The true economy of housekeeping is simply the art of gathering up all the fragments, so that nothing be lost. I mean fragments of time, as well as materials.

 | The No-grain Diet
Brand: Hodder & Stoughton Ltd
Healthier than Dr Atkins, huge in the States, this all-new weight loss plan is the last diet you'll ever need. Forget fats as the biggest dietary sin, the latest scientific evidence now shows that the real culprits in escalating weight gain are grains, starches and sugars. By eliminating grains from your diet, you actually reprogramme your mind and body to release fat and burn it, and as a result the weight you lose is kept off - permanently. This all-new low carbohydrate diet moves on from Dr Atkins, cutting out the unhealthy side-effects of that diet and including a wider range of healthy foods than Atkins or any of his successors. The No Grain diet offers three plans tailored to suit your needs: The booster plan (to ease you more gently into the plan), the core plan (for faster results), and the advanced plan (for those who need to lose a lot of weight fast for health reasons). What's more, it presents a unique psychological technique to combat cravings, bolster your self-belief and help you ride low periods, which usually lead you to break the diet. With delicious recipes and advice on additional factors to further support your new healthy lifestyle. The No Grain Diet is the last diet book you'll ever need. | *$20.65 |

<br>Jonathan Safran Foer spent much of his teenage and college years oscillating between omnivore and vegetarian. But on the brink of fatherhood-facing the prospect of having to make dietary choices on a child's behalf-his casual questioning took on an urgency His quest for answers ultimately required him to visit factory farms in the middle of the night, dissect the emotional ingredients of meals from his childhood, and probe some of his most primal instincts about right and wrong. Brilliantly synthesizing philosophy, literature, science, memoir and his own detective work, <i>Eating Animals</i> explores the many fictions we use to justify our eating habits-from folklore to pop culture to family traditions and national myth-and how such tales can lull us into a brutal forgetting. Marked by Foer's profound moral ferocity and unvarying generosity, as well as the vibrant style and creativity that made his previous books, <i>Everything is Illuminated</i> and <i>Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close</i>, widely loved, <i>Eating Animals</i> is a celebration and a reckoning, a story about the stories we've told-and the stories we now need to tell. <b></b> | *$14.29 |

 | The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Recipes from an Accidental Country Girl
Brand: William Morrow Cookbooks
<blockquote> <p> My name is Ree. </p> <p> Some folks know me as The Pioneer Woman. </p> </blockquote> <p> After years of living in Los Angeles, I made a pit stop in my hometown in Oklahoma on the way to a new, exciting life in Chicago. It was during my stay at home that I met Marlboro Man, a mysterious cowboy with steely blue eyes and a muscular, work-honed body. A strict vegetarian, I fell hard and fast, and before I knew it we were married and living on his ranch in the middle of nowhere, taking care of animals, and managing a brood of four young children. I had no idea how I'd wound up there, but I knew it was exactly where I belonged. </p> <p> <i>The Pioneer Woman Cooks</i> is a homespun collection of photography, rural stories, and scrumptious recipes that have defined my experience in the country. I share many of the delicious cowboy-tested recipes I've learned to make during my years as an accidental ranch wifeâincluding Rib-Eye Steak with Whiskey Cream Sauce, Lasagna, Fried Chicken, Patsy's Blackberry Cobbler, and Cinnamon Rollsânot to mention several "cowgirl-friendly" dishes, such as Sherried Tomato Soup, Olive Cheese Bread, and CrÃme BrÃlÃe. I show my recipes in full color, step-by-step detail, so it's as easy as pie to follow along. </p> <p> You'll also find colorful images of rural life: cows, horses, country kids, and plenty of chaps-wearing cowboys. </p> <p> I hope you get a kick out of this book of mine. I hope it makes you smile. I hope the recipes bring you recognition, accolades, and marriage proposals. And I hope it encourages even the most harried urban cook to slow down, relish the joys of family, nature, and great food, and enjoy life. </p> | *$14.99 |

