Beschreibung

The inimitable Francis Brennan shares his philosophy for life: spread a little sparkle dust and make the world a happier place

Have you ever wondered which fork to use when dining out? Or how to make the perfect cup of tea? If you've ever wanted to learn the correct etiquette for weddings, funerals and christenings, this is the book for you! Covering everything from gracefully handling office politics to what gifts to bring to a dinner party, this book will advise you on everything you need to lead a well-groomed and well-mannered life.

Francis Brennan, the hugely successful proprietor of the Park Hotel Kenmare and presenter of RTÉ's highly rated 'At Your Service' believes it's the little things in life that count the most. And by following his philosophy based on manners, etiquette and respect, he has built an extremely successful business and a very happy life.

With his signature charm and wit, Francis shares with you his personal code for living – including the correct way to position a toilet roll, and the direction in which your pillowcase should face!

Full of fun and personal memories, Francis will motivate you to pay attention to the small things that make a big difference.

'You get the feeling that if he ever called over to your house you'd have a totally delightful evening drinking tea with him, and although he might rearrange the cushions on your sofa and criticise your choice of hand soap, he'd do it so nicely you'd end up offering him all the fancy biscuits.'
Beaut.ie

'Wouldn't it be a great if restaurateurs got hold of Francis' book and doled it out to, ahem, deserving parents?'

    In today's busy world, we all crave something deeper and truer. Whether we're seeking relationships that go beyond the surface or gatherings that allow for joy and pain, Bri McKoy reminds us that all we need is a table, open hearts, and a simple invitation: come and eat. 
    Join Bri as she invites you to discover how a common dining room table can be transformed into a place where brokenness falls away to reveal peace and fellowship. Whether your table is laid with bounty or meager offerings, surrounded by the Body of Christ or homeless, broken souls, she shows us that healing begins when we open our hearts and homes. 
    Throughout the pages of Come and Eat, Bri gives you the tools and encouragement you need to:Learn to look more intently at the tables God is preparing before youCome to the table with your brokenness, your celebration, and your worriesCreate a warm and welcoming environment 
    Chock full of recipes, timeless tips, and thoughtful questions for discussion, Come and Eat reminds us that fellowship in God's love is always the most remembered, most cherished nourishment. Because when we make room for others, we make room for God, and our homes become vibrant sources of life, just as he means them to be. 
    Praise for Come and Eat: 
    "A coveted place at Bri’s table also means she has made a loving space for you in her heart. In this book, with unbound generosity, Bri shares both table and heart with all of us." 
    --Joy Wilson, bestselling author of Joy the Baker's Over Easy 
    "Bri takes the best of life--neighbors, good food, the hope of Christ--and cooks it down into an invitation to reach for the solace of community. I'll be holding on to Come and Eat, both for the go-to recipes and for the reminder that God's love for me is a feast best shared with those around me."

    Barbecue: It's America in a mouthful. The story of barbecue touches almost every aspect of our history. It involves indigenous culture, the colonial era, slavery, the Civil War, the settling of the West, the coming of immigrants, the Great Migration, the rise of the automobile, the expansion of suburbia, the rejiggering of gender roles. It encompasses every region and demographic group. It is entwined with our politics and tangled up with our race relations. 
     
    Jim Auchmutey follows the delicious and contentious history of barbecue in America from the ox roast that celebrated the groundbreaking for the US Capitol building to the first barbecue launched into space almost 200 years later. The narrative covers the golden age of political barbecues, the evolution of the barbecue restaurant, the development of backyard cooking, and the recent rediscovery of traditional barbecue craft. Along the way, Auchmutey considers the mystique of barbecue sauces, the spectacle of barbecue contests, the global influences on American barbecue, the roles of race and gender in barbecue culture, and the many ways barbecue has been portrayed in our art and literature. It's a spicy story that involves noted Americans from George Washington and Abraham Lincoln to Louis Armstrong, Elvis Presley, Martin Luther King Jr., and Barack Obama.

    “A wonderful collection of warming recipes and stories perfect for the multicultural way we eat, entertain, and live today.” —Anita Lo, Michelin-starred chef and author of Solo 
     
    For more than 10 years, The Good Fork has been one of Brooklyn’s favorite restaurants. It’s a neighborhood spot that offers a rare treat in the crowded, slick New York food scene: a restaurant that feels like home. Chef Sohui Kim and her husband live down the block, blurring the lines between their kitchen at home and the restaurant kitchen. The Good Fork Cookbook is packed with Kim’s recipes for flavorful, globally inspired cuisine that a home cook can make any night of the week. Her influences and techniques range from French and Italian to American and Korean, but every dish is comforting, unfussy: Pork Dumplings; Korean-Style Steak and Eggs with Kimchee Rice and Fried Eggs; Buttermilk Fried Chicken and Waffles; and more. The Good Fork Cookbook shares the recipes that made The Good Fork Brooklyn’s favorite mom-and-pop shop. 
     
    “I believe that deep down inside, every American cook wants to cultivate the delicate touch, thoughtful spirit, and audacious flavors found in Sohui’s cooking. Her distinctive style of combining Korean traditions with contemporary American flavors in such a personal way makes her cooking, her restaurants, and now her cookbook a reference point for all that is good in our food world today.” —Michael Anthony, James Beard Award-winning chef, Gramercy Tavern  
     
    “With this book, you can—at last!—re-create Sohui’s incredibly flavorful, soulful, and comforting food in an actual home.” —Michelle Williams, actor
