Everyone loves potatoes. This book transports cooks beyond the usual side dishes and introduces them to the secrets and specialties of great chefs and cooks the world over. Finamore shows how to prepare spectacularly simple appetizers, including dips, chips, and showstopping cocktail potatoes made from a few ordinary ingredients. He presents dozens of soups and salads, including rich Summer Vichyssoise and Herb Garden Potato Salad. There are more than fifty main-dish possibilities, suchas Sunday Lamb with Proper Roast Potatoes and Chicken Stuffed with Potatoes and Shiitake Mushrooms -- not to mention a sophisticated rendition of Shepherd's Pie. The potato turns up as the hidden ingredient in such breads as Potato Cheddar Bread with Chives and in such desserts as moist Farmhouse Chocolate Cake. Finamore shows how to master crisp steak fries, silky mashes, and sumptuous gratins. A bonus feature of the book is the sweet potato, in dishes from a delightfully nostalgic Baked Sweet Potatoes with Marshmallow to an urbane Semifreddo with Chocolate Sauce.

Für Max Flink bedeutet der Advent vor allem eines: viel Arbeit. Als Gemeindebediensteter von Funkelstein, einem kleinen (fiktiven) Ort im österreichischen Salzkammergut, kämpft er mit Lichterketten, Marktständen und überraschenden Schneemengen. Überall, wo Not am Mann ist, wird er zu Hilfe gerufen. Umso mehr genießt er es, wenigstens in der Freizeit Ruhe zu haben. Weil er aber seiner Tochter Kitty, die in der Landeshauptstadt Graz studiert, keinen Wunsch abschlagen kann, nimmt er ihr zuliebe deren Freundin als Hausgast auf. Sandra Glück ist nicht nur attraktiver, als es für seinen Seelenfrieden gut ist. Mit ihrer herzlichen Art und ihrer Hilfsbereitschaft macht sie sich schnell in Funkelstein beliebt. Auch Max bleibt davon nicht unberührt, aber sich mit der besten Freundin seiner Tochter einzulassen, ist für ihn ein No-Go, auch wenn nur acht Jahre Altersunterschied zwischen ihnen liegen. Als auch noch überraschend seine Exfrau in Funkelstein auftaucht, ist es mit der Ruhe endgültig vorbei. Ein weihnachtlicher Wohlfühlroman mit viel Liebe, Romantik und einer Prise Humor. Das Taschenbuch umfasst 359 Seiten.

Thomas Balogh (1905-1985) had a conspiratorial nature and deliberately kept to the shadows so that his substantial role in political life has been little known. His predictions were usually right and he looked at economic and political issues from unconventional angles, but he was an exasperating man who thrived on controversy. He made many enemies and had numerous fallings-out, especially with the civil service, and this affected the way his advice was perceived. This first and only biography covers his life and work: from his youth in Budapest, to his coming to Britain in 1930 and being taken up by Keynes; his advance to being a well known if highly controversial political economist; his r...
