Prison Ramen - Recipes and Stories from Behind Bars

Clifton Collins, Gustavo “Goose” Alvarez

Summary

A unique and edgy cookbook, Prison Ramen takes readers behind bars with more than 65 ramen recipes and stories of prison life from the inmate/cooks who devised them, including celebrities like Slash from Guns n’ Roses and the actor Shia LaBeouf. Instant ramen is a ubiquitous food, beloved by anyone looking for a cheap, tasty bite—including prisoners, who buy it at the commissary and use it as the building block for all sorts of meals. Think of this as a unique cookbook of ramen hacks. Here’s Ramen Goulash. Black Bean Ramen. Onion Tortilla Ramen Soup. The Jailhouse Hole Burrito. Orange Porkies—chili ramen plus white rice plus ½ bag of pork skins plus orange-flavored punch. Ramen Nuggets. Slash’s J-Walking Ramen (with scallions, Sriracha hot sauce, and minced pork). Coauthors Gustavo “Goose” Alvarez and Clifton Collins Jr. are childhood friends—one an ex-con, now free and living in Mexico, and the other a highly successful Hollywood character actor who’s enlisted friends and celebrities to contribute their recipes and stories. Forget flowery writing about precious, organic ingredients—these stories are a first-person, firsthand look inside prison life, a scared-straight reality to complement the offbeat recipes.

Ketogenic Diet for Beginners -...

Grizzly Publishing

Most of us KNOW that what we eat on a day to day basis probably isn’t quite as good as it could be, but that doesn’t really help us.
And I should know – because I was there.
For years I struggled with my diet. It didn’t really matter what way of eating I followed, I never felt particularly good, I rarely had any energy, and I was rendered completely unable to make the changes to my body that I really desired.
And as a personal trainer who regularly gave out dietary advice… well, let’s just say that it didn’t sit all that well with me.
Fortunately, a very close friend of mine introduced me to some interesting research around the Ketogenic diet. While I was certainly a bit skeptical at first, I was also willing to try absolutely anything to make the changes that I wanted to make.
So I did try it…
And the rest (as they say) is history.
After introducing the ketogenic diet into my lifestyle, I started to feel a lot better on a daily basis. This came with increased energy combined with some pretty positive changes in my physical appearance (if I do say so myself...).
After having a heap of success with both myself and many of my clients, I thought this might be something that could help others who had experienced similar problems.
So here is the solution.
In the following book you will find:
The science behind the ketogenic dietHow the ketogenic can maximize health AND weight loss
A guide explaining HOW you can implement the ketogenic diet into your life
A troubleshooting guide on how to use the ketogenic diet
While I can give you the HOW, it is entirely up to you to make this change. The information in this book has the capacity to change your life if are ready to take the jump and give it a shot.

Pumpkins & Squashes - Over 100...

Janet Macdonald

“A volume that demystifies these vegetables and presents a hundred or so recipes that are simple and, for the most part, economic to prepare.” —Mostly Food & Travel Journal   Everyone knows and loves the traditional pumpkin—plump and golden carved into a Halloween lantern—and perhaps you’ve prepared a pumpkin pie or a thick pumpkin soup. But in the last few years other more interesting and varied varieties such as patty pans, kabocha, butternut, acorn, and spaghetti squashes have become available from farmer’s markets and allotment gardeners.   For all those cooks who have wondered what to do with these glorious new vegetables, or those who simply want some inspirational ideas for the good old pumpkin or what to do with that glut of zucchini—here are the recipes. From Pumpkin and White Bean Soup to Minted Zucchini Soup; from Squash Couscous to Zucchini Bread; from Spicy Pumpkin, Rum, and Raisin Ice Cream to Pumpkin Wine, there are over one hundred easy-to-prepare dishes such as stews, pasta sauces, pickles, relishes, cakes, breads, quiches, biscuits, and jams, to take you through the entire year.   For those enthusiasts who like to grow their own produce there are cultivation instructions and seed sources as well as advice on picking, storing, and a guide to varieties.   “This book offers countless recipes for all varieties of squash. There are sweet and savoury recipes alike, including a few surprises.” —Mutherfudger
