Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS’ CHOICE • An “extraordinary” (The New York Times Book Review) tender and vivid memoir about the radical grace we discover when we consider ourselves bound together in community, and a moving account of one woman’s attempt to answer the essential question Who are we to one another? “Your heart will be altered by this book.”—Gregory Boyle, S.J., New York Times bestselling author of Tattoos on the Heart Liz Hauck and her dad had a plan to start a weekly cooking program in a residential home for teenage boys in state care, which was run by the human services agency he co-directed. When her father died before they had a chance to get the project started, Liz decided she would try it without him. She didn’t know what to expect from volunteering with court-involved youth, but as a high school teacher she knew that teenagers are drawn to food-related activities, and as a daughter, she believed that if she and the kids made even a single dinner together she could check one box off her father’s long, unfinished to-do list. This is the story of what happened around the table, and how one dinner became one hundred dinners. “The kids picked the menus, I bought the groceries,” Liz writes, “and we cooked and ate dinner together for two hours a week for nearly three years. Sometimes improvisation in kitchens is disastrous. But sometimes, a combination of elements produces something spectacularly unexpected. I think that’s why, when we don’t know what else to do, we feed our neighbors.” Capturing the clumsy choreography of cooking with other people, this is a sharply observed story about the ways we behave when we are hungry and the conversations that happen at the intersections of flavor and memory, vulnerability and strength, grief and connection.

Category : Family & Relationships

Pages : 238
Book Description
Each stage in a child's development has its own ups and downs, and its focus. We often wonder whether our children will ever pass the 'terrible tens' or the monosyllabic fourteens! Our role is to bring them to maturity, and some degree of independence, by their eighteenth birthday. There are many subtly different shades of management that apply to each stage, during this eighteen-year journey. It is one of the greatest tasks with which the human being is confronted. It is genuinely life altering. We are all products of our parents, yet few, if any of us, have any training in parenting. Former Daily Mail columnist Peter Gilchrist takes us through the trials and tribulations that can occur when our children are growing up, and offers invaluable advice on how to deal with the trickiest of situations.

ISBN:
Category : Cooking

Pages : 84
Book Description
In 'Chocolate and Cocoa Recipes and Home Made Candy Recipes', the interplay between culinary arts and cultural history is vividly explored through a rich tapestry of flavors, traditions, and innovative approaches to sweet treats. The compilation not only celebrates the time-honored love affair humanity has with chocolate but also showcases the evolution of confectionery techniques and philosophies across periods. The works within, attributed to culinary pioneers such as Maria Parloa and Janet McKenzie Hill, stand as testaments to the diversity and creativity inherent in early 20th-century American cooking, marking significant points in the culinary world's journey towards modern confectionery art. The anthology draws from the extensive backgrounds of its authors, both of whom were influential figures in their field, contributing significantly to domestic science and the popularization of cooking education in America. Their collective efforts in this collection align with broader historical and cultural movements that sought to elevate everyday cooking into both an art and a science. By integrating their expertise and personal narratives, the collection offers a nuanced understanding of how culinary practices reflect and shape social and economic histories. This collection is a must-read for those intrigued by culinary history, cultural studies, and the art of chocolate and candy making. It invites readers on a delectable journey through the past, uncovering the rich intersections between tradition and innovation. Each recipe and discussion within the book serves as a portal to a bygone era, offering valuable insights into the evolution of cooking and eating habits. Furthermore, it provides a unique opportunity for culinary enthusiasts and historians alike to engage in a dialogue with the past, through the universal language of food.