<strong>Laheyâs âbreathtaking, miraculous, no-work, no-knead breadâ (<em>Vogue</em>) has revolutionized the food world.</strong> When he wrote about Jim Laheyâs bread in the <em>New York Times</em>, Mark Bittmanâs excitement was palpable: âThe loaf is incredible, a fine-bakery quality, European-style boule that is produced more easily than by any other technique Iâve used, and it will blow your mind.â Here, thanks to Jim Lahey, New Yorkâs premier baker, is a way to make bread at home that doesnât rely on a fancy bread machine or complicated kneading techniques. Witnessing the excitement that Bittmanâs initial piece unleashed worldwide among bakers experienced and beginner alike, Jim grew convinced that home cooks were eager for a no-fuss way to make bread, and so now, in this eagerly anticipated collection of recipes, Jim shares his one-of-a-kind method for baking rustic, deep-flavored bread in your own oven.<br /> <br /> The secret to Jim Laheyâs bread is slow-rise fermentation. As Jim shows in <em>My Bread</em>, with step-by-step instructions followed by step-by-step pictures, the amount of labor you put in amounts to 5 minutes: mix water, flour, yeast, and salt, and then let time work its magicâno kneading necessary. Wait 12 to 18 hours for the bread to rise, developing structure and flavor; then, after another short rise, briefly bake the bread in a covered cast-iron pot.<br /> <br /> The process couldnât be more simple, or the results more inspiring. My Bread devotes chapters to Jimâs variations on the basic loaf, including an olive loaf, pecorino cheese bread, pancetta rolls, the classic Italian baguette (<em>stirato</em>), and the stunning bread stick studded with tomatoes, olives, or garlic (<em>stecca</em>). He gets even more creative with loaves like Peanut Butter and Jelly Bread, others that use juice instead of water, and his Irish Brown Bread, which calls for Guinness stout. For any leftover loaves, Jim includes what to do with old bread (try bread soup or a chocolate torte) and how to make truly special sandwiches. <br /> <br /> And no book by Jim Lahey would be complete without his Sullivan Street Bakery signature, pizza Biancaâlight, crispy flatbread with olive oil and rosemary that Jim has made even better than that of Italyâs finest bakeries. Other pizza recipes, like a <em>pomodoro</em> (tomato), only require you to spread the risen dough across a baking sheet and add toppings before baking. <br /> <br /> HereâfinallyâJim Lahey gives us a cookbook that enables us to fit quality bread into our lives at home. color photos throughout. | *$16.97 |

 | Joy of Cooking: 75th Anniversary Edition - 2006
Brand: Cookbook Part Number: 296904
When the last edition of the Joy of Cooking appeared in 1997, it was a chef-centric, rarified global ingredient kind of moment. And now, 1997 seems very far away. This country is in an economically wobbly, terror-filled time where Americans have kept close to home both literally and figuratively. The 75th Anniversary Edition of the Joy of Cooking -- as it has always done -- speaks to the time it is published into. This Joy has come full circle from 1997 with a huge emphasis on American home cooking. We are not chasing the authentic Oaxacan enchilada here -- we have cheese, chicken, and beef. We have returned the casserole; included slow cooker recipes; restored chapters on jams, jellies, pickles, ice cream, and drinks. There is an eye to economy with expanded discussions on how to get the best out of tougher cuts of meat; the art of leftovers; and keeping household stock. With 500 completely new recipes and hundreds of recipes long edited out of previous editions, this is a brand-new, best-loved Joy of Cooking that rejoices in the cooking of the country that made it the bestselling cookbook of all time -- America. <P>BACK TO BASICS The perfect boiled egg*fluffy rice*pancakes light as air*choosing the perfect cut of meat* no fail cakes* knife skills* vegetables for every meal*cooking with fresh herbs*how to cook fish*roast chicken with crispy skin*fresh salads and homemade dressings*crisp fritters, fries, and onion rings* casserole cooking*finding the right sauce for the pasta*easy homemade pie dough*simple stock making*chewy and cakey cookies and brownies*quick pan sauces for meats <P>BRAND NEW A return to the American classics from enchiladas and chop suey to velvet cake and mud pie* all new illustrations*rich new soups*more grilling recipes*homemade ice cream and sorbet*slow cooker recipes*complete new grains*food for a crowd*how to freeze ingredients, dishes and entire meals*beverages and party drinks for entertaining and family meals* making jellies, jams and preserves* how to can fruits and vegetables*quick suppers*brining meats and shellfish <P>RETURN TO REFERENCE Cutting-edge nutritional information*Expanded Know Your Ingredients*More information about storing and keeping foods*more menu planning*new illustrations of techniques*new sections on high altitude baking and cooking*cooking with wine and spirits*stocking your pantry*buying the right equipment*expanded index*botanical information*ingredient substitutions*expanded information on fish and game*entertaining how-to from supper clubs to children's parties | *$19.72 |
