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."

"Dining by Rail" is James D. Porterfield's book of history and recipes from America's golden age of railroad cuisine.

The Book of Lost Recipes lovingly and meticulously traces the culinary adventures of Frodo and his companions during their quest in the Lord of the Rings. It also describes all of the meals eaten by Bilbo and the dwarves on their journey to Erebor in the Hobbit. Every mention of food and drink described by Tolkien is carefully laid out, with full recipes for each specific dish. Nothing is added, and nothing is omitted.

Busy mothers (and fathers who cook), especially for preschool and elementary children, will find dozens of practical tips, kid-friendly recipes, and entertaining information that makes feeding the family fun. The book draws from the best of hundreds of recipes gathered from MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) groups nationwide.

A simple, stylish cookbook full of desserts that come together faster than you can eat them—from the New York Times bestselling author of Dining In and Nothing Fancy .

Before Alison Roman made recipes so perfect that they go by one name—The Cookie, The Pasta, The Lemon Cake—she was a restaurant pastry chef who spent most of her time learning to make things the hard way. She studied flavor, technique, and precision, then distilled her knowledge to pare it all down to create dessert recipes that feel special and approachable, impressive and doable. In Sweet Enough , Alison has written the book for people who think they don’t have the time or skill to pull off dessert. Here, the desserts you want to make right away, you can make right away.

Alison shows you how to make simple yet sublime sweets with her trademark casualness, like how to make jam in the oven, then turn that jam into a dessert—swirled into ice cream or folded into easy one-bowl cake batter. (Opening a jar of jam is more than fine, too.) She waxes poetic on the virtues of frozen fruit and teaches you the best way to throw your own Sundae Party. There are effortless cakes that take just minutes to get into a pan. And there are new, instant classics with a signature Alison twist, like Salted Lemon Pie, Raspberries and Sour Cream, Toasted Rice Pudding, or a Caramelized Maple Tart. Requiring little more than your own two hands and a few mixing bowls, the recipes are geared towards those without fancy equipment or specialty ingredients.

Whether you’re a dedicated baker or, better yet, someone who doesn’t think they are a baker, Sweet Enough lets you finish any dinner, any party, or any car ride to a dinner party with a little something wonderful and sweet.

This book is a book of travel. And recipes. And cooking. But most of all, this book is a book of love. Our own family started out as relatively normal people living in a rather normal American town. Then God got hold of us and sent us to the world. As a family! On the way it became apparent that certain things were important: home in the midst of the new, familiarity in the midst of chaos, togetherness in the midst of too much work and a babble of strangers -- this all boiled down to the need for love! ""When you travel, live and work in so many places -- among so many languages and foods and manners of doing things -- you are changed. You don't stay quite the person you were when you left your humdrum life back home... "" So this book is sent out to all those who dream of travel and adventure. Also to those who need to maintain a bit of home in the middle of the new. A book of food, of fun, of family -- a book of love.

From coast-to-coast, there is something universally common about our relationship with food. It's more than just the food we eat and the way we nourish our bodies. It's the way we feel when our food is shared and the manner in which we connect with others over a shared meal. But perhaps most importantly is the way in which a favorite heirloom recipe can allow a flood of treasured memories to invade our hearts with the simple aroma of ingredients. The traveling apron journey began with one simple goal in mind: to connect a community of women together around those beloved recipes. After 20,000-plus miles of travel, whether you're looking to update your weeknight dinner rotation, entertain friends on the back porch, or simply looking for a dessert for your next holiday bash, there's a little something for everyone.
