Bloomsbury Publishing Plc George Washington: A Biographical Companion
Book SynopsisThis encyclopedia offers an A–Z retrospective of George Washington's life, career, and historical significance, based in large part on Washington's own words and those of his contemporaries.George Washington dominated his era like few other Americans. Yet the complexity of the historic events he was involved in and the sheer magnitude of his correspondence—the most voluminous in colonial America—can be overwhelming for researchers.The goal of this volume is to make the larger-than-life figure of George Washington accessible to modern researchers. In its 200 entries readers will discover a detailed and surprising portrait. Washington was not a cold, aloof, and unknowable man, but was extremely convivial by nature; a general who commanded the Continental army without pay but was a better administrator than military strategist; a man of deeds whose appearance was, according to one contemporary, "truly noble and majestic;" a man known to his contemporaries for his complete honesty. Includes people who played a seminal role in Washington's life: Martha Dandridge Custis Washington, John Hancock, Robert Dinwiddie, James Rumsey, and others Explores Washington's many business interests: distillery, fisheries, Great Kanawha tracts, Mount Vernon, surveying Trade Review"[A] well-written and highly accessible reference tool." - American Reference Books Annual"[I]n the only encyclopedic works devoted to these presidents entries for people, events, and concepts are presented in an accessible A–Z format.

Book SynopsisNamed a Best Cookbook / Gift Book of the Year by Better Homes & Gardens, Library Journal, and Publishers Weekly The Must-Have Book That Will Teach You How to Cook Learning to cook has never been simpler—or more delicious—thanks to The Haven’s Kitchen Cooking School. Each of the book’s nine chapters centers on a key lesson: in the eggs chapter, readers will learn about timing and temperature while poaching, frying, and scrambling; in the soups chapter, they will learn to layer flavors through recipes like Green Curry with Chicken. The rigorously tested recipes—including wholesome lunches, dinner-party showstoppers, and delectable desserts—will become part of readers’ daily repertoires. Beautiful photographs show both the finished dishes and the how-to techniques, and helpful illustrations offer further guidance.Trade Review“At-your-own-pace lessons at home.”—Better Homes Gardens “A must-have for aspiring home cooks. So many people come to me and ask what book they should buy if they want to ‘learn how to cook.’ Until now, there really hasn’t been a book I could point them towards, but . . . Ali’s book offers a range of approachable recipes to help inspire and encourage the aspiring home cook to get into the kitchen and just do it.”—RealSimple.com “Forget the fancy cooking school—this book is all you need. If you’re just beginning to cook . . . or even if you’re an experienced cook who learned more from trial and error than formal training—Alison Cayne’s new book will be a welcome and trustworthy companion.”—Atlanta Journal-Constitution “Great for anyone who loves food but is befuddled as to where to begin in the kitchen.” —Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, 10 Favorite Cookbooks of the Year “A modern manual for home cooks that mixes recipes with how-to tips.” —Rachael Ray Every Day “Cayne brings both a teacher’s mindset and a student’s questions to The Haven’s Kitchen Cooking School. Each chapter, based upon a type of ingredient or dish, imparts a core technique and master recipe. Beans and grains are a lesson in ‘cooking with purpose’; soups teach the layering of flavors; salads composition, etc. The book’s magazine-like layout makes learning knife skills, frying, poaching eggs, and more easy. Even the simpler recipes are saved from being basic. . . . The recipes for sauces and dressings add up to a complete arsenal of fresh basics.”—Bon Appétit, 11 Spring Cookbooks You’ll Actually Cook From “Straightforward preparation instructions, stunning photographs (many step-by-step), and a cohesive graphic design that’s easy to navigate. VERDICT: Encouraging and accessible, this collection would make a wonderful gift for anyone who’s expressed an interest in learning to cook.”—Library Journal, starred review “Simple, clear graphic design makes the book approachable, and Cayne’s straightforward, friendly directions give would-be cooks confidence. . . . This book will remain a staple in kitchens long after readers have mastered the basics of boiling an egg and searing a steak.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review “This [book] makes cooking feel much less overwhelming if you’re a novice, or just want to get out of your roast-chicken rut and learn new techniques. Many cookbooks aimed at beginners are infantilizing; the language and tone here is smart and direct. . . . Approachable and stress-free.”—Grub Street “Delicious, easy.”—Vogue.com “Classical training without the tuition bill.”—PureWow.com “Explains the little things that can make a big difference.”—Oprah.com “Is the idea of cooking from scratch intimidating? Is your kitchen confidence subpar? Then I have the book for you. . . . Each of the more than 100 recipes is as delicious as it is educational. From a savory Pork Salsa Verde to the classic French dessert Clafoutis, Cayne is your savvy, super-supportive kitchen companion.”—BookPage “Filled with invaluable lessons, recipes, guidance, and inspiration for cooks of all levels, this book is an undeniable asset for every kitchen!”—Gail Simmons, food expert, TV host, and author of Talking with My Mouth Full “The Haven’s Kitchen Cooking School not only teaches the fundamentals of cooking but also shows you how to make the types of things you and yours really want to eat.”—Julia Turshen, author of Small Victories “Defies the many stiff tomes in its category with succinct clarity [and] a you-can-do-this spirit. . . .

