Book SynopsisWine has been made commercially in Canada since the mid-1800s but Canadian wine has only really begun to register with professionals and consumers outside the country in the last few decades, as quality has dramatically improved. Canadian wine is now being exported in meaningful volumes to the USA, Asia and Europe and since the beginning of this century the number of wineries has increased more than 250 per cent. In recent years wine regions have been demarcated (with some divided into sub-appellations), provincial wine laws have been adopted and indigenous and hybrid vines have largely been replaced by Vitis vinifera varieties in the main wine regions. After taking readers through the history of winemaking in Canada, The Wines of Canada provides an overview of the country’s wine regions, their climate, soil and other geographic conditions, and explains noteworthy viticultural and winemaking techniques, such as the practice in some regions of burying vines to protect them from extreme winter temperatures. Phillips details key producers of the main wine-producing provinces (British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia), assessing their wines and providing relevant details for those planning winery visits. The book concludes with appendices covering vintage reports, Canadian wine festivals and provincial wine-selling laws. As the first comprehensive guide to one of the wine world’s rising stars, The Wines of Canada is an eye-opening book for scholars, students and wine aficionados alike.Trade ReviewThe wines of Canada is a serious, detailed look at the history, regions and individual producers of wines ... With Canada now playing host to more than 700 wineries nationwide, this is an essential guide. – Christine Austin, The Yorkshire Post

Book SynopsisA witty and immersive look at the history, mythology, science, and magical touch that makes whisky taste like a drop of gold. Braving the “all boys” clubhouse of the world of whisky has not been easy, but Shelley Sackier has managed to do just that out of her love for the drink. By turns funny and poignant and filled with vivid insight into this ancient craft, Make it a Double will persuade even a teetotaler to want a wee dram. As a woman whose first sip of whisky created the female doppelganger of a Mr. Yuk sticker, that experience produced a sharp realization that the liquid was foul, poisonous, and needlessly dirtied a previously clean glass. And then she met Scotland. Her curiosity and growing passion lit a fire—igniting a desire to learn more about this craft’s rich and vivid history and the need to break out of an old life and to become the mother, partner, and woman she has always sought to be. After completing a course in Scotland’s famed Bruichladdich Distillery, Shelley begins her path of writing about—and working within—the world of whisky. There has never been a better time for Shelley's inimitable voice to shed light on this intoxicating realm. Women are not only impressively contributing to the burgeoning sales of the spirit—making up nearly 40% of the whiskey-drinking population in the United States—but they are also growing in number as they enter in to, train within, and lead the industry with their determined creativity and innovation. In the tradition of Blood, Bones, and Butter, Make it a Double establishes Shelley Sackier as a fresh new voice in the lush world of culinary narrative.Trade Review"Make it a Double is the bible for whisky lovers and wannabes alike. Showcasing [Sackier's] amazing personality and extreme knowledge on the subject, Make it a Double should definitely be on your reading list." * Food & Beverage Magazine *“What a rich and rewarding blend of memoir, journal, and whisky insights. Shelley Sackier animates the text with her warm, engaging personality, and portrays her whisky journey with wit and wisdom. If this book was a dram it would have a rich, rounded character to savor, and lead to a long finish that provides plenty to think about.” -- Ian Wisniewski, writer and broadcaster, author of The Whisky Dictionary and four other books, contributor to Whisky Magazine and the Malt Whisky Yearbook“Shelley Sackier weaves the magic of Scotland into a tapestry of flavors, aromas, sounds, Gaelic language, audacious wit, intriguing landscape, and of course, whisky. Her writing is artistry through wordsmithing leaving me with an unquenchable yearning for a wee dram of whisky and an urge to run through the house wearing nothing but a sporran. Here’s to hoping there’s a follow up to Make It A Double!" -- Dave Scheurich * Original distiller of Woodford Reserve (1996-2011) and master distiller of Boondocks Whiskey Brands *“It's a story familiar to any whiskey geek—a sip of Scotch leads to an obsession and eventually a dream job at a distillery. Make it a Double follows one woman's journey merging her obsession with her profession." -- Maggie Kimberl, Content Editor, American Whiskey Magazine"Sackier, director of distillery education at Virginia’s Reservoir Distillery, details her 'unquenchable thirst' for all things whisky in this spirited and witty blend of memoir and booze history. The result yields an exhilarating taste of the world of whisky." * Publishers Weekly *

