A charming, whimsically illustrated picture book about joie de vivre, told from the perspective of a child named Julia who loves to cook. Sure to be savored by readers of all ages. Julia and Simca are two young friends who agree that you can never use too much butter -- and that it is best to be a child forever. Sharing a love of cooking and having no wish to turn into big, busy people who worry too much and dawdle too little, they decide to create a feast for growing and staying young. A playful, scrumptious celebration of the joy of eating, the importance of never completely growing up and mastering the art of having a good time, Julia, Child is a fictional tale loosely inspired by the life and spirit of the very real Julia Child -- a story that should be taken with a grain of salt and a generous pat of butter.
An instructive cookbook with more than eight hundred recipes in which Julia Child blends classic techniques with American cooking and emphasizes freshness and simpler preparation.
This sequel to Julia Child & Co. is a menu cook book which considers all of the components of cooking for company.
Features interviews with sixteen American master chefs and presents fifty of their recipes, explaining individual techniques that make the dishes memorable
Have you ever wanted to learn more about Mediterranean cuisine? Albanian dishes represent some of the tastiest in the region, and the recipes in this cookbook bring them to your home. The cuisine of Albania, like that of many Balkan and Mediterranean countries, is much influenced by the country's history. The area known now as Albania has been occupied or claimed through the years by Ottoman Turks, Italy, Serbia and Greece, and all these groups left their marks on Albanian cuisine. Albanians care a great deal about their midday meal, which is the main meal of the day. It usually features a fresh vegetable salad, along with the main dish of meat and vegetables. In the coastal areas of Albania, seafood specialties are quite common. In the areas that are higher in elevation, many people eat pickled preserves and smoked meats, since many of the other foods are not easily found in those regions. Albanian desserts are popular in many Balkan countries, and also trace their roots to Greece and Turkey. They incorporate lemons and oranges among the favorite flavors. Turn the page and start making Albanian meals for yourself!

Hollywood, 1946. When Nancy Valentine meets the dashing crown prince of Cooch Behar, sparks fly almost instantly. Sporty-as she lovingly nicknames him-is like nobody the beautiful young actress has ever met before. She is swept away to Sporty's kingdom in India just as the country is caught up in a tumultuous freedom struggle. And before she knows it, Nancy is entangled in a whirlwind of intrigue, espionage and attempted murder. Sporty comes under great pressure from his elegant and formidable mother, who believes his marriage to a foreigner will weaken the family's position with their people-and make them vulnerable to a government takeover. Amid growing opposition to the couple's union, the state's fabled Mughal Ruby disappears, and its curse will shadow them all. From the glitz of Hollywood to the lush chambers of Indian royalty, The Star of India weaves a spirited tale of a strong-willed woman whose fate was deeply entwined with the momentous birth of modern India.