Book SynopsisNamed one of Library Journal’s Best Religion & Spirituality Books of the YearAn Unorthodox Guide to Everything Jewish Deeply knowing, highly entertaining, and just a little bit irreverent, this unputdownable encyclopedia of all things Jewish and Jew-ish covers culture, religion, history, habits, language, and more. Readers will refresh their knowledge of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs, the artistry of Barbra Streisand, the significance of the Oslo Accords, the meaning of words like balaboosta,balagan, bashert, and bageling. Understand all the major and minor holidays. Learn how the Jews invented Hollywood. Remind themselves why they need to read Hannah Arendt, watch Seinfeld, listen to Leonard Cohen. Even discover the secret of happiness (see “Latkes”). Includes hundreds of photos, charts, infographics, and illustrations. It’s a lot.Trade Review“An illustrated, smart and comic guide, well-attuned to this moment.”—Jewish Week “Crams in just about everything you need to know about Jewish culture and history – from the Torah to Chinese food. . . . A weighty tome that just begs to be picked up, thumbed through, and quoted from. It is exhaustive but not exhausting, a thorough examination of Jewish themes presented as hors d’oeuvres to entice a larger meal.”—The Times of Israel “Deeply entertaining and highly educational. . . . Adding their thoroughly modern compendium to a long tradition of Jewish scholarship, the authors have served up a colorful array of all things Jewish for Jews and non-Jews alike.”—Broadway World “Alternately irreverent and profound—but always informative. . . . A great gift.”—BookPage “This delightfully irreverent romp through Jewish history and culture is the outgrowth of Tablet magazine’s podcast, Unorthodox, and considers itself the updated version of The Jewish Catalog (1973). As with Catalog, podcast hosts and coauthors Butnick, Liel Leibovitz, and Mark Oppenheimer claim this chronicle is not a comprehensive or exhaustive survey of all things Jewish. To that end, the biblical hero Judah Maccabee is “one kickass priest,” Jewish Community Centers are places “where Gentiles play racquetball,” and Long Island is “the other Promised Land.” Culturally, the authors make a convincing argument for Jews as “mediators of black music” and even responsible for the beloved Christmas tunes “White Christmas” and “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.” Bernie Madoff finds reference only under the generic moniker, shonde, or one who brings shame to the community, where he keeps company with Eliot Spitzer and Anthony Weiner. On a more serious note in a compilation filled with humor, brevity is the signature mark of that which requires mention, but not glory—Adolf Hitler, Nazis, and Auschwitz’s Arbeit Macht Frei (“work sets you free”) merit a single sentence each. VERDICT A welcome update on Jewish history and culture that is mostly just plain fun.—Library Journal, starred review “No dense, scholarly tome, this volume is pure fun, although serious topics are included. . . . . A reference work is rarely as readable as this one is. Informative and irreverent, welcoming and witty, it is enthusiastically recommended.”—Booklist