Book SynopsisWinner of a 2017 IACP Cookbook AwardFinalist for a Books for a Better Life AwardNamed one of the top health and wellness books for 2016 by Well + Good and MindBodyGreenFrom leading psychiatrist and author of Fifty Shades of Kale comes a collection of 100 simple, delicious, and affordable recipes to help you get the core nutrients your brain and body need to stay happy and healthy.What does food have to do with brain health? Everything.Your brain burns more of the food you eat than any other organ. It determines if you gain or lose weight, if you''re feeling energetic or fatigued, if you''re upbeat or depressed. In this essential guide and cookbook, Drew Ramsey, MD, explores the role the human brain plays in every part of your life, including mood, health, focus, memory, and appetite, and reveals what foods you need to eat to keep your brain''and by extension your body''properly fueled.Drawing upon cutting-edge scientific research, Dr. Ramsey identifies the twenty-one nutrients most important to brain health and overall well-being''the very nutrients that are often lacking in most people''s diets. Without these nutrients, he emphasizes, our brains and bodies don''t run the way they should.Eat Complete includes 100 appetizing, easy, gluten-free recipes engineered for optimal nourishment. It also teaches readers how to use food to correct the nutrient deficiencies causing brain drain and poor health for millions. For example: Start the day with an Orange Pecan Waffle or a Turmeric Raspberry Almond Smoothie, and the Vitamin E found in the nuts will work to protect vulnerable brain fat (plus the fiber keeps you satisfied until lunch). Enjoy Garlic Butter Shrimp over Zucchini Noodles and Mussels with Garlicky Kale Ribbons and Artichokes, and the zinc and magnesium from the seafood will help stimulate the growth of new brain cells. Want to slow down your brain''s aging process? Indulge with a cup of Turmeric Cinnamon Hot Chocolate, and the flavanols found in chocolate both increase blood flow to the brain and help fight age-related memory decline.Featuring fifty stunning, full-color photographs, Eat Complete helps you pinpoint the nutrients missing from your diet and gives you tasty recipes to transform your health''and ultimately your life.Trade Review"Dr. Ramsey crafts an accessible, actionable summary of the foods that will keep our brains sharp." -- Mehmet Oz, MD, Professor of Surgery at Columbia University "A clear and concise plan to tangibly make your life better through nutrient-dense food." -- Dallas Hartwig, New York Times bestselling author of The Whole30 "Eat Complete is a fresh, smart, relevant guide to nourishing your body and mind.

Book SynopsisTrade Review“A beautifully designed cocktail and lifestyle guide with hilarious stories from his life. Obsessed with cocktails and cocktail culture, the book is an ode to both great drinks and conversations with friends. . . . Paul has made an art and a science out of creating these elegant and festive environments and living his best life.” — Forbes The 45 Must-Read Books of Fall 2022. “The latest project from filmmaker Paul Feig (Bridesmaids, Spy) isn't on the big screen, but instead on the printed page. This tribute to Feig's love of a good cocktail (or two, or...) shares not only 125 recipes for his favorite drinks (and those of his famous friends) but also tips for throwing the perfect cocktail party and stories from his own star-studded life. We'll drink to that.” — Town & Country “It’s shocking that one person could have so many humiliating experiences and even more shocking that he chose to remember them. Kick Me is like an unofficial prequel to Freaks and Geeks. If anything, Paul Feig’s real stories are actually more harrowing than what his fictional characters went through.” — Ira Glass, host of This American Life, on Kick Me “I love Paul Feig’s sense of humor—in a platonic way. This book is hilarious. I recommend it to people like me. And to people who don’t like me.” — Garry Shandling on Kick Me “Feig is best known as the creator of the hilarious and lamentably short-lived television show Freaks and Geeks, which was set in the 1980s and chronicled the lives of high-school outsiders. Both those who miss the show and those who’ve never heard of it will enjoy Feig’s comical collection of essays about his own youth. . . . Whether he’s triumphant or humiliated, Feig is a droll storyteller.” — Booklist on Kick Me “It is certain to release a rush of memories in all who have finally come to grips with the awkwardness of having grown up. Primarily for the humor section of public libraries, this work might also provide some insight for psychologists specializing in adolescence.” — Library Journal on Kick Me “It bodes well that the dedication to this book is laugh-out-loud funny, and indeed, Feig (Kick Me) does not disappoint in this comedic tale of his early sex life, or lack thereof . . . . The account of his journey to sexual manhood is witty and entertaining and one to which any former sex-addled adolescent (male or female) will relate.” — Publishers Weekly on Superstud
