Part memoir, part wine education, this delightful and inspiring page-turner will keep you up way past your bedtime.&” — Lisa Denning, The Wine Chef BlogUnlike most soon-to-be college graduates, Kara Joseph found something in wine she couldn't quite explain. It had nothing to do with the penny wine nights down at the local pub or the off-campus mixers. It called to her. It brought people together. The mystery and unshakable feeling that it was more than just a drink led her on a journey toward becoming a sommelier, taking on Napa Valley and New York City, and finding the answers in wine she desperately yearned to discover. Pursuing wine as her passion brought Kara adventures, struggles, and an insatiable desire to understand wine to the core. If Wine Could Talk intertwines two stories, one of a young girl's narrative molded by wine and the other being the answers to all your need-to-know wine questions. Follow Kara's story of defying limiting beliefs, choosing a challenging but rewarding path, and sharing the soul of the vine. So pour yourself a glass and dive into a tale that only an unconventional wine-filled life could create, and begin your own journey of wine discovery with an education on all the wine basics. You might even impress your friends at the next wine tasting.
If You Can't Take the Heat: Tales of Food, Feminism, and Fury
by Geraldine DeRuiterNATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the James Beard Award–winning blogger behind The Everywhereist come hilarious, searing essays on how food and cooking stoke the flames of her feminism.&“With charm and humor, Geraldine DeRuiter welcomes us into her personal history and thus reconnects us with ourselves.&”—Mikki Kendall, New York Times bestselling author of Hood FeminismWhen celebrity chef Mario Batali sent out an apology letter for the sexual harassment allegations made against him, he had the gall to include a recipe—for cinnamon rolls, of all things. Geraldine DeRuiter decided to make the recipe, and she happened to make food journalism history along with it. Her subsequent essay, with its scathing commentary about the pervasiveness of misogyny in the food world, would be read millions of times, lauded by industry luminaries from Martha Stewart to New York Times restaurant critic Pete Wells, and would land DeRuiter in the middle of a media firestorm. She found herself on the receiving end of dozens of threats when all she wanted to do was make something to eat (and, okay fine, maybe take down the patriarchy).In If You Can&’t Take the Heat, DeRuiter shares stories about her shockingly true, painfully funny (and sometimes just painful) adventures in gastronomy. We&’ll learn how she finally got a grip on her debilitating anxiety by emergency meal–planning for the apocalypse. (&“You are probably deeply worried that in times of desperation I would eat your pets. And yes, I absolutely would.&”) Or how she learned to embrace her hanger. (&“Because women can be a lot of things, but we can&’t be angry. Or president, apparently.&”) And how she inadvertently caused another international incident with a negative restaurant review. (She made it on to the homepage of The New York Times&’s website! And she got more death threats!)Deliciously insightful and bitingly clever, If You Can&’t Take the Heat is a fresh look at food and feminism from one of the culinary world&’s sharpest voices.

Ikaria: Lessons on Food, Life, and Longevity from the Greek Island Where People Forget t o Die
by Diane KochilasThe remote and lush island of Ikaria in the northeastern Aegean is home to one of the longest-living populations on the planet, making it a "blue zone." Much of this has been attributed to Ikaria's stress-free lifestyle and Mediterranean diet-daily naps, frequent sex, a little fish and meat, free-flowing wine, mindless exercise like walking and gardening, hyper-local food, strong friendships, and a deep-rooted disregard for the clock.No one knows the Ikarian lifestyle better than Chef Diane Kochilas, who has spent much of her life on the island. Part cookbook, part travelogue, Kochilas's Ikaria is an introduction to the food-as-life philosophy and a culinary journey through luscious recipes, gorgeous photography, and captivating stories from locals. Capturing the true spirit of the island, Kochilas explains the importance of shared food, the health benefits of raw and cooked salads, the bean dishes that are passed down through generations, the greens and herbal teas that are used in the kitchen and in the teapot as "medicine," and the nutritional wisdom inherent in the ingredients and recipes that have kept Ikarians healthy for so long.Ikaria is more than a cookbook. It's a portrait of the people who have achieved what so many of us yearn for: a fuller, more meaningful and joyful life, lived simply and nourished on real, delicious, seasonal foods that you can access anywhere.

by Diane KochilasDiane Kochilas' new cookbook that brings the plant-based cuisine of Ikaria to your dinner table.Ikaria is an island in Greece where people live to a ripe old age, sometimes living well past 100.

