  Americans pride themselves in their knack for innovation, and nowhere has America’s can-do attitude been more apparent than at the supermarket. Need a cheese that is virtually indestructible? Want to find a way to stretch a pound of hamburger into a hearty main course for a family of five? Hard pressed for time to throw together a home-cooked meal? In the early decades of the twentieth century, and from the world wars to the cold wars, food producers and everyday dreamers met these challenges with the same ingenuity and resourcefulness that launched the country to the moon and back, with groundbreaking packaging, new technologies, and improvements on Mother Nature.  
  Better Than Homemade is food biographer Carolyn Wyman’s freewheeling and entertaining cultural history of the innovative packaged foods that changed the way we eat. With dozens of archival ads and original product shots of Hamburger Helper, Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, Minute Rice, Coffee-mate, Green Giant Canned Peas, Lipton Cup-a-Soup, Pillsbury Crescent Rolls—and many more revolutionary products—Better Than Homemade highlights the fascinating stories behind the food inventions; the histories behind the brands and icons that have become synonymous with them; the jingles that have made them such a large part of our popular culture; and the recipes that have tutored generations of homemakers and comfort food master chefs.

  The next great ingredient in the craft cocktail revolution has arrived: craft beer.    Bartender and cocktail consultant Jacob Grier offers up more than fifty thirst-quenching concoctions featuring beer. Long considered a beverage best enjoyed on its own, beer has now become a favorite ingredient for top bartenders around the world. In Cocktails on Tap, Grier collects the best of these contemporary creations alongside forgotten classics.   While the Mai Ta-IPA adds a refreshing note to a tropical favorite, the Green Devil boosts a powerful Belgian beer with gin and a rinse of absinthe. In Cocktails on Tap, the vast range of today’s beers, from basic lagers to roasty stouts and sour Belgian ales, is shaken up for mixologists looking to add some spice—and hop—to their repertoire.   “Grier is a masterful guide through the wickedly creative terrain of beer cocktails, offering not just delightful recipes, but history and cultural commentary, too. Connoisseurs and neophytes alike will find much to savor, and the latter will appreciate Jacob’s tutelage in cocktail basics. Grab a copy and start mixing!” —Maureen Ogle, author of Ambitious Brew: The Story of American Beer “Jacob Grier was at the forefront of the beer cocktail renaissance before many of us had ever contemplated the idea of a beer cocktail. His vast knowledge of beer and passionate dedication to this area of mixology is certain to push the craft of cocktails forward in a positive new direction.” —Jeffrey Morgenthaler, author of The Bar Book

  These Delicious Recipes Will Protect Your Heart And Your Brain 
  This collection of two cookbooks is a lifesaver for you.Fad diets come and go. One year everyone is going low-fat, the next year everyone’s trying to reach ketosis by eating bacon and butter, then everyone’s suddenly obsessed with juices… and judging by the fact that the obesity epidemic is still there, most of these miracle diets don’t work. 
  However, scientists decided to cut through the noise of dietary trends. They took the diets with proven health benefits and tried to find what really made them effective. 
  Here’s what they’ve found. 
   All scientifically proven healthy diets encourage you to eat less meat, more veggies, and more healthy oils. You don’t have to go fully vegan but most of your food should be plant-based.This prevents heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and some cancers. 
   But how do you start eating healthier? If you’re not a professional cook, chances are that you know about five recipes and most of them are either meat-based or something like mac and cheese. 
  These two books will expand your culinary horizons and teach you healthy cooking. The first one focuses on the scientifically approved Mediterranean diet whereas the second book offers a variety of strictly vegan recipes. 
   Here’s what makes these books special: 
  ·     The variety of recipes: you’ll find both timeless classics and fun, creative meals 
  ·     Rich colorful illustrations 
  ·     Precise step-by-step directions 
  ·     No advanced cooking skills or special equipment needed 
  ·     Expert tips on how to modify the recipes according to your taste 
   If you’re not ready for a fully vegan diet, you’ll still find the vegan cookbook valuable.
