bites - Enjoy mini pork pies and cornish pasties, or make carefully
trimmed tea sandwiches to complete any spread. Preserves and
spreads - Make aromatic strawberry-rhubarb jam, currant jelly or
lemon curd from scratch to accompany your bakes. This carefully
curated selection of recipes spans the world of Downton, from
intimate afternoon tea taken in the drawing-room to glamorous tea
parties in the garden. Full of photographs and quotes from Downton
characters, with this book you can recreate the rich traditions and
flavours of Downton Abbey Afternoon Tea time and time again.
An Ode to Living and Gathering in Nature A picnic on the beach.
Cocktails and a snack at sunset. Sharing a potluck meal around the
fire, and letting the night drift lazily along in the pleasures of
roasting marshmallows and swapping stories. Getting together in
nature, with food and drink, is among the most restorative rituals
we can experience, fostering a kind of intimacy and ease that's
rare in any other setting. Al Fresco, with its fresh, delicious
recipes and unexpected ideas, its tips for exploring new ways to
get outdoors, its interviews with dozens of kindred spirits, is an
inspiring and beautiful playbook for anyone who wants to spend more
time outside with friends and family. The credo is simple: Nature
opens us up to ourselves, and the food we share opens us up to each
other.

Delicious Dinner-Only Recipes that Showcase the Highly Desirable
Beach Lifestyle Dinner is the most home-cooked meal of the day. We
gather in the kitchen, open up a great cookbook, and see what
ingredients we have in our pantry. Our devices are off, work is
done for the day, and we get ready to make and share an amazing
meal. Beach House Dinners: Simple, Summer-Inspired Meals for
Entertaining Year-Round celebrates these moments. In her fourth
book, chef Lei Shishak returns to her first love--good food by the
beach. Whether you currently live by the beach or dream of being at
one, get ready to be inspired by the evening meal recipes in Beach
House Dinners. Lei has included 80 delectable recipes that she
makes at her beach house in Southern California, home to some of
the world's most beautiful beaches. She's captivated every day by
the dazzling beauty of the beaches near her home, and she shares
this through food. Each recipe in this book will inspire and
transport you to beautiful places around the world, some of which
you may already know and others may be new. Either way, her hope is
that while making each recipe you'll become blissfully unaware of
the distractions of everyday life and in the end, you and your
guests will melt into the joy of eating a great meal. Short on
time? All of the recipes are straightforward and hassle-free,
leaving you plenty of time to relax, enjoy conversations on the
beach, savor dips in the ocean, and bask in the warm sun. In many
of the recipes, steps are broken down into those that can be done
the night before or the morning of so you can spend less time in
the kitchen and more time at the beach. Recipes include some of
chef Lei's favorites like: Summer Tomato Soup with Three-Cheese
Panini Coconut Shrimp with Three Sauces Roasted Whole Sea Bass
Lemon Garlic Chicken Hearts of Palm Salad Jerk Spareribs Salmon
Burger Pot Roast Tagine Lobster Roll and more!
Step aside, rose. A more refreshing drink is here, in a bubbling
array of colors and flavors. The iconic Italian export, the Aperol
spritz, with its classic (and simple) makeup of fizzy prosecco,
sparkling water, and a splash of the bittersweet, citrus-flavored
liqueur, is just the beginning. In Just a Spritz, author Danielle
Centoni shares an inspired world of spritz variations. Add in sweet
liqueurs and bitter amari, fresh juices, flavored kombuchas, and
drinking vinegars to update the sparkling spritz. A spritz is quick
to assemble and does not require a stocked pantry--its beauty is in
its simplicity. Here there are more than 50 recipes (and numerous
variations) organized by flavor profile and theme, including the
Raspberry Beret, the Margarita Spritz, and the Cucumberbatch, as
well as nonalcoholic spritz drinks. For a spritz newbie, a classic
Negroni Sbagliato may be just the thing, whereas the social media
savant may find the fruity-floral, scarlet-purple, picture-perfect
Lady Lavender calling their name. Whatever the craving--from a
sweet peach and honeyed spritz to a slightly bitter and citrusy
Cappelletti Shandy--there's a recipe to satisfy every thirst, along
with colorful photos to inspire.

After the Second World War, a newly affluent United States reached
for its own gourmet culture, one at ease with the French
international style of Escoffier, but also distinctly American.
Enter James Beard, authority on cooking and eating, his
larger-than-life presence and collection of whimsical bow ties were
synonymous with the nation's food for decades, even after his death
in 1985. In the first biography of Beard in twenty-five years,
acclaimed writer John Birdsall argues that Beard's struggles as a
closeted gay man directly influenced his creation of an American
cuisine. Starting in the 1920s, Beard escaped loneliness and
banishment by travelling abroad to places where people ate for
pleasure, not utility, and found acceptance at home by crafting an
American ethos of food likewise built on passion and delight.
Informed by never-before-tapped correspondence and lush with
details of a golden age of home cooking, The Man Who Ate Too Much
is a commanding portrait of a towering figure who still represents
the best in food.