The array of plant-based dishes in the Greek diet is unsurpassed anywhere else in the Mediterranean. Diane’s pantry, and the one she suggests for readers, is culled from the traditions of the Mediterranean and is full of ingredients that have long given food its flavor: herbs, olive oil, nuts, and more. The recipes in The Ikaria Way are simple, almost entirely plant-based, prepared with real food and almost nothing processed, save for the occasional can of tomatoes. Readers will love meze like smoked eggplant with tahini and walnuts or baked chickpeas and pumpkin patties. There are wonderful salads combining strawberries and asparagus and robust mains like white bean stew with eggplant.The Ikaria Way brings the healthy-eating recipes of an ancient island to readers everywhere. It is destined to take its place alongside Diane’s other books on the shelves of all good home cooks who want healthy eating and robust, delicious flavors on the same plate.

Il Buco: Stories & Recipes
by Donna Lennard Joshua David SteinForeword by Alice Waters In honor of its twenty-fifth anniversary comes this full-color culinary celebration of Il Buco, one of New York City’s most beloved restaurants, featuring more than 80 mouthwatering recipes and detailing the romantic origins of the restaurant’s philosophy of sourcing the best prime materials, including olive oil, salt, vinegar and all that make the Mediterranean way of life so alluring. "This book holds the succulent substance of Il Buco’s history, which has always been guided by Donna’s acute intuition. Through these pages, we travel around the Mediterranean, from the vineyards of Umbria to the salt flats of Sicily, visiting the farmers, artisans, and winemakers in their element. And then we return to Bond Street, stories and recipes in hand, to celebrate life and everything possible at the melting edge of sizzling pans and the heart of Italy."—Francis MallmannIn New York City, restaurants, even very good ones, come and go. But there are a very small number of establishments that take root and continue to flourish, where food, wine, atmosphere, history, and all the makers behind the scenes come together in a unique alchemy to create an experience. Il Buco is such a place. For over 25 years, Donna Lennard has presided over an international—and ever growing—family of artisans, farmers, winemakers, chefs and regulars from her outpost on Bond Street in the heart of New York City. Since 1994, Il Buco has withstood the test of time.In Il Buco, written with Joshua David Stein, Donna shares her incredible journey from antique shop owner to award-winning restaurateur and taste-maker. She reflects on the iconic ingredient-driven, farm-to-table Italian cooking that seduced palates and earned the loyalty of notoriously discriminating New York diners. Donna also expounds upon the essential elements of good eating and good living she learned over the restaurant’s nearly three-decade history. Both a cookbook and a deeply personal journey through the places and with the people who have influenced the restaurant’s ethos the most, Il Buco includes the beloved best-of dishes from the kitchen’s roster of now-famous chefs: Ignacio Mattos’s Black Kale Salad, Justin Smillie’s Bucatini Cacio e Pepe, and Sara Jenkins’s Porchetta alla Romana, to name a few. It also includes profiles of the artisans whose craftsmanship evokes the warm Mediterranean patinas that have enhanced the restaurants’ atmosphere over the years.Donna has dedicated her life to identifying, cultivating, and celebrating the essential ingredients of a beautiful life well-lived. Il Buco isn’t just a place, it’s a feeling—of warmth, of home, of ease, of love—and Il Buco allows any home cook to experience some of the restaurant’s beautiful and inviting magic, creating sumptuous easy meals to enjoy at his or her own table. Accompanying the mouthwatering recipes and gorgeous photography are Donna’s insights on what it truly means to live well and to eat well and tributes to food producers in Spain, Italy, France and other parts of the world, including dedicated chapters on the building blocks to a perfect meal: salt, olive oil, wine, and salumi, among others.Il Buco is a very personal exploration of what makes the heart of a restaurant and a lifestyle: a celebration of a true New York success story. It is a book about learning to listen to what pleases us, and a reminder of just how wide, wonderful, and flavorful the world is.

