Book Description
What’s the deal? Why’s Lucy writing a cookbook? Well my friend, I’m attempting to fill the void of information that’s missing. To create content that I would actually read myself and information that I wish I had stumbled across on my researching endeavours. For starters, all the ‘van life’ cookbooks and cooking ideas out there have been written and developed by people with oodles amounts of money, people not living the true van life. So if you’re about to embark on the true van life experience this will be the perfect book for you. The true recipe to make everything just that much simpler and more enjoyable. There’s nothing worse than growing sick of those same few meals you can cook and dreading meal times. What a lot of people don’t know about me is that I’m a bit of a spreadsheet nerd - I love them. I like to understand everything and know what I can actually afford and when I’m treating myself. Sometimes foods you think cost more and what I consider some of the finer things in life, can turn out to be cheaper than expected. Often that is the case and I can live like a queen! But seriously, these are truly van life or camper life recipes for those budget, free camping, happy-go-lucky, looking for something tasty people in life. All money goes towards my coffee fund. This Book is suitable for Vegetarians and Vegans.

Fighter Fugitive King
Author: Fraser Keay
Publisher: Fraser Keay
ISBN: 0995472947
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
Drawing on key biblical narratives from the early part of the dramatic life of King David, Fighter Fugitive King highlights David's flaws, and God’s grace to him as a developing leader. Threaded throughout is the application of biblical theology. Applicable to the workplace and Christian ministry today, younger men and those mentoring men in spiritual leadership, will find it an inspiring and practical read that points to another King, one greater than David. Includes reflection questions at the end of each chapter. Commendations “There is a leadership crisis in the world today and this book is a passionate appeal to Christian men to be leaders who lead like Jesus seen through the lens of the life of David. It is clear, theological, challenging and hugely practical. I would recommend this as a disciple making tool for older men to disciple a younger generation.” Guy Miller, Leader of Commission Network of Churches, U.K. “There are many good Bible teachers around. There are also plenty of people who can give wisdom about leadership. What is much more rare is finding somebody who can genuinely unlock the Bible and apply it spiritually and practically to Christian leadership today. Fraser Keay is one such person! In this book his passion and experience for developing younger leaders shines through, but it shines through the biblical lens of the life of David and then onto Christ. If you want a book full of trendy leadership clichés then this isn’t for you, but if you want to grow as a leader and develop leaders yourself, and want to do so trusting God and relying on Jesus, then read on! I’ve spent much time in my Christian ministry working with younger leaders, and my only criticism of this book is that Fraser didn’t write it 30 years ago – my investment into younger leaders would’ve been so much stronger if he had!” Rev. Nigel James, pastor in the Elim Pentecostal Church Movement, based in Cardiff, Wales, U.K. and working in the USA with the Awakening Foundation and around the world in various mission partnerships.

It is the little things that make a person come to life in a story, the minutiae of daily life. We know the bare bones of the life of these people but that makes them so one-dimensional. I have taken the story we know, and using imagination and Google, have brought them to life in a way that makes them live and breathe naturally. It is a work of fiction but built on a solid skeleton of fact.

JAMES BEARD AWARD WINNER • The acclaimed chef behind the Michelin-starred Mister Jiu’s restaurant shares the past, present, and future of Chinese cooking in America through 90 mouthwatering recipes. ONE OF THE TEN BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New Yorker, San Francisco Chronicle • ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR: Glamour • “Brandon Jew’s affection for San Francisco’s Chinatown and his own Chinese heritage is palpable in this cookbook, which is both a recipe collection and a portrait of a district rich in history.”—Fuchsia Dunlop, James Beard Award-winning author of The Food of Sichuan Brandon Jew trained in the kitchens of California cuisine pioneers and Michelin-starred Italian institutions before finding his way back to Chinatown and the food of his childhood. Through deeply personal recipes and stories about the neighborhood that often inspires them, this groundbreaking cookbook is an intimate account of how Chinese food became American food and the making of a Chinese American chef. Jew takes inspiration from classic Chinatown recipes to create innovative spins like Sizzling Rice Soup, Squid Ink Wontons, Orange Chicken Wings, Liberty Roast Duck, Mushroom Mu Shu, and Banana Black Sesame Pie. From the fundamentals of Chinese cooking to master class recipes, he interweaves recipes and techniques with stories about their origins in Chinatown and in his own family history. And he connects his classical training and American roots to Chinese traditions in chapters celebrating dim sum, dumplings, and banquet-style parties. With more than a hundred photographs of finished dishes as well as moving and evocative atmospheric shots of Chinatown, this book is also an intimate portrait—a look down the alleyways, above the tourist shops, and into the kitchens—of the neighborhood that changed the flavor of America.

Pomegranate Soup
Author: Marsha Mehran
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 0307431630
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Beneath the holy mountain Croagh Patrick, in damp and lovely County Mayo, sits the small, sheltered village of Ballinacroagh. To the exotic Aminpour sisters, Ireland looks like a much-needed safe haven. It has been seven years since Marjan Aminpour fled Iran with her younger sisters, Bahar and Layla, and she hopes that in Ballinacroagh, a land of “crazed sheep and dizzying roads,” they might finally find a home. From the kitchen of an old pastry shop on Main Mall, the sisters set about creating a Persian oasis. Soon sensuous wafts of cardamom, cinnamon, and saffron float through the streets–an exotic aroma that announces the opening of the Babylon Café, and a shock to a town that generally subsists on boiled cabbage and Guinness served at the local tavern. And it is an affront to the senses of Ballinacroagh’s uncrowned king, Thomas McGuire. After trying to buy the old pastry shop for years and failing, Thomas is enraged to find it occupied–and by foreigners, no less. But the mysterious, spicy fragrances work their magic on the townsfolk, and soon, business is booming. Marjan is thrilled with the demand for her red lentil soup, abgusht stew, and rosewater baklava–and with the transformation in her sisters. Young Layla finds first love, and even tense, haunted Bahar seems to be less nervous. And in the stand-up-comedian-turned-priest Father Fergal Mahoney, the gentle, lonely widow Estelle Delmonico, and the headstrong hairdresser Fiona Athey, the sisters find a merry band of supporters against the close-minded opposition of less welcoming villagers stuck in their ways. But the idyll is soon broken when the past rushes back to threaten the Amnipours once more, and the lives they left behind in revolution-era Iran bleed into the present. Infused with the textures and scents, trials and triumph,s of two distinct cultures, Pomegranate Soup is an infectious novel of magical realism. This richly detailed story, highlighted with delicious recipes, is a delectable journey into the heart of Persian cooking and Irish living.
