Julia's Kitchen Wisdom: Essential Techniques and Recipes from a Lifetime of Cooking

160 pages | Publisher: Knopf (June 23, 2009) | English | ISBN-10: 0375711856 | PDF | 8,9 MB

* How many minutes should you cook green beans? Is it better to steam them or to boil them?
* What are the right proportions for a vinaigrette?
* How do you skim off fat?
* What is the perfect way to roast a chicken?

Julia Child gave us extensive answers to all these questions—and so many more—in the masterly books she published over the course of her career. But which one do you turn to for which solutions?

All the answers are close to hand in this indispensable little volume: the delicious, comforting, essential compendium of Julia’s kitchen wisdom—a book you can’t do without.

What would you give to see the notes Julia Child keeps in her handwritten loose-leaf kitchen reference guide? Your wish is granted! This clever little volume was inspired by Child's notebook, compiled from her own "trials, remedies, and errors."

Organized by large category and technique, it's a very handy reference guide for anyone reasonably comfortable in the kitchen. Each section contains a master recipe followed by variations. The emphasis is on technique, so if you occasionally find yourself trying to remember at what temperature to best roast a duck, the best way to cook green beans and keep them green, or how to save your hollandaise, then this is the book for you. And what good is a reference guide without an index? As always, Child comes to our rescue with a fantastic, comprehensive index, 19 pages long for 107 pages of text, so we can find the answers to life's burning questions in a flash.

Part of what makes Julia Child such an icon is that she can describe a complicated dish, and in the next breath convince us to make it. Classic Chocolate Mousse, Sabayon, Scalloped Potatoes Savoyarde, and Butterflied Leg of Lamb sound manageable when they follow recipes for Roast Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, and Scrambled Eggs. And with Child's help, they are. "Quick, snappy answers" for both basic and complicated cooking questions make this a work we'll never outgrow. And if Julia can use a cheat sheet, so can we! Fans of Child will love that her personality shows through in comments like, "Don't crowd the pan... or you'll be sorry," and, to introduce her Basic Vinaigrette Dressing, "I use the proportions of a very dry martini." Eight pages of photos taken by her husband, Paul, including one of Child with the famous dancing goose, make this even more of a treasure.

If there is anyone qualified to offer kitchen wisdom, it must be Julia Child. After a lifetime of cooking and teaching, her knowledge is a perfect gift for fans, novices, or anyone responsible for putting dinner on the table every night.

SuperFoods HealthStyle Proven Strategies for Lifelong Health

352 pages | William Morrow (2006) | English | ISBN-10: 0060755474 | PDF
If up until now you have relied on luck, genetics, and a few healthful practices to achieve this goal, SuperFoods HealthStyle will be your authoritative, engaging introduction to a new, better life. Like SuperFoods Rx, the authors’ bestselling book, HealthStyle takes the most recent, cutting-edge research on what lifestyle practices have actually been proven to achieve disease prevention and improve daily functioning -- both physically and mentally -- and translates this information into simple recommendations that you can use to improve your physical and mental health now and in the future.

Evidence abounds that total health is achieved via a network of efforts. You might guess that diet and exercise are important. Did you know that other factors like sleep and stress management can have just as much impact on your daily health and functioning? In HealthStyle Dr. Steven Pratt, dubbed "the Food Dude" by Oprah Winfrey, has expanded on his original thirteen SuperFoods and broadened his focus to include all aspects of health promotion. He covers such topics as:

* How ordinary spices like black pepper and cinnamon can make surprising contributions to health promotion
* What the latest compelling research shows about how poor sleep habits could be sabotaging your efforts at weight control, reducing your cognitive abilities, and impairing your overall health
* How achieving "personal peace" can prolong life and improve brain function
* Why dark chocolate, honey, and kiwi have joined the ranks of SuperFoods
* How the simplest imaginable exercise program can be the most effective
* Why paying attention to one simple aspect of eating could be the answer to weight control

HealthStyle is about extending the true quality of life. It’s about being as active at seventy as you are at thirty-five. It’s about helping to prevent osteoporosis, hypertension, and Alzheimer’s disease. It’s about ending the confusion about how people should exercise and how often. It is about making simple but significant changes to get the most out of life for the rest of your life.

Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia (Multi Format)

Publisher: Penguin (Non-Classics) | 2010 | 352 pages | Format: Epub, Lit, Lrf, Mobi, Pdf, Rtf | 6.4MB
One comment from Amazon: "A delightful book, entertaining and full of wisdom. The author takes us along on her year-long journey to find her true self. Her account feels honest and yet has a lot of humor. Sprinkled in is interesting information about the countries she is visiting which I enjoyed as well."

“Starred Review. Gilbert (The Last American Man) grafts the structure of romantic fiction upon the inquiries of reporting in this sprawling yet methodical travelogue of soul-searching and self-discovery. Plagued with despair after a nasty divorce, the author, in her early 30s, divides a year equally among three dissimilar countries, exploring her competing urges for earthly delights and divine transcendence. First, pleasure: savoring Italy's buffet of delights--the world's best pizza, free-flowing wine and dashing conversation partners--Gilbert consumes la dolce vita as spiritual succor. "I came to Italy pinched and thin," she writes, but soon fills out in waist and soul. Then, prayer and ascetic rigor: seeking communion with the divine at a sacred ashram in India, Gilbert emulates the ways of yogis in grueling hours of meditation, struggling to still her churning mind. Finally, a balancing act in Bali, where Gilbert tries for equipoise "betwixt and between" realms, studies with a merry medicine man and plunges into a charged love affair. Sustaining a chatty, conspiratorial tone, Gilbert fully engages readers in the year's cultural and emotional tapestry--conveying rapture with infectious brio, recalling anguish with touching candor--as she details her exotic tableau with history, anecdote and impression.

Healthy Chinese Cuisine Using Fruits & Vegetable - CookBook

Chinatown Public Health Center | 2005 | ISBN: R20090714B | 51 pages | PDF | 7,1 MB
Language: English/Chinese

Foreword
Being overweight and obese has become a major health problem in California, including our Chinese community. According to the California behavioral Risk Factor Survey1, over forty percent of Asian American males, and thirty percent of females in California are overweight!*. This has led to an increase in such diet-related disorders as diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure.

Eighty percent of Asian American children and fifty-six percent of Asian American adults are not eating enough fruits and vegetables. Eating at least 2 to 6½ cups of fruits and vegetables (depending on your age, gender and activity level), and getting 30 to 60 minutes of physical activity everyday, may help to lower our risk of becoming overweight and our risk of cancer, heart disease, Type 2 diabetes and obesity.

This is the first booklet available in Chinese to help increase fruit and vegetable consumption and provide helpful tips on staying active. This easy method to improve intake of fruits and vegetables is enhanced by celebrity chef Martin Yan and nutritionist Catherine Wong from Chinatown Public Health Center, who share their secrets for healthy eating and cooking using authentic Chinese recipes.

Recipes are used with permission from “Healthy & Delicious – Simple Ways to Low Fat Chinese Cooking” by Catherine Wong, RD, MPH, and Martin Yan, MS.

Sushi Made Easy Cookbook - Nobuko Tsuda

150 pages | Weatherhill | English | ISBN-10: 9780834801738 | PDF
Visually appealing, flavorful, and nutritious sushi has long been one of the most popular foods of Japan and is now a favorite of epicures around the world. Here, the ingredients and utensils for making sushi are introduced and the principles of sushi-making explained through thirty-six recipes illustrated with drawings and sixteen pages of color photographs. Included are instructions for dressing and filleting twenty-one kinds of fish, serving suggestions, and recipes for soups to complete an authentic sushi meal.

Review
This book takes a well balanced approach that is geared toward the novice. I found the sections on equipment and ingredients to be very good overviews on these topics. Assembly instructions were pretty good, and frankly, the pictures go a long way toward showing you what the end result will / should look like. Other books I looked at contained more history and shopping tips than I wanted. The key to success with sushi is experiment! - Vivarib1, Amazon.com

This is an excellent beginner's book for sushi lovers. Includes beautiful color photos to show the art of presentation and the beauty of the cuisine. It could have included pronuciation tips for some of the words, and the technique described for making nori rolls was awkward (I place strips of filling on rice closer to the center), but otherwise I highly recommend this book. - Amazon.com
