The Marvelous Millennial's Manual to Modern Manners is the concise,
approachable and relevant go-to manners and civility manual that
makes all professional millennials' lives more productive and
pleasant. Most Americans think society is becoming more and more
rude. Everyone blames the young generation, but that trend has been
the case since the beginning of time. Actually, millennials have
many positive attributes to offer-empathy, open-mindedness, and
optimism. However, they don't have a solid foundation in manners.
The Marvelous Millennial's Manual to Modern Manners gives
millennials the tools they need for professional and personal
success with its concise and relevant sections on personal
branding, business etiquette, and dining skills. All these
important life skills are like any other skill: they must be
learned. This is the manners manual for them.
This is exactly what it sounds like: instead of photos or
illustrations, this cocktail book is fully illustrated with oil
paintings. Featuring an all-star team, Cocktails, A Still Life is
less of a bartending guide and more of a presentation piece
attracting the eye, mind, and palate focused squarely on the
art-including the dozens of luscious, hand-painted images. As they
say, "We drink first with our eyes." Contemporary still-life master
Todd Casey has collected 60 paintings for 60 classic drink recipes,
developed by Drinkology author James Waller, that are then paired
with witty and imminently readable behind-the-bar anecdotes and
histories by beverage historian Christine Sismondo. Broken down
into sections, inspired by times and events that call for a
cocktail, the book includes art, recipes, and history. Drinks
include: Part One: Daytime Drinking * Belgian Beers * Bellini *
Bloody Mary * Mojito * Ramos Gin Fizz Part Two: Aperitivo Hour *
Aperol Spritz * Daiquiri * Gimlet * Gin & Tonic * Sgroppino
Part Three: Cocktail Party * Cosmopolitan * Long Island Iced Tea *
Mai Tai * Negroni * Vieux Carre Part Four: Celebration * Egg Nog *
French 75 * Margarita * Mezcal and Sangrita * Mint Julep Part Five:
After Dinner/Nightcap * Boulevardier * Brandy Alexander *
Grasshopper * Irish Coffee * Sake Both a sophisticated gift and a
useful cocktail-making guide, Cocktails, A Still Life is not just
for "cocktail nerds" but also for those who enjoy finely crafted
art and finely crafted beverages.
Daughter of the late David Hicks and goddaughter to Prince Charles,
India Hicks is known for her irreverent take on style. In her
previous books, she invited readers into her homes on Harbour
Island and in England. For her third book, India presents her own
slightly madcap spin on entertaining. Organized by meal, the book
begins marvelously with the most important meal of the
day--cocktail hour--and ends with breakfast. In between, there are
family suppers and big dinners, birthday cakes and Christmas
crackers, great British breakfasts, quick teas and long lunches,
mustard pots as vases, and bedcovers for tablecloths. Like India,
these stories are full of personality, from the Panic Dinner (or
what to do when you suddenly have a crowd descending) to the Naked
Cake (cake decorating for the harried or untalented) to a White
Christmas in the Bahamas. Each celebration includes clever advice
and inspiration for place settings, homemade flower arrangements,
table design, and more. These are parties that make use of what is
on hand, whether it's beach towels thrown down a long table,
children's candy piled in cups on a tray, or massing palm fronds
collected from the lawn. Beautifully photographed and embellished
here and there with a bit of Hicks family lore, the book is rounded
out with a sprinkling of recipes from India's beloved cook, Claire
Williams, fondly known as Top Banana, and other family members,
from traditional English fare such as Victoria Sponge to tropical
treats such as the Marquess's Banana Daiquiri.

Jane Ellen Panton (1847 1923) was the second daughter of the artist
William Powell Frith, and a journalist and author on domestic
issues. First published in 1896, this was one of a series of advice
guides written by Panton on life and work in the middle-class home.
In it she offers ideas to those with 'middle sized incomes' for
overcoming the pitfalls of suburban life, such as selecting the
optimal location, avoiding noise and disputes between neighbours,
decorating and furnishing the home, and employing various domestic
techniques in order to achieve the 'perfect house and
housekeeping'. Drawing on twelve years' experience of suburban
living, the author makes suggestions for each part of the house,
and the concluding chapter addresses the question of whether to
employ a servant. Providing a revealing snapshot of life in late
nineteenth-century England, this book will be of great interest to
historians and sociologists.
'I absolutely adore the food in this beautiful book.' - Nigella
Lawson 'One of the most inventive vegetable cooks.' - Anna Jones
'Joe just makes the most delicious food that happens to have no
meat or fish in it - I think this and his knack for bringing out
flavour is his superpower.' - Rachel Roddy 'One of those cookbooks
that you can tell will go into heavy rotation in your kitchen. Each
chapter is given over to a different, common vegetable and how you
can turn it into a satisfying and straightforward meal.' - Tim
Lewis, Observer Food Monthly Swapping just one meat dish for a
plant-based one saves greenhouse gas emissions that are equivalent
to the energy used to charge your phone for two years. Your small
change can make a big difference. Deliciously simple cooking that
just happens to be vegetarian, Your Daily Veg celebrates everyday
vegetables in a fresh and modern way. Chapters focus either on one
core vegetable or on a group of similar vegetables, celebrating
seasonality and encouraging you to experiment. Joe Woodhouse blends
textures, spices and flavours to create satisfying meals that use
minimal ingredients but achieve maximum flavour. With tips on how
best to prep dishes and advice on minimising stress and time in the
kitchen, each recipe is as straightforward as possible.
Folks in the Delta have a strong sense of community, and being dead
is no impediment to belonging to it. Down South, they don't forget
you when you've up and died--in fact, they visit you more often.
But there are quintessential rules and rituals for kicking the
bucket tastefully. Having a flawless funeral is one of them.
In this deliciously entertaining slice of Southern life (and
death), inveterate hostess Gayden Metcalfe explains everything you
need to know to host an authentic Southern funeral. Can you be
properly buried without tomato aspic? Who prepares tastier funeral
fare, the Episcopal ladies or the Methodist ladies? And what does
one do when a family gets three sheets to the wind and eats the
entire feast the night before a funeral?
Each chapter includes a delicious, tried-and-true Southern recipe,
critical if you plan to die tastefully any time soon. Pickled
Shrimp, Aunt Hebe's Coconut Cake, and the ubiquitous Bing Cherry
Salad with Coca-Cola are among the many dishes guaranteed to make
the next funeral the most satisfying one yet.
Even if you've never been south of Rochester, this book will charm,
it will entertain, and it will give you all the ingredients
required for the perfect Southern send-off.

Most of us know a bit about what passes for good manners - holding
doors open, sending thank-you notes, no elbows on the table. We
certainly know bad manners when we see them. But where has this
patchwork of beliefs and behaviours come from? How did manners
develop? How do they change? And why do they matter so much to us?
In examining our manners, Henry Hitchings delves into the English
character and investigates our notions of Englishness. Sorry!
presents an amusing, illuminating and quirky audit of English
manners. From basic table manners to appropriate sexual conduct,
via hospitality, chivalry, faux pas and online etiquette, Hitchings
traces the history of our country's customs and courtesies. Putting
under the microscope some of our most astute observers of humanity,
including Jane Austen and Samuel Pepys, he uses their lives and
writings to pry open the often downright peculiar secrets of the
English character. Hitchings' blend of history, anthropology and
personal journey helps us understand our bizarre and contested
cultural baggage - and ourselves.
