Summary

Fuchsia Dunlop trained as a chef at China's leading cooking school and is internationally renowned for her delicious recipes and brilliant writing about Chinese food. Every Grain of Rice is inspired by the healthy and vibrant home cooking of southern China, in which meat and fish are enjoyed in moderation, but vegetables play the starring role. 
 
Try your hand at blanched choy sum with sizzling oil, Hangzhou broad beans with ham, pock-marked old woman's beancurd or steamed chicken with shiitake mushrooms, or, if you've ever in need of a quick fix, Fuchsia's emergency late-night noodles.  
 
Many of the recipes require few ingredients and are startlingly easy to make. The book includes a comprehensive introduction to the key seasonings and techniques of the Chinese kitchen, as well as the 'magic ingredients' that can transform modest vegetarian ingredients into wonderful delicacies. 
 
With stunning photography and clear instructions, this is an essential volume for beginners and connoisseurs alike.

    Turning 50 is often a line in the sand for women. On one side is youth, on the other is the decline into old age. But that doesn’t mean we have to look old or act old — in fact, it’s quite the opposite. In our 50s we get the best of both worlds – the spryness of youth and the wisdom of aging. It’s the perfect decade to live our best lives and Maria Sabando has cracked the code on doing just that.  Through loads of fun, delicious, and healthy recipes sprinkled throughout, Maria motivates women to make food their friend, not their foe, and do it with pizazz as they entertain friends and family.  Maria loves yoga, and she introduces readers to a new pose in every chapter – encouraging them to find their own “yoga” – the exercise that feels like fun rather than work, helping to maintain a healthy weight with ease.  Along the way, she inspires readers to come to peace with their bodies. She helps women find a balance between enjoying food but not overindulging. Yet she’s no stranger to letting loose and having some fun, expressed in her quirky saying, “Indulge or you’ll bulge,” which means giving into temptation a little bit now so you can ward off the temptation to binge.  Through clever quips and true wisdom, Maria encourages women to embrace and enhance what makes them beautiful and release the rest with good humor. She goes well beyond giving tips to adopt a healthy lifestyle, eat well, and maintain a healthy weight. To Maria, these habits simply set the stage for readers to live the exact life they want to live, right now — one where women feel fully alive.  Yet, this is not just a self-help book. It’s also a memoir. Along the way, readers find a friend in Maria through personal stories that will make them laugh out loud at her mishaps and successes. It gives them a glimpse into what it was like growing up Italian in America, and being a bit of an Ita lian diva, today. Like listening to a familiar tune on the radio, women who grew up in the 60s and 70s will relate to her reminiscing and feel like they’re in a car loaded with friends, taking a ride through time with the top down.  This book is for every woman who could use a big shot of inspiration, a little boost, or simply a chance to laugh out loud as they step into their 50s and beyond. By the time readers turn the final page, they will have hundreds of clever ideas on how to craft a life of love, happiness, and meaning.

    “A feat of culinary legerdemain . . . Recipes for gluten-free fluffy cakes, chewy cookies, and crumbly bars—without a speck of gluten-free flour mix.” —The Kitchn   This collection of dessert recipes is so delicious no one will know they are gluten-free! With seventy-five recipes for naturally gluten-free desserts, author Nicole Spiridakis uses a wide range of non-wheat flours to finesse the balance between decadent and dietary. These tasty recipes bypass complicated alternate flour mixes and hard-to-find “gums,” fulfilling the increasing demand from those embracing a gluten-free diet (whether by necessity or choice). With creamy puddings infused with warm spices, cloudlike meringue cookies, dark chocolate brownies, and fruit crisps and crumbles, Flourless. turns dietary restrictions into something scrumptious.  “This book sets itself apart in the category by providing recipes that don’t require specialty flours, gums, or starches. A flawless angel food cake uses cornstarch; intense chocolate cookies rely on egg whites.” —Cooking Light   “These are lovely dessert ideas. They do happen to be flour-free but you won’t notice. Or mind. Not one bit.” —Cooking by the Book