Book SynopsisTucked away on an estate in the countryside south of Palermo is the Anna Tasca Lanza Cooking School, a unique centre dedicated to preserving and sharing the great food culture of Sicily. The spirit of the school, now run by Fabrizia Lanza, the founder's daughter and scion of a renowned family of winemakers that goes back generations, is what makes Lanza's The Food of Sicily such a singular cookbook-not just a collection of recipes and techniques, but a vibrant and beautifully photographed profile of the land, the people, the history, and so much more.On every page, in every recipe and note, the author captures the distinct taste of Sicily. How the simplest antipasti, brightly seasoned with nothing but lemon or vinegar, open the appetite-like a classic Octopus Salad or dish of Sautéed Black Olives. The little fried somethings-like an arancine or panelle-are easy, welcome, and nourishing. The Fresh Cavatelli, Pasta with Eggplant and Tomatoes, Bucatini with Sardines and Wild Fennel, and the eye-opening Anelletti Timballo explain why Sicilians are the biggest pasta eaters in the world. Festive meat dishes-such as Lamb-Stuffed Pastry, an Easter staple, or Grilled Sausage with Bay Leaves and Onions-are festive because the moment it's holiday time, Sicilians everywhere head outside and fire up their grills. And for a people known for their passion for sweets, some famous Sicilian treats-Watermelon Pudding, Lemon Granita, Rolled Fig Cookies, and the pinnacle of desserts, the elaborate Sicilian Cake with Ricotta Cream and Marzipan. Along the way, the author delves into everything from cheese, couscous, and olives to Amaro and the importance of bitterness.Visitors to Sicily often sense it to be a place unlike anywhere else-lost in time and a little bit secretive. The Food of Sicily opens a bright window on it, celebrating this wonderful food culture while honouring everything that makes it special.Trade Review“This book evokes everything I love about Sicily—its diverse cuisines, its rustic timeless beauty, the land itself. Fabrizia is a born teacher as well as a brilliant cook. She serves a history lesson along with each meal, and the food is exquisite.”—Alice Waters, chef, restaurateur, and author“Fabrizia Lanza calls herself a hungry anthropologist. She understands that food means nothing without context; she knows every bite we eat has a story and a cultural connection. This book, as with everything Fabrizia touches, is smart, beautiful, and genuine. I am a hungry, grateful reader.” —David Tanis, chef and author“Of all of Fabrizia Lanza’s books, this one is my favorite. It’s filled with enticingly original recipes I can’t wait to make.”—Ruth Reichl, author of Save Me the PlumsTable of ContentsIntroduction Starters | Antipasti Chickpea Fritters (Panelle) Deep-Fried Rice Balls (Arancine) Ricotta Fritters (Ricotta Fritta) Fried Seafood (Fritto Misto di Pesce) Mussel Gratin (Gratin di Cozze) Octopus Salad (Insalata di Polipo) Citrus-Marinated Sardines (Sarde Marinate) Sautéed Black Olives (Olive Nere Saltate) Green Olive Salad (Insalata di Olive Verdi) Artichokes Preserved in Oil (Carciofi Sott’Olio) Soups | Minestre Fava Bean Soup with Poached Eggs (Macco di Fave con Uova in Camicia) Chickpea Soup with Tuma Cheese (Minestra di Ceci) Lentil Soup (Minestra di Lenticchie) Escarole Soup (Minestra di Scarola) Tenerumi Soup (Minestra di Tenerumi e Cucuzze) Fish Soup with Steamed Couscous (Zuppa di Pesce con Cùscus) Pasta and Rice | Pasta e Riso Pasta with Eggplant and Tomatoes (Pasta alla Norma) Penne with Fresh Tomatoes and Basil (Penne