Il Diabete: Una guida alle basi per sconfiggerlo, perdere peso e vivere una vita sana
by Adidas WilsonIl diabete è causato da una mancata o insufficiente secrezione di insulina, o dall'impossibilità delle cellule ti utilizzarla in modo efficiente o corretto. Quest'ultima condizione causa insulino-resistenza, quindi diabete di tipo 2. La mancanza totale di insulina è il problema principale nei diabetici di tipo 1. Un'altra condizione del diabete di tipo 2 è la forte riduzione delle cellule beta che contribuisce ulteriormente all'aumento degli zuccheri nel sangue. Il glucosio è uno zucchero semplice che si trova comunemente negli alimenti. Fornisce energia per aiutare le cellule del corpo a funzionare correttamente. Viene assorbito nel sangue dall'intestino tenue dove i carboidrati vengono digeriti. Una volta nel sangue, il glucosio viene portato alle cellule del corpo e utilizzato lì. L'insulina facilita l'assorbimento del glucosio nelle cellule del sangue. Senza di essa, le cellule non possono assorbire il glucosio e questo si accumula nel flusso sanguigno. L'insulina è un ormone speciale prodotto nel pancreas dalle cellule beta. Facilita l'assorbimento del glucosio nelle cellule e regola la glicemia, che aumenta quando si consuma un pasto. In risposta a questo, più insulina viene rilasciata nel sangue dal pancreas per abbassare i livelli di zucchero nel sangue, aiutando le cellule ad assorbire il glucosio. I fattori di rischio per il diabete di tipo 1 non sono ben compresi come i fattori di rischio di tipo 2.

Il JERKY in tavola
by Ashley Andrews Alessandro MannaraIntroduzione Il jerky (carne essiccata) è uno snack ricco di proteine che può esser mangiato ovunque ci si trovi; non va mai a male e quando viene fatto in casa assume un sapore assolutamente delizioso! È molto popolare tra le mamme che vogliono un'alternativa alle merendine piene di zuccheri che piacciono tanto ai loro figli ed è lo spuntino preferito degli escursionisti che desiderano mettere nello zaino qualcosa di leggero ma al contempo sostanzioso. In realtà tutti amano il jerky perché è divertente da masticare e ricco di sapore! C'è da dire che è anche molto più conveniente farselo a casa propria utilizzando carne di prima scelta ed eliminando solfiti o nitrati, cosa da non sottovalutare. Le ricette di questo libro sono chiare e facili da seguire, e ben presto vi ritroverete a mescolare spezie e sapori a vostro gusto e piacimento. Ricordate di divertirvi nei vostri esperimenti per riuscire a creare il tipo di carne essiccata che preferite. Prima di iniziare, ci sono un paio di cose da sapere: Scegliere la carne Ogni ricetta richiederà un diverso taglio di carne, ma vi sono anche delle regole generali da seguire. È meglio utilizzare carne magra. Purtroppo il grasso contribuisce a rovinare la carne essiccata più velocemente perché si irrancidisce. Un po' di grasso andrà bene e tutte le ricette consigliano di tagliare dalla carne il grasso in eccesso, ma assicuratevi di non cucinare soltanto pezzi di carne con venature di grasso. Inoltre, utilizzate carne fresca di buona qualità. Ciò aumenterà la durata di conservazione delle vostre strisce di jerky nonché i loro benefici salutari e, non meno importante, avranno un sapore migliore! Tagliare la carne Quando preparate la vostra carne, dovrete tagliarla in strisce sottili. Più saranno sottili, migliore sarà il risultato; l'ideale sarebbe meno di un centimetro di spessore. Inoltre, tutte le ricette indicano la necessità di tagliare la carne par

I'll Have What She's Having
by Rebecca HarringtonA hilarious look at the eating habits of the fit and famous--from Gwyneth's goji berry and quail egg concoctions to Jackie Kennedy's baked potato and Beluga caviar regimen--Rebecca Harrington leaves no cabbage soup unstirred in her wickedly funny, wildly absurd quest to diet like the stars. Elizabeth Taylor mixed cottage cheese and sour cream; Madonna subsisted on "sea vegetables;" and Marilyn Monroe drank raw eggs whipped with warm milk. Where there is a Hollywood starlet offering nutritional advice, there is a diet Rebecca Harrington is willing to try. Facing a harrowing mix of fainting spells, pimples, and salmonella, Harrington tracks down illegal haggis to imitate Pippa Middleton, paces her apartment until the wee hours drinking ten Diet Cokes à la Karl Lagerfeld, and attempts something forbiddingly known as the "Salt Water Flush" to channel her inner Beyoncé. Rebecca Harrington risks kitchen fires and mysterious face rashes, all in the name of diet journalism. Taking cues from noted beauty icons like Posh Spice (alkaline!), Dolly Parton (Velveeta!), Sophia Loren (pasta!) and Cameron Diaz (savory oatmeal!), I'll Have What She's Having is completely surprising, occasionally unappetizing, and always outrageously funny.From the Trade Paperback edition.
