How Italian Food Conquered the...

John F. Mariani

“[An] entertaining and savory gastronomical history of the cuisine of Italy and how it won over appetites worldwide.” —USA TodayNot so long ago, Italian food was regarded as a poor man's gruel—little more than pizza, macaroni with sauce, and red wines in a box. Here, John Mariani shows how the Italian immigrants to America created, through perseverance and sheer necessity, an Italian-American food culture, and how it became a global obsession. The book begins with the Greek, Roman, and Middle Eastern culinary traditions before the boot-shaped peninsula was even called “Italy,” then takes readers on a journey through Europe and across the ocean to America alongside the poor but hopeful Italian immigrants who slowly but surely won over the hearts and minds of Americans by way of their stomachs.Featuring evil villains such as the Atkins diet and French chefs, this is a rollicking tale of how Italian cuisine rose to its place as the most beloved fare in the world, through the lives of the people who led the charge.With savory anecdotes from these top chefs and restaurateurs:Danny MeyerTony MantuanoMichael ChiarelloGiada de LaurentiisGiuseppe CiprianiNigella LawsonAnd the trials and triumphs of these restaurants:Da SilvanoSpiaggiaBottegaUnion Square CaféMaialinoRao'sBabboIl Cantinori“Mariani captures the history and elemental beauty of a cuisine that really does seem to appeal to more palates than any other . . . you owe it to yourself to read this book.” —Las Vegas Weekly

Ghost Writing Gold - Strike Gold...

Ben Geisler

Ghost Writing Gold: Strike Gold When You Learn How to Hire the Best Ghostwriter For You! 
When you hire a writer for your eBook, what you are doing is enlisting the services of a ghostwriter. A ghostwriter is a writer who publishes under someone else's name, with the consent of both parties. Traditionally, ghostwriters have been and are still today hired by celebrities to write autobiographies when the celebrities are not talented writers. Ghostwriters also sometimes create works for well-known authors, such as Tom Clancy. This practice is done for business reasons, because the author's name alone will sell the books, no matter who actually wrote them. 
In this audiobook, you will learn why eBooks are great ways to earn money these days and if you don’t have a talent for writing, you can employ the services of ghost writers that will help you write them. 
This audiobook will cover the following topics: 
- How to Select a Great Topic 
- Where to Find Great Writers 
- How to Choose the Best Writer For Your Project 
- And many more! 
Ultimately you will own the copyright of what the ghostwriter wrote, and you can sell the eBook as many times as you like. If it sounds like a pretty nice arrangement, it is. It's all completely legal and commonly done. To learn more, scroll up and click “add to cart” now!