Picchio Pacchio) Everyday Tomato Sauce (Salsa Pronta) Pasta with Trapanese Pesto (Paccheri con Pesto Trapanese) Busiate with Bottarga (Busiate con Bottarga) Fresh Busiate Pasta (Busiate) Fresh Cavatelli (Cavatelli) Bucatini with Sardines and Wild Fennel (Bucatini con le Sarde e Finocchietto Selvatico) Bucatini with Cauliflower, Pine Nuts, and Raisins (Bucatini con Broccolo Arriminato) Pasta with Sausage and Broccoli (Pasta con Salsiccia e Sparacelli) Spaghetti with Anchovies and Toasted Bread Crumbs (Pasta con Acciuga e Mollica) Ravioli Filled with Ricotta and Mint (Ravioli Ricotta e Menta) Anelletti Timballo (Timballo di Anelletti) Borage Risotto (Risotto di Borragine) Citrus Risotto (Risotto Agli Agrumi) Fish | Pesce Sardines Stuffed with Bread Crumbs and Raisins (Sarde a Beccafico) Mackerel Dumplings in Tomato Sauce (Polpettine di Sgombro al Sugo) Mackerel Confit (Confit di Sgombro) Grilled Squid with Salmoriglio Sauce (Calamari alla Griglia con Salmoriglio) Breaded Swordfish (Pesce Spada Impanato) Swordfish Stuffed with Garlic and Mint (Ruota di Pesce Spada in Padella) Double-Crust Swordfish Pie (Impanata di Pesce Spada) Tuna Ragù (Tonna Ammuttunatu) Salt Cod Salad (Insalata di Baccalà) Meat | Carne Roast Chicken with Oranges (Pollo all’Arancia) Braised Rabbit with Black Olives and Rosemary (Coniglio alle Olive Nere e Rosmarino) Stewed Lamb with Fresh Mint and Saffron Potatoes (Spezzatino di Agnello alla Menta ePatate allo Zafferano) Lamb-Stuffed Pastry (Impanata di Agnello) Roast Pork with Mint and Garlic (Arista di Maiale) Grilled Sausage with Bay Leaves and Onions (Salsiccia con Alloro e Cipolla) Meat Roll-Ups (Involtini di Carne) Sicilian Meatloaf (Polpettone)Vegetables | Verdure Fennel-Orange Salad with Black Olives (Insalata Finocchio e d’Arancia con Olive) Tomato Purslane Salad (Insalata Pomodoro e Porcellana) Zucchini Carpaccio (Carpaccio di Zucchine) Potato Salad with Capers, Green Beans, and Red Onion (Insalata Capperi, Patate, e Cipolla Rossa) Honey-Roasted Fennel and Cardoons (Finocchi e Cardi al Miele) Stuffed Artichokes (Carciofi alla Frocia) Green Beans with Anchovies and Bread Crumbs (Fagiolini Ripassati) Eggplant Caponata (Caponata di Melanzane) Baked Eggplant (Melanzane al Forno) Baked Cauliflower with Black Olives and Cheese (Cavolfiore con Olive Nere e Formaggio) Spinach Flan (Flan di Spinaci) Pizza and Bread | Pizza e Pane Fried Calzone (Calzone Fritto) Scaccia from Ragusa with Tomatoes and Basil (Scaccia Ragusana con Pomodori e Basilico) Stuffed Pizza from Modica with Greens and Cheese (Impanata di Modica con Cicorie e Formaggio) Palermitan Pizza (Sfincione) Focaccia with Black Olives and Rosemary (Focaccia con Olive Nere e Rosmarino) Focaccia from Messina with Escarole and Tomatoes (Focaccia Messinese con Scarola e Pomodori) Christmas Sfoglio from Ragusa (Sfoglio di Natale di Ragusa) Desserts | Dolci Watermelon Pudding (Gelo di Mellone) Almond Granita (Granita alle Mandorle) Lemon Granita (Granita di Limone) Quince Poached in Red Wine (Melecotogne al Vino) Fried Dough Balls with Honey (Pignoccata) Rolled Fig Cookies (Buccellati) Ricotta-Filled Turnovers (Cassatelle di Ricotta) Knotted Lemon Cookies (Taralli) Queen’s Cookies (Biscotti Regina) Cannoli with Ricotta Cream (Cannoli con Crema di Ricotta) Fried Puffs of Saint Joseph (Sfince de San Giuseppe) Sicilian Cake with Ricotta and Marzipan (Cassata) Resources Acknowledgements Index
