ketones?like rocket fuel instead of gasoline?you?ll make better decisions, including healthier choices for what to eat. The unique nutritional balance of theKeto-Green 16diet also boosts mood.With 16 days of what-to-eat instructions (including a version for vegetarians and vegans); more than 50 delicious breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack recipes; information about the 16 best alkaline foods; a 16-hour intermittent-fasting strategy; 16-minute HIIT exercise routines; and a chapter outlining the specifics of the nutritional plan just for men;Keto-Green 16will ensure that you skip the flu and get on with rapid and amazing weight loss.

Carnegie Publishing Ltd Please pass the scones: A social history of
Book SynopsisThere are few customs as quintessentially English as afternoon tea. From being the preserve of the privileged classes, to the universally enjoyed and infinitely varied occasion that it is today, afternoon tea is loved and appreciated all over the world. In Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee year, it seems fitting that a tradition which was popularised by a previous queen of England and a duchess should be celebrated with the publication of a wonderful new book on the subject. In 'Please pass the scones: a social history of English afternoon tea', social historian and author Gillian Perry takes us on a highly entertaining whistle-stop tour, enhanced by many luscious illustrations to make you salivate, and to bring forth your own wonderful memories. The book covers many aspects of the afternoon tea story, including its origins, etiquette, dress codes, and the rise and fall of once essential tea table features such as the slop bowl and the paper doily. The precise elements that make up an afternoon tea may vary – fine crockery, silver spoons, a traditional three-tiered cake stand or a thoroughly modern alternative, delicate sandwiches, party themes, miniature sweets, fizz. But there are two things that cannot be omitted: a steaming pot of the flavoursome liquid that all the delicious edible treats pivot around, and a fresh, scrumptious scone. How do you make the optimum cup of tea? What height should the perfect filled scone be, and is it jam or cream first? What is the tea-related origin of the expression ‘the dregs of society’? Why were tea gowns frowned upon in Victorian society? Gillian Perry answers these and hundreds of other questions in a story that involves smuggling and scandal as much as refinement and high society. Her style is readable, amusing and informative, in this beautifully produced, unique book that will be a perfect gift for someone special in Platinum Jubilee year.

Pegasus Books Have You Eaten Yet: Stories from Chinese
Book SynopsisAn eye-opening and soul-nourishing journey through Chinese food around the world.*A PEOPLE MAGAZINE BEST NEW BOOK**A NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW EDITOR'S CHOICE**A NEW YORK POST BEST NEW BOOK* From Cape Town, South Africa, to small-town Saskatchewan, family-run Chinese restaurants are global icons of immigration, community and delicious food. The cultural outposts of far-flung settlers, bringers of dim sum, Peking duck and creative culinary hybrids, Chinese restaurants are a microcosm of greater social forces. They are an insight into time, history, and place. Author and film-maker Cheuk Kwan, a self-described “card-carrying member of the Chinese diaspora,” weaves a global narrative by linking the myriad personal stories of chefs, entrepreneurs, labourers and dreamers who populate Chinese kitchens worldwide. Behind these kitchen doors lies an intriguing paradox which characterises many of these communities: how Chinese immigrants have resisted—or have often been prevented from—complete assimilation into the social fabric of their new homes. In both instances, the engine of their economic survival—the Chinese restaurant and its food—has become seamlessly woven into towns and cities all around the world.

