This book compiles vital information for gardeners in the unique
climates of New York and the Mid-Atlantic area. This indispensible
guide includes valuable expert advice, a list of hot and cold
tolerance zones for each plant, web sites for information from
state universities in the region, and a listing of botanical
gardens and arboreta in which to view the listed plants.
The ME-N-U Cookbook is the result of love of cooking and baking. It
was created however, to show that everyone can do it. A fresh baked
"goodie" helps us celebrate those memorable moments and at times
lets us forget. So it was the littlest angel (AKA Ingrid K. Klopp
Hrycenko).

This book combines historical biography with a focus on the role
of the practitioner in the folk health-care system, and
ethnobotany, including a description of the active ingredients of
the herbs used in African American herbal medicine. The
contributions of European Colonial, American Indian, and African
practices to the development of contemporary African American folk
medicine are discussed. In addition to showing John Lee's approach
to folk medicine, the volume provides descriptions and
illustrations of the main herbs used. Folk Wisdom and Mother Wit
provides a basic historical framework and background to the
continuing viability of a folk medical system based on a pluralism
combining biomedicine and traditional health care. As such, it will
be of value to scholars and students of medical anthropology as
well as Black Studies.
We are bombarded by perfect interiors, images that aren’t
attainable because they have been styled to the point where they
bear no resemblance to reality. These interiors may be stunning,
but they aren’t an honest reflection of how we really live. Life
Unstyled is about taking inspiration from real homes that are
beautiful, creative and inspiring but at the same time a little
rough around the edges, with signs of everyday life evident
throughout. The first section, ‘Homes Unstyled’, sets out
Emily's manifesto for creating a stylish home that is beautiful but
lived in. A Home is Never Done advocates allowing your space to
evolve gradually so it is an ever-changing expression of your
tastes and interests. Work with What You’ve Got suggests ways to
make the most of the home you have rather than yearning for
unattainable perfection. Signs of Life offers ideas for wrangling
papers, clutter and other stuff. Creative Clutter tackles
collections and displays, while Break the Rules rejects style
diktats and shows how individuality can bring a home to life. The
second section, ‘People Live Here’, visits real-life homes that
are definitely not perfect yet display incredible style and
creativity and reflect their owners’ needs, tastes and style. And
throughout the book, quick fixes, DIY makes and ‘Every Home
Should Have…’ boxes offer creative solutions with unique
results.

This volume tells the story of the people of South America and
their history through a survey of their food culture. Food in the
various countries differ in some ways because of cultural heritage,
cooking techniques and geography, and here they are divided into
four zones. The traditions of the primary groups--Indians,
Europeans, and Africans--and their five centuries of mixing have
still resulted in a stable food culture. The foods of the Indians
pre-European contact still play an important role, along with other
foods brought by successive immigrant groups. Europeans tried to
establish their staples, wheat and wine, with little success. Many
dishes, cooking methods, and food habits have survived with little
modification since time immemorial. Students and other readers will
learn much about the South American foodways in daily life today,
with special attention paid to historical perspective and any rural
and urban differences. For example, in all the major cultural
groups, food preparation and cooking have always been women's work,
with the exception of the meat roast (asado) by llaneros and
gauchos. The rise of the cooking profession is discussed as well. A
fascinating look at the daily meal schedule includes insight in to
how the European conquerors imposed their eating habits and
encouraged overeating, with the abundance found in the New World.
Modern life is shown to affect where people eat, as buying meals,
often from street vendors, during the workday has become more of a
necessity. The survey includes a discussion of special occasions,
including agricultural celebrations and Catholic feasts with
indigenous elements. The overview is completed by a chapter on diet
and health, covering such topics as botanical knowledge and science
and an assessment of the nutritional value of the South American
staples. Classic recipes from many of the countries and
illustrations complement the narrative.

An approachable and informal guide to wine with a clear concept,
from Sunday Brunch's new wine expert, Hannah Crosbie. For fans of
The 24-hour Wine Expert (29k TCM) and The Noble Rot Wine Book (7.6k
TCM). This will become the go-to guide that pairs wine with life's
important (and unimportant) events rather than dishes. After all,
surely we have enough books telling us what to pair with spag bol.
So much of how and what we drink is rooted in occasion. What bottle
do you buy the first time you meet the in-laws? What do you order
on a date if it's going well? If it's not going well? What should
you drink on a plane? Along with sage advice and tongue-in-cheek
humour, this is a wine book that celebrates the everyday drinking
and doesn't take itself too seriously. This is a book for wine
novices staring nonplussed at supermarket shelf, as well as wine
enthusiasts who might already know their Chenin from their Chablis,
but still need a bit of help picking the best bottle for their
budget and the occasion.
