Book Description
"Immerse yourself in a fascinating culinary journey through American dining from the mid-1970s through today. In a remarkable career that has spanned nearly 50 years, Wini Moranville has witnessed the American restaurant landscape transform from the inside out. At just shy of 14, she began a 10-year stretch working in a kaleidoscope of quintessential Midwestern eateries of the time. From the familiarity and warmth of a family-owned cafeteria, to the groovy vibe of a hippie-run vegetarian restaurant, from the graciousness of a department store tearoom, to the camaraderie of a downtown coffeeshop, and later, the dispiriting milieu of an exclusive private dining club, Moranville's hands-on experiences weave a vivid tapestry of the American restaurant landscape in the 1970s and 80s. In the mid-90s, the tables turned as Moranville became a prolific food and wine writer for national publications, as well as the dining critic for the Des Moines Register and later, dsm Magazine. During the past 25 years, she has written over 750 professional restaurant reviews. Here, she tells of the great evolution of the American dining scene that happened on her watch, as food become more ambitious, energetic, locally sourced, and globally purveyed. She also recounts, with humor and heart, the pleasures and pitfalls of being a well-known and highly trusted food critic, when, for instance, a readers will corner you at the supermarket if they disagree with what you've written. Amidst the vast changes that have occurred over the years, the book underscores the timelessness of what it is we seek when we entrust restaurateurs with our hard-earned money and our hard-won leisure time. Dining out may have changed dramatically since the 70s, but the joys of being in the hands of people who care deeply about our time at their tables have not"--

The Flavor Bible
Author: Andrew Dornenburg
Publisher: Little, Brown
ISBN: 0316039845
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 951
Book Description
Widely hailed as one of the most influential cookbooks of all time, this is the timeless classic guide to culinary creativity and flavor exploration, based on the wisdom of the world's most innovative chefs Eight years in the making, The Flavor Bible is a landmark book that has inspired the greatest creations of innovative cooks and chefs by serving as an indispensable guide to creativity and flavor affinities in today's kitchen. Cuisine is undergoing a startling historic transformation: With the advent of the global availability of ingredients, dishes are no longer based on geography but on flavor. This radical shift calls for a new approach to cooking -- as well as a new genre of "cookbook" that serves not to document classic dishes via recipes, but to inspire the creation of new ones based on imaginative and harmonious flavor combinations. The Flavor Bible is your guide to hundreds of ingredients along with the herbs, spices, and other seasonings that will allow you to coax the greatest possible flavor and pleasure from them. This astonishing reference distills the combined experience of dozens of America's most innovative culinarians, representing such celebrated and transformative restaurants as A Voce, Blue Hill, Café Atlántico, Chanterelle, Citronelle, Gramercy Tavern, the Herbfarm, Jardinière, Jean Georges, Le Bernardin, the Modern, and the Trellis. You'll learn to: explore the roles played by the four basic tastes -- salty, sour, bitter, and sweet -- and how to bring them into harmony; work more intuitively and effectively with ingredients by discovering which flavors have the strongest affinities for one another; brighten flavors through the use of acids -- from vinegars to citrus juices to herbs and spices such as Makrut lime and sumac; deepen or intensify flavors through layering specific ingredients and techniques; and balance the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of cooking and serving an extraordinary meal. Seasoned with tips, anecdotes, and signature dishes from the country's most respected chefs and pastry chefs, The Flavor Bible is an essential book for every kitchen library. For more inspiration in the kitchen, look for The Vegetarian Flavor Bible andKitchen Creativity.

SNIPPETS (bits and Pieces of Love and Life) by CAROLE
Author: Carole Christie Moore Adams
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1418444634
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
SNIPPETS (bits and pieces of love and life) by CAROLE, written in short chapters for picking up, reading a bit, and setting down, is one you will enjoy so much that you will be reluctant to set it down. The inspirational story of the love and life of Carole and John, her husband, who both view his Parkinson's Disease as just another facet of daily living, is told in vignettes of themselves and of their families, friends, homes, and animals. The witty, poignant sketches will cause you to laugh, cry, empathize, wonder, think, or feel the Snippet refers to you or someone you know. Her writing style scrambles together those of Erma Bombeck, Andy Rooney, and James Joyce. The book describes the couple's real life experience as their numerous "gray hairs," "wrinkles and bruises from stress, heartaches, headaches, accidents, diseases," and their "working, dancing, playing, and laughing" together will attest. Some of Carole's life before meeting John is revealed as she chats about a Perfect Family, Afraid, Running Away, A Single Stitch, Skates, Periwinkle Soup, Psychic, Kidnapping, Long Hair, Hurricanes, Bassoons, Blue Lips, and other topics. People of all ages will find these revelations by Carole Christie Moore Adams fascinating!

The Reincarnation of Love
Author: Rev. Dr. Evangeline Holloway
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1465318615
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 106
Book Description
The Reincarnation of Love was inspired by real life experiences and my ideology about love and passion for someone you love. The various love poems are meant for the institution of marriage. They reveal that Christians can be sexy and expressive also. The Reincarnation of Love has three prongs: the inspiration, the pain, and the love. It addresses the concepts of love infusion, love transfusion, a captive heart, and having a love infection. These concepts are brilliantly brought out in the various poems as well as the twisted plays of love versus new love. Then there are times when the new love appears to be infected and then resurrects itself again as the guiding light. Just when you think you have it all figured out, love reincarnates itself again in the exotic, sensual, yet tasteful metaphoric forms brought out in "Queen Crab Meat," "Coffee Shop," "Computer Story," and the "Attribute to Perfume." The book also addresses the controversy of "Women in the Pulpit" and provides words of encouragement and enlightenment to help empower individuals to move forward in life. Sit back and experience an emotional, spiritual, and challenging journey through the various phases of pain, love, romance, and spirituality like never before. Once you start reading this book, you cannot put it down.

Book Description
If only life came with a guarantee. Patrick McNaughton wants more. More people drinking Foghorn’s beer, more money to push their brewery past the competition, and more cooperation from his brothers, who have no sense of urgency. He’s all about conquering one challenge on his way to the next, so long as there’s a remote chance of winning. That’s why Aspen Pane sits in the office down the hall, oblivious to his attraction. Patrick has always wanted more with her, but he never was one to risk it all. Aspen Pane has more than enough. As business manager for Foghorn, she keeps the brewery in the black and lives up to the nickname the McNaughton brothers gave her—Wonder Woman. She’s worked hard her whole life for the money she now has in the bank, the small house she calls home, and time with her friends. So, even though it seems everyone close to her, including her brother, is inconveniently falling in love, Aspen sticks with her to-do list. Because love risks everything and she doesn’t do that for anyone. After an unexpected flight and an eccentric venture capitalist thrust them into a battle of wits and lies even they’re not sure they can win, Patrick and Aspen must learn the difference between making a connection and making money. They may need to face their fears and risk it all in the name of finding a new work-love balance. Below are courtesy content warnings to the best recollection. They cover the major topics/themes, but may not be as nuanced as other trigger/content warning sites. alcohol, hospitalization, loss of loved one, difficult mother/daughter relationship