WW Norton & Co The Secret of Cooking Recipes for an Easier Life
Book SynopsisTrade Review"As a writer, I couldn’t stop reading Bee Wilson’s chatty, smooth prose in The Secret of Cooking, my new kitchen companion. As a cook, it delights me to know that if I work through every recipe in this book—which reads like an essay for living as much as a witch’s Book of Shadows—I will learn something new about cooking with each one. Some recipes are essentials, such as Ms. Wilson’s “universal sauces”: her go-to red curry, cilantro chutney and tomato sauce. And others, like her butter-poached carrots, may positively change your life. The lessons here are humble yet lasting." -- Eric Kim - New York Times"Reading [The Secret of Cooking] feels like talking to a therapist who’s trying to break you out of a cooking rut. . . . Wilson’s approach feels liberating and reminds me that cooking for joy or just to get by isn’t just okay but welcome." -- Genevieve Yam - Bon Appétit"Bee Wilson is a dreamy writer. . . . She focuses like a laser beam on the things that make capable cooks capable. . . . The Secret of Cooking will build on what you already know in the kitchen, help you refine how you think about food, and very likely take your kitchen confidence—and the pleasure you get from cooking—to new heights." -- Sheryl Julian - Boston Globe"The way [Wilson] writes, like how I imagine she cooks, is personal and breezy, sweeping the reader along to address the task at hand." -- Florence Fabricant - New York Times"Wilson walks readers through the actual magic that can happen in a kitchen when a cook dials into their unique set of circumstances (access to ingredients, tools and even their mood) to show that the home kitchen can be a more comfortable and creative place. Wilson advises that it’s OK to cut corners, it’s OK to have preferences and, most importantly, it’s OK to make mistakes because all of that makes you a better cook. Though there are recipes like “soup for frayed nerves,” the whole is more manifesto than cookbook, a guide on how to use your kitchen in a way that is generous, malleable and fun." -- Korsha Wilson - Food & Wine"Earnest and accommodating. . . . It’s no surprise that Secret is as much a joy to curl up with as it is to cook from; you’ll be reminded of Wilson’s endearing prose every time you peel a carrot or reach for a metal spider." -- Bettina Makalintal - Eater"I somehow got my hands on an early copy of Bee Wilson’s The Secret of Cooking, and I’ve been using it ever since. A lot of cookbooks promise a less stressful, more enjoyable, life in the kitchen, as this one does. But you only have to look at Wilson’s section headings to know she is going to be true to her claims. . . . She is about probability, not possibility; she wants her reader to cook for the life they have rather than for some impossible fantasy existence, because this is how she cooks herself, every day. Every page is full of tricks and shortcuts and substitutions: 15 pages alone are devoted to that simple but immensely useful and versatile bit of kit, the box grater. (NB it really isn’t just for cheese.)" -- Rachel Cooke - Guardian"Bee Wilson’s book is like being invited into a warm, cozy kitchen for a cup of tea. Her writing, her recipes and her warm style of talking about food makes you want to cook your way through much of the book. She understands that we all live busy, crazy lives and often it’s challenging to find time for cooking." -- Kathy Gunst - WBUR"[Wilson] devotes more than 400 pages to dismantling the roadblocks that stand in the way of that pleasure—time, money, guilt, fear, anxiety, insecurity and a raft of other emotions—to help us figure out ways of cooking that work for us." -- Susan Puckett - Atlanta-Journal Constitution"The beauty of The Secret of Cooking lies in Wilson’s attention to things that often go unnoticed or unsaid. Whether prompting you to take a fresh look at a ubiquitous tool or everyday ingredient or inviting you to time cooking tasks with songs instead of a clock, her advice makes moments in the kitchen more enjoyable." -- Laura Brehaut - National Post"Bee Wilson is . . . a witty and informed companion on everything from marmalade to table manners." -- Ed Cumming - The Telegraph Magazine"Food writer Bee Wilson is like a kind older sister. . . . She gives us strategies—how to figure out what flavors go together so you can use what you have, how to build a repertoire of favorites for your family that everybody will really look forward to, and the most important thing, how to cut yourself some slack when everything goes wrong. Basically, she keeps saying you should cook for the family you have, for the palate you have and for the life you have." -- Jennifer Vanasco - NPR Weekend Edition"Absolutely grand. . . . Wilson tosses in practical tips along the way, but the overall message comforting me is her reminder that, 'The best way to cook anything is the one that works best for you and your life right now.'" -- Rebekah Denn - The Seattle Times"Wisdom and notes from a lifetime of reading, thinking, cooking, and eating. And it’s not just about food but about how we live, and how we look after ourselves and each other." -- Diana Henry"Bee Wilson is the ultimate kitchen friend: smart, funny, conscientious and patient, this is a book you’ll want to spend time with, in and out of the kitchen." -- Itamar Srulovich and Sarit Packer, authors of Honey & Co: Food from the Middle East"It’s not often that a genuinely game-changing cookbook comes out, but this accomplished, approachable and helpful book—its writing as nourishing as the recipes—is most definitely it. Quite frankly, there’s not a kitchen that should be without a copy of The Secret of Cooking." -- Nigella Lawson"Reading The Secret of Cooking is like sitting in a warm kitchen with an exceptionally articulate friend. I don’t need a lot of convincing to pick up a pan, but Wilson’s tips are so clever, her recipes so tempting, and her vignettes of family life so candid, that this is a book I can read for pleasure alone." -- Niki Segnit, author of The Flavour Thesaurus"A wonderful book filled with great things to eat, and wisdom, wit and much kindness." -- Susie Boyt, author of Loved and Missed"The Secret of Cooking is just magnificent. Part cookbook, part kitchen philosophy, it's beautifully written, eternally wise and impossible to put down. Plus recipes you'll return to again and again." -- Tom Parker Bowles, on Twitter"Bee Wilson might be the most honest food writer out there. . . . In addition to simple, comforting recipes that she really truly walks you through, [The Secret of Cooking] is packed with advice on 'cooking from a standing start' (i.e. when your best self didn’t think to soak the beans overnight) and three things she knows to be true about feeding picky young eaters. (Each of her three kids was particular in their own way.)" -- Jenny Rosenstrach, author of Dinner: A Love Story"Wilson’s book provides plenty to learn for all levels of home cooks who have the desire to indulge in the contemplation and wisdom she provides." -- Sarah Tansley - Library Journal
