After realizing he knew more about TVs than about the meat on his
plate, award-winning TV producer and amateur chef Jared Stone
purchased an entire grass-fed steer and resolved to make the best
use of it that he possibly could. Year of the Cow follows the
trials and tribulations of a home cook as he and his family try to
form a more meaningful relationship with their food and the
environment. From meeting the rancher who raised his cow to
learning how to successfully pack a freezer with cow parts, Stone
gets to know his steer and examines how previous generations ate,
delving into the ways our ancestors prepared meals and the
ethnography of cattle. Over the course of hundreds of nose-to-tail
meals shared with friends and family, Stone works his way through
his cow armed with a pioneering spirit and a good sense of humour.
He becomes more mindful of his diet and bravely confronts
challenges he never expected, like how to dry beef jerky without
making your home smell like a smokehouse, and how to find
deliciousness in the less-common cuts of cattle like the tongue and
heart, sharing a recipe at the end of each chapter. By examining
the food that fuels his life and pondering the ethics of meat
eating, Stone finds the areas where his cooking philosophy overlaps
with learning to live a life more fully.
Have you ever started to make a dessert only to find, somewhere in
the fine print, a hidden ingredient which is not in your spice
cupboard? I can't count the number of times this scenario has
happened to me. I get everything ready to create something, and
find another ingredient which I don't have, try to substitute, and
ruin the dish. With that in mind, I created a "Thumbnail" shopping
list which I guarantee has all of the ingredients you will need for
the dessert you are going to make, so you can always be prepared
when baking with these recipes. Another frustration I have, is
being instructed to turn to another page to complete the dessert I
am working on. There I am, with my fingers covered with some
unknown ingredient, flipping through the cookbook, feeling like
Hansel and Gretel depositing crumbs which are destined to stick to
the pages being turned, instead of staying in the bowl to become
part of the tasty delicacy. Hence, complete recipes I organized
everything onto one page for simplicity. You may find a filling in
the filling section, but you will also find that filling on the
same page when it is used in a specific dessert. With everyone
being more aware of healthy eating habits, I added nutritional
facts about each recipe. With this cookbook, you can still enjoy
that "home cooking" and know exactly what you are adding to your
diet.
The Berkshire Cookbook is a combination of recipies gathered from
family and friends over many lifetimes. Recipies contained in ths
book were collected from Grandparents, Parents, Aunts, Uncles,
Sisters and Friends. Each recipe has been tested numerous times and
written in an easy to follow format. The writter has explained in
detail how to create each tasty meal with ease. This book is
perfect for the first time cook or the more experienced cook.
Grains and seeds possess potent health-giving properties; they are
packed with vitamins, dietary fibre and essential amino acids, and
are known to support the immune system. But most people don't
incorporate enough of these superfoods into their diets, and they
are missing out - on both the health benefits and on the flavour!
Amy Ruth Finegold has rid herself of the health problems that
plagued her and discovered a whole new exciting way to eat by
embracing these ancient grains - from amaranth to bulgur, buckwheat
to teff. Get off to a good start with Breakfast options including
Amaranth Porridge and Pineapple Bran Muffins. Soups include the
fruity and tangy Summer Melon Soup with Tamarind, while Salads
& Snacks also make a perfect light meal - try a Wheatberry
Salad with Apples and Pecans. Satisfying Main Dishes to enjoy
include Millet-stuffed Acorn Squash and Lamb Chops with a Warm
Quinoa Apricot Salad. Seeds and grains work well in Sweet Treats,
too; try Peach Pie with a Sunflower Seed Crust or treat yourself to
Peanut Butter Quinoa Cookies.

"YouTube(R) sensation Clara Cannucciari shares her treasured
recipes and commonsense wisdom in a heartwarming remembrance of the
Great Depression
"Clara Cannucciari is a 94 year-old internet sensation. Her
YouTube(R) Great Depression Cooking videos have an army of devoted
followers. In "Clara's Kitchen," she gives readers words of wisdom
to buck up America's spirits, recipes to keep the wolf from the
door, and tells her story of growing up during the Great Depression
with a tight-knit family and a "pull yourself up by your
bootstraps" philosophy of living. In between recipes for pasta with
peas, eggplant parmesan, chocolate covered biscotti, and other
treats Clara gives readers practical advice on cooking nourishing
meals for less. Using lessons she learned during the Great
Depression, she writes, for instance, about how to conserve
electricity when cooking and how you can stretch a pot of pasta
with a handful of lentils. She reminisces about her youth and
writes with love about her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
"Clara's Kitchen "takes readers back to a simpler, if not more
difficult time, and gives everyone what they need right now: hope
for the future and a nice dish of warm pasta from everyone's
favorite grandmother, Clara Cannuciari, a woman who knows what's
really important in life.
The recipes, stories, and history in "The Eve of Seven Fishes" will
take you back to the simple days of your youth, from opening
Christmas presents after enjoying the mouthwatering meal of anchovy
spaghetti, fried smelts, and Baccala, to savoring the smell of
garlic and the company of Uncle Tony and Cousin Vinnie.
Author Robert A. Germano entices your taste buds with his
delectably authentic Italian recipes from the Old Country. With
recipes centered around the simple Italian meal prepared on
Christmas Eve, you'll savor the flavor of garlic and basil in
Germano's homemade spaghetti sauce and learn how to make true
Italian biscotti.
The kitchen was the heart of the Italian home. Not only was it a
place to cook, but it was also the entertainment area for gossip,
arguments, solving riddles, and more laughter than your cheeks
could endure.
"The Eve of Seven Fishes" invites you into Germano's kitchen and
introduces you to the peasant cooking of years gone by. But
remember, 'Too many wines spoil the cook."
